    The three stars are because the people were quite nice, but overall I really didn't like my meal. I ordered the two tacos -- one chicken and one beef -- without scallions. When I got my order they gave me two beef tacos, but they quickly corrected that once I pointed it out. The refried beans were lukewarm -- I gave them to my husband -- and the rice was just okay. The chicken taco was better than the beef one. The ground meat was so macerated that it had no flavor. I didn't even want to take the extra free taco home. I'm glad we tried them again and now I know. As I said the first time, I might have liked them only with a couple margaritas under my belt.

    Okay, so first off -- the food here really is very yummy, and the portions are definitely on the bigger side. No complaints there. It's a nice spot to bring family or friends, and we did have a good time overall. My daughter even got a virgin margarita (don't worry -- virgin, of course), and she looked absolutely adorable in the picture I took. It was a cute moment and honestly one of the highlights. Also, the atmosphere got a little noisy, which made it hard to fully relax and enjoy the meal. Nothing terrible, just things I notice.

    FRAUD!! Beware!!! They are scamming customers. After an average meal, I received a bill that stated 3.2% credit card fee yet I was charged over 6% for the credit card fee on the bill. Who knows how long this has been going on. This is fraud!

    As I was waiting for my car to be serviced, I decided to stop at Baha Cafe for lunch. The staff were very friendly, stopping by to ask how everything was. I ordered the Gator Tacos and a side of Queso. The tacos had a kick to them, some spice in the sauce. The ambiance was very Mexican and the windows had art work on them which blocked out the light, it was dark inside. The bar area is very small. I feel a remodel of the interior would lighten up the inside. There are parking spots to the front and side.

    I had to dowse it with hot sauce to get some kind of flavor... ugh

    Ohh what a disappointment! I have eaten here with friends several times over the past 8 years and hadn't been in at least a year. My hubs and I went on a Saturday night. The service was pretty bad. They were busy but no waiting line. The Salsa tasted like something out of a jar. Very ketchupy. The chips were stale and not hot. The food was gawd awful.. they used to make a shredded beef taco in a handmade crispy corn taco shell. They sent out two shredded shoe leather tacos in a premade hard shell. The meat was tasteless and the shells were worse. The beans had no flavor, tasted like they were out of a can and the rice tasted previous frozen. To say the least, it's not Mexican food. Not much different than Taco Bell but pricier. Done.

    Another favorite restaurant of mine in south Florida! Fortunately, it was not busy for a table of 4 on a Saturday night. All dishes are served with complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa is mild, but full of flavors. Server was kind and patient. I ordered a Tostada Grande (with ground beef) and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was mixed together perfectly. Restaurant is very colorfully decorated. A great spot if you're looking for affordable Mexican food!

    Cheese quesadillas!! Yum

    What a treat! Our first time here & we were greeted so warmly and with such genuine hospitality I always gauge my meal by the salsa ...and the warm chips & delicious salsa get 10 stars! They have salsa verde too for $2.29 yet I didn't know there was a charge for that until I received the bill. Our lunch was delicious and we ate everything!! Look forward to our return...many times in the future!

I ordered the ceviche and the mushroom taco. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, though it was served inside half a pineapple, which I found a bit impractical and, in my opinion, an unnecessary waste of food. The mushroom taco was the only disappointment, as it lacked flavor and the mushrooms tasted more like canned than fresh. Fortunately, the rest of our group was very pleased with their meals. Overall, the restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere, good service, and very reasonable prices, making it a nice option for a relaxed meal near the beach.

    Hands down, some of the best authentic Mexican tacos I've ever had!…read more I stopped in for lunch at Habaneros Mexican Taqueria in Pompano Beach and was absolutely blown away. This place is the real deal. The tacos are cooked to order, so yes--it takes a little time. But wow, is it worth the wait. I had two tacos: asada and carnitas. Both came out hot off the grill with generous, juicy portions of perfectly seasoned meat. The flavors were rich and fresh, and the texture was spot-on. What really set them apart, though, were the homemade corn tortillas--warm, slightly chewy, and clearly made in-house with care. Just fantastic. I skipped the cilantro (not my thing), but the freshly diced onions added a nice crunchy contrast. And the salsas--oh man. They brought out two squeeze bottles, one red and one green. The green salsa was my favorite: cold, zesty, just the right amount of heat (about 5/10), and full of flavor and texture. The red salsa had a deeper kick and great flavor too--definitely not shy on the spice. A final squeeze of the lime wedge brought everything together perfectly. If you're in the area and love tacos, this spot is a must. I'm already planning my next visit.

I appreciated the lady telling me to get that since its much bigger than the tacos. The food was high quality and the tortillas are made there which is incredible!

    Tijuana Taxi Co is right around the corner from us, so it's usually our go to spot when we want…read moresomething quick and easy. We are typically seated right away, and the chips and salsa arrive almost immediately. One thing that has changed recently is their chips and salsa policy. They used to provide additional chips and salsa at no charge, but now they charge for refills. I believe it was around $3 for an extra order, which feels a little excessive. Our favorite menu item is the fajitas for two, with half chicken and half steak. It comes with six taco shells, a sizzling skillet loaded with meat, peppers, and onions, plus a plate of lettuce, pico, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything is super flavorful, and it's always more than enough food for us. I also like adding the table salsa to my tacos, although I'll probably do that less often now that extra salsa comes with an added charge. The service is consistently good and attentive, and we're usually in and out without any long wait. While I'm not a fan of the new chips and salsa charge, the food, convenience, and service keep us coming back. Overall, it's a reliable spot that we enjoy visiting.

    I'm very disappointed with how my recent visit to Tijuana Taxi on Federal Highway in Deerfield…read moreBeach was handled. About a week ago, I stopped in to ask whether they would consider donating a raffle item for Chiari's Little Warriors and our upcoming Walk for Chiari. I spoke with one of the gentleman managers, who was extremely kind and supportive. Tijuana Taxi has helped us in the past, and he immediately said they could do something again this year. Their machine was down, so he asked me to come back. I returned yesterday because I had specifically been asked to do so. When I came back, I spoke with the office manager, and I found the way she spoke to me to be very rude and upsetting. I was even more disappointed to learn that she later told the gentleman manager that I had been rude and was demanding gift cards. That is not what happened. I was simply explaining that I had returned because I had been asked to come back regarding a donation that had already been offered. I completely understand that no business is ever obligated to donate, and I would never demand a donation from anyone. If they had changed their mind, I would have respected that. My disappointment is entirely with how I was treated and how the interaction was later described. I do want to make clear that the gentleman manager I originally spoke with was wonderful, kind, and gracious. Unfortunately, the way my return visit was handled left me feeling very disappointed.
