    Food was good overall. I appreciate the condiments bar with salsas, sauces, cilantro, onions & limes. Downside is they were sold out of guacamole.

    The floaters chef special comes with a drink, rice, beans, but you're gonna love the cheesy chicken inside of the crispy, flaky shell

    Not only are the staff and chef herself attentive, but it's their own authentic Mexican recipes and everything is fan flippin fantastic. We tried the chicken and cheese flautas. We tried Beria tacos. We tried Carne Asada tacos and we tried El Pastor and everything was so incredible. And they have a salsa bar and being from Southern California, We can tell you that's legit salsa and veggies and flavors! Son bien tacos y flautas! Autentico y sabrosa!!!

    First time trying this place. Not impressed. I had the Al Pastor tacos (3 for $13.50) and the cheese dip w/chips. I love Al pastor, but theirs didn't compare to what I'm used to. It was basically pork w/pineapples added. The pork wasn't marinated or flavorful at all. They were a good size though. The cheese dip was your basic cheese dip, nothing fancy. The staff were super nice and helpful. The inside of the restaurant was clean. I would probably try going again to try something else.

    I decided to eat here this evening and what a surprise. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the bowl with Birria. Best birria I have had before so tender it just fell apart. It came with a large portion of warm cheese dip. They have a fresh salsa and sauce bar. I tried them all, they have an orange sauce that is spicy but great. The bowl came with chick peas, lettuce, pico, corn, beets, rice and beans. It was a great size. The inside is very clean and modern and they play fun music. You must give this place a try.

    Pretty much just street tacos. I've had worse, but I've also had better. Nice enough looking place, but the tap water was terrible.

There was a decent amount of people traffic which was good. I got seated right away, chips before I even ordered. The salsa was very good and chips were good also. Decided on the carnitas plate, which is my go to across the various Mexican food places I go. The portions were great, the food was probably a 3-4 star but total package was 5. Staff was friendly and helpful, the salsa was really good, the food was hot (the plate was extremely hot too). The pork was just a little dry but tasted good with salsa and sour cream in a taco. Good tortillas as well. I only tried this spot for Mexican food in the area, but would go again if staying nearby. Ambiance was fairly lively, they had a good amount of people eating and also working. Was a nice dinner.

We've always ordered the Shrimp and Crab enchiladas and the Chicken Yucatan. Both are delicious and bursting with flavors. The beef taco salad was something new I tried. I would have preferred the pieces to be cubed and not in strips. Their complimentary chips are alright, but they need to improve the salsa. It needs to be chunky. I always ask for their white sauce. Overall, I love coming here and would love to try other dishes too.

    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.

    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.

    1 star for the lack of organization and care. We made a reservation for a party of 13 about a week…read morein advance through their website, so we expected the restaurant to be prepared. When we arrived, they threw together a random booth with connected tables and it honestly looked like a hot mess. Meanwhile, there were two other large parties there with nicely arranged setups. When we asked about it, the manager said it was "because they were 17 people." That response made no sense to me -- a reservation is a reservation, and every group should receive the same level of preparation and service regardless of size. If the restaurant can't properly accommodate large reservations, there should either be a limit on the website or someone should call ahead to communicate that. Instead, we had family standing around waiting while the staff acted completely unbothered. Overall, it felt disorganized, dismissive, and disappointing.

I ordered a house margarita, a soft serve margarita, and fish tacos (which came with 3 tacos and rice) for only $41!! I know most Mexican restaurants give free chips and salsa but theirs were perfectly salted! I thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered the fish tacos, which were okay. Although it was cooked well, the fish lacked some flavor, so the sauce carried the tacos. The sauce had a nice hint of spice. The star of the show was the soft serve margarita! It was so refreshing!
