Had the Caribenos which is shrimp tacos with plantains and street corn! It’s my go to dish over here and it’s never disappointing! Jose was our server and he was very attentive and can answer any questions you may have about the menu!

We stopped here for lunch after a day of birding. It's in a small strip of restaurants right off the road. Decor was really nice, including the bathrooms! Food was super fresh and we ordered off the lunch menu specials starting at 7.95 on the back page. I'm not sure why we weren't expecting it to be as fresh as it was but the Salad was amazing with black beans and avocado, Tortilla soup was a must have, and the mushroom spinach enchiladas were fantastic. Lots of healthier and also plant based options. Just beware, most of the dressings and sauces were very spicy. We enjoyed it but mention to the server if you need something milder.

Been here several times now. Customer service is always super kind and attentive. Food seems to taste different based on cooks at the moment. Some items may not be available due to seafood shortage. Overall would pass by here again.

Food and drinks are phenomenal. Have been here 4 times and never a bad meal. Not huge portions but the quality is higher than any other Mexican place in north shore.

I have been frequenting Habaneros on 21 since they opened. Their margaritas are honestly the best in the area. The food is always delicious. But what really makes this restaurant stand out is the exceptional service. Estefany goes above and beyond to ensure I always have a fantastic dining experience. Her warm smile, attentive nature, and knowledge of the menu make her a true asset to the team. If you're looking for a fantastic Mexican meal with top-notch service, look no further than Habaneros.
