taco truck taste in rva. habanero's is the closest that richmond comes to an authentic west coast taco truck. there's really no ambience as the place is the size of your kitchen, and no waitress service to speak of, but the food is just too damn good to ignore. if this place does something as well as the west coast, it is their tacos. loads of variety, lovingly poured intofreshcorn tortillas. i often drive by a taco bell and ask myself - what are these people thinking when they can have food that is so much better tasting than that for close to what it is costing them to eat there? and can we stop calling taco bell mexican food? if you want mexican food, not laced with cheese, sour cream and needless condiments, then a place like habanero's is right up your alley. the shrimp tacos are loaded with shrimp, the chicken and beef dishes are perfectly seasoned, and the tilapia in the fish tacos is grilled and tender. i know some consider fried fish to be more authentic, but i prefer the grilled stuff. habaneros is mostly takeout, and we were well fed and satisfied for less than thirty dollars as a family of four. that's pretty darn good, and we are sure to return. i only hope that maybe they have enough guts to expand or to take on some of the vacated space next door as this is really cramped quarters for such a decent product. and don't let the name scare you, as you can have it spicy as you want it.

authentic yumminess. they have a food truck in richmond too but just know it has a limited menu. i think it is just tacos and burritos.

the actual place is small with cramped seating. plan for your order to go but everyone should still visit this place! the tacos, tamales and burritos are delicious! the lady who was taking my order had to pause a couple of time to understand my horrific non-hispanic pronounciation of all the food but that made it all the better. you can't get any more authentic than that.

below is a description of the food my husband and i had:

carne asada burrito: huge, meaty, delicious with the works.

chicken tamales: this has a very spicy green tomatillo sauce. if you are a spicy food lover, you will absolutely enjoy this kick!

carne asada, al pastor, chicken and tilapia tacos: the chicken taco i had from their food truck was precooked so it was dry and flavorless. it will probably befreshat this location. move onto their delicious al pastor (marinated pork) and carne asada (steak). the fish taco looked yummier than it tasted and was pretty bland.

carne asada torta: it's like a mexican burger sub. we both enjoyed this and fell in love with the crisp, chewy bread.

a hole in the wall. this place is truly one of those hole in the wall type restaurants. i never knew it existed because you would not know it was there until you get right up on it. the place is so small, it is like cooking inside of a closet. however, the food that is produced in such a small, (not very busy considering the food is amazing) restaurant is intense. i have been looking for this exact flavor for as long as i can remember. no other mexican restaurant that claims they are "authentic" (come on, my neighbors come straight out of mexico and i have been spoiled with all of the tasty dishes they share, i know authentic. cooked over a fire and chopped up on a rock. that's what i'm looking for!) can add up to this place. the tortillas that the tacos are served with are corn, which are far more flavorful than chewy flour tortillas. not to mention, they are thin and flimsy making for an easier eat rather than having the tortilla rip and crumble. the fish and chicken tacos are my very favorite because they are served copped and topped withfreshcilantro and only slightly spicy salsa verde. their chips and guacamole are on point. their burritos should not even be compared or even in the same conversation as a place such as chipotle. habanero's burritos are just as big only taste a million times better. i'm not sure if it's because they are the sweetest little bunch of family restaurant owner's i know or the fact that their kitchen is so... modest yet can make such great food-- either way, the combination of love, work and experience work together to make some really good eats.

just like home!. reminds me of taqueria in socal! authentic taste like the small taco shops that dotted the landscape of the suburbs of san diego.freshingredients and huge portions at a reasonable price. watch the jalapenos...if you need less heat, tell the owner. staff is welcoming and friendly. if you're in a hurry, call ahead and your meal will be waiting for you.
