First time here and was excited to try their foods. The space is pretty lively, with lots of TVs for sports and entertainment. I'm sure it can get pretty loud on game nights and during sporting events. The bar is pretty stocked and there's plenty of seating inside and outside.We were seated quickly and each staff we came across was super kind and very nice. They were all accommodating, friendly, and nice!We came on a Tuesday and they had a Pastor Taco deal for $2. We order some and they came with some cucumbers, limes, and they were double tortilla corn tacos. The flavor of the tacos were a bit lacking for me and they were topped with canned pineapples, which isn't terrible but it could be better. I feel like the spices or flavoring of the meat was slighty underwhelming but overall, can't complain for $2. It also came with 3 types of salsas and the habanero salsa was super spicy but so good!We also got frozen margaritas, we got one blackberry and we also got one that was a mix of strawberry and mango. They were both delicious but the strawberry mango marg was my favorite of the two. You can get a salt, sugar, or Tajin rim! By recommendation of our server/bartender, I would recommend the frozen margs.Overall, the space is lively, fun, and staff was so nice. I feel like the food could be a bit better but I need to come back and try everything else.Good place for sports, friends, and fun. Would recommend their frozen margaritas, for small or large groups, or just a casual place to be.

We love ourselves some Habaneros! Friendly service with delicious food. There is a convenient parking lot located behind this building. Small patio offered for the warm days. Everything from the margaritas to the tacos are yummy yummy! Our favorite part is the staff though. We love sitting at the bar and chatting with them.

It was my first time at Habaneros Clintonville and it was great. I had the Street Tacos with Chicken, Chorizo, and Steak; it was delicious and different unlike many Mexican restaurants that I have gone in the past. However, they charge for chips and salsa which most Mexican restaurants give at zero extra cost. They service was excellent and he took great care of my friend and I. They did a wonderful job in turning the former Old Bag of Nails into Habaneros Clintonville with televisions staying put to watch sports. They played Spanish language music to give it ambiance. I will be at Habaneros Clintonville to try their burritos or bowls, or Taco Tuesday specials.

Very excited to see this open in Clintonville! The restaurant location is great and the staff were friendly. The food was delicious and quick, and the patio was nice, just a bit noisy with High St. right there. The trickiest thing is the parking/ entrance. The parking lot is in the back and the entrance is around front but you had to walk almost through the patio to get to it (just a bit awkward). Overall very pleased this is finally open!

The food is amazing! We were attended as soon as we walked in, the service was fast and friendly. If you wanna fill up on some good food, get the Steak Torta, best torta I've had in Columbus so far. And to finish off your meal, try the fruit shot, just be careful because it's very smooth! I will definitely be coming back for more.

First time we went to Habeneros Clintonville everything was great. Second time good food but poor service. Third time, place was pretty empty but couldn't get a table. Stood by hostess stand for 5 minutes and no one came to seat us. One woman, in a Habeneros sweatshirt was sitting by bar but never looked up from her phone. No other employees or bartenders were present. 5 minutes in a restaurant without seeing an employee at 5 on Taco Tuesday? Would love for them to succeed but the place is gaining a reputation for poor service.

First time and just bad. Charged for stale chips and okay-ish salsa. Al Pastore tacos were advertised as $1 on website, they were $2. They are tiny tacos with chewy chunks of pork, go to Los Guachos if you want a good Al pastore. I laughed at the canned pineapple chunks sprinkled on. Place was dead except the 5 employees/chef/manager sitting at the bar in uniform, drinking... niceeee. Hot salsa is 10/10 tho!
