I had a take out from here with a friend and then returned to eat here sometime later. The food was very good both times. The only thing I wish were different is the type of plates. They serve on plastic. Apart from that, it’s a pretty good, unpretentious neighborhood restaurant.

Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Freshly made doughy taco. Delicious al pastor taco. Squeeze a line on it, perfect. Taco Tuesday is 2 dollars taco.

The food and salsas are great. However, I ordered 4 tacos in person (2 al pastor and 2 asada) and was charged $21.51 when they show the price on the menu per asada/ al pastor tacos is $3.50. $3.50 x 4 = $14. Even with tax and fee for using credit card that does not justify the $7.51 (a 50% increase of the total price).

I recently had a meal at The Habanero and overall, it was a decent experience. The atmosphere was very welcoming and had a nice, casual vibe that made it feel comfortable to sit and enjoy the food. The mole and pupusas were alright — nothing extraordinary, but definitely satisfying, especially for the price.
Food came out relatively quickly, which was appreciated. However, there was a bit of disorganization with the service. Dishes were being brought to the wrong tables, parts of our order were forgotten until we reminded the staff several times, and basic items like napkins and utensils were oddly hard to come by.
Despite the service hiccups, the overall experience wasn’t bad. The location is convenient, and for the price point, the food holds up. With a little more attention to organization and service, this place could really shine.
Its a small place but real Mexican food.

Been coming here for years for their fresh pupusas, curtido, and salsa.
Update 12/2024: still great all around, although like everywhere else, prices are higher.
