As always great food, service, and cozy feel. We have been coming here since the opened and we will be back!

Food and service were really good. I came in a bit late and the staff were very accommodating.

My partner and I were about to get Chipotle and decided on going here instead. We live in the area, we're never going anywhere else - this place was so good and the prices were great. The service was quick and friendly, chips and salsa when we got seated, and it's really cute inside. Definitely coming back read more

I'd heard good things about this restaurant and stopped in for dinner. Overall, i think the best part was the price. This felt like early 2000s pricing, and the food was decent. I wouldn't place this as the best Mexican food in the valley, but it's definitely reasonable especially at the price point and quantity. The restaurant itself is designed like a very classic decor, and there is enough seating for decent sized parties. It was pretty surprising how quickly the food came out. Our waitress was friendly and prompt with her service and we had a great experience. read more

Waitress is very cordial and efficient. She is always happy to stop and answer questions, even when busy. I frequent this place so much that she always brings my beverage with the chips and salsa. Attention to details. I have seen others come in and she asks them if they want their regular ad within 10 minutes it was on his table. I am so confident in getting good service and tasty food that out of town guests always get at least one meal while in town. One associate begs to return everyday she is here. No problem , unless others want a change of pace and then we discuss other flavors. They will be even more busy as a lube center is going up next door. read more

Food is always tasty and large portions. It is nice to find a restaurant that excels at customer service and serves food hot. Drinks were always kept full. Nice quaint cafe style restaurant. Seats are getting well worn but I am confident they will address this as they have the hygiene. Very good place to find a hot meal. read more

23 years in business, and the food just keeps getting better! I live far away from this restaurant, now, so I don't have the opportunity to eat there much anymore my travels took me close by, and I couldn't resist. Not only was this amazing, but the service was excellent. kudos to Veronica, an ageless beauty and excellent hostess. If you are anywhere close by, don't miss out on the habanero experience. read more

El Habanero is a neighborhood treat for Magna. The service is always good, food is always good and consistent in quality and flavor. Ambiance is family oriented, small and quaint. Today I had the shrimp in Diablo sauce, which is spicy and sweet with some corn tortillas. For the price of a few bucks more than the average fast food lunch I got chips and salsa before lunch that come free with every meal and a very nice portion of my meal with rice and beans that will also feed me dinner! So it's a great price for the quality of food and portions you get and it beats fast food any day! read more

El Habanero - Camarones a la Diablo - Mexican Near Me - Magna, Utah

I'm not happy that I have to write a bad review, but this is unfortunately necessary, I'll start off that the only reason I'm even giving this 2 stars instead of one, is that the employees were kind and attentive. The food unfortunately was a 1/5. My wife and I both got chimichangas with steak. They were very small, and very thin. There was hardly anything in them. There had to have only been a few small pieces of steak in them. What's more is, when we got the bill, we were surprised to find out that steak is an additional $5 each. No one bothered to mention this as we had assumed that steak was one of the options. Overall, for two meals, we spent $50 and I've never been so unhappy spending $50 for dinner. It's FAR too expensive for what was received. If it was half that price, I could see giving them 3 stars. read more

This place has some of the absolute best Mexican food around. I am travel to Utah every month and my team relentlessly always picks El Habanero as the lunch location. The customer service is top notch and you can tell they put passion into every dish they make. Highly recommend this location. It's a small little location so if you're not paying attention you will miss it! read more

Excellent food and caring staff I highly recommend this place Big portions and family style food read more

I came at lunch and had some enchiladas. Chips and salsa came out first, and the chips are a bit thicker than other places, but very good. The waiter was friendly and attentive and the place is clean and nice. I like that they have a few different things on the menu that you won't find at other restaurants. read more

Great!! The service was very good and friendly. Nice authentic Mexican feel and delicious food. I was impressed by the quantity of food at a very reasonable price. Other places are so over priced these days. I would recommend read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Was told this was the place to go and it's not. Food is bland and their chips and salsa were tomato soup, very watery. Staff very friendly and nice but that's it! read more

Food was great me and the wife enjoyed it. We did take out. The employees there are super nice and friendly. We will be back.

One of my favorite local dives for a Tex-Mex meal, this place has actors such as Danny Glover who has stopped by. If you can't park up front, no worries, there is parking in the back! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the portion sizes are great and the food is cheaply priced for the quality you get! I will say that it only misses out on the last star because it just needs minor updates in the dining room. If you're more concerned with the food, then go! read more

Skip this place for food. Go to Taco Bell, Rancharitos, Rancho Market, or any one of the various food trucks nearby in Magna Utah. Staff is friendly However if you want a place to sit down for a few beers and a side of something to go with it, then this is your spot. read more

You wanna talk about a hole in the wall. ?!?!?! Sheesh.. I passed this establishment 3x !! It honestly looks like a little house or a donut shop, then you walk in.. full blown restaurant and quite nice too.. The flavors were legit !! The deco definitely gives authentic feel of when dining in.. Will not disappoint read more

I have been coming here for 23 years, since the day they opened, and it has always been a pleasure. The food is always on point, service is always amazing and the atmosphere is clean and friendly read more

Their food is always great! Very friendly! We're so happy to have this restaurant nearby. We eat there frequently.

Food was actually really good, and the food was made fast. The waitress was very nice.... however when you first walk in it smelled like a sewer (even my 8yo daughter noticed the bad smell). Thankfully the bathrooms are at the front and couldn't smell it where we sat... but it was gross enough it could cause you to loose your appetite. Thankful it wasnt busy, so we didnt have to wait up there to be seated... Does make me nervous about what the kitchen is kept like... over all cute lil Mexican restaurant. We live off 1300e & were only over there dropping something off at my brother in laws.. Not sure if I'd go back... unless that smell was resolved. read more

El Habanero - Ordered the #1 with sprite & side Avocado for $15 and some change. Great deal, split it with this cutie & Avocado was for my lil babe. - Mexican Near Me - Magna, Utah

Love this place for a small more authentic Mexican food than you get at the other restaurants on the Wasatsh Front. The salsa is some of the very best around. The family that runs the place makes you feel welcome like you were invited over for a family dinner. The prices are more than reasonable reflecting a great value for the dollar. The place is small so during peak times there might be a little wait but it's definitely worth it. read more

Great place and the food is fabulous, we eat there approximately 5 times a month and have never been disappointed...

Im not from salt lake but I ate here and the food is ok. I wouldn't call it authentic. It's more like Mexican food for people who are afraid of a real Mexican restaurant experience, and have never had real Mexican food. Nothing wrong with that. The service is awesome. The salsas are weak. There is a place for these type of restaurants. My Mexican family and friends would shun me if I ever took them there. read more

Food was delish, loved the chips and salsa. Chili Verde was great. I would highly recommend if you're in magnet to stop in. The service was top-notch. We will definitely be back. read more

Good service. The rice is hard and lukewarm. My husband liked the refried beans. The cheese enchiladas are good, but $6 for one so is way overpriced. read more

Great family owned, delicious food every time. You can't go wrong with the small or large combo platter.

Amazing food and service !!!!!! Smothered burritos are top notch. I used to go here as a kid and nothing has changed it has stayed consistent read more

So I had lunch today at this well known Magna staple. And I have to say I was not disappointed. I'm going to start by mentioning the service! It was phenomenal! Super friendly, kind and attentive. I was there for a business lunch/ meeting, and the balance between space and attention was perfect! I had a light lunch, taco salad, which I enjoyed, and my companion very much enjoyed the shrimp chimichanga which looked and smelled amazing. The home made chips were were perfectly crisp and salsa was full of flavor. I'm not from Mexico, so I can't speak to the authenticity. But I can attest to the excellent service! I enjoyed the food, but the service from door to door was exceptional! I will be back soon to try more dishes. read more

They are the best Mexican restaurant in the Salt Lake County. Their customer service is a five star rating. Stop by and tell Ray hello you will be back there. Chips and salsa are the best for me. That is what tells me how good their food is going to be. Try the habanero salsa you will love it. read more

Delicious! This Mexican restaurant has amazing service! And the food is so good! This place has a very welcoming and warm friendly environment. I definitely recommend this as a go to Mexican restaurant! Oh ya to top it off really good pricing. read more

My family has been coming here for years! It's always amazing! Amazing service Amazing people Amazing food! And we will keep coming here

The food is not good, the service is friendly but unobservant, and there are just better options for Mexican food. The chips are on point.

El Habanero is a family owned business that serves delicious Mexican food! Their service is very personal and seems like they go out of their way to serve everything you would like. Their street tacos are delicious! For years it was the only restaurant in town, but now it's still the best restaurant in town! read more

Great food. Outstanding service. Everyone in our party of three really liked their meal.
