Taqueria Habanero

Stopped in here a few days after the recent snowfall in the DMV, and I’m so glad we did. Food is phenomenal, and the staff are so kind and friendly. They braved the tricky roads and sidewalks in college park to be here, and they served up the best lengua I’ve had in the area. We frequent the location in DC, and this may have topped it on all fronts!

The food at Taqueria Habanero was amazing—full of flavor and clearly made with care. Everything tasted fresh, and the quality really stood out. The place also looked very clean and well maintained, which made the experience even better. The only downside was the music. It didn’t really match the vibe of a taqueria, as church music was playing in the background. While it wasn’t a deal-breaker, a more fitting music choice would definitely enhance the overall atmosphere. Overall, great food and a clean space—just a small tweak needed to improve the ambiance.

Missed the brick and mortar place so much, glad they’re back and right in the middle of college park! People are so nice and every single piece of food I’ve had here has been incredible. Get the salmon taco!

Absolutely delicious tacos. Pollo > Mushroom (so good, but a bit oily) > Bistec > Salmon > Tinga (bit bland). Enchilada was even better than the quesadilla. This tastes like the most authentic Mexican food we've had in Maryland. Desserts are way overpriced for their size, though.

I just had an absolutely unreal meal at Taqueria Habanero’s brand new location and I’m already counting down the days to go back! I have been super into their chicken tinga quesadillas, because the cheese is next to godliness and the chicken and tortillas are bursting with flavor in every bite. Then the pulpo taco showed up and blew my mind. The octopus was smoky, tender, and straight-up dreamy. The mole, honestly, it was pure magic like a rich, deep, and layered happiness like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. And the leche flan melted in my mouth like a sweet little cloud. Every single dish was beyond delicious, seriously, if you haven’t been to Taqueria Habanero yet, you are missing out big time! I love the interiors too.
