Serving Townsville with Tex Mex fare and margaritas for nearly 30 years, Cactus Jack’s Bar & Grill on Palmer Street is a local favourite. With venues also in Cannon Park and Redcliffe, diners are transported to a world of wagon wheels, spurs, cacti and brass lanterns, while eyeing a mouth-watering menu from both sides of the border. Tuck into nachos to start, with a bed of crunchy corn chips, refried beans in ranchero salsa, jalapenos and cheese, garnished with pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. Don’t leave without trying the fajitas – a sizzling platter of marinated grilled meat, onion, capsicum and Texas BBQ sauce, ready to be wrapped in soft flour tortillas and dipped in guacamole and sour cream. A dessert must made to share, chocolate nachos are an ideal end to a Cactus meal.
