Well, I'm not going to tell you to go back, just because I don't want
to be responsible for you shelling out bucks for food you may not like
simply based on my word ;) - but I've been there several times, and
I like the place *very* much.  Every time I've gone, I've ordered the
beef fajitas al carbon, and I think they're wonderful.  Somewhat
similar to Rio Grande Cafe's fajitas, which I also like.  In fact,
I like the fajitas at the Cactus Grill so much that I'd never consider
ordering another entree.  What did you get that was so terrible?
