Best Tacos Period!. I have drove past Habenero’s for a couple of years wanting to give this place a try and today I finally stopped, it did not disappoint. I had the ground beef and beef tongue tacos, perhaps….no…absolutely the best tacos I have ever had. If you have not tried this place and you are close it is a must stop!
Best Mexican food out there for a fair price and vastly superior to chipotle, moes, or any other restaurant servin similar food.
Taco Truck Taste in RVA. Habanero’s is the closest that Richmond comes to an authentic west coast Taco truck. There’s really no ambience as the place is the size of your kitchen, and no waitress service to speak of, but the food is just too damn good to ignore. If this place does something as well as the west coast, it is their tacos. Loads of variety, lovingly poured into fresh corn tortillas. I often drive by a Taco Bell and ask myself – What are these people thinking when they can have food that is so much better tasting than that for close to what it is costing them to eat there? And can we stop calling Taco Bell mexican food? If you want mexican food, not laced with cheese, sour cream and needless condiments, then a place like Habanero’s is right up your alley. The shrimp tacos are LOADED with shrimp, the chicken and beef dishes are perfectly seasoned, and the tilapia in the fish tacos is grilled and tender. I know some consider fried fish to be more authentic, but I prefer the grilled stuff. Habaneros is mostly takeout, and we were well fed and satisfied for less than thirty dollars as a family of four. That’s pretty darn good, and we are sure to return. I only hope that maybe they have enough guts to expand or to take on some of the vacated space next door as this is really cramped quarters for such a decent product. And don’t let the name scare you, as you can have it spicy as you want it.
Authentic Yumminess. They have a food truck in Richmond too but just know it has a LIMITED menu. I think it is just tacos and burritos. The actual place is small with cramped seating. Plan for your order to go but everyone should still visit this place! The tacos, tamales and burritos are delicious! The lady who was taking my order had to pause a couple of time to understand my horrific non-hispanic pronounciation of all the food BUT that made it all the better. You can’t get any more authentic than that. Below is a description of the food my husband and I had:Carne Asada Burrito: Huge, meaty, delicious with the works. Chicken Tamales: This has a very SPICY green tomatillo sauce. If you are a spicy food lover, you will absolutely enjoy this kick! Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Chicken and Tilapia Tacos: The chicken taco I had from their food truck was precooked so it was dry and flavorless. It will probably be fresh at this location. Move onto their delicious Al Pastor (marinated pork) and carne asada (steak). The Fish Taco looked yummier than it tasted and was pretty bland.Carne Asada Torta: It’s like a Mexican burger sub. We both enjoyed this and fell in love with the crisp, chewy bread.
I’ll overlook being bumped in line by an Hispanic regular customer because the tacos are the best I’ve tasted in Richmond. Decent horchata too. Don’t come here when you’re in a hurry though.
Too small for dinner. This is more of a Taco Shop with a few stools inside and a few patio tables outside. Didn’t stop to try the food since we were looking for a dinner restaurant.
