    Enchiladas Rancheras and Milanesa Torta

    The best, authentic Mexican food in the Highlands from two Dominicans visiting from Atlanta. Service was great!

    Steak burrito
    Marc T.

    Had a quick lunch here. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Enjoyable experience and worth a stop if you want Mexican food. Overall food is decent Mexican food. Good chips and queso, and tasty do eques. Our group had a steak burrito, carnitas, enchiladas rancheros, and stead taco. Everyone was happy with their orders.

    Chicken quesadilla

    We ordered a chicken quesadilla to go. It was only $8 and they gave free chips and salsa. The service was quick and friendly. Quesadilla was okay- lots of chicke but not enough cheese.

    Pina Vaqueros

    Guacamole is really good. We had the Pina Vaquero and the Pollo Fundido. Both were excellent. Highly recommend if you are in Highlands, NC

    Food was very good; chicken soup and carne azada suprema. Freshly made salsa. Service did not stack up with the food but wouldn't let that prevent anyone from trying. Will go back.

    This place doesn't look like much but a good spot to get a meal in the highlands. It's got an extensive menu with almost 50+ dishes. The place closes at 9. Pm but they seated us as late as 8.45. Food arrived quick and all of us were happy with it. I tried the Hawaiian fajita (chicken, chorizo and pineapple). It had minimal pineapple and maybe needed a touch more salt. It tasted better with limes and hot salsa The tacos (chicken)are big and so are the burritos. (Steak) check this place out. It's casual and can't go wrong with the choices.

    Going here was a last-minute decision; and I'm so glad we went. The food was delicious, and the service excellent, and the prices were super reasonable. Highlights: Ceviche, amazing. Very fresh, light and bright. House-made salsa, also outstanding. Fish tacos, huge and perfect. Sadness: my poor tummy ran out of room. No reports on the desserts this time, we simply couldn't. Hopefully next time though!

    Steak and shrimp fajita quesadilla

    I got the panchero special with shrimp and my husband got the steak and shrimp fajita quesadilla. The shrimp on mine were tender and juicy, really good flavor but I wish it came with something fresh like lettuce, sour cream or pico to cut through all the beans and rice. Still very good! My husband wasn't sure his quesadilla would be filling enough but we both were shocked by the size of this thing! It was literally as wide as him. Never seen a quesadilla that large. It was so rich and delicious and came with lettuce, small scoop of guac, sour cream and pico. If you sit on the deck all the way to the left (if you're facing the restaurant from the outside) you can get a view of the waterfall!

    Worst steak chimichanga I've ever had. Deep fried to the point of being a solid block of wheat
