Habanero Grill

The saying of "don't judge a book by its cover" is just that with Habanero Grill! The ambiance is if you were one of the locals dining in with good friends and family, including the service! Blanca was our waitress for the evening and she was just so welcoming and really provided great service by herself on the floor. The food can't get any more authentic as i really missed having mexican cuisine as i live in Europe! Guacamole and queso dip was great as a shared appetizers with fresh tortilla chips!! the fajitas were tasty but just enough l!!! if you want to eat where the locals eat... go here!!! great experience

STAY AWAY! I mean... who puts lettuce in "guacamole"!? We came here while in town on vacation and it was BAD! Came in on an empty stomach and the fact we were the only people in here on a Sunday at 4pm should have been a clue but we still decided to give it a shot but it didn't last long.The Margaritas were VERY weak and for $10 should be at least a LITTLE buzz on an empty stomach. We ordered guacamole with out drinks and it was a mistake. Should have just left. I spent $30 here for guacamole and 2 margaritas... ABSOLUTELY worst $30 I've ever spent. The "guacamole" seriously had shredded lettuce in it. No cilantro, no jalapeño and not even any salt! It was avocado, red onion, tomato and lettuce. DO NOT COME HERE... seriously!

What happened here? My first trip there was no better around. This trip I could barely get any acknowledgment that I was even there. Food was ok but still not great. I'm sure hoping this is an off day, but it'll be hard to get me back in this door Server didn't say anything when I left. Not even the food was the same as last time. So disappointing

Carne Asada and Tilapia tacos had incredible flavor. Nice portion sizes and the guacamole was fresh and delicious. Great service!

Small portions, small flavor. The Arroz Feliz had maybe 6 forkfuls of rice and the chicken was thinly sliced, maybe less than half a breast. The "burritos" ordered by the fiancée were wrapped in what seemed like moist, stale Fritos and covered in the blandest red sauce I've ever seen.The lime used in my Corona was still slightly yellow and bitter which essentially ruined the Corona and the margarita my fiancée ordered was no more than three drops of flavoring and the rest of the cup was tequila. Service was mid-tier. The waitress didn't check on us and she never really looked up from the register, her phone or was around the floor enough to actually see we were ready to go. The overall atmosphere seems like a cross between contemporary modern antique mall and rustic Mexican pictures, but no actual Mexican restaurant VIBE. For $47.12, the price seems high compared to what you receive at a larger, more authentic restaurant in both ambience and food/flavor.

The food was fantastic! We ordered carne tampiquena and three enchiladas (cheese/shredded beef/shredded chicken) with mole and suiza sauces which came with cilantro lime rice, black beans, corn and pico. We ate everything and still wanted dessert so we ordered coconut flan with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Worth every calorie and every penny. The owner/server Martin was friendly and efficient. This would be our favorite Mexican restaurant if we lived here. It's nice not having to worry about expensive parking like restaurants downtown. It was close to our airport hotel.

Went here for dinner recently and we could not have been more pleased. To think I was going to pass this place up because of how it looks from the outside. So glad we did not. Food and Sangria were really good. Friendly service too.

This is the perfect example of don't judge a book by the cover!!When you pull up you will be like, "what in the heck is he talking about? This is a dump." Yep it looks like that. It is right next to a "massage parlor" and it looks very sketchy! Inside the venue was clean and ready for business. It wasn't elegant it wasn't outrageous, it wasn't special... it was a local down home joint that felt comfortable.When we walked in we were the only ones there... that is usually a red flag! However it was 2pm and past the lunch rush so we hoped it was not a sign. They brought the usual chips and salsa to the table... it had a little heat. Not too hot but good flavor! Starting off good. The chips were fresh and crunchy not too thin and quite good.We ordered the queso and some guac of which the queso I loved! It was the right consistency, it had a bit of spice and flavor was awesome!Emboldened by the great queso (my wife said the guac was great as well... I just don't like avocado!) we dove into the menu and ordered. I ordered the carne asada tacos and one special taco the waitress recommended (I should have noted the name.) My wife and son had the flautas... chicken and the rest ordered various dishes.The food was out of this world! Stupendous! Fantastic! It was the best Mexican food we have had since leaving Texas! I wish this location was in Atlanta! Everything was fresh. The tacos were real corn tortillas, small and packed with carne... the special taco was loaded with shredded beef, cheese, and had a cream drizzled over the top of it... it was extraordinary! Wow what flavors! They brought out a hot cream sauce which, if used sparingly, was just en fuego! Every bite was a symphony of other worldly tastes. All six of us fell in love... so much so I didn't take any pics of the food. It was all just so gosh darn good I lost myself in the joy of the dishes.The prices were right.. the service was good the food was purely outstanding! Ignore what you see when you pull up and get yourself over here to try out some of the best authentic Mexican food I have had in years! This is one place you have to get to!Truly wonderful!

Authentic, fresh, delicious. They serve chips with salsa as soon as you sit down. The salsa is unlike any other salsa I've had. It is SPICY and full of fresh jalapeños, onions, and tomatoes. I ordered the tres enchiladas with shredded chicken and barbacoa. AMAZING.

Habañero Grill is one of our go-to restaurants! The service here is wonderful and the food never disappoints. The chips are always fresh and never stale. The queso and salsa is delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. It is often the first place I come to when arriving back to Nashville after a long flight. It is great for intimate meals and big groups. Everyone is welcoming and there is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and on the side of the building.
