We arrived on Thursday night around 8 pm, and the parking was hit or miss. I had to circle the…read moreblock to find a spot, but it was pretty close once I did. I noticed the ice cream/yogurt spot nearby was hopping. There was a person asking for change outside the front door. We were greeted by an enthusiastic host and seated immediately at a booth up front. The server came by within seconds and brought us water and place settings. We decided to get the chips and salsa for an appetizer and a pair of melting chimichangas for entrees. I can't resist some chorizo and steak. My partner got the chimichanga without chorizo and with chicken. The ambiance was colorful with beautifully painted murals on each wall, and the atmosphere was undeniably loud. There were lots of patrons. The place was packed, even at the bar, so your mileage may vary. We received our orders within minutes of each other, so there wasn't much of a wait time. The chips and salsa were homemade, fresh, warm, and delicious (muy rico). Same for the entrees; exactly what I want in a Mexican food restaurant. The chorizo and steak were well-cooked, seasoned, and chopped finely, but not ground. I was in heaven with that chimichanga. We had to take home leftovers. The next night, heated in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes, they were similarly excellent. The night ended without dessert, sadly (too full). However, the server was quick and efficient, and he was always around to fill water and bring anything we needed throughout the meal. Great experience overall. We will definitely return here whenever we have a hankering for some good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I can recommend this place to anyone who appreciates hearty and filling Mexican food.

Blue Habanero is a Mexican restaurant near Scoop on Strawberry St. in Richmond. There's free street…read moreparking in front of the restaurant and street parking nearby. The ambiance can be described as eclectic and casual. It's great for big groups and relaxed lunches. There's a variety of menu options for food and drink. Our server was nice, but she didn't really answer our questions about the menu or substitutions, which was a little inconvenient. Also, we kept having to ask for utensils and napkins, which made our food get a bit cold. The pineapple habanero margarita tasted like spicy pineapple juice and was pretty expensive. It was pretty, but not worth the money. The food also was really average, but the portion sizes were good for sharing. The huitlacoche tacos were a little bland and soggy, the chicken chipotle tacos had a good sauce but were also soggy and the fajitas did not have enough seasoning. Not a restaurant that I would come back to, but I liked it's proximity to other dessert places nearby.

I ordered a margarita and they didn't provide or offer water on the side. I grew up with California burritos which have French fries, carne asada, veggies, and cheese. The restaurant offers a burrito California which seems to be just a burrito with avocado. Obviously not the same. I ordered the chile Colorado burrito which can be described as a saucy taquito dosed in cheese with rice and pico on the side. How I would rank the burrito - Meh How i would rank the drink - not bad How would I rank service- middle of the road. The waitress pretty much asked me as I'm sitting down what I would like to drink. This is fine if I'm a regular that dines here often but this the first time for me. I honestly can't see a difference from other Mexican restaurants in this area.

The waitress (Camra?) was super nice and thoughtfully visited both ends of the table to get the orders correct. The gang started with some gorgeous creative cocktails. I had a lovely mint tea (hot, Tazo). We shared guacamole which certainly has a kick! The chips were crispy, thicker and prefect for the dip and tasting the trio of sauces. The regulars highly recommended the tacos and the sides. I had the broccoli; crisp, partly blackened, a bit light on the seasoning but blossomed with the darkest red sauce. The rare taco, amazing, truly rare. Seared on one side, the seared side very spicy. I had the beet salad side. Small cubes of beets in a creative sauce. A friend had the sweet potato and that was magnificently spiced! I must go back and try more!

My waiter was pleasant and attentive. Given the loud space he probably heard my order wrong. For appetizer I asked for the carne apache but the scallops showed up. He offered to remedy it right away. I was curious about chocolate salsa macha and I like the flavorful oil and crunchy chocolate chips. The texture of the beef is chewier than I'd like but it was good with the chips. Next I had the trout. It was pink almost like salmon. I love that it was not over cooked so it was tender and flaky. I particularly enjoyed the cauliflower and mushrooms in the sauce. Definitely cleaned the plate. Ended the meal with a unique flan over flourless cake. It was not too sweet, even though I would've been happy with just flan. It was a very nice experience and change of scene from a long day at work.
