    Ever since I was in Mexico, I loved Mexican food.. and I am not talking about Taco Bell ( insert gross emoji ) or Del Taco etc.. I am talking real authentic Mexican food. I was visiting a friend in Leduc and we walked by Habaneros.. the smell was amazing... I asked how long have they been here? Apparently about 4 yrs.. OK well I will give it a shot and see how good it is. As I looked at the menu, the owner came up and gave me a few recommendations.. mahi mahi tacos were highly recommended. I decided to order those. While I waited, I walked around and there was a real Mexican feel to the place.. authentic furnishings, paintings on the wall ( the one on the South wall looks really good ) and Mexican music playing on the speakers. As for the tacos, I got the Mahi Mahi ones and a side of rice and beans. The rice was pretty plain ( not the kind I was expecting ) and there was just a little bit of it ( which was good because there is nothing worst than a BLEEP load of rice ). The tacos were not smothered with all the condiments that would take away the flavor of the protein - which is what I like . Fish was perfectly battered and had a nice crunch to it. Unfortunately we cant sit inside or outside - due to restrictions... I wanted to really just sit there, eat tacos and have a margarita ( or two .. OK 3 .. come on it's nice outside ). But I took it home to eat. Yes I would definitely come back when we can actually eat inside or even on a patio. Now the funnier part. While I was waiting for my order, a fellow walked in and said " Here to pick up an order for Ernie ". I turned around and said " you got to be kidding?? My name is Bert". The owner started laughing , then I did but Ernie was just deadpan.

    Went here for a birthday dinner with friends. Parking is limited here, but there are free parking spots along the street as well. It's a little dim and rustic inside and a little tight for entry & exit to the restaurant when inside, but there is hand sanitizer at the entrance. There is also a section for group reservation and outdoor seating as well. They've got the Mexican music that helps add to the vibe. Washrooms were clean and they have high chairs available plus kids menus. Kids menu is a pretty good deal, the portions I'd say would suit older kids- my 4 & 8 year old could only eat half. Pop & ice cream are also included with kids meals. If you order a fajita, they ring a bell when order is up and it's delivered to your table sizzling on the skillet. I'd say portion is decent for what you pay for. The horchata had almost a citrus taste to it which was not what I expected, but not too bad, went really well paired with the salsa & chips. There is hard copy menu (slightly outdated) but also QR scan menu. I like how the menu lists the heat level on each of the salsas. My husband had the black Diablo salsa. A few of our friends also tried it, they liked the flavour, but the heat was definitely strong. We also tried the milder green (Guasacaca) & the yellow (apocaliptica). My kids could easily tolerate the green rated salsa and I enjoyed the flavour burst from the apocaliptica- had a heat that I could somewhat surprisingly tolerate well to enjoy both heat & flavour. Our server also refilled the chips at no extra cost. I had the al pastor, although the meat was more moist than other restaurants, the flavour was not as strong, so the salsa (from the chips & salsa) brought it up a notch. Rice & beans were just okay. But overall I'd have to say the flavour profile of all the dishes I tried were excellent with bold flavours tempered with more bland items for a good balance. The non alcoholic beverage selection was great- lime slush was tasty. The size of the choco chango is humongous btw... definitely great for sharing. They also have takeout boxes too for your leftovers. Service here was friendly, steady & quick, I'd almost say it was family run if I didn't know any better. If your party is larger than 8, they automatically add gratuity too. This was a wonderful start to easing into group dining again & I'd highly recommend this place if you are thinking of Mexican food in Leduc!

    We had a night away in Leduc for a rest and when I asked on Facebook where I should eat, this was highly recommended. I can see why. The place itself is pleasant with enought trinkets to make you feel like you are in a Mexican restuarant, but nothing outstandish. The service was slow, but it was becauase that I simply think there wasn't enough wait staff for the tables. Our servers tagged each other off and did there best but the place was full and for two servers I could see how it would be overwhelming. Since it also seemed that the servers that did the cocktails which is not usual in an establishment. Kuddos to them. Management, you shoudl look at getting them more support during busy hours. That is why a star is deducited here. Nothing to do with the service itself but the management. Our Caesars were amazing. I got the jalapeno ceasar while my husban got the momia caesar. Both were amazing. Go there for this alone. WE started with the salsa sampler and we chose the salsa Verda, funky red salvina, and the sol de maya. We agreed that the sol de maya was perfect. The Savina was stinking hot but it was advertised as such. I took the leftovers home to add a teaspoon to soup stock when needed. The Verde was spoken highly of by the server but it was not much different then the jars that we buy at the Latino market. Sikip this one. For mains I chose the Enchilada a la Diabla. It doesn't look pretty on the photo but it was bang on delicosu for flavours. I judge Latino restaurants on their refried beans which to me is a barometer on how much a restaurant cares about thier food. If they do, it will be a home made, well done dish. If not they will open a can and slop it on. These are the best i have eaten. And thier diabla sauce on the enchiladas was amazing. My husband choice the chorizo tacos and he said it was very tasty without being to greasy. I am plannig to go here agian. Such stand out flavours,

    Great authentic Mexican food, love the flavors, the details and the serving size! Service was a bit slow/ disorganized but very kind. Will for sure be back!

    We came around 7 pm and had to wait for a bit due to no table is available and we didn't feel sit at the bar. When we arrived and waited, we already had a hunch how the foods would be. We would like to try as we saw there are mixed reviews for this business We ordered Carne Asada Tacos and Ceviche del Mar to share. The Carne Asada was plain. Slices of grilled beef lost the juiciness and flavour of seasonings. Rice was well-seasoned but undercooked. I still found hardness pieces of rice. My bf was asking the hottest hot sauce they have inside the tacos but he didn't feel the heat so he had to ask another side of their hottest hot sauce. Ceviche del Mar was too much lime. The sourness from lime and tomatoes killed the taste of fish and seafood itself. It was unbearable for me to finish the dish even for my boyfriend whom I asked to help. I understand why the owners have Tex-Mex and Canadianized menu aside the traditional dishes judging by the crowds. But if they can keep the traditional dishes more authentic that would be a greater point for them. Honestly, it wasn't that bad but I don't get the WOW factor which I got from other Mexican restaurants that I have been to. I gave them 2.5 starts for decors and friendliness.

    Wow, such mixed reviews for this joint! For me, I thoroughly enjoyed Habaneros Mexican Grill and will definitely be back. The prices were reasonable. $17.99 for 3 tacos, with rice and refried beans. Or sub one for more of the other, or sub both for fries or salad. I have definitely paid that for tacos in the city without any sides. Everything was pretty tasty, and the meat was moist. The tortilla soup was quite nice too, very nice flavour. They have a large patio which was very nice for a hot summer day. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely recommended, and I will be back.

    Chips & salsa plus guacamole
    Kristin K.

    I so so so wanted to love Habaneros and was excited after seeing a fellow Yelper, Alouise, gives it 5 stars. Also, I should be fair and mention that I love LOVE love Mexican food! I grew up in the U.S. and Mexican food to me there was like donairs and liquor stores seem to be to Alberta. Unfortunately, my visit earlier this month for my birthday was anything but pleasant. We came in a group of 6 including two yard apes; yes, I can call them that... they are my children ;-) We started off by ordering chips, salsa, and guacamole - the flavours weren't anything outstanding and us grownups weren't really impressed at all by the tri-colour chips. For a small portion of guacamole, we were charged $4. Next we ordered 3 margaritas and a kid friendly margarita. I found it odd that of our 3 margaritas, 1 came about 1/3 empty compared to the other 2 which were full. The margarita glasses are the smallest I have ever been served and they were on the pricier side as well. I just checked their online menu and prices aren't listed there for me to reference. Next up, we shared the appetizer platter - it was pricier than most (+$20) as well and when I went to bite into my first bite of chicken there was a hair in it These things happen, but it really set the tone for the rest of the meal. It took awhile to flag down our waitress, who to her credit was busily helping others. There honestly wasn't a single thing on the appetizer platter that any of us at the table would want to order again. For me, it's a standard to always order fajitas at a Mexican restaurant. I ordered the steak variety with a chili lime seasoning. I really couldn't taste any special seasoning and the plate was mostly filled with onions. The tortillas came separately and one of them had a huge hole in the middle - I mean, the tortilla was basically a snowflake. We also ordered the fish tacos, usually a favourite of ours, but there was SO MUCH sauce that we couldn't eat them at all. My husband will usually finish anything I don't like and even he took one bite and said no thank you. The rice and beans were to their credit, delicious! Another main ordered at our table were the chicken quesadillas; nothing wrong with them but certainly nothing spectacular either. And the last main ordered was the Habanero Enchiladas and these were actually quite good. If I had to come eat here again, this is what I would order. My children were okay with their kids' meals - tacos and chicken fingers but I did find the kids' meals also priced high and they didn't include a drink or dessert. So why call it a kids' meal? It's more like a small portion of an entree. In total our bill was $160ish which I found quite high in price and overwhelmingly lacking in quality. Even if there hadn't been a long strand of hair through my entire piece of chicken or if the fish tacos hadn't been swimming in sauce (we literally didn't even eat one fish taco), I still wouldn't come back. I also found, after paying, that I had been overcharged on an item. My husband doesn't care for shrimp, so we had subbed shrimp out of his enchilada and had shredded pork at the recommendation of the server. Upon reviewing the bill after paying, I noticed we were charged an extra $3 for pork when we had been told there would be no charge. It's funny, because the month prior we had been in Leduc and almost tried Habanero's and pulled up but some guy out front had said, don't bother... it's not very good food. So we had ventured down the road and fell in love with The Sushi Factory. I guess I should have listened to the stranger's warning. Hasta Nunca Habaneros, it wasn't meant to be. I'd give them a 1 star on food alone, but the atmosphere itself was vibrant and reminded me of Mexican restaurants back home. There were numberous televisions around to keep up on the latest game score. Giving Habaneros a one star seems rather cruel, so I'll stick with the recommended Yelp ratings where 2 stars = Meh, I've experienced better.

    My favourite pineapple curry chicken wings. YUM!
    Phebe T.

    I'm in love. I'm seriously, deeply in love with the one and only - pineapple curry flavoured chicken wings. Thanks to my colleague that I came to know about their delicious juicy chicken wings. I must say, it has gotten me so addicted to their flavourful chicken wings that I would willingly drive 30 minutes for! And, it's no joke. Every bite I take - every breath I take - takes me away to the land of just chicken wings! Oh and mind you, I'm a hard to please chicken lover. You might wanna check this place out - just for the pineapple curry chicken wings sake! +(^_^)+ Finger licking good!!! Mmmmm !!!!

    Our food selection for this night.

Best of all they're stuffed with goodness for a reasonable price. My new favourite food truck! The al Pastor tacos are great, love the roasted pineapple, it's a little tropical vacation reminder with each bite. Add some hot sauce and it's fantastic, spicy salty sweet porky goodness. Highly recommended. The barbacoa tacos were less enjoyable. The meat is less flavourful and has a dry texture even with sauce added. Strangely it was also too much for the taco to handle, tearing through the shell quickly for all three. It could use a little punch, some extra veg or something, it was bland to me. The tostadas are famous they say, and now I know why! You'll need some forks and lots of napkins, it's a messy meal, but so worth it. The three tostadas come loaded with meat (chicken), beans, feta and lots of fresh veg for $10. Best deal and meal on the menu in my opinion. If you're bored of basic food truck fare involving combinations of burgers, buns, hotdogs and fries, Calle Mexico is there for you. I can't wait to try their restaurant!

They also donate 50 cents to the local food bank for each pint of Big Rock; the only other chain which does something similar is Sherlock's and that's specific to one beer. I'm also impressed at the large clean washroom and a genius door opener where you can use your foot to open the washroom door and keep your freshly washed hands clean. Bonus star for that!
