    Good food but they have now added a 4% surcharge just to use your debit card. We won't be back.

I lived nearly half my life in Arizona and California, where they know how to make good Mexican food. The food at Habanero was the blandest Mexican food I have ever encountered. Located in an industrial district, I wasn't too surprised when I pulled up after 7 one evening and it was fairly quiet. "Probably does most of its business during lunches," I thought. The hostess greeted me quickly and, when I asked if they had a bar area, she ushered me to it and I took a seat at the bar. I should probably have taken a clue from the fact that dirty glasses were clustered at the end of the bar, and there were neither bartender nor other patrons in sight. The other dinner patrons were in the dining room. Chips and salsa came quickly, followed by my bartender who took my order for a house Margarita, on the rocks. "Would you like salt or sugar with that?" should have been my second clue. Sugar? On a Margarita? The chips needed salt, but fair enough. Lots of people are watching their salt, and that was easily remedied. The salsa, though, tasted more like pureed tomatoes, lacking any kind of discernable heat. Strike one. The Margarita was also a disappointment: watery and weak. Though she poured the mix from a jug, it's not uncommon to prepare a large batch of mix early in the day and add tequila just before service, but that was not the issue here. Flavor and any punch from the tequila were conspicuously absent. Strike two. For my solid food, I ordered a chili relleno, my litmus test of a good Mexican place. While delivered quickly and piping hot temperature-wise, the sauce had an unusual sweetness to it while the poblano pepper had no. Heat. Whatsoever. Strike three. When I stood up, signaling that I was ready to leave, the server simply said, "You're ready for your check?" My Margarita was only about one-third gone, and I'd only taken a few bites of my relleno. An astute restaurant professional would have noticed that very little had been eaten and would have asked if everything was all right. It wasn't, but they either didn't notice or knew not to ask. A good four- or five-star experience - even after a single visit - will encourage repeat visits and a positive review will encourage others to try the establishment. A one-star experience, especially when it's the first visit, will not inspire the patron to give the place a second chance, and a review based on that single experience will likely have a chilling effect. Sorry to be "that guy," but I won't be back.

Arrived about noon on a Wednesday and was promptly greeted, seated, told the specials, and brought my beverage. I've never been here, but come through every 8-10 weeks. This will be my go to. I asked my servers favorite. She liked a couple things but her face lit up about the Poblano Salad. So, I ordered it. Basically a flash fried flour tortilla bent to hold everything like a big taco. Filled with lettuce, artery clogging cheese sauce, grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp, grilled onions and bell peppers, tomatoes, sour cream, and I added guacamole for a dollar. Yummers! The restaurant slowly filled up and people were all quickly tended to and their food arrived quickly as well. Free wifi is a bonus. Happy to find a non chain, with tasty food, helpful and quick staff, and a clean atmosphere. They even had 12 and 8 tops set so they can accommodate groups, too! It's in a little plaza next to a Pizza Hut.

He asked me if I wanted a 2nd beer, I said yes and never saw it. Through the entire meal, we also had the joy of listening to their small child walking through the dinning room yelling. We try to support a local business and got treated like we were crap. When I pay the bill, I tell the person about my experience and all I get was "Have a good night". Wasted $65.

They feature some unique items on their menu, and everything I have ever tried has been delicious. My favorite is the veggie quesadilla, it is very different than the average quesadilla that is served at other Mexican restaurants. I always order the platter that comes with rice and beans, because both are excellent. The red sauce has heat but is very flavorful. I always order extra red sauce to take home. If you don't care for hot sauces but enjoy flavor you can mix a little sour cream into the red sauce to make it milder. Service is always friendly and helpful. Tortas Johann is the best reason to visit Kokomo!

It was way too cold in there today. The wall thermostat said 75 but that couldn't be accurate. Service was fast. Mom got the shrimp fajitas and loved them. We got a beef chimichanga and cheesy chicken breast. That chicken breast swimming in a piping hot skillet of queso was phenomenal! They served everything with black beans and rice along with guacamole and sour cream. We spoke to the server later and he said they do have the refried beans on request. I love all beans but I will likely ask for the refried next time. They margaritas were well worth the money. If you want a stiff drink that's the one to order. I am not a big salsa person but even I could tell theirs was on the watery side. No big deal to us but a lot of people love salsa and I don't think this one will win any awards. I got a Coke to drink and it was terrible. This seems to be common place anymore as Coke and Pepsi don't go out and service the machines like they used to. So I am not sure who to fault for that. This place is heavy on breakfast so if you're looking for that then they got it. They also have lunch specials every day 11-3 we went for the all in dinner menu. We will definitely be back!
