They do serve you chips and salsa, first basket is free after it's a Charge. The salsa was good, but is spicy! They have so many options to choose from. I ordered the combination plate two items. Two chicken tacos. The tacos were okay. Tasted a little dry. My husband got the two item as well. Got the chicken enchilada and beef taquitos, which was pretty good. The rice and beans were really good.

That's a one item combo. One of many ways. You can get it. Big portions right here.

Today my husband and I came back to Fuego Cravings ( we went on Friday too for the first time)…read more because we just couldn't get through the weekend without a buirria taco and a campechano taco, one to eat there and one to go for lunch tomorrow . We've eaten a lot of Burria around California and Fuegos is ON POINT! Tender, juicy, with flavor richer than any we've tried! The consome they give you for dipping on the side is more than plenty, so rich and delicious. Best way to enjoy is to get the 2 taco birria with rice (yum) and beans with a drink all for one price. Today we met Maria who took our order and spoke with us about the food. I also am taken back by the the friendly and attentive service we have received both times. I could see how proud Maria was when she was talking about making the various dishes. All made with love and it comes through in the taste of the food. I know I sound like a broken record but I just can't believe we have this restaurant in our local area and haven't crossed its path until now. I'm glad we did though better late than never. I highly recommend Fuego Cravings Highland to even the most critical Mexican foodie.

Hubby was going to order some food to-go until he saw a mandatory service fee is added to everyone's check. "For What"?

Like I get prices are high everywhere but we refuse to pay service fees for nothing. I could see if we were going to dine in and we we're a party of 5-6 or more...but charging these types of fees for nothing. Is no bueno!

Mexican restaurants in the area are a dime a dozen but this place just stands out! I ordered a combo (taco/enchilada/relleno) and everything was AMAZING!! The taco was perfectly crisp and not rubbery, the enchilada and relleno were so steamy and moist. Even the refried beans were perfect. Not too salty, which I find is a common problem. Everything tasted freshly made... not out of a freezer. The absolute best thing about the food was the salsas. OMG!! The house salsa was delicious. The perfect portions of tomatoes, jalapeño, onion and cilantro. Habanero salsa is usually so hot, it's not worth the trouble but theirs was toned down with roasted tomatoes, which made it really delicious and perfect. I don't even usually like tomatillo salsa, because I find it too limey and acidic. Theirs was made with garlic or something, which toned it down. It was so good, I ended up buying a whole pint of it to go! The restaurant itself was spotless. When a restroom isn't clean it makes me wonder what the kitchen is like. Service was very friendly and attentive, without being too attentive, which can interrupt your meal too much. Anyway, sorry for rambling but I can't say enough about this place! GO! :D read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pancho's Mexican Restaurant in Highland, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The food was seriously delicious--definitely some of the best I've had in a while. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the menudo was incredibly flavorful; I could taste the care and tradition in every bite. I also enjoyed a refreshing Michelada that complemented the meal perfectly. One thing I appreciated about the restaurant is its cozy atmosphere; it may be small, but it's absolutely worth the wait. However, I do wish the salsa had a little more spice. It had a watery pico de gallo consistency that wasn't my favorite, and I would love to see some options that pack a bit more heat. The restaurant does get busy, so be prepared for a little wait after being seated before the staff comes to take drink orders. But trust me, the experience is worth it. I will definitely be bookmarking Pancho's for future visits! Highly recommend checking it out! read more

After seeing so many great reviews, we decided it was finally time to check it out--and now we're happy to add another one. The restaurant has a fun, colorful atmosphere with a modern, stylish vibe that makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, and both were fresh and delicious. I ordered the Mojarra Frita (fried tilapia) and asked for it extra crispy. That's why it's cut the way it is--it allows the fish to get nice and crispy all over. If you like your mojarra extra crispy, definitely ask for it this way. They were happy to accommodate, and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. My husband ordered one of the combo plates, and he really enjoyed his meal as well. The service was excellent. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We're glad we finally gave Cocina 85 a try, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Luckily this place was just conveniently across the street! Boom!lol The rice and beans were solid, the salsa was fresh with the perfect kick, and those warm chips disappeared fast. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tasted homemade. Honestly tho, the decor alone makes this place worth the visit. Every wall is photo-worthy and full of personality without feeling gimmicky. It gives cool neighborhood gem energy and fun welcoming, colorful, and memorable sayings. lol IYKYK! Perfect for a laid-back late breakfast or lunch when you want good food and a place with actual character instead of another boring chain spot. Will absolutely be back. Love supporting small businesses!

COCKROACH Believe me!…read more Never thought it would happen to me. First, the host took long and never brought the menu. The waiter brought it, okay. The host brought the tortilla chips. I found a hair in the chips. It was underneath some chips and the rest sticking out. Okay, a hair, asked for new chips from the host since he was passing by and brought the first. I asked for some fresh ones and told him there was a hair in it. Didn't say anything but looked at the chips to see what I was talking about. I got through part of my burrito and felt something oddly crunchy. I was like, wtf, I took it out of my mouth and it was dark and flaky. Part of it looked red and part just too dark. Since I saw what was reddish, I thought it was a roasted pepper , that didn't seem right though. I thought I was a pepper, kept eating. Had some a third of the burrito left and was getting ready to ask for a box. As the waiter was passing, I started looking at the crunchy thing I took out of my mouth and took a closer look. It became more apparent that it was a ROACH . Yes, I unfortunately ate part of it if not most of it. I had been there a few times and never had an issue. I was still in disbelief but asked him what it was. I placed it in his hand. He said it looked like shrimp, that it turns dark when it's cooked, but it still shouldn't be there he said. I was just tripping on it and was like, no, but then was like it has to be. What else could it be? There's no way shrimp gets like that, I don't eat shrimp. I don't know what it turns out looking like... They didn't charge me for the meal. Marco's first reaction though when I told him was like ugh, you're going to put me through this and went off looking back at me. Yes, I put him through it. His service was mediocre but still gave him a decent tip. You tell me what it looks like. I was nauseous and disgusted all night and to this day. UNBELIEVABLE!
