    Chicken burrito bowl. Paid extra for lettuce. Just okay.
    Elise M.

    Ordered delivery for first time. It was quick. The chicken burrito is really good, best I have had in this neighborhood. Giving 5 stars for the burrito and fresh salsa. I have to say it's absurd that a few leaves of lettuce is $1 extra and salsa is another $1 extra when most places have this included. But the mild red salsa is really good - it's very fresh. It's worth the extra dollar. My biggest complaint is that if you're charging a dollar for lettuce there should really be more of it - it's barely there. Second time got delivered the chicken burrito bowl. It was okay. Still kinda weird to have to pay extra for lettuce and extra for salsa.

    Chicken Nachos with Grilled Chicken and Guacamole
    Treasure O.

    I am very disturbed with the fact that I ordered my food to stay and eat and when it was ready I was called up from my table to get my own food and take it back to my table. Less than 5 minutes later 3 Hispanic females come in and order their food and sit at their table. When their food is ready the guy behind the counter brings them their food to their table. I'm confused as to why I had to pick up my own food. I ordered the chicken nachos and they weren't all that, kinda bland. Plain food and bad customer service.

    Grilled Vegetables Burrito
    Liz F.

    I ordered delivery from Habanero Cafe Mexican Grill. The original estimate was 40 minutes, but it wound up being well over an hour before I got my food. The food itself was okay. I ordered vegetarian nachos and the grilled vegetable burrito. The burrito was good--the grilled veggies were super yummy. However, the nachos were not good at all. They were soggy (possibly from transport), didn't have much cheese and were drenched in sour cream. They had pinto beans on them, but the beans had no seasoning whatsoever so the whole thing was very tasteless. Overall, I would order the burrito again, but not the nachos.

    Chicken burrito bowl with grilled veggies
    Melissa F.

    I've spent a lot of money at Habaneros so it's about time I write them a review. I can't speak to the dining experience because I've never actually eaten at the restaurant itself, but the delivery is great - on time and often early. The burrito bowl is a great size and sometimes I get two meals out of it. Their quesadillas are really good too and I usually get a side of guac which is always fresh. As long as the food and delivery stay top notch I'm sure they'll stay my go to Mexican place.

    Shredded chicken burrito bowl
    Marielle L.

    Shredded chicken burrito bowl is good, but i paid an extra $2.75 for guac and they didnt even put any in. I thought maybe they hid it under the sour cream, but it's not even in here. I'd change my rating if they decided to so something about it

    Yummo!

    Reliable service, good food. Nothing that really stands out too much otherwise. It's right across from the hosp so that's a plus.

    The best enchiladas I've had in this area. The service is great too and they gave me a free cheesecake I guess for ordering from them a lot.

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things. Great place for sporting events as well as I was here with a group to watch Brazil vs Morocco and stayed to watch the Knicks win right after and become champions!

This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
