Review by Kyler Jones

HiWay Cantina is a delightful Tex-Mex spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe! 🌟

Their queso with ground beef is a must-try - absolutely delicious! The Mixed Grill Combo was hearty, but the charro beans stole the show; they were incredible! My partner raved about the fish tacos, and the shrimp enchiladas were a nice touch.

Service was friendly and attentive, making for a relaxed dining experience.

Street parking is a bit tricky, but it’s well worth it for the laid-back atmosphere and tasty food. Can’t wait to go back! 🎉
