Habanero Mexican Cafe

The beans. If you're new to a restaurant like I was today, that's how you know what you are in for.The refried beans are heavenly. You could give me a bowl of their refried beans and a stack of tortillas and I would be very, very happy.I had their migas plate and an egg, bean, and cheese taco. There's was no ranchero sauce on the migas and they used real cheese instead of cheese sauce. The migas tasted good but they firmed up quickly as the plate cooled at my table.The side red salsa was mild and had been puréed to a completely smooth consistency. Good but not memorable.The dining room is small and it was filled for the lunch rush by 10:45am.There was A LOT of Spanish being spoken there and I loved it. This restaurant is on my rotation now and I will be back.

Dining in as a tourist makes me feel like I got invited to the cool neighbor's party. Servers are always smiling and cracking jokes with the locals while moving so quickly. You'll notice everyone is eating something different - you know that's a great sign.AWESOME fajitas, if you take the food less traveled like me, GET THE TRIPAS FAJITAS. They made it crispy like I like it. If not, the beef or chicken rancheras will do just fine. Chile Relleno got a great balance of cheese and chicken that isn't dry and is well seasoned. If you're not from Texas, get the fries instead - it's the same fries in your fave Cali burrito - enough crisp on every frie and the goldilocks of thick/thin.

Our family loves Habenero! It's such a cute, intimate restaurant only open till 3 pm. You may have to wait but it is worth it! Wait staff are super friendly and working hard to keep everyone fed and refills coming. It was surprisingly fast to get our food even during a rush.

Small and intimate breakfast spot. Servers are very nice and the service is very prompt and efficient. Food was good and cheap -- definitely recommend coming here for a breakfast experience.

We are regulars here mostly for breakfast but this time we had lunch. I love their carnitas plate. They are so tender and flavorful. Good portion, too. The service has always been so great and that's why we have been here for more than a decade!!!

My husband and I placed a pick up order for some breakfast tacos and not only were they crazy efficient (ready in 15 minutes), they were also so nice, and everything was packaged very nicely. My only complaint is that they forgot chips for our salsa and queso.Food: The bean and cheese taco was my favorite by far. I know it's simple but it's a classic for a reason and they've perfected it. The salsa was also amazing. You can tell it's fresh. Parking: Small parking lot and street parking nearby.

Best fajitas I've ever had. They're so tender and full of flavor! I enjoyed the rest of the meal as well. The beans and rice were pretty normal (still good), and the flour tortilla was solid. The combination of everything is so yummy, and this might have to be my favorite breakfast in Austin. I definitely wanted to take a nap after though - it's a heavy meal!

My most favorite Tex-Mex place in Austin, Texas! I love the food here, all of it. Service is always prompt and courteous. The ladies speak both English and Spanish no problem. Small old house turned into a restaurant. Love this place and always have. Chips & salsa yes please! This visit, I went with something simple, a taco salad for $8.95 at lunchtime was the perfect serving. Can't wait for my next visit!!

Really cute little restaurant in an old Austin house. Fast service, friendly staff. The complimentary chips& salsa were delicious,& I always have to love a place that does ice-cold Mexican Cokes in the Medio Litro glass bottles. I had the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce, and my friend got cheese enchiladas with the regular sauce... both were superb! I've had breakfast tacos to go from here, too, and they were huge and fantastic. Support this older Austin family business! Much better than any hipster brunch places around this area

Great breakfast taco place - fresh, cheap, fast. We got many things, can't go wrong. The salsa and tortillas were amazing. Would come back if I'm in the area. We actually bought more to go!!
