We are the type that look past the flair and expensive glass doors, marble floors, white tablecloth places and look for a truly good and authentic dining experience. (Although we do go to some of those places if the reviews suggest so). Habaneros is one of those places where the food is truly unique and tasty, while keeping the dining... More

We happened upon this place and really enjoyed the meal. There's a spot immediately to the left, though, that has a sign for beer and shrimp, neither of which Habaneros had. But at Luis's recommendation, we had the cochina pipil and it was great. It's not easy to find a taco stand in the Zona Hotelera and this place is... More

I was excited to find that Habaneros was only half a kilometer from our hotel. We have been here a week and have eaten at Habaneros twice - once for lunch and once for breakfast. Mario cooked up a special combo and did not disappoint our expectations. We will come back for a truly great meal when in Cancun again.... More

We tried this place after reading all the reviews before we left & weren't disappointed. The Panuchos were our favorite along with the pickled onions & different salsas. Be careful for the really HOT ONE!! Can't wait to go back for more.

If you're looking for a quick lunch spot, head to Habaneros. Fed a hungry party of 6 for less than $40USD including drinks. Run by a father and son. Food is simple but delicious. Guacamole was the best guac we've ever had! The panuchos and tortas are highly recommended.

We had found this little restaurant in Trip advisor and it sounded just like a place we could become fond of. Only a few bus stops away from our resort, we had no trouble finding this lovely shady pergola and we were not going to be disappointed This is instant Mexico and you expect Zoro or Speedy Gonzales ride up...

The visit to Habaneros was such a treat. Incredible local cuisine served by the most charismatic owner. Cancun is filled with lots of fine dining and large establishments but my husband and I prefer the local joints. It was a bit of a challenge to find in Cancun...especially in the hotel zone. But....Habaneros met the craving and even surpassed it.... More

Habaneros is a small typical restaurant with good food and service. If you are looking for real Mexican food , then you can't miss this place.

We went to Habaneros upon chance. We were walking by and noticed the food looked awesome! The food was so good and affordable we made sure we went again before we left. The owners Mario and Luis are just wonderful they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and assure you are happy with your meal. I... More

My husband and I stumbled upon this little locally owned gem while walking from the Westin Lagunamar to downtown Cancun. On our walk back we decided to grab a quick lunch and we are so happy we did. We were immediately welcomed by Mario (one of the owners the other is Luis and works at night). He offered us a... More
