Lafayette is well know for many food restaurants, but very few offer Authentic Mexican food fare. Cactus is an explosion of taste with a full menu to try.
It all began in the summer of 2013, when old Maya’s empoyees start dreaming about their own restaurant in Lafayette, Louisiana. The founders’ goal was simple. To open not just a restaurant serving delicious, made-from-scratch Mexican food at everyday prices, but a place where guests of all ages could come together to experience the unique flavors, along with the art and culture of Mexico – all in a casual, comfortable setting.
We want to open restaurants from their original dreams share the real Authentic Mexican Cuisine and Culture to our acadiana community.
