Let’s lunch

Face it, for most of us working stiffs, lunch must be fast and cheap. Several Lake Highlands spots fit the bill, and with good food to boot.

KAZY’S is hands-down the best find around for sushi lovers. For a low price, order rolls, sashimi and Japanese soups in the sit-down deli area of this Asian market (it’s where some of Dallas’ most exclusive restaurants get their fish and Asian ingredients, by the way). 9256 Marksville at LBJ

SHERLOCK’S is good for a fast lunch, inside or on the patio, into the after- noon hours — you can hardly go wrong with crispy fish and chips, and the mixed cocktails are $3. Not that we condone boozing it up at lunch. 9100 N. Central at Park

MEXICALI serves up dirt-cheap Tex-Mex dishes that don’t taste like it (dirt, that is). We’re talking sub-$5 enchilada platters that rival what you’ll find at a fancier, more atmospherically desirable location. Its off-the-radar status means a small lunchtime crowd and, in most cases, swift service. 1277 E. Northwest at Jupiter
