Green Cactus Fresh Mexican Grl   

No can openers, no freezers, no microwaves -- what type of kitchen is this, anyway? It's the culinary home base of Green Cactus Mexican Grill, and it's missing all those usually vital appliances because there's just no need for them. Everything in this Mexican eatery is fresh and made to order, so you won't have to worry about being served day-old pintos or sampling freeze-dried steak strips. Instead, salsa and beans are made daily (without lard, another no-no on the Green Cactus list), the steak is charbroiled and the chicken is boneless, skinless and marinated. Even the chips are made in cholesterol-free canola oil. Freshness aside, the food is standard Mexican fare, with a healthy variety of burritos (try the "two-fisted" version if you're really ravenous), quesadillas, tostadas, nachos and tacos. There could be a little more ole in the atmosphere (it's nothing more than a fast-food joint with the smell of guac in the air), but if you've been longing for fresh, Ixtapa-style eats that Taco Bell just can't rival, then Green Cactus is a healthy alternative.
