    We had a great time hanging out at Highland House on Cinco de Mayo. We came from Missing Links across the street where we warmed up our swing for the upcoming season. Highland House was an easy choice for Margarita’s and tacos.

    Our server messed up the order. It was corrected but for the second time. First was the wrong food then they brought out the correct food, but with beans. They had to do it a third time. Management could have picked up that meal.

    Glad we made reservations because the Highland House was packed! Good to see a restaurant doing so well. We got seated right away. Our waitress was pleasant, knowledgeable and speedy. Food and drinks were brought out quickly.

    This used to be one of our favorite places but recent changes we see as negative. I understand being unable to give the chips and salsa away - but why did you make the salsa so much more spicy than it was? I had steak and shrimp fajitas - but the tortillas were so small I had too much meat. My wife had chicken fajitas - and not enough meat. I don’t think we’ll be rushing back …

    Weird combinations! Pico contains cucumber but no jalapeño? Enchiladas had cheese and tomato not onion? “Caribbean” chicken sauce was franks red hot and pineapple juice? Chips and salsa served with ranch? Corn cakes- tasted like Johnny cake with way too much stuff added to the top that did not flow well together. Just in general overall weird combinations that did not work.

    We had burgers, spicy chicken sandwich, shrimp bowl and short rib tacos. All were delicious. We had very attentive service and the bar area is awesome.
