Habanero's Urban Mexican Grill runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and an easy pace. Value feels fair for the quality. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Serve sizes show solid value. Orders move at a steady pace.
Genuinely some of the worst food I have ever ordered. Three dry flappy tortillas with piles of sad shredded cabbage, some overcooked chicken and some chopped raw tomato with a sprinkle of corn straight from the can - trying to pass as charred corn pico de gallo. I ate the dry chicken and left the rest. Will never order from here again.
For being a long way from Mexico, this place is good. The beef chimichanga was delicious. As others have said, the menu was a little confusing and could be improved by listing which toppings are included in the items that say “preload toppings”. Overall, portions sizes were large and the food tasted good.
I love the “Meat on Chips Chicken” — the fried chicken and sauce are always on point. But the chips can be hit or miss. Quite a few times I’ve had soggy, oily ones mixed in with the fresh ones, and this time it was about half and half. Honestly, it feels like some chips are partially cooked in an earlier batch, then refried together with the next order, and sometimes even more than once. If the chips were always fresh, this would be the perfect meal. In the photo, the chips on the left are the soggy, oily ones, and the ones on the right are the normal ones.
Brought the fried chicken nachoes. Got undercooked chicken. Went to the till expressing my concerns that the chicken was not cooked and they were confident it had been deep fried and thoroughly done. I ate some of the corn chips and went back to the till because it just didn’t seem right, they offered to replace it but at that point it was such an average meal and had to go back to work. Disappointed because this place was convenient for me. Won’t be returning.
The food was good and the price is great considering the prices these days. The portions are generous. It was hard for me to understand the menu easily because it was my first time, and I don't think the staff explained it easily. Parking should be paid and it's not easy, but it would be great for office workers in that area. I want to go there again when I have a chance to go nearby. There are other restaurants, so I think it would be good to buy this and that and eat together.
Wow, stumbled into this place by accident, what a treat. Delicious food all round. Very easy to recommend
Very tasty Mexican food. Good size & value for money. Tastes fresh and flavourful. Nice selection of hot sauces to add on to your meal. Thanks!
Burritos were tasty and customer service was good too. The lady at the counter and the other chef, both were very courteous and suggested good options. Overall a nice place to have a quick healthy grab and the meal portion was also quite filling.
