El Vecino is a lively Lake Highlands gem serving up flavorful Tex-Mex classics—from zesty enchiladas to crunchy tacos—paired with fabulous margaritas.
"Most nights this colorful Tex-Mex restaurant is packed the gills with folks from the neighborhood chowing down on enchiladas, fajitas, and combo plates. Real ones know that it’s added breakfast items to the all-day menu and serves a mean bowl of marinated chicken, black beans, and rice at lunch." - Courtney E. Smith
"This unpretentious Tex Mex spot in Lake Highlands offers a colorful setting that’s great for families, groups, and those who need a good spot for an Instagram shot. The menu is loaded with every classic Tex-Mex dish and the prices are right, especially for nights no one wants to cook. Beware the green salsa that comes with your chips though — it packs an adults-only punch." - Courtney E. Smith
