"Lomeli first gained a following for her red chile enchiladas and creative margaritas at Habanera and the Guero, the Hobby-area restaurant owned by her then-partner Ben Downing. The restaurant, originally called Habenera and the Gringo, was sued by Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen in 2017 in a case that was settled out of court." - Brittanie Shey

My wife and I had watched an episode of Restaurant Impossible with Chef Robert Irvine featuring this restaurant that was shown in May 2020 on Food Network. Since it isn't too far from the house, we decided we wanted to try it, but the issue of the pandemic put that on hold. We had forgotten about it until this week when I noticed it on Google maps. We went to it today (Friday 4/23/2021) for dinner and showed up around 7 PM. It was reasonable busy, but still several table inside were available. We entered with masks on even though we didn't notice a sign asking us to. We were quickly seated and our drink orders were taken. Some of the restaurant personnel were wearing masks and some weren't. I had read this on one of the reviews and we were okay with that. The place was clean and the restaurant personnel were busy taking care of everyone and very pleasant when they interacted with us. We were brought chips before we ordered. I ended up trying a Dragon Fruit Margarita since the place is supposed to be specialize in 17 types of margaritas and I had never tried Dragon Fruit before. There was plenty of tequila in it. For dinner, I ordered the Enchilada Trio which included one each of the Verde, Mole, Roja enchiladas along with beans and rice. My wife got the fish tacos. There was plenty of food for both of us and it was very tasteful with a lot of flavor. Overall, service was excellent, food came out in a reasonable time, and it was an enjoyable experience.

Definitely would have given this a 5 star if the service was better. The food was incredibly delicious and everything tasted fresh. I wanted to try the margaritas because they looked delicious but because they were taking forever I decided not to. There were only two guys serving on the floor and I definitely understand short staff shortage but it was not all enjoyable. This place has potential though because their food is great. The place is not that big but they do have a good seating amount as well as a bar and outside seating.

My first impression driving up to this place was... uhhh are we sure this is the right place.. Its a bit of a dive.. but I like a bit of adventure and I was told they had really good Margherita's.. so I went in.. The atmosphere was a bit lacking but the staff was friendly. They quickly got us seated and the service was pretty good. The chips and salsa were lacking. More the salsa and the green just weren't my thing. The Pico was good though. No big deal.. Where the chips and salsa lacked .. they made up for it big time on the Margheritas. We tried 4 different flavors all were good. They were huge. Loaded with booze and tasted good. Ordered some queso with brisket next. They screwed it up and just brought queso, but fixed it quickly. Definitely much better than the salsa. Also has the bacon wrapped shrimp. It was a bit sweet to taste which I wasn't expecting but okay. I can't say it was a home run though. Probably wouldn't get it again. The fajitas though were great and the beans.. loved the beans and I'm not a big fan of beans normally. So.. for this place to get 4 stars from me. 1) couple screw ups on service. Solve that. 2) invest in a sign and update the place a bit. You have a decent product but I'm sure that people pull up and drive away. 3) change the salsa and green thing. Just didn't do it for me. 4) come up with some combinations of margaritas that are popular. I had to think about it and would be nice to have something to just pick from that had flavors mixed. The pricing was amazing. Way cheaper than expected. I'd definitely come back for some drinks and fajitas again.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a 5-star overall experience! The atmosphere, service, quality of food and drinks are unmatched and we are so thankful to have found this place while on an overnight stay in Houston! If you’re in the area, this place is an absolute MUST. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

Huge margaritas...I mean huge. And lots of flavors. I had the blueberry margarita. I have not seen a blueberry margarita before. It was very good. They are not very strong, but by the end you'll notice the alcohol. Chip sauces were good and fresh. We got a red salsa, fresh pico, and a green sauce. Don't see that much anymore. My favorite was the green sauce. Great heat level, with a ton of flavor. My entree was the Pork Belly Tacos. They were tender and delicious. I will be back for more.

Some of the most amazing food and very hospitable staff. The BEST tortilla chips I have ever had. Definitely recommended. It is so close to the Hobby, if you're at hotel nearby. Please don't regret not coming here.
