We had a group of eight and had no trouble getting a table for all of us. It's a fun atmosphere and we really enjoyed the food. Great place to go before seeing a movie at the Capitol Theater.
If you want great Mexican food this is worth the trip. It's got an awesome Dia de Los Muertos vibe. The margarita flight was amazing (I highly recommend the spicy mango or coco loco) and the food was exceptional. It's a bit on the pricier side but $10 taco Tuesday can help with that and I felt a little rushed by the wait staff (went to meet my sister and catch up so we wanted to take our time). Otherwise the service was fine and the food and drinks came out within minutes. This place really scratches the Latin Flair itch.
The staff was nice and attentive as soon as I walked in. It was between lunch and dinner yet still pleasantly busy for a Monday. The Salmon tacos with black beans as the side was amazing! The sauce didn't kill the salmon flavor. The onions are a little overpowering but I'm not a huge fan so I would ask for no onion next time. Highly recommend this place!
Everything about Blue Habanero is great! The service is always friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is modern and lively, and the food! I can't even recommend one thing because ALL the food is amazing! Ok I'll recommend the tempura avocado tacos...and the quesabirria...and everything on the menu!
Needed a pallet cleanser after all the thanksgiving and this honestly hit the spot. Let's get straight to it: The menu is overall pretty pricy and appetizers aren't that big to share aside from the nachos. The street corn was small it's considered an appetizer but it's just one small corn on the cob which we requested to cut in half but it was very flavorful and would order again. The entrees was 16 for 3 tacos and a small side. Seems kinda expensive but when I got them they were jam packed with meat which I really appreciate. The ramen was way too salty to my liking but the wife kinda enjoyed it, but she said she wouldn't get it again. Again was a huge portion. I had to dress my own tacos because all the condiments, pico, hot sauce, all came on the side which I guess helps out the picky eaters haha. I believe we will be back
Good food, good service, nice ambiance. Everything was plated nicely. The staff was friendly and fast and the food was delicious. Definitely would go back.
Tried and true, this place hits all of the marks! The service is spectacular with people who care about your satisfaction! Caroline, Maria, Fabian, Brandon and others are the very Best! Good people, good conversation and good "service"! No matter what I order, it is served hot and to perfection. Order for your own dietary needs and they will accommodate. The ambiance is vibrant, musical and engaging. Practice your Spanish and they are welcoming of your learning curve. It is a family friendly, family oriented restaurant and know that you will feel at home. We get our "passports" out and drive 30-40 minutes several times monthly for this wonderful lil neighborhood spot! See ya there!
Had a lovely weekend visit to Blue Habanero for the first time. The atmosphere was great with colorful art and a clean and open floor plan. The music was a tad too loud like most restaurants in the area. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable with solid recommendations for my drink and food choices. I had the spicy tamarindo mezcalrita and we both got taco plates. I ordered the short rib tacos on the recommendation and they were delicious. Very cheesy and filling. We also ordered the shrimp tacos that were delicious too. Our "spicy veggies" on the side turned out to be calabacitas which would be nice if they would have just called it that. My partner is not a fan of squash usually but they were good and definitely very spicy! My only complaint is that I wish it were easier to try different tacos or just order them a la carte.
Date Night...Great meal. @bluehabanero_cleveland Second visit and as great as first visit. Tinga Chicken Tacos, Carne Asado Tacos, Mexican Street Corn, Chip with salsa, queso and fresh guacamole.
