My second time. The Mexican restaurant menus are photocopies of each other. But the taste differs distinctly. Habanero’s food 8.5 to 9 on the scale. Sara was attentive. We were 4. My wife liked her strawberry daiquiri. My friends liked their margaritas. The food came in ten minutes. Hot and aromatic. And tasty. Nice waitress, tasty entrees, and well made drinks? A 9, I would say.

I've been here several times with friends and the food is always great. This last time was a bit noisy, but not the staff's fault.
Parking: The parking lot is a bit tight if you have a pickup truck, but we managed.

This is my go to Mexican restaurant. Best nachos in town if you ask me. Everyone I have taken her has enjoyed what they order. The only down fall is the building is smaller. Very reasonably priced in my opinion. I keep going back time and time again.
