About Us
Our Story
HWY1 is a fast-casual destination for fresh, Baja-inspired food that captures the rugged spirit of Mexico’s Highway 1. We serve bold bowls, burritos, and nachos in a space that evokes dusty roadside stops, vintage signs, and the freedom of the open road.
Our Philosophy
We believe good food should be bold, bright, and built with purpose. At HWY1, that means sourcing fresh ingredients, celebrating vibrant flavors, and giving you the freedom to make every meal your own. No fluff, no fuss—just craveable, quality food made fast and served with a side of laid-back energy.
Visit Us
You’ll find us right in the heart of Madison’s Monroe Street neighborhood—just down the road from the UW Arboretum and Camp Randall. Whether you’re a local, a student, or just cruising through, HWY1 is your spot for fast, fresh food in one of Madison’s most walkable, welcoming neighborhoods. Parking is available in both Knickerbocker Place parking lots, or there's plenty of street parking, too.
