Signature Mexican Cuisine in Antigua
All good things have an extraordinary origin, and the story of “Cactus,” inaugurated on May 5, 2012, in the beautiful city of Antigua, begins with Chef Lauramalia. As a tribute to her father, the poet Otto-Raúl González, she decided to bring a piece of her Mexico to this wonderful place. After enriching her recipes with international gastronomy, she arrived in Antigua to propose a fusion based on the famous Mexican tacos, which today is the restaurant’s hallmark. This achievement is recognized by the renowned guide “The Lonely Planet,” the “Bible” of travelers, which places “Cactus” among the top five recommendations in the Antigua, Guatemala section.
A special mention goes to the most requested and proudest dish of this establishment: the shrimp and bacon tacos, a signature creation by Chef Lauramalia, together with the Tlalpeño-style soup and the birria tacos, they always delight the enchanted diners. The cocktail bar offers a perfect pairing with the discerning palates of visitors, featuring everything from the extraordinary Chapina craft beer to the quintessentially Mexican “Classic Margarita,” made with the original recipe from the golden age of Acapulco!
This great little place has already become a must-visit in Antigua for anyone seeking excellence in service, flavor, and attention all in one place…
