Latin American Restaurants near Hightstown

“Stopped by for lunch and ordered the shrimp tacos that were on special to find out this place serves authentic and excellent food. The pico de gallo was freshly made and the guac was equally good. I recommend giving them a try when you’re near or in town.“

“The experience was 5 stars. I came here after a recommendation from someone in town. I asked for good breakfast. I was surprised by this little hole in the wall in a strip mall. The food was excellent and the service was great. I appreciate the nice waitress who took my order. The juice was fresh. The place was quiet and not the prettiest decorated but the character helped it's authenticity. The food was great, flavorful, and in abundance. the prices are very reasonable and bathroom was super clean. Would definitely come back. Great for small groups of 5-12 ppl. Enjoy!“

“We split the beef stew entree and two tamales. The entree came with rice and beans and three plantain pieces. The beef was incredibly tender, clearly had been stewed all day in the delicious sauce. Very generous portions - one entree was plenty for the two of us. We brought it to the Old Hights Brewery to enjoy with their beer. Sooooooooooo good!!!“

“I have eaten their tres leches cake & strawberry cake & both were so moist & delicious. I like how the frosting is very lightly sweet. The only thing is I do wish the tres leches cakes was just a bit sweeter. Otherwise will definitely go again! (Very well priced as well)“

“A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.“

“I WANTED TO SPEND ALL MY $$$ & BUT 80% OF THE ITEMS IN THEY'RE HOT-CASE...I WAS ABLE TO SAMPLE THE LIQUID OF THEY'RE BEEF-SOUP & THIS CHIX-IN-CREAM-SAUCE ITEM & BOTH WERE VERY TASTY...I WAS THE LAST CUSTOMER & NOTICED THAT A LOT OF THE SOUP & THE CHIX/CREAM WAS LEFT IN THE PANS...I'D COMBINE THOSE 2-ITEMS, GIVE IT A FANCY NAME & HAVE IT ON THE MENU & IN THE HOT-CASE TO SELL DAILY...THEY'RE NEW EMPLOYEE WAS GREAT, SHE'LL BE A PLEASANT ADDITION TO THE STAFF. -TDR-“

“The food here is decent. It’s never super packed when I’ve gone. I’ve been here about 3 times. The pina colada, jerk wings, and the yucca mozzarella cheese sticks/fries are my favorite things to get. This time around I also tried the paella. It was tasty but I’d prefer another type of rice. Overall, a nice restaurant that’s not super expensive.“
