Opinions de El Cactus Real de Catorce
Excelente lo mejor de Real de Catorce. Comida con ingredientes frescos y todo súper limpio.
I’ve been to plenty of Italian restaurants and none have surprised me as pleasantly as this one. The food is excellent, the owner is super friendly and everything is made from scratch and it’s all delicious. there’s nothing you will try that will leave you disappointed. 10/10
The food is delicious; the pizza and pasta are very tasty, especially when paired with a nice wine. The sauces are spicy but very flavorful. The owner's service is excellent—very kind and helpful. She told us a bit about the history of the place. I would definitely return when I visit Real de Catorce. It's also a pet-friendly place ❤️
The pizza is 100% recommended, delicious and unique, especially the cabuche. We would definitely return to try the pasta, and the service was top-notch. And remember, life here isn't rushed.
As every year, on August 16th, during our visit to Real de 14, we arrived at our favorite place, "El Cactus." Thanks to Valerio and Beatriz for their excellent dishes and unbeatable service, as well as a very pleasant time together, culminating in a surprising and delicious house digestif made of green walnuts and liquor. My family and I enjoyed a pleasant conversation and delightful gathering.
There were five of us, and none of us had ever tasted a better pizza than the ones here. The pizza dough feels different from regular pizzerias, and you can tell it's handmade. The service was excellent, and they brought us exactly what we ordered. I think if you go to Real de Catorce, you absolutely have to go to Cactus because you'll be pleasantly surprised and will definitely want to come back.
A little gem of a place in the magical town of Real de Catorce. 🏜️ If you're looking for pizza and pasta with true Italian flavor and texture 🇮🇹 🫶🏼 you'll find it here! Chef Valerio is Italian and his wife Elizabeth is Mexican; they are the owners and in charge of creating this delicious meal. The place is small but cozy. We ordered rosemary potatoes as a starter, then an individual Desert Flowers pizza 🏜️, a pepperoni and cheese pizza, and a Boscaiola pasta (with mushrooms), which has a very rich flavor, not cloying at all, and the pasta is literally made from scratch by them. One of the best I've ever tried, we loved it❣️ For drinks, we ordered guava and strawberry lemonade, super delicious! The price is reasonable, I definitely recommend them! 💯 They're also pet-friendly and help stray dogs! 🫶🏼 And they also offer bags of kibble for a small fee so they can continue feeding them and continue supporting the cause. 🐶 🐕 🐾
A true gem! Our children and we love this place; we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the fellowship, and the conversation. The food is exquisite! A true delight to enjoy at leisure. Valerio and Elizabeth make the place magical; we ate there both days we stayed in Real. We will definitely go back on our next visit to enjoy their cuisine.
I loved it!! It is a very familiar place with the identical gastronomy of Italy! 🇮🇹homemade ingredients 🏠 I really loved it, I hope to return soon! It's nice to know that there is a place in Italy in real 14 🫶🏼🫶🏼🇮🇹🇲🇽
El Cactus is located right across from the main square in Real de Catorce. With an Italian menu, it incorporates local products into its pizzas and appetizers. The pasta, dough, and sauces are all made on-site, making it a cozy spot. I recommend the pizza (the desert flower one is worth trying) and the pasta (I opted for the Boscaiola, which was spectacular), as well as the teas, which can be sweetened with local honey. The prices are affordable and the service is very attentive. The good thing is that they accept credit cards; the bad thing is that they don't charge bills.
If there's one thing I love, it's eating, especially when the cuisine is authentic and the menus are concise... This is a small, rustic restaurant bursting with flavor, everything is well-prepared, and the service is unbeatable. We ordered the soup of the day, pizza, and lasagna...all excellent! If you go to Real de Catorce, you have to stop by and meet Valerio and Elizabeth, the owners. They're very friendly and chatty, and we had a great time...I've included some photos. I bought some cabuches (cactus buds) to make pasta at home with them and capers, and Elizabeth gave me some more in chipotle sauce—delicious! Will I be back? Absolutely!...see you next time!
A good restaurant in the center of Real de 14. 100% Italian and with great flavor. The prices are a bit high, but the portions are reasonable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They accept card and cash payments. It's an authentic Italian experience in the beautiful town of Real. The dishes are flavorful, but especially the sauces.
Their slogan is "Rustic Italian Cuisine," but they don't cook in a wood-fired oven. The pizza dough doesn't taste like it's been fermented in a rustic way; there aren't any bubbles. The tomato sauce on the pizzas is tasteless, as is the cheese. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza, and the pineapple was inedible—it was disappointing. I ordered a pizza with desert flowers, and it tasted okay, nothing spectacular, but the flavors weren't familiar since it had cabuches (agave hearts), maguey flowers, and aloe vera flowers, so I'd give it a 7. The flavors barely blended together. I also ordered pasta carbonara, and the sauce was too watery and tasteless. I'd give that pasta a 5. The staff is friendly, and the place is small, but I think they're overrated. It's not rustic at all, and frankly, the pizzas aren't good.
