Cactus Jacks

It may never win any culinary awards, but it seldom disappoints a hungry diner. The restaurant also has a DJ at weekends and things can get pretty lively and wild after 11 pm, when the spicy Tex Mex food and the tequila kick in. Cactus Jacks dishes up the entire traditional menu, including: fajitas, burritos and tortillas, with plenty of meal deals and drinks specials

Da Vinci's Restaurant
