The place is intimate and welcoming with tons to look at on the walls! Again, the music was great, while waiting for our food my son and I were having a blast dancing in the waiting seats. My review is more-so a 4.5, but only because the food was not quite to my tastes as far as Mexican food. I had super high hopes for this place because it looks EXACTLY like one of my all time favorite Mexican spots so I ordered my usual -- cheese enchiladas, a crispy taco and salsa. I also ordered a green veggie burrito and a soft carne asada taco for my son. The parts I enjoyed were the salsa and chips-- they paired very well together and I thought the salsa (and hot sauce) both had good flavor. The salsa isn't spicy, but the hot sauce had a good little kick. The crispy beef tacos were good, especially with the salsa . The enchiladas didn't do it for me... that's usually how I judge a place on if I like them, but I didn't really enjoy the sauce on them like I hoped. They weren't bad but just not what I wanted. The veggie burrito was a little odd... it had an interesting flavor and they chose veggies that I rarely have seen in Mexican food (squash, zucchini, etc). I'd definitely come back for certain things or if I want some decent chips and salsa... I'd come back for the atmosphere and try more tacos and some of their adult beverages! If you're lucky enough to have Pato helping you, you'll be well taken care of!

I drive a small car and literally didn't fit in the space on the lines on both sides. Came in and waited for our turn at the counter. Ordered and paid for our food. My girlfriend ordered a bacon and avocado cheeseburger special, I ordered French toast combo. Paid by credit card and was handed cups for our drinks. I wasn't given a receipt or a number for the table. Filled our drinks and sat down. My food came out about 10 minutes later. Then the cashier came back to the table with an omelet for my girlfriend. We told her that she ordered a bacon and avocado cheeseburger. So the server took the omelet back. A couple of minutes later she brought over a hamburger and fries. My girlfriend asked for ketchup and we were directed to the area next to the drink dispenser. I got up and went to get my girlfriend some ketchup and when I was returning to the table my girlfriend was approaching the counter. It turned out that the burger didn't have bacon. She let the cashier/server know. The cashier returned a minute or two later with the correct burger and took the other one away. It's worth noting that the restaurant was about 1/4 full. Credit to the cashier/server, she was apparently the only person working the front of the house. Taking orders, delivering food to the diners, and cleaning up. Overall a disappointing experience. We probably won't return. Prices were reasonable, the food was fine, but the mistakes on my girlfriend's order were off putting.

I had the Shack Burger - the patty was nicely sized in a very soft bun. Even the basic grilled cheese was very delicious and satisfying. Their parmesan garlic fries were also good especially the dipping sauce. The service is consistently great whether you dine in or take out. Ordering is easy via self-service kiosks. The burger place is spacious for a burger joint. While prices run higher than standard fast-food chains, the quality makes it completely worth it for me. Downside: Parking can be hectic.

After a very long conference day, we wanted to bring in a casual Mexican dinner for about 20 people to enjoy together in the hotel lobby -- and Harbor Mexican Cafe was perfect! We ordered four platters: two sampler platters, a taco platter, and a burrito platter, plus extra rice and beans. Depending on the platter, they also came with chips and salsa, rice and beans, and salad. There was plenty of variety for our group, and the food was wonderful -- authentic, flavorful Mexican food, not the typical chain-restaurant version. The staff was fantastic from beginning to end. It was easy to place our large order over the phone, everything was ready right on time, and it was packaged extremely well for us to transport back to the hotel. Our team loved the meal, and I would absolutely recommend Harbor Mexican Cafe whether you're stopping in to eat at their small restaurant or ordering food for a group or event. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I stopped by again on my way home today to grab a to-go order for myself to enjoy when I get home! Great food, great staff, and a wonderful experience all around. We'll definitely remember this place the next time we're in La Habra! UPDATE 1 day later - UPDATE: I'm sitting at home enjoying my leftovers from Harbor Mexican Cafe the next day, and they are STILL absolutely delicious! Seriously -- these folks know how to cook authentic Mexican food. I live about 90 minutes away, and I'm already thinking I may need to make the drive back in the near future just to enjoy their food again. It's THAT good! If you're anywhere near La Habra, do yourself a favor and give Harbor Mexican Cafe a try. So, so good!

Harbor Mexican Cafe is one of those little places that feels like it's been there forever, but not…read morein a rundown or dated way. It's actually quite contemporary inside, just in a way that feels like it understands exactly what it needs to be. It's quaint, colorful, and thankfully not the kind of giant Mexican restaurant where three mariachi guys materialize six feet from your table and lock eyes with you just as you're attempting to take a bite of an enchilada There are maybe a dozen tables inside, which honestly adds to the charm. It's comfortable, Service has been good every time I've been in, and there's a small selection of Mexican beers and a couple of margaritas if you're so inclined. There are also plenty of things on the menu that look really good, but I have a hard time straying too far from my favorites. What can I say? I love cheese. As for the food, I've had the enchiladas and the chile rellenos, and both have been really good. Nothing gimmicky, Just solid Mexican food, done well, in a little neighborhood spot that seems perfectly happy being exactly what it is. Sometimes that's all you really need. And honestly, it's pretty nice.

The food was just as delicious as usual. all sides and sauces in bag. And, usually since i have to go pick up food, i have a drink or two while i wait. They were not judgmental at all like many places are. Im a busy parent, i dont have time to sit and enjoy myself. Im taking food back to the fam. Anyway, The server who i think may have been a manager or owner was extremely friendly, and talked to me while i had my drinks while waiting for food. Got home and everyone enjoyed their food! Which is great, many times take out for some reason is nowhere near as good, but the food was just as delicious as we remembered. Very friendly, delicious place.

This was my second time visiting HEU, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place! I don't live…read morenearby, but I was in the area for a client and needed to kill some time and was hungry. I was originally looking for a burger joint, and HEU happened to catch my eye. On my first visit, I ordered a burger since it was Tuesday, they have a burger special, but I couldn't resist adding a couple of tacos because I love good Mexican food! The burger was delicious, the fries were cooked perfectly, and the tacos were absolutely bomb! I tried both the asada and chicken, and they did not disappoint. On my second visit, I went with the 3-taco combo, and once again, I was happy with my choice! Service is awesome people have been friendly both visits. Second visit place was busy I sat in the corner waiting for my food next thing I know the nice lady that took my order is bringing my food to my table. Almost forgot very nice salsa bar even though place was busy on second visit salsa bar is neat and clean, fresh and well stocked. Love the ravanos (radishes) for the gringos It's always nice finding a spot that's worth coming back to, especially when you're not even from the area. Great food and definitely a place I'll come back to whenever I'm nearby. Glad I found HEU!

Hamburgers El Unico has been on my list to try ever since they opened up less than a year ago…read more I walked in this afternoon and there was one party eating and one person waiting for their takeout order. I waited at the counter for a minute and was helped right away. Here's what I ordered: **3 Taco Combo: I opted to get asada, pastor, and cabeza for my tacos. The asada was seasoned well with good flavor. The pastor was on the drier side but still had good flavor. The cabeza was surprisingly not as salty as I've had before and tasted great as well. The rice was not the best but the beans were fairly decent. The tacos are quite small but it's served hot and fresh. (5/5) **Asada Burrito: Delicious filled burrito. Didn't take a picture because I devoured it before I could. There's a ton of rice inside but he asada portion was large. (5/5) **Agua Fresca (Jamaica):Very solid jamaica. It had the perfect balance of sweet to tart. The ice level was also very low so the drink did not taste watered down to the last drop. (5/5) Every order comes with a pepper and grilled onions. I had also ordered a separate order of 3 asada tacos and that also came with the pepper and grilled onions which was a surprise. The best thing about this place is their salsa bar and how clean it is. The salsa bar is covered with a lid for customers to pull up when they need to use it. There's plenty of containers and baggies to fill up with your favorite condiments. I tried all 4 salsa selections and my two favorites were your standard salsa roja and verde. The radishes and lime were also very fresh. These prices are the best bang-for-your-buck. Tacos at less than $2 each and combo plates running just under $10 is insane in this economy. Keep in mind that they offer a cash discount which I will be utilizing next time around. The service is great. Place is spotless. Plenty of parking available in this little strip mall filled with several other businesses. I will 100% be back to try more of their menu including their burgers!
