Purple Cactus
About
The Purple Cactus is a counter-service wrap house in Jamaica Plain serving California-inspired burritos, wraps, salads, quesadillas, soups and nachos in a Southwestern-style space. Fillings include fire-grilled chicken breast, lean marinated steak, poached shrimp and fresh vegetables, and the guacamole and salsa fresca are made fresh every day. One customer review names the Santa Fe Chicken salad and the Mango Mama smoothie as favorites, and the shop is an easy stop for a quick meal.
The first Purple Cactus opened in Provincetown in June 1993 with just three burritos on the menu: rice and bean, grilled chicken and grilled steak, served with chips, guacamole and salsa. The menu has expanded considerably over nearly 30 years. The Jamaica Plain shop sits near the Green Street stop on the Orange Line, within easy reach for neighborhood residents and riders on the line.
