Green Cactus Grill

Look for a neat stacked-stone facade as you travel down Jericho Turnpike, and do yourself a favor: stop in for a bite to eat. Eldest sibling of the Green Cactus family, this place has long been one of the area's top Mexican restaurants. What's behind the success? For starters, they use only fresh ingredients, and everything is cooked to order. How fresh can fresh be? Marinate in this: you won't find a single appliance in the place – not a freezer, not a microwave, not a can opener! Taste the results in a burrito, taco, or quesadilla, and be sure to order a side of guac – some things can't be missed.
