Customer Reviews

"This place is my go-to as I live close by. Just glad it's a bit cheaper than the restaurants in the bigger city next to it. Recommend for anyone who lives close by or passing through. Well worth it with the price and selection."

"Have been going there for a while and I allways forget to review due to the phenomenal experience my whole family has every single time we go to Habaneros. Absolutely delicious authentic Hispanic food that is top tier for the area. As well as a personable staff that will cater to your needs while there the owner frequently comes by to talk about the food/service and usually gives my kids quarters for the gumball matchine that they love, a truly outstanding affordable quality old school family restaurant."

"The staff is courteous and responsive. The refried beans are not of good quality, they are excessively watery and have an unpleasant texture, the rice is satisfactory. The fajitas are of high quality and all of the open-ended burritos are large and covered in sauce, therefore the burritos are more similar to enchiladas with ranchero sauce rather than chimichangas with fundido sauce. Enchiladas are typically served with enchilada sauce on top, as they are cooked in the sauce, so the serving style was unusual. The carne asada is of good quality and the chicken was very good, the chorizo makes the fajitas quite greasy, but chorizo is generally delicious."

- Cheryl T.

"Took the family for dinner yesterday and was really pleased with the food, taste, and service. Food took me back to my California days where good Mexican Food was everywhere. What pleased me the most was that the food was not greasy like in other places. Best Mexican food i've had since moving to NC hands down. Keep up the good work in the kitchen and give them guys a raise."
