"Matt’s El Rancho and El Alma have flashier real estate, but Habanero is South Austin’s Mexican MVP. It’s cramped and fast-paced in an appealing way, with a down-home charm that makes you hope the food will be great. Fortunately, it is. Show up anytime—they’re only open for breakfast and lunch, though—and you’ll sense that half the crowd are longtime regulars who can recite the menu. It’s a diner-sized list focused mostly on dishes like fajitas, burritos, migas, and huevos rancheros, any of which can be topped with housemade salsas. " - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
