I think the environment and design is great. It's clean, simple and comfortable. Kafety, former owner of East Hill Video, decided to open the restaurant at the encouragement of her friends. Kafety opened the restaurant April 17, after closing the video store for 10 months to make renovations. Ensconced in a bed of leafy greens, entrees come with the restaurant's own Santa Fe sauce drizzled on top.
Most entrees come with a side of rice and a choice of smashed or black beans.
A popular choice is the chimichanga, a lightly fried burrito filled with cheese and a choice of several meat fillings. The cafe features traditional Mexican favorites such as tacos and quesadillas as well as experimental dishes such as the layered enchilada, which can be best described as Mexican lasagna-type dish. Kafety is proud of the fact that all the food is fresh and healthily prepared. All frying is done using canola oil and sauteed items are cooked in extra virgin olive oil. This means vegetarians and vegans alike can enjoy Cactus Flower fare.
