My friend and I went here recently and we were quite disappointed. The food was good, we got the nachos. However the price was just plain silly. The full order is $11 and $3 to add meat, but the half order? It's $10...$3 for meat. This just doesn't make sense to me...So I asked the bartender when he came around (they didn't have a server in the bar, even though it is quite spacious.) When I inquired about the nacho prices, the bartender instantly got defensive...maybe he had heard this question a million times before, I don't know, but honestly, that's not my problem...he could've played this situation off in a funny way that left us thinking he was cool, but instead he got all huffy and didn't even look at me when I asked how much of a difference there was...we ordered the half order...because a dollar difference wasn't going to sway me into ordering more food. The nachos were super tasty and the right amount of food for me and my friend...
When the bartender came around to see if we wanted drinks, I asked "How do you like the cucumber margarita?" he said "It's good." and walked away...didn't even wait for me to say I wanted it....then 10 minutes or so later...I got one....even if I didn't want it.
Over all, they get a few stars for tasty nachos, and a very nice looking place.
Bland and overpriced are the two words that come to mind when I think of Habaneros. The menu isn't particularly interesting and the prices are too high for Medford, and for the quality/quantity of food. The restaurant itself (ambiance, etc) is fine, but after one late afternoon lunch here we are in no hurry to return.
Review Source:Let's begin with how absolutely yummy the carne asada tacos are here and thankfully so or I would have left completely depressed by the horribly neglectful service I recieved from Stephanie! Fortunately there was one active employee on duty and he saved her from quite a word lashing. Most definitely on his game, someone thank him with a raise!
Review Source:I just had the WORST experience here! Like ruin a night bad time!! My sis found an ant in her drink. The wait time between clearing plates and receiving check was 25 minutes even after asking for it.
We asked for the manager and was insulted, intimidated, and demeaned by him. He approached our table and said,"So who has the problem here." What?! We explained our experience and asked for a drink to be taken off the receipt. He replied,"It's spring time. There are ants everywhere. There are ants in every kitchen." Is this a joke?! We explained that we all work in customer service and that the drink and wait time were unacceptable. Not to mention his complete disrespect and attitude, although we didn't mention the latter. He said,"Fine! I'll take off the drink! Happy?" Walked away and threw his hand toward us as if saying a big F YOU! It was the worst behavior I've ever seen from a "manager." As we waited for our credit cards to come back, the entire staff was giving us dirty looks.
As we left the restaurant, my sister almost slipped on a small area of wet floor (it's a rainy night) and told me to watch the wet spot. The staff behind the counter said loud enough for us to easily hear,"um, no, it's dry, idiots!" Wow! Really? If these people worked for me, they'd be fired.
This is the restaurant that I hosted my bachelorette party at and that my husband and I have been to many times. I will never ever again go here. I'm still in shock over this!!
I'd like to update and say that I left my ID on the table at the restaurant (even though the lady didn't even look at it- just asked how old I am?) Â and they said they NEVER FOUND IT. So they probably threw it away or took it and aren't giving it back and now I'm in a huge ordeal trying to get a new license.
THANKS ASSHOLES, YOU CLOSING IS MY NEW GOAL.
Not particularly authentic sums it up for Habañero's. Sadly, that pretty much applies to just about every sit-down Mexican restaurant in Medford. But given Medford's general aversion to authentic ethnic cuisine of any kind (GOTTA BE AMMMURCAN DOGGGONE IT), no surprise really.
That said, I think Habañero's (that's ha-ba-NYEHR-ohs, btw) is definitely the best of all the sit-down places in Medford. All the others (Si Casa Flores, Casa Ramos, etc.) are so off and bland, I'm not sure why anyone bothers visiting them.
As others have mentioned, it's also a bar/music venue, so it's usually pretty lively in there, especially on the weekends.
My fiance and I went there for the first time earlier this week and were completely disappointed. The waitress complained to us about the quality of food and suggested we change our meal decisions. The food we chose was bland and pretty disgusting to the taste. We told the waitress the food was bad and she seemed uninterested and brought the bill immediately. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE!
Review Source:Decided to participate in the pear tasting associated with the Pear Blossom festival.  4 diners total.  2 ordered the pear themed dinner.  Pork dry, polenta pretty good, the wilted spinach and the pear themed drink  was the best part of the meal.  Service, pretty ok, not outstanding, not poor.  Chili verde, average and there really isn't much you can say about a burrito.  I think that the worst part is that when you are having a themed event, the pear should have been ripe and sweet, instead of hard and flavorless.
Review Source:Habaneros may not be the most authentic Mexican food (it's about on par with Chevy's when it comes to authenticity, to be honest) but it's a wonderful hang out. Â
They have a pretty good margarita selection, and I love going here with co-workers after work on a Friday afternoon. Â Be sure to take advantage of their "Habby Hour" food, too!
Service can be a little slow, but I keep coming back. Â They've always been very accommodating of big after-work groups, as well.
I've eaten at Habeneros a few times for dinner/lunch. Â Overall, this is your standard Tex-Mex joint. Â The food is heavy and satisfying. Â The chile rellenos are pretty tasty, as are the tamales. Â
The real secret of Habeneros is "Taco Thursday," which starts at 6pm in the bar. Â If you order a drink, you can chow on the "all you can eat" beef taco bar, which is pretty good the earlier you go and a picked-over tornado of lettuce and taco shells later on.
I was very unimpressed with the Margarita menu... the two or three that I've tried were pretty nasty and my advice is to stick with a cold microbrew in a big frosty mug.
The patio is small but pleasant if the weather is nice. Â Prices are okay. Â Kinda pricy for lunch. Â The happy hour menu, which I think starts at 9pm (there might be an earlier one too) is good, with several tasty cheap options if you miss the taco bar.
