I love habanero the food is always so good! Like really home cooked feel, plus the atmosphere and customer service is incredible, it’s an easy walk from the train station and whenever I am in the area I have to pick something up

This place was super cute and in a great food hall surrounded by other awesome places to check out! The person who took our order was super friendly and helpful and even threw in some extra tortilla chips and salsa (and I’m not a salsa person but these were some of the best chips I’ve ever had- I’d totally come back for them). I had the curly fries, which were good but the flavors were a bit muted so they weren’t my favorite. The street corn however was INCREDIBLE! The first few bites had a bit of a spicy kick and the rest was absolutely delicious especially once you add a squeeze of lime! It probably ruined street corn for me because other versions just won’t hold a candle to this!

Wow! This place is fantastic! The frozen Habanero Mango margaritas are spicy and sweet and have a kick! It is hard to find the flavors like the restaurants in Mexico serve, but here.... Yes it’s all here! Friendly staff and patrons. Worth the visit!

Taqueria Habanero is hands down one of the best Mexican spots I’ve been to in a long time. The food is bursting with authentic flavor—fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The tacos are a must (especially the al pastor and carne asada), and the handmade tortillas make all the difference. Service was friendly and fast, and the vibe is casual but welcoming. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Their guac is to die for! It is always worth a drive from VA to DC for this! Whether you're a taco fanatic or just craving great Mexican food, this place is worth the trip. I’ll always be a loyal customer!
