Taco 'Bout a Good Time

Neon Cactus in Fairview is a Must-Visit!

By Laura Lui May 13, 2025

If you're on the hunt for bold flavors, good vibes, and unforgettable margaritas, then let me introduce you to your next favorite hangout: Neon Cactus in Fairview town Center! This lively spot has officially stolen a taco-shaped piece of my heart — and trust me, you’re going to want to grab your friends and head over ASAP.


The decor is so lively and fun!


First Things First: THE BIRRIA TACOS

Let's just cut to the chase — the birria tacos at Neon Cactus are next-level amazing. I’m talking rich, slow-braised beef that's juicy, flavorful, and practically melts in your mouth, all tucked into crispy, cheesy tortillas. Then there's the savory consomé for dipping... chef's kiss! Honestly, they're the best birria tacos I’ve had locally — and that’s saying a lot because I've been on a serious taco quest.

Every bite is the perfect balance of crispy, juicy, cheesy goodness. It’s the kind of taco experience that ruins you for all other tacos (and I mean that in the best way).

Margaritas That Deserve a Standing Ovation

What’s a great taco without a great drink? Neon Cactus totally gets it — that's why they offer a margarita flight that's basically a party on a tray.

You get to sample an assortment of their house-made margaritas, from classic lime to adventurous flavors like mangonada, amethyst fizz (raspberry topped with champagne), and spicy jalapeño. Each one is vibrant, refreshing, and expertly mixed — no overly sweet, artificial-tasting stuff here. It's like a mini-vacation for your taste buds with every sip.

(Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the spicy margarita. It’s got the perfect amount of kick to wake up your senses without setting your mouth on fire.)


The margarita flight is a MUST! They're delicious even sans alcohol.


More Than Just Tacos and Margaritas

While the birria tacos and margarita flights are the undeniable headliners, the rest of the menu holds its own too. From street corn to sizzling fajitas to creative appetizers that practically beg to be shared, Neon Cactus delivers serious flavor across the board.

The atmosphere is just as fantastic — bright, energetic, and full of fun, with neon signs, colorful decor, and a playlist that'll have you bopping in your seat between bites.
