Enchiladas with shredded chicken is amazing.. the red sauce is a must. Sweet little shop in the middle of Sunnyside, you'd never think you'd get awesome food tucked away in a cafe. A+++ read more

Mexican Brunch done well! This is a great neighborhood find! Customer service was fantastic! Our server Elizabeth was wonderful; so friendly and attentive! The Haab has a rather large menu. Something for everyone's craving! They also offer fresh made fruit drinks. But be warned: they seem to be a popular restaurant! On Sunday, we arrived around 11:30am and had to wait about 30 min for a table. They do offer a couple of tables for outdoor dining. On this visit, I ordered: -- Cantaloupe Soursop Juice ($5.50 small): this was so fresh and refreshing; not overly sweet. I originally wanted to order Horchata but it wasn't available this day. But this was a great substitute! -- Chilaquiles w.eggs & chorizo ($24): the chorizo was chopped up into small pieces and you can order the eggs prepared to your preference. It comes over a bed of tortilla chips and your choice of red or green sauce. I chose greens sauce, which was very good. I was hoping the tortilla chips would not all be soggy but they were. Still a great dish but just don't expect any crunchy tortilla chips. The Haab is definitely worth a return trip to try other menu items. read more

The Haab is a true hidden gem and exactly what you hope for in a small, family-owned restaurant. My boyfriend and I always come here whenever we're craving authentic, homemade Mexican food, and we almost always order the chilaquiles & the cafe de olla-- consistently delicious, comforting, and full of flavor, truly tasting like they're made with love. From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth and care behind everything they do. The staff is welcoming, the music is always great, and every visit honestly feels like a little escape to Mexico. It's the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local, mom-and-pop restaurants matters. We're so grateful to have found The Haab and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for heartfelt service, real homemade Mexican food, and a cozy, genuine atmosphere. read more

I randomly stumbled upon this small cozy Mexican Cafe. The Haab is just delightful with friendliest staff and delicious food. I wasn't sure what I wanted to order so it was recommended to try The Haab Grill Deluxe that includes their famous French toast , eggs, bacon , ham and sausage. It was delicious! The house coffee they offer is strong and with a kick! Loved their coffee! It is simple, welcoming cafe with great people and food. If you pass by you should stop by to pick up their coffee to go or sandwich. I will definitely come back! Cheerio! read more

Came here as it has been in the neighborhood for awhile and I never ate their food ever before and I've lived in the area for over a decade. I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise there was a lot of people in the restaurant. It felt like a local spot. The place has a few indoor seating, but not too much. It felt very eclectic the interior decorations. The food was alright, but the service was better. I ordered the steak & egg burrito which was good. The portion was huge so it definitely filled me up. The pico de gallo sauce is what made the food. I also ordered the special weekend drink which was really strong, it had a big bang for the buck. The tiramisu at the end for dessert wasn't bad either. I may or may not return depending upon my mood. read more

Great food and service.great local neighborhood joint. With a laid back chill ambiance.

The Habb is everything you want in an authentic Mexican breakfast. I will be a customer for life! The small kitchen sends out plates of love that you feel the moment you walk through the door. I think they are family owned and ran. My go to are the huevos mexicanas, can't go wrong with anything on the menu though. read more

A go-to spot for tasty Mexican food and drinks. I recommend their Aguas Frescas, always so delicious!! The tacos placeros, mole enchiladas, and tortas are my favorite. If you come on the weekend for brunch there may be a bit of a wait. But overall the staff is super friendly and attentive. read more

The Haab - Enchiladas de Mole Poblano - Mexican Near Me - Woodside, New York

Made our way here on a Friday afternoon for heated outdoor seating during brunch. Plenty of tables available in the enclosed heated section as we got a two-seater off to the side. Giant menu has all the favorites you'd expect with some brunch specials thrown in as well. Decided on the Carne Enchilada Torta ($11) to go along with a Bloody Mary ($5), and a Coffee ($2). Drinks come out first - a strong hit of spice in the bloody mary, but not overpowering. Torta is a well pressed, sandwiching layers of beef, cheese, salsa, and veggies. Super hearty and a wonderful balance of all flavors - no hot sauce necessary. Dish also comes with a handful of thin-cut fries, that are not overly salted. Server here is friendly and efficient, taking care of all the tables by herself. ?Will likely come back to try all the other stuff on the menu. read more

I've been in this place twice and they offer great mexican breakfast! Its located in a residential area in Queens. The place is cute with their colorful decor and I recommend going there early around 10am on weekends to get seated right away. I got carrot juice for drink and it was refreshing. I also tried their hot chocolate before and it was really good too. My bf got their coffee and they gave you a big jar of coffee. For food I ordered the french toast, it has strawberry, banana & blueberries. They put the sauce on the side that taste a little sweet and a little sour. I really enjoyed this food. The bread taste so good and not overwhelming. My bf got the omelette and side order of bacon. He enjoyed everything! Huge serving of food. Surely you'll be completely satisfied with the serving and taste! My new spot for brunch! read more

This my favorite breakfast spot on a rainy day, and they also have best coffee. Service is great and place is nice and authentic.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated and the prices risen very much, when I complained that the food was unacceptable they shrugged.. I left the food uneaten, tipped 20% and left. It's sad to be honest these guy were awesome a few years back ! read more

Love this place. One taco was big enough to fill my stomach and it was only $3.50! I tried the Chorizo-Chicken taco, which had everything I wanted: a spicy kick, cilantro, guac, well-seasoned chicken, and a taco holder. The Banana split waffle here is also amazing and not too sweet. I tried the Spinach omelette as well and it was good but also a taste you can find anywhere in any decent diner or cafe. Finally, the orange juice is a MUST here - it's so addicting! But while the other items on the menu are reasonably priced if not cheap, one orange juice (regular size) is about $5.50 and the large size is ~$10. Regardless, you must try! Most highly recommend. read more

Small local neighborhood business but big flavorful menu and attentive staff. Everything tastes so fresh, homemade and the portion size is large. I've had the huevos tapatios, the French toast with berries, the steak and rice burrito and Bellini/frozen margarita which give a mild but relaxing buzz. The menu is extensive and there is literally something to try for every palate/the pickiest eater. Pro tip on Sundays they don't accept card it's cash only but it's guaranteed flavorful food 7 days a week. read more

I was in a mood for Mexican breakfast. So I drove to this Woodside location with my mother and had a wonderful breakfast the owner/server was a treat to talk to. Extremely friendly, kind and considerate. I started with the huevos ranchero, a side of chorizo and some guacamole. It was served with rice and beans and a side of sauces. I wish they had something just a tad more spicy on the side of sauces. But it's good nonetheless. my mom ordered the pancakes which consisted of three giant pancakes and a side of crispy bacon. The side of orange juice was the size of a carafe quite large. I decided to bring home three tamales for my daughter. I look forward to trying their torts and other dishes. Much enjoyed, Thanks read more

So the first time I went here was for brunch last year. Between the brunch menu and the regular menu, there is plenty to choose from. We put in our order and proceeded to wait 45 MINUTES and our food still had not come. There were other tables (some coming in after us) that were getting food but after a few reminders to the waitress, still nothing and we were on a schedule. We ended up taking it to go because we couldn't deal with it. After reading reviews that were positive we decided to give it a try on a nice sunny day last week. The crowd was light since it was a Thursday afternoon and we sat in their outdoor seating area. The food we got was pretty good. Grilled tilapia tacos were delicious. Mushroom and pablano quesadilla was great. The chicken mole burrito was a little bland with a lot of rice. The waitress was lacking a little attention to us because we were outside but not as bad as the first time. We would go back again and definitely a great outdoor seating place! read more

Because I'm Haaby Clap along if you feel like a bloated Latin youth Because I'm Haaby Clap along if you have some egg yolk on your tooth Because I'm Haaby Clap along if you know what Haab food means to you Because I'm Haaby Clap along if you ordered the Huevos Tapatio Yes, it is that good, and yes, Pharell Williams would love this place. However, a warning: Haaby, Haaby, Haaby, Haaby Can't nothing... keep it down if you're too full Haaby, Haaby, Haaby, Haaby Can't nothing... keep it down if you're too full So stick to one Huevos Tapatios per person. Otherwise your tummy may hit "eject" faster than a kid in the 80s when they first popped a Culture Club album in their cassette player. What to get: Huevos Tapatios What else: Don't pretend you've tried it if you haven't. Come and try it Pharreal. I was wondering, is Pharell Williams married to Serena Williams? That would be quite a Power couple. I heard she likes N.E.R.D.s so it might work perfectly. The first date would be a little tennise at first but I think they'd make a really Happy couple. However her practicing her shots in the great hall of their mansion would not go well. She'd probably smash Sia's beloved chandelier. If she's going to do that, she'll need a room without a roof. This was one of the first stops on my most recent Queens food tour, and I came here because local CM Jando told me to. He actually instructed me to give it a try while I was still in bed. At his place. But that's just a rumour officially speaking and I don't want to confirm or deny it in public so please don't tell anyone. I came here thinking it was a Greek place. I was hoping to Haab an Gyro. Instead I ended up with a Haabanero. It blew my head off. Which I enjoyed thoroughly. Oh sorry I was talking about the girl I was with, not the pepper nor the food. The food here was very mild. It could Haab a little more spice and still not be too spicy. But if you want some utterly delicious Mexican fare, Haab a little read of my review and I think you'll be very Haaby that you did. I ordered the Huevos Tapatio like everyone told me to. It was *amaaaaaaazing*. It has bits of chorizo and has crispy tostada discs underneath. Greasy and wet and delicious. I didn't think I could like something with eggs and home fry-ish things this much as I'm not a breakfast person, but I absolutely do. It reminded me of a sort of Mexican-esque frittata or skillet of some sort, once it all mixed together, which is inevitable since it's such a crumbly and runny and greasy and juicy concoction. It is beautifully presented, and tastes even better than it looks (in that way, it's just like Jando). I forgot to take a pic until I was halfway through it, as you can see. But there are plenty of other pix where you can see it in all its glory. They're all over the internet for example. So are pix of my thingy, in case you're interested. They now have a location in Brooklyn and a proper restaurant with a different name elsewhere. But I'll always love this little adorable original better, in the heart of residential Sunnyside, a very quiet area that nobody really visits, in a little neighborhood I'd never been to, before I came here to Haab some Huevos. The service was amazing. I'm looking forward to coming back soon and trying different things. I wish we could Haab a place like this in Buffalo, I asked my Uncle if he thought Tapatio would be a good addition to Buffalo, and he said "I'll come and visit you soon, and you can Tap-a-tio as much as you want." I have no idea what he meant by that, but if you read my Uncle Gussy's review earlier today then you probably understand why I am now very, very afraid. I think I need to learn Karate or Tae Kwan Do to protect myself. Or I need to take Jando. I mean Judo. Typo. My Uncle is married to a girl named Ruth, so you'd think he'd leave me alone. But once she is out of sight, he starts up again. He never tries anything when she's in the room. But once she's gone... sometimes, he tells me to "clap along if I can feel it" in a room without a Ruth. read more

This part of Woodside / Sunnyside gets so little traffic, its more likely than not the only people that come to the Haab are locals. They're the lucky ones, as this is one of the hood's biggest gems, a small but delicious eatery offering comfort Mexican food and a brunch worthy of being among the best. The original in Williamsburg is good, but the Woodside location is easily their best of the two. Sitting on the corner of 48th Ave at the end of a string of Latin businesses, the Haab looks like a small cafe from the outside. There is usually a TV playing soccer games or Sabado Gigante (#1), and tables that can sit 14 people total. Along the rims of the window is a cascade of Jarrito bottles, paper ornaments hanging from the ceiling, and Mexican art along the walls making for some very interesting decor. The service is warm and friendly. While Spanish fare much better in these parts, rest assured the staff speaks English. Delivery is available, they take credit cards, and the most everything on the menu is good. That said, brunch for me is where its at. Try to score some of their tamales, which seem to be freshest in the morning. Huevos con chorizo (sausage) or nopales (cactus) are solid dishes, but the show stopper is definitely their huevos tapatios. An over easy egg on a bed of chorizo bits, on top of a crispy tostada. Combined with their famous chipotle mayo, the bite is a beautiful mess of runny egg yolk, spicy chorizo, finished with the crunch of the tostada, The end result is a foodgasm best experienced during any hungry morning / afternoon. For me, the Haab will remain one of the best spots to grab a casual bite in all of Sunnyside / Woodside. Delivery is quick, but the best experience to take it all in (the music, the service, the people, the *food*) is dine in house. The Haab has my corazon in a bad way. ___________ (#1) Que 'onda Don Francisco! read more

It's a nice divey and authentic type of Mexican place. Mom and pop shop at its finest. If this was located closer to the city instead of nowhere land, I'm sure this place will kill it. The Mexican corn was one of the best I had. Not drenched in crema fresca like other places. Grilled to perfection. He guac is fresh but it lacked salt and lime. I just ended up altering the flavor myself. The lettuce gives off a nice presentation but pretty annoying if you want to scrap the bowl clean. The steak quesadillas were recommended and it did look good but it was a little bit on the salty side. Also, the steak IMO wasn't seasoned with anything other than salt and pepper. One issue was the orange juice. $4 for a glass of OJ? The OJ cost as much as a taco? Now as I write this, I'm rather bothered by this place than impressed. This is not the single $ sign it deserves. It's more like $$. read more

Okay, so here comes an uncomfortable truth - The Haab is a good restaurant, but it's a bit boring. Before some frat bro goes in there and jumps on my spine (how dare you), let's have a dose of reality. Alright, so when it came to my evaluation of Mexican joints, I have 4 categories. On the very bottom is Taco Bell, or any eatery that serve deep fried saddles of corn slathered with shredded lettuce, mechanically separated meat slime, shredded cheddar and "picante salsa" pretending to be Mexican It has as much right to call itself Mexican as Panda Express have to Chinese food - you might enjoy it for its craptitude or low cost, but never associate it back to the country that it was ganked from, because that shit is foreign to them. Next category is what I call Gringo - the stuff they serve to bros in the Cancun all-inclusives (hey, I am in Mexico and this is what they are serving me, so it must be for real, right?). Huevos Rancheros with coffee on the side, or some kind of aquas frescas that works well in cocktail mixers. Maybe an Enchilada slathered with sour cream (not crema) and half a jar of Goya mole sauce. Abuletas (Mexican grandmas) will slap the shit out of you for that, and most of your Mexican friends will nod politely while laughing about it with their fellow Mexican friends. On the Chinese food scale it's a bit like eating at Mission Chinese or Hot Joy - it might borrow the right ideas, and it might taste great, but don't you dare think of it as suggestive of the cuisine it's borrowing from. The 3rd category is what I usually start with, and I'll call it the Barrio - the neighborhood joint in a Mexican neighborhood that is still rather gringo friendly - they have Tamarindos, flor de Jamaica and Horchatas in the Aquas frescas dispensers (usually off a syrup or a mix), and they got Postobon and Jarritos in the fridge. but they also got the real tacos (small tortilla, onions and cilantro, well flavored protein, choice of rojo or verde) and they know how to make a cemita or a torta sandwich. Solid good food, but it's not meant to challenge your boundaries. It's like ordering takeout from the local corner Chinese joint. It's hiding the regional variations from you, and you are not aware of how low a human will go to feed itself. It might be "authentic" in some sense, but it's a shallow knowledge. The next and final category is what I nickname the "Santeria". Here you start seeing the full breadth and depth of Mexican cooking, with ingredients for tacos like Buche (stomach), Suadero (flank steak), Oraje (ears), Chupalines (grasshoppers), Chivo (goat), flor de calabaza (squash flowers) and Huitlacoche (corn smut), all of those are exceeding delicious when prepared with fresh ingredients. Your establishment will offer up raw radish slices (to munch on) and fried dried chiles (because you need that), and you can get a bowl of pozole (hominy and pork soup, Aztec style with Rosemary) there. It's like going to a Cantonese seafood restaurant or a Szechuan joint in Flushing. You get offal and weird seafood in the menu, and often strange preparations (like pickling crab in Shaoxing wine) that tests your culinary meddle - you want full culinary immersion? This is about as close as it can get without the need for a passport. Think of the 4 categories as like experiencing Mexican food in a Midwest shopping mall food court, the local Chipotle's, the local Mexican joint in Ridgewood/Greenpoint/Billyburg, and 5th Avenue in Sunset park. So given those categories, The Haab is closer to the Barrio than the Gringo - foodstuff familiar to gringos, and maybe a few new discoveries, but nothing mindblowing. Sometimes you might see Tamales and Champurrados offered up, but that's just there to give the idea of "something different". Of course, the question is whether you see the neighborhood Mexicanos popping in - my guess is very likely no: No one with Mexican heritage nearby will spend $11 on Huevos Rancheros, especially when places on 82nd Street can do it cheaper. Plus they will usually just get a coffee with a bun at the local Panderia and work on weekends. Think of The Haab this way - it's an American brunch joint with Mexican influenced decor and some Mexican dishes (solid cooking, my wife's Enchilada Suiza and my Quesadillas both turned out well), but if you invite your local friends they'll tell you to hit a better spot that has more interesting things and a smaller pricetag (like the Colombian bakeries all over Sunnyside - El Pilon is a great place). That is not to say that the Haab is a bad restaurant - far from it. If I got company and just so happen to be in the neighborhood, I'll totally go there (as long as there is a free table). Just don't forget that there is an entire city out there with more interesting Mexican fare, and it's always a good idea to look further down the horizon. read more

The Haab - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Woodside, New York

We visited this mexican cafe for brunch on memorial day. Had a 10 minute wait, there were several families waiting in front of us. The wait seemed brief. We order the mexican chocolate, i should have know better when my wife pointed out to a box of swiss miss instant hot chocolate. I digress, we asked the waitress if they had Mexican chocolate, she replied "yes". I will say this much, we felt jipped. When the hot chocolate came to the table it tasted like hot water and a pocket of swiss miss mixed in. Not cool, that was bad. I order, Huevos Tapatios, 2 fried eggs w / chorizo on crispy tortilla, sour cream & spicy sauce. It was different, good size servings, the potatoes could have been cooked a little more. Eggs were over easy and perfect. Drizzled with red sauce and crema on top. The tostada added a nice crunch and the chorizo was very tasty and lean. Overall, i was very pleased. My wife had the egg omelette with chorizo, onions and peppers. Can i say, where is the beef? The chorizo was cut to such tiny bits that it was almost none existent to the palate. I also order Hawaiian Panini grilled ham, pineapple and swiss cheese with fries. My daughter said it was good, i didn't try it. Veey disappointing. The service was slow, i get it they were busy. I had to ask for water, seems like they want you to buy it instead of offering it. The waitress never came back, we had to ask for hot sauce and water for the table. While i would suggest sticking ti the mexican menu rather than the American menu, as it was clear the omelette had nothing to offer. I would lile to try this place again and give it a 2nd shot. read more

Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Worst service.. Period! 40 mins passed and still didn't get serve our bfast so decided to write a review about it. The worst part of the waiting is they served someone else who walked in after us. I asked the server about the wait time and she said she will find out and never came back. I had to go ask her again. It's not like they are having a busy morning with restraint full of customers. I would understand if that's the case. I can't believe what just happened, they served another customer who walked like 15 mins ago. Anyways we are leaving right now. Enough if enough. Anyone wanna eat here, be prepare to wait close to an hour. And don't go asking what happening to your order or why they are serving others first who came after you, because the owner will put an argument that I ordered French toast which apparently takes over an hour to prep. Just save yourself and don't go there. read more

Ordered two dishes this morning. When more than an hour went by I called The Haab and was told the deliveryman had left because nobody answered the door. That's a total lie.

Won't order from them again. read more

This part of Sunnyside is so far on the edge that you would really never just happen to come by the Haab. I was getting an oil change on Q blvd, and Yelped across this place. It was a short walk but in a direction I never would have walked in if I was just looking for a bite randomly. And thank goodness for Yelp because my first reaction to the Haab was, where have you been all my life? The storefront looks like a corner cafe and has outdoor seating. The decor is colorful and full of character, and lots of fun to look at. Even though it's colorful, it still feels very homey and welcoming. The staff has always been friendly, and for such an authentic establishment, everyone speaks English. I can't say for sure which is my favorite dish. I guess I'm really simple when it comes to breakfast/brunch- It's really hard to find a good, simple huevos a la mexicana, but they do it very well here. The guacamole is amazing and I can never (NEVER) get enough. The oversized tacos are enough to be a meal in itself. They always have a great assortment of hot and iced drinks. I love their arroz con leche but you have to catch them early. The Mexican hot chocolate is nice and thick. Their fresh iced drinks are always nice and refreshing. The Haab is definitely a huge hidden gem. I wish I lived closer because it's one of those places you never really get tired of. It almost feels like you're just eating in someone's kitchen. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican, you just need to try this place. As I'm writing this, I'm not in the City and really craving their guacamole. It's so good!! read more

Holy money shot!!!! I want to grab a bottle of The Haab's chipotle sauce and squirt it all over the damn place. $9 TOTAL including tip and tax for a large plate of good food, a LARGE glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (That glass of OJ would be $6 by itself in the city.), and some bomb service like you were sitting at yo mama's table. Had the Huevos Tapatios...2 crunchy tostada shells, chorizo, fried eggs with a slight run to them, and home fries. Don't forget to load up the thousand island colored sauce. It's some kind of chipotle sauce and it's addicting. I need to figure out how to steal a bottle of their chipotle sauce. read more

Amigos, Huevos rancheros are high on our list of must haves for breakfast. So, when we found this little place on the corner that we haven't been to, we had to try. What no rice and beans with the eggs?! Um, that's not right. $6? That seems a little high. $1.50 extra for rice and beans and you have to ask for them to be on your huevos rancheros? Bummer, I say. If you don't care if you have rice and beans with your huevos rancheros, the sauce was really good and on the spicy side. The homefries (red potatoes) that do come with them were well cooked. Not sure we would head back there, but worth a visit if you are near by. I would also be curious to try their tacos. The service was good. I wonder how much and how big their breakfast burritos are? Hmm Oh and I have to say for a little casual place, they did a nice job with the to go menu....is it really typo or error free?! And I just noticed they have Banana split waffles?? chocolate sauce, banana and ice cream over waffles....hmm. Sounds like a solid maybe right now. If you want good huevos rancheros and you don't mind more of a divey place, try Espiguita in Astoria. They only serve breakfast til about 10:30a, 11a. Til next time....viva Mexico. read more

Excellent little Mexican spot in a little corner. I've been here a few times, food is consistently better than I think it would be. The burgers the Mexican way is delicious, and they cater to requests if you are a vegetarian.

I usually go around the corner and am able to find an open spot. read more

I still love "The Haab" and I think with not so many reviews here, it must be a well kept secret!? The food is great here, and the prices not too bad either. The only downside is it's a little small, and wouldn't take long to fill up, that and yes it's more than a block away from the Blvd. Perhaps that's why it's still Unknown to many out there.. read more

Ordered online, almost an hour after my order, called and they said it's going to take another hour. Even if the place was busy, I'd think it's on a first come first serve basis, and how long does it take to make eggs? Just think they forgot my order. Didn't even compensate for it. Very bad customer service. read more

I love Mexican food...especially at 9 am on a Sunday morning while stumbling around Sunnyside with my BFF after a fun night of celebrating her bday. We yelped the nearest spot to get some good brunch and with the 5 star review Jando gave we figured this place must be legit. 20 minutes and 3 or 4 wrong blocks later we spotted The Haab and although slightly disappointed with the outside we figured Mexican this early on a Sunday would make up in flavor what it lacked in outside appearance. I guess still pumped off of our night, I spotted the little table outside and was a-okay with sitting there. Later, as the chill set in, we peered through the window covered with Mexican sodas looking for a seat on the inside. This spot is tiny and super mexican. Complete with latinos sitting at every one of the 4 tables inside, mariachi playing, azteca masks, and little flash cards with words en espanol. We were greeted as we walked in and head over to the counter to place our orders. Huge menu. Not sure how great everything is but I looked at EVERYTHING that featured "Camarones" in the title, which is shrimp for those of you who lack in foreign language, and I decided on the burrito de camarones with a side salad and a fresh pineapple juiced with chunks of pineapple floating inside. I paid the 14$ for my meal (Sorry $16. Additional $2 for guac) and went outside to wait for it to be ready. It took maybe 15 to 20 minutes for our dishes to be served which is forever on a starving Sunday morning. When it arrived, I was so ready to chow down. The waitress also brought over four sauces that I couldn't wait to squeeze all over my burrito. Now let me tell you about the food. My burrito was pretty hefty. Many tiny pieces of shrimp which is bitter sweet. It's a lot of shrimp but they are so friggin small so OF COURSE there better be a lot of them. The rice inside was yummy. The cheese wasn't as melty and gooey as I like but whatever. The side salad was ehh.. okay. The guac came in this extremely tiny little container and was no more than maybe a teaspoon and a half. :( Talk about disappointment. I assume you would like to hear more about the flavor of my burrito....what flavor?! It was bland. Unsatisfying and after a few bites I was over it. There was chipotle mayo on it. Typically I am a big fan of chipotle. The mayo had a smoked flavor though which made it very bacon-ish and considering I don't eat meat the taste of it was making me sick. I tried my best to scrape that mayo off and even so the burrito still lacked in flavor. I was so sad. I was so excited on the walk to have some authentic delicious Mexican and it fell through. At any rate, I packed up what I didn't consume in store and took it home where I drenched it in buffalo sauce. BUFFALO SAUCE CAN FIX ANY AND ALL THINGS IN THE WORLD. *I must remember to carry a small Frank's Red Hot in my purse.* OH yeah! The pineapple juice was delicious though! Not too sweet and the slices of pineapple in it made me feel like I was on an island. They got a star for that. read more

We visited for brunch on a weekday. It was an unusual atmosphere for the area - very hip, lovingly decorated, with lots of windows. It felt a bit like a beach shack. Okay, maybe that's because it was a beautiful day, and they had the door open so that the breeze could come in. Even though it's very modestly sized, it gets high marks for ambiance. I ordered the huevos con nopales (scrambled eggs with cactus) and my boyfriend ordered the huevos tapatios. Each dish was about $9. The huevos con nopales was a hearty but pretty standard meal. The nopales add a nice touch to what would otherwise be pretty ordinary scrambled eggs. The best part of the dish is the beans that come with it - they are savory and delicious. I didn't try my boyfriend's huevos tapatios, but he was very satisfied. Basically, it was a crispy fried tortilla topped with an egg and chorizo bits, and drizzled with sour cream and a mild hot sauce. He's big on sauces, so he also doused the thing in chipotle mayo. They have a selection of three different sauces to choose from (and ketchup), available at each table. I particularly liked the green sauce. The bill came up to about $35 with tip, so slightly pricey for what we expected, but bear in mind that we both had tall glasses of fresh squeezed OJ ($4 each). Overall, good value for what you get. The bf calls it "the best brunch place in the area." Definitely looking forward to coming back. If you visit, make sure you come on a really beautiful day. By the way - here's a big tip! A lot of the addresses for this place (including the one here on Yelp) are inaccurate when you bring them into Google/Google Maps. The first time we tried to come here, we ended up in East Elmhurst. It's on the corner of 48th avenue and 48th street. read more

Delicious. Stopped in tonight for dinner. It's a nice small authentic restaurant. We had steak nachos, elote, chicken tacos, and a haab burrito and a side of mole sauce. Everything was so so delicious and the mole sauce was one of the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back read more

I would like this place to magically move to my neighborhood and to every neighborhood I ever live in, por favor. We had veggie tacos and huevos rancheros, beer and guava-hibiscus agua fresca. Wonderful. Some nice sauces on the side too--from a hot chili sauce to what I think was chipotle mayo. The only negative here was that after ordering, I spotted someone else's burrito, and regretted both that I had not ordered it and that I lacked the physical fortitude to simply eat it in addition to my order. This was very sad. Credit cards are accepted. Service is super friendly. Spanish is spoken but English is well accommodated. :) read more

If my neighbor hadn't told me about The Haab, I'd probably never discover it. It's NOT located in the best part of Sunnyside, but it's a real gem. The service is always happy, friendly, funny, and fast. The menu is vast, but not overwhelming and all dishes are very very well priced. ;) We've only come here for breakfast but we can't wait to try the lunch/dinner. For breakfast, we've had their breakfast sandwiches, huevos rancheros, and french toast. All were very well made and well proportioned. It's not a fancy $20 breakfast, but it's much better than greasy diner because well, it doesn't taste greasy. Here's how much our items cost: Bagel, Egg, and Cheese $2.80 Plain French Toast with Strawberry Sauce and Powdered Sugar $5 (they use a really tastey cakey bread) Huevos Rancheros around $7, comes with rice and beans So cheap! With the great service, tasty food, good prices, you're guaranteed a nice time. ps-they have DELICIOUS hot sauces! read more
