    12.50 quesadilla rellena
    VI P.

    I use to like this place but it has severely gone down hill. After a few months hiatus after the last debacle where our food was ice cold and they forced me to return there in the middle of an ice storm, I finally decided to return thinking that perhaps that was just an off night. I decided to order the quesadilla to go and let me tell you I'm not impressed. The size of the quesadilla for 12.50 is ridiculous. Additionally, they didn't include neither the sour cream, lettuce, tomato, nor the rice! I will not be returning to this establishment anymore.

    It is a different Mexican Restaurant now called El Meson. Great food! Loved the tortillas! Homemade for sure! Rams and rice are fantastic! Tostada was amazing! All I needed was a Margarita!

    My mexican tastes have usually only gone as far as Taco Bell and my homemade tacos, so I was leery to try authentic.

My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

What really bothered me was the surprise 3.5% surcharge they add if you pay with a card. That includes debit cards too. I didn't see any signs about it and wasn't told until the check came. At that point, I didn't have cash, so I had no choice. For anyone wondering, surcharges on debit cards aren't allowed under Visa and Mastercard rules. I get that places are trying to cover costs, but it should be clear up front and within the rules. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew about the extra fee--or I would've stopped at my bank across the street to grab some cash. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of stopping by: bring cash.

Corn chips and salsa were brought to us as soon as we were seated. The salsa was great! It had a little bite to it, not just the usual mild salsa. When you order, keep in mind the portions are large. I ordered the Chili Poblano's and two Tamales. The Poblano's came with rice and refried beans. The Poblano's also had seasoned ground beef on them.

The music playing was a bit loud and it only got louder which made it difficult to hear one another. That aside, the service was good and attentive even as busy as they became.

I had the pina loca which was very tasty, but the chorizo needs to be hotter. I enjoyed it still. My wife and I love Mexican food, but she did not care for the rice or beans and barely ate her meal. Costly as it was over $75 for three dinners.

It was exactly as we'd expected. For main dishes, my wife ordered the Seafood Mexicano Special served with fish and shrimp in a cheesy sauce along with Mexican rice. I ordered the Defiance Special consisting of a tamale, a couple of chicken flautas, chicken and ground beef nachos (topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream) along with sides of rice and beans. It was a lot of food and it came out hot, fresh and fast. We filled our bellies and were off on our way to West Lafayette, IN.

We really enjoyed the food, service, and the surroundings. Fiesta Habanero's Mexican Grill offers four daily specials of $1 off: two lunch items & two dinner items. I ordered two soft beef tacos, rice & beans, and a side of warm soft tortillas. To eat the rice & beans, I tear off pieces of the warm tortillas and scoop up a little of each. This makes for a great taste of traditional Mexico, as taught to me by my late Uncle Ralph Grennay. Uncle Ralph could trace his ancestry back to Mexico, in the days (c1864) that the French supported Emperor Maximilian (an Austrian), and his efforts to overthrow the Republic under President Benito Juárez. (Apologies for the short history reminder.) The beans and rice were excellent. Not greasy or dry, and the flavor was just right for me. They served enough for a meal, for me, but I wanted to try the tacos while they were still fresh. The tacos were great. Just the right amount of ingredients, including the white Mexican cheese which provided its own melty goodness to this handful of great flavor. The veggies added to the flavor and texture without appearing to be "filler" so the owner can skimp on the meat, like so many places do. The beef was very tasty and not overly seasoned, nor was it greasy. One of the best tacos I have had, in my remembering. I had to take the second taco home for later. I heated it, open-faced, in the microwave, which often destroys tacos. This rewarming was not bad, as microwave leftovers go, but eating the fresh taco, at the restaurant was definitely the preferred method. The staff presented a friendly atmosphere, and were very helpful. They brought us our order in good time, and it was correct the first time. My family and I recommend Fiesta Habanero's Mexican Grill, and we will be returning to try their other offering. (I believe they open every work day at 1100, but I did not notice their closing hours.)
