This restaurant is an authentic Mexican diner on the border of Williamsburg and Bedford Stuyvesant. I've had several dishes here and I'm never disappointed in service or food. I've had Huevos de Rancho with extra salsa and spicy pork salad, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, red onions, red beans in a crispy tortilla shell, and Hibiscus Sorrel. The crispy tortilla shell was awesome and meat was marinated and tender. When you walk in you can smell the aroma of greatness. Consistent customer service, minimal wait time, and an clean dining area. Pick up, dine in, or delivery. Do it. read more

Came here twice. First time chicken burrito, second time ground beef burrito. Both burritos full of rice and beans and sprinkles of meat. No cheese, no onions, no lettuce. Both about 13 bucks. This place makes Taco Bell look like a gourmet 5 star experience. read more

Conveniently located across from Woodhull Medical Center (on the fire station side), Habanero is a hidden gem with generous portions and reasonable prices! Being raised in California, I'd like to say my Mexican food standards are pretty reliable and I definitely recommend this place. One of my favorite things is their extensive menu ranging from flautas, enchiladas, burrito, burrito bowls, taco salads, juices and even beer! I've gotten their chorizo burrito bowl many times; my co-worker got a burrito and it was definitely better and bigger than Chipotle's (also not as overly salty) and today I tried their spicy pork enchilada and it was bomb. Inside is really clean with reasonable amount of seating and but they're very prepared for lunch hour / take out orders. Their packaging is really good (nothing leaks) and they're careful to bag them in a way that helps you transport your precious cargo. Support small, local businesses! read more

Habanero Cafe Mexican Grill - Spicy Pork Enchilada ($10.15) - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

I love this spot for burritos. I love that you can get brown rice and pick your type of beans. My go to is the grilled chicken burrito with brown rice, black beans and I get extra grilled vegetables added. So amazing! read more

I have ordered from here twice and have not been disappointed. The delivery speed is extremely quick. I have ordered the fish burrito and chips and guac. The fish burrito is extremely unique but is truly so tasty! The guac and chips are fantastic as well. I have never eaten inside the restaurant so I have no comments on that. Worth ordering if you are looking for fast and yummy Mexican food. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious! Portions are filling and flavorful! I'm a big guy and the burritos definitely satisfy!

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. read more

Habanero Cafe Mexican Grill - Chicken Nachos with Grilled Chicken and Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Facing stiff competition down the street from local competitor chain chipotle, habaneros is my top choice for local ethnic cuisine. If you were wanting to support small business and have a delicious meal, this is the place to go. Service is prompt whether you order in store or for pick up. Food is delicious and taste fresh. They have plenty of choices for whatever you're craving that day. Can't wait to go for lunch just by myself or with a group of people. read more

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

Good but not great food. We think it needs a little more flavor. Just ok nothing to write home about.

When it come to Mexican food, I have high standards. It's always challenging finding proper Mexican on the East Coast. I live near by and decided to give this place a shot, I was pleasantly surprised. I have ordered their, steak, chicken, & shrimp burritos - all were good and filling. I have also ordered their steak nachos and think the nachos are the real winner here. I also really really love their salsas, which is how I knew this place is legitimate - it's got bold rich flavors read more

I've been ordering from this place for probably 5 years and it's just the best. They have the best guacamole I've ever had, and their prices are super reasonable. Best things to order here: nachos, enchiladas, tacos, and flautas! They also have a lot of vegan options and vegan substitutions! read more

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. read more

I ordered delivery- first time customer. It was meh. I ordered the guacamole, veggie burrito bowl, elote and a fish taco. I enjoyed the fish taco; it was the best thing I ordered. (Although I think it would be better with red cabbage.) The guacamole was unremarkable, the bowl was bland and the elote was over cooked, over sauced and over spiced. I'm not hungry anymore so that's good. But I'm not satisfied either so that sucks. read more

The "spicy pork" enchiladas were surprisingly non-spicy (and I'm not usually someone who needs a lot of spice). I wish it came with Mexican rice instead of plain rice. The guacamole is tasty, but the chips seem like they are probably store bought. Overall the food was ok but kind of plain and could have used more flavor/spice. One nice thing was that my pickup order was ready pretty quickly. read more

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. read more

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 read more

The fish burrito is incredible, don't overlook it. Everything is so affordable. Go to takeout

If I read one more Yelp review that refers to a place as a "hidden gem", I'm gonna kill myself. This unassuming Mexican restaurant is great. They offer high quality, generous portions at a reasonable price. The people that work here at delightful, I always tip them for their awesome attitudes. I guess you could say this place is a real little hidden gem. ...next Yelp search will be for funeral services. read more

I used to love this place. I've ordered food from here regularly and always always always ask for sour cream on the side because I am allergic. Including tonight! But when I pulled my order out of the bag, there was sour cream on the nachos. No big deal I thought, I'll just call and tell them about the mistake. When I called, not only was the man who answered the phone more than rude, he then misrepresented me to his manager when he was relaying the message. And refused to correct the mistake. What am I going to do with nachos with sour cream on them when I'm allergic to sour cream and my order specifies otherwise? I used to order from this place 3 or 4 times a week, my tab for this order was over $40 and these nachos were at least $13 with the outrageous extra amounts they charge for sides (guac is $2.75 and they are so stingy with the servings), but I digress. If I'm spending close to $200 a week ordering food from this restaurant regularly, but they won't correct an error...why would I ever order from here again? And when did customer service become optional, especially for the food industry? Oh answer, I will NEVER order from this place again and I'm appalled that it's management thinks that this is an ok way to treat customers. It's pathetic and the salsa isn't even spicy read more

I had a mojito and pollo Al ajillo. Very good. The place is beautiful clean and service great.

I loved this new place, the food is fresh with generous portions. Great price for lunch! Great sazón! Foodies should give it a try!

I have never been inside of the restaurant but I always order in from them (at least a couple of times a months for about 1.5 years now). The food is always great and very filling. They are very accommodating to special instructions and never ignore them (which is a big one for delivery). One time I ordered in and food arrived very sub-par -- overcooked. I called just to let them know, not looking for a refund, just to make sure other customers who are new get a better experience. They promptly refunded me and were very happy to receive feedback. Overall one of my favorite places to order in from! read more

Bomb ass breakfast burrito. I have been depressed ever since the closing of Stan's years ago and have been on the hunt for a tasty breakfast burrito. Well look no more! Sliced steak breakfast burrito that is fantastic and filling for seven bucks. Can't really beat that. Ordered on seamless and the delivery was quick. Definitely going to order from these guys again. read more

I don't know if this a New York with their taste buds or what but the food wasn't that great from here. The only thing that I could munch on was the chips and salsa which I thought was pretty good. Got their ground beef enchiladas and it tasted like cardboard mixed with cheese and tomatoes. The beans are not consistent all the way through. And the salad was, well... salad. Rice was sometimes dry. I also ordered the shredded chicken quesadilla and that was below par of Taco Bell. Tortilla was already wet and soft (I ordered delivery so this is a given) but the chicken was bland and tasteless. The cheese looked like plastic but it definitely was a taste of Monterey Jack cheese. I didn't taste any form of chipotle sauce. I'm a Southeastern MA guy so maybe my taste buds are different than that of New York's fast and busy lifestyle but this place did not satisfy my hunger nor did I fully enjoy my food. read more

I wasn't excited to try takeout from this place and ordered lunch - a beef burrito bowl - via Seamless. It gave me a time they would deliver by...20 minutes passed that time I tried to call the restaurant to check the delivery status. No answer. For the next 10 minutes I called about a dozen times. No answer. So through Seamless customer service I was able to cancel and get a refund for my order. The delivery guy showed up anyway about two hours from the time I placed the order! Will never order or buy from here again. read more

This place won 4stars from me because of how nice the staff has been a few times I went, so the service is good. When it comes to food tho...it's just okay in every way, I don't complain but it's nothing special, certainly I will go back if I crave broccoli nachos but I would never expect to be wowed by this place in any way. It's just okay. read more

This place is pleasantly delicious for the area it is in. I've ordered through seamless from them more than a few times. Delivery is always punctual, and the food is always fresh. The only reason they get 4 instead of 5 stars is that a few times I've wanted to order breakfast from them, they haven't been open at their scheduled open time. Other than opening late some days, if you need decent food in an area known for not-so-decent food, check this place out! read more

It smelled delicious and it tasted great. For just under $9 I got a soda and a vegetarian burrito bowl. The staff is courteous. The restaurant is clean. The seating is nice. The atmosphere is comfortable. It was a great place to stop, get out of the rain and get a bite to eat. I love the fact that they have vegetarian options. They deliver and accept card cards. read more

I ordered delivery through Seamless. Delivery was within around 45 min (listed delivery est. was 50-60 min). My choices: Chicken enchilada - comes with rice, black beans and a shredded lettuce, tomato and sour cream salad. Nachos - cheese, pico, sour cream and black beans. The enchilada was delicious. A little smaller than what I imagined it would be but still filling with plenty of chicken and delicious cheese. The rice and beans totally helped it be more filling and the salad was also great and fresh. The nachos were great, the tortilla chips were crispy and salted, I actually ended up eating some of the salad from the enchilada with the nachos because there weren't enough toppings for the bottom nakey nachos (we all know this horrible situation). I ordered my mother a grilled steak burrito and she said it could have been a little more flavourful but I had a bite and it's good, I'd order it for myself. I definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting good mexican food at okay prices. I haven't tried any of their tacos, salads or horchata yet but I hope to later on today ;) read more

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.

Good food, bad service! Trust me, I understand you are working and it's cold! Got a call to come down so while I was waiting for the elevator, within 3 minutes he called again yelling "you coming down or what"! Thank god I had change because it went from a $15 dollar tip (just because it's cold and his troubles! To a $2 tip! On a order of $22 dollars! Sorry but no one talks to me in that matter! The food was good, the tortilla soup was the most interesting because it's unlike any soup I've had but it's good! Give it a try! read more

I've ordered deliveries from this spot twice now. Both took over an hour to arrive. Orders were for 3 tacos and some chips. I live 4 blocks away. I'm kinda lazy. Tacos were okay. That is all. PS: I did get a free canoli on the second delivery. It was chocolate. Not sure what that meant. read more

Was kinda disappointed in the steam tacos I ordered. They had more lettuce than actual steak. Flautas were actually pretty good. Don't try asking for salsa verde here, they will charge u $1, and is very watery read more

I used to work in the area for many years and I have never ordered from here and I'm not sure why. Stopped in for a quick bite and I'm glad I did. The prices are great and the portions are huge. I ordered the shredded chicken flautas and it was so yummy. It came w shredded lettuce and pick de gallo. My friend ordered the chicken quesadilla and that came with rice beans pico de gallo and a huge side of guacamole. My plate= $8 my friends plate=$12!!! I ate around 11am. It is now 7:30 and I'm still full!! read more

Ugh I used to really like Habanero because their veggie burrito bowl is delcious, but this last time I got one bite that tasted exactly like dirt- guessing the vegetables weren't washed and then I got sick a couple of days later. Too bad becuase this was previously one of my go-to delivery options. read more
