| - Step inside this restaurant and you'll forget that your still in Highland creek. Dark hardwood floors, terra cotta walls, dark wood tables adored with candlelight and tropical plants make you feel like your on vacation.
Upon entering a waiter kindly takes us to a table in the back corner. Soccer is playing on the tvs above the large bar in the back and projected on the wall on the opposite side. Corn chips and salsa are already waiting on the table for us to dig into. The waiter explains to us the three different salsas: one sweet which is made with pineapple and a mild and a hot one.
He then brings us some water filled in an old tequila bottle and explains that the menus are tapas style and recommends we order a few dishes between us and shows us the specials written on chalkboards on the wall.
This is what we decide on ordering:
Taco de carne Asada -Seared rib-eye chimichurri
Tender pieces of grilled steak with salsa and a mound of chimichurri on top all sitting beneath two small tortillas
There was ample toppings so we split it between the two tortillas to make two small tacos
Carnitas - Braised slow cooked pork, cilantro onions, salsa verde
The pork was really juicy and tender as well with crunchy pickled red cabbage was a nice contrast to the meat
Again ample meat and toppings was perfect to split between the two underlying soft tortillas
Burrito De Pollo - Grilled Chicken, Pinto beans, rice, guaca, sour cream
Juicy full of meat and toppings really loved the burrito especially the drizzling of mole on top - I really could of used more of it! The burrito also came with a nice little refreshing salad accompanying it.
After consuming these 3 dishes I have to be honest we were both still a bit hungry. The tacos and burrito are the small side so we decided to order one of the specials
Pollo Loco -Seared Chicken Breast in a Jalapeño Queso fresco sauce
The dish came with two juicy but small chicken breasts sitting on a mound of peas and rice with sauteed peppers and cabbage. The jalepno queso fresco sauce was delicious but was not the least bit hot more sweet and creamy but I did enjoy it none the less.
Finally for dessert we couldn't resist but to order the churros. Two small churros came piping hot and crispy covered in cinnamon sugar were a perfect ending to our Mexican meal. Oh and coffee here is great!
Overall I have to say service wise everything was perfect, our waiter consistently checked up on us, refilled drinks, and was very friendly. The food was very fresh and came out fast. However I won't lie the portions are sort of on the small side and I was also expecting a little bit more heat/spice but I'm sure had I asked for it they probably could of made it more spicy for my liking. However for a place like this in this neck of the woods the ambiance can't be beat.
