★★★★★ 5.0 Ed Jenkins · Aug 2018

We have eaten here the last two times we visited Highlands. The prices are fair and reasonable for the amount of food you get. And the food is truly delicious. It is freshly prepared with care and their goal is for you to be happy and have a satisfied dining experience. It was great the first time and even better the next time. I had chicken soft tacos along with retried beans and rice and cheese dip. Great salsa and sauces too. We will definitely be back.

We had an early lunch here on a Weds. It was not crowded and the server talked us through the order process. Very similar to a Chipotle, but with a wider variety of meats including blackened fish. The decor was very nice with a hiker hangout, outdoorsy feel. Three different salsas are in bottles on the tables as condiments. Chips are not free but a serving basket is plentiful. We had burritos. They were large and tasty. We love Highlands. 😍

This place is very good! Is similar to that of a chipotle, but since it is local I think it is better! Service is great and they are fast. Food is fresh and delicious and their burritos are a personal fav of mine.

Anytime we’re in town, this is one of our favorite lunch spots! Food is always fresh and served promptly.

Best Mexican in town. They have new owners and a new name in the past few years. Much is exactly the same. However, the pork is definitely better! They smoke the pork inhouse. It is a wonderful balance of rich pork and a light touch of clean smoke. Great with the brown hot sauce. Be sure to try the 3 house made hot sauces! The soup here is also very good! Guacamole, @last visit was a bit too salty for my taste but very good and balanced with some extra lime. Anytime I am in town we like to get in here for lunch. They have a full selection of beers, Mexican soda, and house made margaritas.
