Highland House Restaurant

Enjoyable food, friendly and quick table service and fun atmosphere make this place a great spot to stop in for great Mexican.First of all, the TOGO chips and salsa are a MUST. Their "famous chip seasoning" is famous for a reason. It's addicting! I would have totally been happy just having these as my meal. Instead, I ordered the seemingly bottomless Fajita Bowl with steak. The bowl was huge with a fair amount of steak, although I would have liked a little bit more. There was plenty of rice and beans as the base, and the onions and peppers were a classic compliment. The entire dish was well seasoned and very tasty, making it just as good next day. This is a fun spot with sizeable menu options, even offering non-alcoholic choices. No doubt a local favorite and go-to.

Ordered a steak burrito, which was nothing but steak, which tasted "off", and tortilla. I was expecting a typical burrito that is stuffed with many different ingredients, they seemed to stop after putting the steak in. I actually sent it back, as I've tasted meat like that before and ended up with a very severe case of food poisoning. I'm not going to say this was spoiled meat, but it certainly didn't taste good. The tortilla chips and salsa were also just very average. The chips were coated in some kind of spice, which detracted from them, and the chips themselves were tough. This was my first and last time going here. I wish I could write a better review, but this was unfortunately not good.

I would have given them a 5 if we didn't wait forever at the hostess stand to be seated at our table and also when she sat us she crammed 8 people in a booth so there was no arm room to move. Other than that, our server JORDAN was on point. He was gracious and quick. I ordered a jalapeno margarita which was amazing. The chili lime quesadilla which was extremely delicious. They give you a lot of food. Their chips are seasoned and are some of the best I have had.

Cinco de Mayo with a friend was fun at Highland House. We kept it simple with margaritas and appetizers but the service was good and the food was fabulous. We decided at the last minute to do drinks and apps for dinner. My friend hadn't been to Highland House before so I treated as an early 81st birthday since I'll be out of town on her big day. I always take her out for margaritas on her birthday so I did it early this year!We really enjoyed the food and drinks. We had fun watching people and talking about our community events. It was a great last minute celebration! The food was plentiful -- we both had leftovers! She enjoyed the Trio with salsa instead of the ranch and I ordered wings. We shared the apps between us. I had a frozen mango margarita and she had a frozen raspberry one. They were YUMMY!We both want to come back and try the fajitas. She loves fajitas. I've never had one. I sure hope they're good. She is a tough one to please. We don't call her the, "Spicy Taco" for nothing! The Highland House better be ready!

We recently had a really nice time at Highland House! It was my first time visiting in ages, so I was excited to return. It was a last minute idea on a Friday night, so I was worried we might not get a table (four adults and three kids), but I forgot how massive this place is... so many tables! That being said, the place was super busy but we still got seated right away. I'm a big fan of their back patio. It's vast, and also really private, so it feels like you're in a little oasis back there. Especially with all of the colorful walls and chairs, the pergola-style overhangs, and fun music.We were quickly greeted by our very sweet server who grabbed us all waters, kids menus, and margaritas right away! For the kiddos, we ordered a quesadilla and chicken tenders right away for them to share. We wanted something to snack on ourselves, so our server recommended the dip trio - yum, just what we needed! Out came a basket of season tortilla chips paired with chunky guac, queso and a jalapeño ranch or sorts. It was a great app to have with the (massive) margaritas that came to the table. Let me tell ya, you get the bang for your buck with these, and they're so refreshing. Their food menu is massive, so I was having a tough time trying to decide. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, salads, sammies, burgers... you name it! Something about the fish tacos were speaking to me though so I went with with blackened Mahi Mahi. I have to admit, didn't love the fish itself. It was really pretty dry, so I was bummed! But loved the fresh avocado and cilantro-chipotle aioli on top. The plate came with plenty of other food on it, including a seasoned rice, nicely flavored corn, refried beans and cabbage. All of that had me satisfied!All in all, we'll no doubt return to this great north shore restaurant. It's great for families, a date night, or a meal with friends!

Came in honestly because there's not a lot of other options in the area, and I hadn't been in years. It was basically empty when we got there at 3, but was crowded at the bar when we left at 4:30pm. Our server checked in on us multiple times, and the food was quick. Definitely surprising that they don't give free chips & salsa like I remember them doing years ago. We instead ordered the dip trio-- queso, guac, and jalapeño ranch. The ranch felt really random.. is there no salsa in this place? The guac and queso were GREAT. My Nana just got a Caesar salad, you can see from the photo just how massive the portions are here. I ordered the Baja steak bowl and it was delicious. I enjoyed the combination of flavors like the pickled onions, corn salsa, and the avocado cream sauce. I ended up using the guac & jalapeño ranch from the app on top and it enhanced the taste even more. We both had leftovers and left feeling happy. This experience was more than I expected from them!

Date of visit: July 24, 2023It had been just over a year since our last visit to Highland House, which was the location for our rehearsal dinner. It was great to come back and have such a great meal--especially with just a couple of good friends instead of a giant group!Our server was very attentive and efficient, the food was out before we knew it--though good conversation can have that effect on you. I went with my usual ground beef quesadilla--it's always enough for two meals for me and warms up nicely for lunch the next day.While I wish the chips and salsa were free, they are always tasty and staff doesn't mind bringing you a second bowl because you hungrily wolfed down the first one in a matter of minutes! Love the new freeway ramp, makes it even easier to enjoy the great food here!

We had a really nice time here for my mom's birthday. All the food was tasty, nothing extra fancy or special, but was good!I got the veggie fajitas and my husband got a veggie burrito and both were delicious and so much food! We had plenty leftover for lunch.Overall good food for a great price.

A nice sized restaurant with a sizable menu full of appetizers and entrees. Our mid-afternoon visit was timely for some half price apps and a few drink discounts as well. The chicken lettuce wraps were super tasty and included a nicely spiced sauce. Our group went with Mexican entrees and I can definitely recommend the quesadillas, very tasty huge portions that included a box to take the leftovers home! The service was great and we will definitely be back.

First time I ever been to a Mexican Style restaurant and chips and salas wasn't complimentary. Granted it's only a couple of dollars, but still. I ordered the Buffalo Shrimp tacos and my parents ordered the Baja Steak Bowl. I would say the food was average. Nothing spectacular, but also not terrible. The service was good and the food came out quickly, but would I go back ? Maybe just for the margaritas.
