One of the best spots in town!
Weather it’s date night or meeting with friends the prickly cactus is one of the best spots I’ve been to in Launceston!
Super fast service and meals cooked fresh.
I got the sizzling fajitas that was served on a hot plate while popping and crackling! Very impressive.
We got their famous “fishbowl” cocktail, we went with the blackcurrant flavour to share. Very pleasant & easy to drink! Got us both a little tipsy during the meal. We’d even manage to save $8 due to ordering during happy hour.
Only dislike is that the bottom floor room we were placed in at 6pm was very very hot even with the windows open. Was sweating up a storm!
Other then that we will be back next time!

We tried the special Mac and cheese balls. They were pretty floury and needed more than just a tomato sauce to bring them to life. Has a pulled pork Quesadilla add spice which was nice and surprisingly a good selection of veg in it. The chicken chimichanga was small but once again spice added to give it some flavour. Staff were friendly but seemed to be a busy Tues and they were a bit understaffed. Fishbowl margaritas in happy hour are a good deal but be interested in how much tequila is actually in them. Overall not bad but could be better.... Inside could use a bit more theme to make it feel like a Mexican restaurant instead of just any normal restaurant.

A fabulous evening meal with lovely staff and delicious food.
The menu has a few different items.
I had Pollo - beautiful stuffed chook breast with avocado (the breast was so succulent with crispy skin on top). My wife had baked avocado with seafood on top-yummo!!!

After looking at Google reviews for restaurant near the hotel we chose this place for the good reviews. Ordered Chimicanga ( I have never heard of this dish, so I thought I'd try)
👎 the rice was hard and not much flavor
👎 cheese was overpowering the taste of meat
👍 wide range of dishes that are nor commonly offered in other Mexican places
Menu is as 22Sep2023
