They have great deals during the wee, like on Monday any Burrito or Chimichanga is just $5! As well they post specials on their Facebook page.The list of casualties from Trinity Groves, the West Dallas restaurant incubator founded by Phil Romano in 2013, surpasses the success stories, but one tasty exception is Fat Chicken, the homey mom-and-pop serving excellent Texas comfort food, with fried chicken as a centerpiece. We are already looking forward to our next visit to The Fat Cactus. And if that wasn’t enough it was topped off with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry! It was really good but it honestly would have been a bit better if it was softer as it was rock hard, but I suppose it’s tricky frying ice cream. We dug into the ice cream which is rolled in cinnamon and sugar and then coated with crusted cornflakes. A softball sized ball of ice cream was plated before us. We shared the Deep Fried Ice Cream dessert ($5.99). umm… yum! Again, the portions were generous, as the chimichanga was served with rice and a choice of refried beans or black beans, so Price saved half of his to make room for dessert as well. It was a perfect filling for the chimichanga, which basically is a deep fried burrito, which is then covered in queso. Carne Deshebrada is marinated, slow-cooked moist shredded beef. Price had a Chimichanga filled with Carne Deshebrada ($12.99). The rotisserie pork was marinated with pineapple and red Chilies, and then topped off with fresh onions, cilantro, and the same Baja sauce that was served with the Baja Spicy Popcorn Shrimp. The portion was rather large, and I was looking forward to dessert, so I only had 1 taco and some rice but that taco was so dang good. I selected therice, which was seasoned nicely and loaded with vegetables as well. The pair of pork tacos came with a choice of rice, refried beans, or black beans. I dipped some chips in the sauce as well since I enjoyed it so much.įor dinner I ordered the Tacos AL Pastore ($9.99). The dipping sauce was creamy and really quite spicy amping up the flavor of the shrimp even more.
The shrimp were flavorful on their own but even better when dipped into the Baja dipping sauce. The shrimp’s light coating was lightly fried to a toasty brown color. The shrimp were small and the perfect poppable appetizer.
It was a great alternative to the calamari that we typically order.
The Baja Spicy Popcorn Shrimp ($8.99) sounded like a great appetizer so we ordered that. Typically restaurant salsa is pretty plain and mild but this was good with some bite. The chips were crisp and salty, which went well with the salsa that came with a kick. We started with some complimentary chips and salsa. I would definitely order this margarita again. Because the margarita had orange juice instead of lime juice I decided to get it with sugar on the rim as I thought the sweetness would be a perfect pair. I thought it had a great boozy kick to it as it was pretty sweet from the prickly pear juice. I had the Prickly Pear Margy, which is their #1 best selling special ($9.95). He said that both were good but he preferred the one on the rocks much more. The Fat Cactus is their classic margarita consisting of Tequila, triple sec, sour mix, and fresh lime juice. Price enjoyed both a frozen Fat Cactus Margy and a Fat Cactus Margy on the Rocks ($6.59). The Fat Cactus is located on Rt 1 in Lynnfield, MA So we headed to The Fat Cactus- A Mexicali Cantina for a great dinner. And we had been recently been talking about going out to dinner so I just knew we had to try a place that we always say ‘oh we should go there!’ every time we drive by. I can’t resist the opportunity to have it. It’s just a cuisine that is so flavorful and delicious. I swear I could eat Mexican food twice a week and never get bored of it.
