UPDATE: I'm usually only in Las Cruces once a year, and Habanero's Fresh Mex has become one of my favorite go-to's! This time I had the cheese enchilada lunch special with both red and green salsa (the red's a bit hotter, both delicious). And if I didn't mention before, you definitely want to try the little cup of soup that comes with the meal! It's a savory broth with beans and some noodles, and the perfect amount to hit the spot while you're waiting. The weather was great this time and I was able to sit out on the patio in December, which I also highly recommend.

When we walked into Habanero's, we were really confused because we thought it would be a regular table service type of restaurant. It was actually order at the counter and take a number set up. But, that was ok. We tried their mahi mahi fish tacos and enchilada Del Mar. Both entrees were absolutely amazing. We can taste the authenticity of the food. Rice and beans were also delicious; we almost licked the plate. Will be back again for sure. Highly recommend!!

Delicious food, fresh and authentic. Very good service. The ambience needs work. It's too dark inside.

Food is tasty and service is good. Would recommend for a tourist. Chile is not hot. Perfect for tourists.

Cute local Mexican food spot in Las Cruces. Stopped here on a cross-country road trip and was super impressed by the vegan menu options they offered, including the 2 potato taco plate that I got--the stars of the show were the homemade hard taco shell! Service was quick and simple with an ordering counter and staff that brought out food in less than 10 minutes. Everything was fairly mild spice wise and was a good, standard spread for a casual Mexican restaurant. Nothing too adventurous but very solid food and good hope in the wall atmosphere--recommend for anyone looking for a laid-back casual meal.

Great food, great service! Order at the counter and then go sit down. There's a dining room in the back, too. The Arroz con Cameron was excellent, and there was enough for lunch the next day. As noted in the photo, it included thinly sliced zucchini, thin ribbons of onion, plump shrimp, and a dollop of sour cream, all on a bed of rice. It was quite satisfying! Twice!

Came through New Mexico to see the solar eclipse. My family if from New Mexico so i have had my share of great representations of the local food.If you're looking for traditional New Mexican cuisine this is not it. This is Mexican food with a New Mexican flair.I came specifically because on other reviews I saw pictures of sopapillas. I had to have a sopapilla in New Mexico!The food was wonderful. My husband had the green Chile arroz con pollo with calabacitas, it was great! I had the Christmas enchiladas, I think the wind went out of my sails when I found out that the enchiladas weren't stacked. The taste was great just not necessarily what I anticipated.I asked for sopapillas, no sopapillas I really don't want to take away from the food because the flavor was there. They use hatch Chile for their food and that part was wonderful and the service was ok. I didn't give the cashier a tip right away and I am guessing that's why we don't get chips and salsa as the other table did that sat after us. I was planning of giving a cash tip after the meal. I sent my son to give her the tip after we finished our meal only because the kitchen staff deserved the extra kuddos.We would recommend and come again with a mindset of this is Mexican and NOT traditional New Mexican.

What a little gem this place is. Small, great menu, and awesome food. I had the three tacos which I was able to get with one each of shredded beef, chicken, and potato. Each was unique in flavor with a perfectly crispy corn tortilla. My partner had the veggie fajitas which were equally great with onions, peppers, zucchini, carrots, and potatoes. Plus the menu has several other vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Habanero's is a local gem. They have a Welcome Soup that tastes like they are welcoming you home! My husband thinks their Mole is the best in town. For me, I order their Chile Relleno or Fajita Burrito. The Relleno is one of the best I have eaten. Several years ago we wanted chile relleno for our Holiday party. Other restaurants told us we should get them from Habeneros. We did and the rellenos were the hit of the party!A word of warning... the fajita burrito is huge! Be ready to enjoy leftovers for more than one meal.
