Cactus Taqueria #4 - Sherman Oaks

The food is quite good, although the prices have increased. I still enjoy it.

The burritos and other Mexican dishes used to be excellent, but now they’re just mediocre and overpriced.

The service was quick and the prices were low ($2.90 per taco), so I didn't have high expectations for the quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and substantial they were! I even compared their tacos to those from a nearby competitor, and it wasn't even close. Cactus Taqueria #4 is definitely number one!

Nice, local place, very casual. A great place to come sit down if you've had a long day, or don't feel like cooking, or even if you just want a quick beer and to watch sports on TV. Tacos and burritos are both a good size, and there's a decent selection of drinks. Are they the best tacos you've ever had? Probably not, there are any number of street taco places a mile or two away that have better food. But there's parking here, and indoor seating; they serve beer, and aren't stingy with extras. Service is fast, and you can even call ahead with your order if you don't like waiting in lines. And they're open late. There's even a special where if you get a burrito, for a buck more you can get a small (7oz) beer.

Fish and grilled shrimp tacos are good. Avoid the California burrito fries are weird, and no veggies.
