The Purple Cactus

Purple Cactus on Centre Street serves California-inspired burritos and wraps, with fillings that go well beyond rice and beans. Grilled chicken, steak, marinated tofu and shrimp appear across the menu. A Thai wrap adds vegetables and peanut sauce, while a portobello option combines mushrooms, spinach, goat cheese and brown rice.

Salads, quesadillas and nachos give you other ways to order, and the kitchen makes its salsa fresca and guacamole daily. The variety is particularly useful when some people want meat and others want a tofu or vegetable meal. This Jamaica Plain shop works for lunch or takeout dinner, with pickup and delivery available. Choose the filling first, then decide whether you want it wrapped up or served as a salad.
