    Something exquisite about this spot. Leaves your mouth full with a magnificent homemade taste. Customer service is top notch. Best spot in town without a doubt. Nothing better than great customer service and even better food!

    Good Mexican food, family owned. Pros: good food, you get ALOT of food and it's cheap. They take CC and there is no minimum. Free WIFI Cons: they forgot my guacamole that was suppose to come with meal, place is very small, so I would not recommend it for big groups. They ran out of flan, but it was almost their closing time, so I understand.

ALL of this bc I dared to ask for what I ordered . My mistake . I was told to sign the check ($13.37) and "there's the door" . "Don't come back , there are other restaurants to go to" . As a male voice SHOUTS from the back , "SHUT THE F@*# UP" . Such a terrible experience , on a Friday MORNING , for a SCHOOL BUS driver at 11:30a . UNACCEPTABLE . I tried to explain . Manager said she wasn't going to listen . Denied her behavior . I tried to say my job was to order , eat and pay . Their job (At a minimum) is to provide what I ordered . Not make it seem like it was my fault "When you order it that way , the kitchen changes it to something else." Ordered a 1 TostaGuac (w/no tomato / no beef) and 1 Chicken tamale . Food came , at first glance it looked good . Noticed there was no guacamole on my tostada . A different waitress came to the table , I told her that there was no guacamole , she said "tostadas don't come with guacamole" I said , I ordered the TostaGuac . She walked away . Then , the female manager comes . All of this .... Over guacamole . The guacamole I ORDERED . Why ?? Why couldn't the MANAGER say , "Oops . I'm sorry . Must have been a misunderstanding in the back . I'll get you a new one." No . That did not happen . Instead , I am told to leave and not come back . I am so sorry for asking for guacamole . I'm so sorry I wanted a new tostada . I should know that my requests are outside the norm for a Mexican Cuisine restaurant . For future I will remember to just accept what I'm given , to shut up and "just sign the bill" . Then "theres the door" . So , I dare not step foot again . I have been put in my place and told other restaurants are more accommodating . So sorry for bothering them at lunchtime . Persona non grata .

    We've only had the taco's so far. The beef and the steak. Absolutely delicious. Being from the west…read moreI can honestly say these are the closest thing to southwest mexican food (my favorite) that I have found. Tender, moist. Simple, uncomplicated perfectly seasoned. Could not ask for a better taco. Excellent service, great atmosphere. We won't be going anywhere else from now on.

    This neighborhood market, grocery store, resto and family owners have been around Defiance for a…read morelong time. 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.

    This restaurant has changed hands several times, over the years. The current owners seem to have…read morefinally got it right! My wife, granddaughter, and I visited on 28 March 2016. 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.)

    The food is always great and the service is better! I love the carnitas (#35) but the food here is…read moregreat across the board.
