A very cool little spot! I really enjoyed the decor, and the restaurant itself has great seating available.

I ordered the birria tacos, and they were great. They were covered in sauce and pack to the brim. Amazing taste, served hot, and you can tell they make everything from scratch.

The real superstar was my waitress. She seemed to be the only one working and she was killing it! I had absolutely no problems with my service despite the large number of customers she was having to cater to.

I did find 16 dollars for the tacos to be a little on the expensive side, but I understand D.C is an expensive city. Happy to support a small business!

The best meal EVER. Everything was so delicious. I definitely recommend the signature Habanero cocktail with mescal, as well as the Camarones Enchipotlados. Great service as well 🙂

It took a while for the server to come over but overall everything was great. I ordered from the happy hour menu and got the taco trio and habanero sangria (not spicy, just named after the restaurant). Both were very tasty. I went around 5 and it was pretty chill in there. Great vibes and good music. Will go back again soon.

I have been there three times. The first time I had the goat and the octopus tacos both were amazing and unique, though I thought the goat was a little dry. The second time I sat down and had a sumptuous and delicious fajita. And a wonderful margaritaNo complaints there. The last time my partner and I were starving coming back from a late event they squeeze us in with 15 minutes before closing and provided us with the most delicious shrimp and salmon tacos, which melted in our mouth, I have to say that Taqueria habanero is the gold standard when it comes to Tacos.

Such a reliable, cozy and delicious spot to always return to. The freshly made tortillas are always to die for and the salsas are delicious. I love the hongos and nopales tacos, they’re the ones I always end up going back for. All of the food is great, there’s never been something I’ve been disappointed by. I also always go back for their agua fresca.

One of my favorite spots — I’ve been coming here for years, and the food just keeps getting better. Every bite tastes like it came straight from Mexico City. The tacos al pastor are incredible — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the handmade tortillas? Absolute perfection!

The guacamole is always fresh, the salsas have that perfect balance of spice and tang, and their margaritas are the best way to top it all off. You can taste the authenticity and love in every dish — nothing feels rushed or commercialized, just real Mexican cooking done right.

The staff are always warm, friendly, and quick to make you feel at home. Even when the place is busy (which it often is!), they handle everything with a smile. It’s the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into loyal regulars — just like me!

OMG!!!! Everything at Taqueria Habanero was beyond delicious! I couldn’t even take many photos because we were too busy inhaling all the food. I tried the pulpo, lengua, camarón, and nopal tacos—every single one was insane! Then came the camarones enchipotlados… ufff, absolutely mouthwatering!

We also ordered plantains, guacamole, and chips, and everything was excellent. To top it all off, I had the habanero margarita—highly, highly recommended!

Special shoutout to Carolina, our waitress—she was amazing, so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Taqueria Habanero is a must-visit if you love authentic, flavorful Mexican food!

I came to this place to try the grasshopper taco. If you’re brave enough you may as well try it, as places that have it on their menu are few and far in between. I wound up trying five different tacos: grasshopper, al pastor, goat, mushroom, and beef tongue. Beef tongue is another one of those ingredients that some people may be timid about. If you didn’t know what it was you would think it’s just some good veal – so try it! All of the tacos were good. I don’t think that they were under-seasoned, but if you do you could always pour on the red and/or green salsa that they provide. Really nice, fresh salsas they have. They give you complimentary chips and salsa, and more complimentary salsa for your order. They’ll likely offer it to you, but if they don’t then just ask. All of the staff that I encountered were friendly. I like the atmosphere there; cool theme and choice of decor.
