Margarita flight was phenomenal and so was my 17 large guava margarita (def was watered down but it still tastes good, a lil heavy on the mixer though) Gorditas barbacoas were perfect, so were the sopes lingua, and the chicken fajitas was chunked thin chicken with a good mix of veggies served with rice and their beans soup. Chips and salsa on the house Try their hottest house hot sauce, the habanero hot, take caution it is not for the weak!

Restaurant was very clean, staff was helpful and friendly, menu was extensive. Salsa was very good with the chips, some of the best I've had around here. Carne asada was seasoned and cooked wonderfully. Birria tacos were excellent . The drinks were well made and not skimpy on the fun juice added! Margarita flight is a must...the strawberry and mango were my favorites. All in all a really good Mexican restaurant.

Excellent all around! Waitress was lovely. Food was very fresh, hot, and tasty! No waiting, everybody in the place is congenial. Light and fun atmosphere. Fajitas mixed with steak and chicken was so good and so filling— see video!

Came here to say for dinner on a Friday night. Fantastic service and delicious food at a great price. Cool atmosphere too. Had the carnitas tacos, side of plantain, and seafood fajitas. Excellent! Will definitely come back here.

Pretty good first time experience. A nice combination of traditional Mexican, Tex Mex, and other Latin dishes. Staff was very friendly, as was ownership. Very large and beautifully decorated restaurant, conveniently located right off Millwood Pike. Plenty of lunch and dinner options, and great for large groups. Looking forward to going back, I'm sure they'll add a few more things as they grow!

I rarely give out 5 stars. El Habanero hit a home run. Their chips and salsa were perfect. Nice and thin and crispy, the salsa was a good blend of tomato and onions. My wife is hard to please with the seafood soup, but they made it to her liking. My Enchiladas Verde was great as was. The service was excellent and the restaurant look good. They also have outside seating surrounded by trees for privacy. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
