Habaneros - Metairie

The food we ordered was delicious. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and tender to cut. Also the vibe inside of the restaurant is top tier.

Love the atmosphere. Started with the chicken tortilla soup. It was good but a bit salty. Ribeye fajitas were very good. Tender and surrounded by onions and bell peppers. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

We came for lunch on Sunday. Since we came early, we were able to park right in front with plenty of parking. As this is next to Lakeside Mall, I can see that parking may be busy at certain times. The parking structure is right next to the restaurant with additional parking there.The place is really fun. The ambiance and decorations are exciting. They give you the option of eating inside or outside. The outside is covered and there are plenty of fans, as well as 3 TVs to play whatever current game is on. (We watched the Saints game.)I saw a group of ladies at another table all drinking the same drink - some fruity concoction in a Pineapple-shaped glass. It looked great. I don't recall the Spanish name of it, but it was similar to a Pina Colada. I ordered it and it was delicious!They give you complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. It was all very tasty. The menu is large. We saw they have weekly lunch specials Monday through Friday that looked really good. As we were here on a Sunday, those were not an option, but they do have a Brunch Menu, that had great options as well. It was tough to narrow it down, but we finally made our choices and placed our order.Our meals came out quick. I got the Red Snapper Fish Tacos. My friend got the Chicken Fajita Tacos. We both got the corn tortillas. All were excellent. My friend also chose the Chicken Tortilla Soup for one of her side choices. She loved it.Our server was Omar, and he was very helpful and attentive. I would definitely come back here. Prices are on the higher end, but you get a lot of food and the atmosphere is enticing.

The food was great. The service was subpar. I understand being busy on a Saturday night but the staff was not friendly or warm. When I walked in they just looked at my husband and I and continued doing what they were doing. I asked aloud (well after 5 minutes) "Is there a hostess available?" I'm not sure if the workers aren't proficient in English or what the issue was, but someone came up shortly and said "Inside or outside.." no greeting, no hello.. I wasn't in the mood to give a complaint so I just said inside. They said it would be 25 mins so I said we will sit at the bar. The bartender was a tad bit warmer. I would visit again because I enjoyed the Baja shrimp tacos and things but I'm not going because the service was great, I'm going because the food was great. Chicken tortillas soup- 8/10Shrimp Baja tacos- 10/10 Spicy margaritas- 7/10 My husband had the same thing I had but he had plantains with his, they were pretty good.

Went to Habaneros for lunch on Labor Day and I wasn't very impressed. The atmosphere was nice and they had great music and photo ops, but the seating at our table was really strange and the pink chairs were much lower than the table. They did not have soap in the bathroom and the restaurant was freezing so you might want to bring hand sanitizer and a jacket just in case. Our waitress was nice, but we had to ask for napkins and silverware when we noticed we didn't have any after we got our food. Our food was also not brought out together. For starters we had chips, salsa, bean dip, and queso which was all great. I liked that they bring you a bean dip with the salsa. I had the Beef Birria tacos for my entree and they were really soggy :( When I picked them up they were falling apart.

I've been here a couple of times and enjoyed my food each time. I love how the restaurant is decorated, great for pictures. The servers were really nice and attentive. The food came out in a timely manner. My only complaint is that some of the food was a little cold, not super hot.

The ambience is nice. Definitely has a vibe. The lighting, decor, and music were on point. Go with more than two people or ask to be seated downstairs. There were two people in our party, and the host stuck us in a corner like a couple of misbehaving kids. Service was fine. Our server was attentive. We ordered the selective tacos, which were a great value at $3/ea.Queso: 10/10; consistent with its name, it's spicy.Refried bean dip: 8/10; a little more salt and liquid smoke and these would've rivaled Popeyes.Salsa: too spicy for me. Pastor taco: 9/10Ground beef taco: 9/10Chicken taco: 7/10Carnitas: 8/10Deep fried oreo: 1/10; 1 for presentation. I didn't like smell or taste, and I don't think they were Nabisco Oreos. 4 for $10.

Food was good.. I had the avocado wrap with fries. I did not have any meat and the taste was great. The music was kind of loud at times but it was all good. Pretty chilled vibe.

We were seated quickly. Our waitress was pleasant but seemed like she may have been a bit new based on coming back to clarify our order and frequent reminders for things like napkins and hot water. I ordered the steak and eggs and my other half ordered the Avacado toast with shrimp. We both ordered the house margaritas frozen mango and raspberry. Me of course with extra tajin. The food came out pretty quickly and the steak was seasoned to perfection. When we ordered the Avacado toast, it came with bacon bits. The waitress came back and asked what protein we wanted (shrimp, chicken, or steak) or a combo. I asked her if it came with it as we saw that it came with bacon. She said yes, it comes with it. When the bill came, I noticed it was $5 more for the Avacado toast. When I asked her about it, she said she needed to ask her manager. I told her we weren't looking for anything extra however she was a bit confused when she rung it up since the system asked for it, she assumed we had to select one. She made an adjustment and came back staring she took off $3. I explained that didn't solve the problem since there was an up charge of $5. After reviewing and explaining, she went back and took off the entire $5. The short of it is that it appeared that the waitress was new and didn't know of how to read the system. I'm sure we'll come back as there are some other menu items we want to try.

We have tried this restaurant 3 times now. Each time, the quality of the food and the service has greatly declined. The enchiladas were such a disappointment - no filling, no sauce, dry as a bone. The only thing that anyone enjoyed were the birria tacos but that is not enough to keep us coming back. We will not be returning.
