What people say, in short
Taqueria Habanero on 14th Street earns repeated Mexican-food recommendations. One diner particularly praises the tacos and margaritas, while others endorse the food more generally. A former fan finds it less consistent. Two diners like the restaurant but do not find it a match for the hearty Tex-Mex-style meal under discussion, with one specifically missing rice, beans and wet enchiladas.
