Pollito Asadito & Casero with Chicharrón Prensado- so good!
Lynn O.

Highway Taco is a really cool taco shop set up along Hwy 246 like a food truck, but in an Airstream trailer with tables set up in front. You can smell all the delicious meat being grilled as soon as you pull up. They have some specialty tacos that include guacamole, queso fresco and crema that typical street tacos don't include. I tried the Pollito Asadito ($5) with chicken, queso fresco, pico de gallo, crema, guacamole, cilantro, onion and salsa. Bomb! I also got the Casero with flour tortilla, chicharrón prensado, beans, pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole and salsa. The chicharrón prensado is uniquely made here and flavorful, like chorizo. Their corn tortillas are made in house and are so fluffy! Their salsas are so good too! I loved the creamy orange one, which may have been made with pepitas (pumpkin seeds). Shared al pastor nachos with my friends and it was loaded with cheese, guac, beans, pico de gallo, crema and queso fresco. The al pastor was pretty fatty and chewy. My friends liked the street tacos, 3 for $10! They also liked the Calabazita, the zucchini tacos with jalapeño, onion and queso fresco. The orders came out quick too. Highway Taco served as a great pit stop between Solvang and our stay in Santa Ynez!

We were staying at a near by Airbnb and decided to give Highway Tacos a try based on the Yelp reviews. It was only a few minutes away and when we arrived, the location gave a movie scene backdrop vibe, with string lights and the classic airstream taco truck. We were extremely satisfied with the tacos. Not only were the tacos super tasty but the tortillas were freshly made and the carne asada was yummy. We tried all the salsas and they were all very satisfying with a kick. The owner was very attentive, friendly and eager to make sure our food was perfect. Don't hesitate to give them a try if you're in the area!

Food, service and ambiance all solid and met expectations. It's been a while since a taco truck caught my eye, and highway taco's managed to do it with their airstream taco trailer, nice touch! Do not be deceived this place is located at a spot where you're either hauling to get in or out of town, so take a moment and stop for a homemade tortilla taco with plenty of meat.

side of rice

overall really good, best tacos in the valley. I mostly order to go so if you're like me and you are looking at pictures before you order from somewhere to make sure it looks good, just be warned that if you order their side of rice, which is $4, this is what you are getting it is MAYBE 4 bites worth. place is definitely pricey for what you are getting, generally speaking for the menu.

Tacos and burrito
Norma S.

Really good tacos and burritos definitely recommend the meat was really flavorful not dry at all and home made tortillas can't get any better than that. Delicious!

Their tacos are so good and filling! We were visiting Solvang and came across Highway Tacos on Yelp. We were going to have our dinner here but I decided to go to a sit down restaurant instead... (regretfully, it was expensive and not satisfying.. but that's for another review) We decided to come by the next day and thankfully we did! We got their chips and guac, 2 orders of their 3 for $10 tacos and 2 mulitas. All of them were so good and we left stuffed! (It was me, my husband and our child). I believe their tortillas are handmade, so their chips are even better than most Mexican places I've been to! Sooo good. Decent prices as well! Definitely recommend them if you are in Solvang.

We just kind of stumbled upon Pony Kitchen but what a happy accident, I think this was my favorite…read moremeal of our trip We were seated at a cozy outdoor table and service was personal and attentive. My husband and I both got the three course, prix fixe menu and were very pleased with our decision. The meal started with a hearts of romaine salad that was a perfect medley of tastes and textures and just the right size. Next up was steak frites - the best steak I've had in a long time and the shoestring fries were perfectly cooked and savory delicious. The meal ended with a slice of olive oil cake topped with mascarpone crema and blueberry compote. Outstanding meal from start to finish.

My fiancée ordered her steak well-done. I get it--an unpopular choice. But she doesn't order her steak well-done because she thinks it tastes better; she orders her steak well-done because she's squeamish and the red color freaks her out. When the steaks arrived, they were both medium rare. I called our waitress over and asked if they could cook my fiancée's steak a little more. She was apologetic and took the steak back. A few minutes later, my fiancée's steak returned...still medium rare. The kitchen had not cooked the steak more. My fiancée tried her best to eat it, but it made her feel pretty bad. While she was in the restroom, I asked our waitress what happened. She said she was very sorry, but the kitchen doesn't really "do" well-done steaks. Uh....why not? The thought that the kitchen was unwilling to cook my fiancée's steak more is utterly ludicrous. The restaurant business is a SERVICE industry. The object is making your diners happy, not maintaining your sense of dignity by refusing to cook my fiancée's steak to a temperature she's comfortable with. So, thanks to the kitchen's high-and-mighty attitude, my fiancée went home hungry. Unbelievable.

The filet was phenomenal -- honestly one of the top three filets I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive, and the Mud Pie for dessert was absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way -- rich, indulgent, and unforgettable. We went on Sunday night, the day after Valentine's Day, and the place was packed (good thing they take reservations). We'd had an unfortunate experience the night before at a different local restaurant, but despite the crowd, we were seated right away at a great table. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance: relaxed but upscale, with a retro country steakhouse vibe that feels both classic and comfortable. The staff was outstanding -- attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We also enjoyed a fantastic local cab from Brave & Maiden that paired beautifully with the steak. From start to finish, it was a perfect evening. This place absolutely lives up to its reputation.

The positive first: walking in everybody was super friendly and greeted us with a smile, and sat us down right away on the patio since we had our dog with us. We ordered the baked brie appetizer and two glasses of red wine. My husband had the Austin Hope Cab and I had a red blend. I don't remember the brand name. It was a little bit expensive for a glass of wine. I wanna say around $25 but we both were in the mood for a good wine and wanted to treat ourselves. The baked Brie was delicious. Negative: the fish and chips and the service. I was so excited to see fish and chips on the menu because it was halibut. I'm used to cod in fish and chips so of course I had to order since I am a huge halibut lover. The table next to us also said what an amazing meal that was and ordered one to go. We received our fish and chips from not our server and the person dropped the meal and left without asking us if we needed anything. My husband and I looked at the fish and chips and immediately started laughing. It looked like little fish nuggets as opposed to fish! I kind of thought we were being punked. We waited and waited for the server to come by or a manager or some thing and could not get anybody to come talk to us. It took 14 minutes for her to finally come tap on our table and ask if everything was OK. We told her it was not OK and to look at the size of the fish and she said she would go tell the kitchen and asked if we wanted to remake it. At that point, we weren't even hungry anymore. We were just kind of annoyed at the entire situation. She comes back out a few minutes later and says we're going to take it off of your bill. We don't see her for a while and then the manager comes over and says we took it off of your bill. He didn't ask if there's any way to make it right he just said OK anyways and walked away at the end. Being in the restaurant industry for many years, I thought this was pretty offensive. If I were him, I probably would have made another one right away or offered something they are known for like their pizza. So overall, I wouldn't be back. I think there's many other restaurants around there and to be treated like that after how we were served....no thank you!
