Habaneros Mexican Grill Longwood

I love this place!! The best taco salad ever and the margaritas are on point!! The chips and salsa never disappoint. If you haven't been here, you are missing out! Edit: I reduced my rating because they charged me $3 for adding 6 mushrooms to my fajita veggies and they would not allow me to get the skinny margarita in the larger size.

Myself and a friend went for dinner on Friday evening at the Habaneros in Longwood. Our waiter was Jimmy. He took time, he answered everything we asked as this was our first time there. He even took it upon himself to replace a strawberry daiquiri that wasn 't sweet enough that he could just tell from my expression, I didn 't ask for it to be replaced. The food was delicious! We both had the Fajitas Something , lol. It was shrimp chicken, and steak, along with amazing grilled peppers and onions etc... It was $20 but we took home more than we could eat! The refried beans with cheese was exceptional. My friend had a side of guacamole which she was very happy with.The margaritas during happy hour were beautifully presented, delicious, and packed a wallop! I thought La Hacienda was good, but this leaves it in the dust!

We hadn't been here for over 10 years and boy did it go downhill. We had to wait forever for someone to check to see if someone was waiting to be seated. Our waiter kept saying he was new with every question I asked him. The queso was like water and tasted like it too. Nobody liked their meals. We're not even finished eating and the waiter brings the bills. I'm like what if I wanted dessert? I did, but refused to order since he was trying to get rid of us. We won't be going back again!

Would give less stars if possible. Arrived on mother's day with my husband and young son, were seated in a rush, and left to collect our own highchair for our 2 year old. Multiple tables around us were served, cleared, and seated and then tended to) and we never got so much as a hello or an offer for water. We will never return or recommend. Both my husband and I work in food service and were attempting to be patient as we understand the current industry climate. However, we waited over 30 minutes and no one even noticed when we walked out. There were other customers but definitely weren't considered busy, and in any case the experience was highly disappointing.

Covid19 safe as they have sanitizer as you come in, and all staff knows how to wear the mask correctly. Do I wish they had dividers between the booths.... Yes. The place is in good order, clean and well maintained. We got our food really fast as we ordered it. I like my Fajitas meat in slices not little peace, like you have cut up a steak just for me. The beef itself, even with it almost shreaded was tuff. I was very disappointed in the time it took to leave. I felt like our staff left us at the end of the meal.
