We're in town from Philly for a wedding, and this place and staff were amazing! They embody what we've always heard about with southern hospitality. Kayla even went out of her way to indulge me on a very odd request to borrow one of the most amazing hats I've ever seen that will match perfectly with my suit that I'm wearing to a wedding this evening. Long story short aside from the amazing food a drinks here their hospitality was above and beyond, I'd recommend this place to anyone who comes to Highland NC. Oh almost forgot my wife loves quesadillas and she said there were hands down the best ones she's ever had. We even ordered some Togo to have after we get back from the wedding.

This restaurant was such a wonderful experience. From the delicious fresh food to the amazing service. The manager I believe her name was, Kayla, if I remember correctly, was the ultimate best. We are so happy we found such a great find. I can’t say enough great things about this place. I had the Limoncello mojito and the green apple margarita, and both were divine. We will be coming back again and again. Many Thanks from Lily, Ally, and Antonio.

Atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, the waiters were very fast and excellent. As soon as you sit down they hand you fresh hot chips and a very sweet and tangy salsa (which was amazing) and they then gave me a bowl of guacamole which was just as good. I Ordered a chimichanga and flan later after, and let me tell you. The chimichanga tasted as if they cooked everything individually then added it all together to make a fresh and mouthwatering beast of a chimichanga. Then flan afterwards was taken out of a fridge from the front and brought to the back and not long after they brought it out and looked as of it was homemade. The first to the last bite of the flan was absolutely fantastic and it really shows how much they care about the consumers experience. Highly recommend coming here as much as you can. (Drinks were great too)

BY FAR THE BEST Mexican food we have had in the United States and Mexico! We travel a lot and we have never had better Mexican food. Enrique who created the menu knows authentic Mexican and you can taste the difference.

They food was the worst. The service was good. But the food was very expensive and not cooked properly raw. I don't recommend it. The food presentation was poor.

Awesome food, great service, and a great atmosphere! Allow our food tasted great and authentic. We definitely recommend if you're in the area!

We were looking for a good Mexican restaurant near our new home in northeast Georgia. After a disappointment or two, we decided to drive the 10 miles to Highlands, NC to give Rainforest a try. The menu, food and margaritas more than met our high expectations and we look forward to returning soon and often.

Don't bother coming here. For starters our service was terrible, the waitress didn't speak English which helped make this trip bad. I ordered chicken fajitas with no guacamole and no Pico, I substituted rice and beans for French fries. Kids got chicken tenders, taco, and chicken quesadilla. All 3 kids never got a refill or asked, the chicken "tenders" was a fried chicken breast which was then cut, the quesadilla were dripping so much oil she couldn't eat it. I got my pink colored chicken fajitas (was not undercooked, just pink In color) they were ok...my side plate had rice, beans, guacamole, Pico all combined together. I waited almost 10 minutes until another waitress came and asked if we needed anything. She brought me a new side plate without the stuff I didn't want. I never got a plate to make my fajitas so I used a napkin, nobody cared. When it came time to pay I was charged an extra side plate and charged for a side of fries. I would NEVER come back here, staff could care less about their customers
