A necessary update, because most of these reviews are outdated from the days of previous ownership. Billy's is under new ownership and things are amazing now. They have kept the original spirit of this place, the place where my parents went on there first date in 1987. The new owners have brought things back to the roots that made this place a hot spot back in the day. They are using high quality ingredients and keeping the customers first again! I live in metro Detroit and came here recently on a trip back home with my parents on a Friday night. The crowd was lively and nearly every table was full. We ordered the famous margaritas and nachos. The margs were great and very reasonably priced. BUT THE NACHOS. I love Mexican food and eat it at least once a week. BUT THESE NACHOS are the best I've ever had.(ask for the crushed jalapeños for an extra kick) Upon further investigation I found that they use quality ground beef from a local butcher and real cheese. I ended up eating way too much. Kudos to the ladies in the kitchen. They nailed it. Tracy, one of the owners was there and was super friendly. Our server was fantastic. Even the owners mom makes pies daily! This is the kind of place you can only find in a small town, where every single person involved in the business takes pride in what they are doing. Whether you are just passing through on US 30, or live in one of the local communities, I recommend you rediscover Billy's. It's as good or even better as back in the day!

It's like eating a meal with your family. I just love it here. There is a small market area inside as well with Mexican breads which are great with your coffee. Tamales in the fridge. And, banana leaves in the freezer. I had looked all over for banana leaves. They need a larger place to accommodate those who frequent here for food and the great environment. They deserve one too. :)

My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

This restaurant has changed hands several times, over the years. The current owners seem to have…read morefinally got it right! My wife, granddaughter, and I visited on 28 March 2016. We really enjoyed the food, service, and the surroundings. Fiesta Habanero's Mexican Grill offers four daily specials of $1 off: two lunch items & two dinner items. I ordered two soft beef tacos, rice & beans, and a side of warm soft tortillas. To eat the rice & beans, I tear off pieces of the warm tortillas and scoop up a little of each. This makes for a great taste of traditional Mexico, as taught to me by my late Uncle Ralph Grennay. Uncle Ralph could trace his ancestry back to Mexico, in the days (c1864) that the French supported Emperor Maximilian (an Austrian), and his efforts to overthrow the Republic under President Benito Juárez. (Apologies for the short history reminder.) The beans and rice were excellent. Not greasy or dry, and the flavor was just right for me. They served enough for a meal, for me, but I wanted to try the tacos while they were still fresh. The tacos were great. Just the right amount of ingredients, including the white Mexican cheese which provided its own melty goodness to this handful of great flavor. The veggies added to the flavor and texture without appearing to be "filler" so the owner can skimp on the meat, like so many places do. The beef was very tasty and not overly seasoned, nor was it greasy. One of the best tacos I have had, in my remembering. I had to take the second taco home for later. I heated it, open-faced, in the microwave, which often destroys tacos. This rewarming was not bad, as microwave leftovers go, but eating the fresh taco, at the restaurant was definitely the preferred method. The staff presented a friendly atmosphere, and were very helpful. They brought us our order in good time, and it was correct the first time. My family and I recommend Fiesta Habanero's Mexican Grill, and we will be returning to try their other offering. (I believe they open every work day at 1100, but I did not notice their closing hours.)

I was taken back by the complimentary chips and salsa for round one but anything after that would be charged. I've never had that happen before. It was clean and had plenty of staff ready to wait on you. Very speedy service.
