The Purple Cactus
The Purple Cactus serves California-style burritos, wraps, and salads with a Southwestern flair and emphasizes quick counter service. The tofu burrito and veggie taco salad can be made vegan by omitting cheese, while guacamole is a popular vegan add-on despite a small extra cost. The venue is praised for fresh vegetables and generous portions, though some recent reviews note inconsistency in portion sizes and missing ingredients during takeout orders.
