1 star for being a divey diner with duct taped booths
1 star for the tube tv being on the a show called "Gun Talk" and a friendly waiter
Ambiance can only hold so many stars.
When it came to the food and food quality for what was being paid for...a big dry disappointment.
I ordered a combo platter (#11) with chicken.
And it saddens me when I say it was hard to eat it. Just...blah. Like it was cooked much earlier in the day and dried out until I ordered it.
Others at my table had equal or slightly better experiences.
Luckily Highwood has  many other options I'll take a gander at next time.
Pity, too, because I love Mexican food.
Came here Saturday night during the Highwood Pumpkin Fest. Â We sat outside (not a great idea because of the weather) but it was a great idea because we got very prompt service and we got to see the dogs walking by in their costumes from the Pet Costume Contest. Â Every 3 minutes or so I looked over my shoulder after hearing Ashley go "Ohhh!! Awww!!"
I had the chicken tacos dinner, Ashley had the chicken burritos dinner. Â Both were delicious. Â The salsa and chips starter is great; very hot free salsa is a wonderful thing.
The service was great and so was the food. Â There are other, closer Mexican restaurants that I like, but if I'm in Highwood and want Mexican food, I will be sure to go there again!
