The Brass Cactus Bar and Grill

Delicioso! Definitely try this place! All homemade fresh ingredients — even gave me fresh jalapeños with my burger upon request. Highly recommend!

Apparently they paid the gov’t ’cause they are open. And it’s got great food and service. We had two burgers and they were excellent. As others said, the owner is on premises. That means a lot to me. If you need a little touch of home, this will get it for you. This is one of those guys who knows how to run a bar/​restaurant. Try the flan too!

It’s currently closed since they haven’t paid the government! As of May 5, 2016! It was our go to spot for dinner when we were in town. Food was excellent and prices where decent.

This place is average. We had very slow service a decent burger and a salad that consisted of iceberg 2 croutons, a tomato wedge and and onion slice. If you’re looking to drink this might be the place for you. More of a bar than a restaurant

Dreadful. Bad service. Worse food. How this place gets 4 stars is beyond my understanding. The food was straight out of a frozen box and slapped on a plate. The worst restaurant I’ve ever been to.

Excelente. Las costillas de show y todo lo demás. Es como si estuvieras en USA. El pan de la casa de show.

Good «Americano» bar and grill with local flair. Lots of locals. Service was good. Food was ok.
Southwest burger was probably best.

Bland boring food that you can get at home. We don’t come to PR for this ick. Not recommended.

This place is absolutely terrible. Two beers and two shots $ 30. Complete rip off! Local bars down the street are much cheaper.
Oh and the $ 30 tab was considered happy hour. Run past the place not worth the price unless you are a local … you pay less.

I hate this place. To date it’s the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in Puerto Rico. Tourist trap for sure.

If I could, I would give this establishment 10 stars. Cynthia is AMAZING as well as the rest of the staff. The food is excellent & the atmosphere is both fun for adults as well as being kid friendly. The Santa Fe salad was my fav but the pork nachos were a close second. Go here & enjoy!

Best ribs in my life! Seriously. No lie. Not a beautiful bar or restaurant but these baby back pork ribs were melt off the bone. Clean restrooms. Happy belly here :)

This might be an odd review because I will solely focus on the customer service, not the food.
This place was a block front the place where we were staying. I had a mid term due my first day in PR and I needed some internet access for my laptop since the beach house was having problems with its wifi. I called ahead and asked if there was free wifi and the answer was yes.
Came in with my laptop and I was having troubling connecting to their wifi. I mentioned my dilemma to the very good looking bartender and he asked the owner to help me. As busy as the place was, they took the time to restart their router etc etc. I found that so great! Passed my mid term on time because of the great customer service at this place!

We appreciated how welcoming they were to all six of us in our group; especially the kids (they got balloons). They have a wide variety of options including a kid’s menu. Service was fast and friendly… our only issue was the food was good but not great.

Cactus
All seafood is frozen
No parking, the restaurant was empty (Monday) and we could barely find parking across the block, if place was half full, good luck walking to your car.
No ashtrays outside, so if you smoke you are forced to trash.
Tacos are good (was told by my friends)
Calamari terrible, had it my self, of course they were frozen like I was told by staff, but was promised its going to be crispy. It was not and some was not cooked all the way.
Liquor menu had no prices and local beer (medalla) is over priced, however the cocktails are reasonable price and was told by my wife they were really good.
Staff takes its time to check on you and never asked how was our food.
Inside and decorations were nice and enjoyable, rustic and old fashioned. However Britney Spears and backstreet boys music do not match.
Conclusion: would come back for food that is not seafood and have a cocktail. Pleasant atmosphere can make up for some issues.

P.S staff was nice when confronted bout anything and owners husband came to check on us and greeted very nicely.
All spoke English.
Thank you

First of all, the service is AMAZING! And Second of all, the FOOOOOD! Hahah sooo delicious mmm :)
Let me tell you about the fish tacos
The fish tacos are the best i have ever had! The fish was very soft and well seasoned along with the sauce that comes with it. Everything seems so fresh! The tacos were soft yet crispy/​toasty on the outside.
The rice on the side were so soft and sticky like paella but without the seafood/​meats — very flavorful and not too salty.
They have another side with nacho chips and beand on top with melted cheese on top of the beans! The chips were sooo crispy!
The waitress was so nice and responsive to our needs. She really wanted us to enjoy our meal! She gave us 4 varieties of hot sauces: pepper guava (my favorite), jungle heat, coco fire, and coqui fire! Alll were delicious, by your one and only The Brass Cactus!
WOW, everything was good!
Drinks:
Bushwacker was soo goood! It was like a creamy slushie. You have the option of topping it off with whipped cream and cinnamon! So bomb! I would totally get it again but i wanted to try the.
Melon Margarita! It is sweet yet strong at the same time! I should slow down haha jk, i looove melon flavor anything! Abd it comes in a cactus margarita cup!
You have to definitely check this place out! I could definitely see why this place has good ratings! Im so glad we came :))

Awesome Piña Coladas. Onion rings were OK. Nachos not worth it. Went twice during our trip.

Absolutely loved this place. It looked like a local spot that was very American. The service was amazing and the food was perfect. I really enjoyed the ambience and the license plates from different US states that were placated along the walls. I would definitely go back again! Absolutely loved it! Keep up the great work guys!

Great Margaritas !!!
I had the passion fruit Margarita and my friend the perfect Margaritas ! Both are great and tasty !!
Nice environment in the bar and the staff is friendly
Worth pass by while coming back from El Yunque or from the ferry to San juan !

Small and tight. There are some TVs to watch but don’t count on watching your big game here. Food was good. Pricey. Kids accepted lemonade refills but didn’t know they were $ 2.75 for each glass. $ 77 for our family of 4. That was withOUT any alcohol, appetizers, or dessert. Ouch.

Great local spot with delicious food. I ordered the fajita burrito and really enjoyed it. I’ve had the southwest burger as well, and it was delicious. The fish tacos were really popular with my party, they come highly recommended as well.
Great ambiance. Very friendly staff. The owner was present both times I was there and he is great, greets each of the tables and checks in to make sure everyone is enjoying their meals.
