Takeout is always quick and the food is always solid! The tacos come with lots of meat and lots of toppings for you to customize. But my personal favorite is probably the chimichanga.
The service is always good and so is the food and the drinks. The happy hour is great. I will visit again soon
Went here after a long day of shopping around Strongsville. The staff were super nice and attentive! Since it was a weekday it wasn't very busy which was nice. The place was super clean and I enjoyed the decore, very modern. They had a nice bar which I didn't partake In but they have several margaritas I'd like to try. I got, the veggie tacos with Mexican rice while my sister got the nacho supreme. I was super pleased they had a lot of vegetarian options on their menu! And when I got the Mexican rice the waitress informed me it's made with chicken broth, which was a great thing to know. If you're in Strongsville and looking for a nice place to have lunch I'd easily recommend this place!
My daughter wanted some birria tacos so she looked on yelp to find restaurants that serve them. Blue Habanero had them on the menu, so off we went. We were immediately seated upon arrival. Our drink requests were taken and we perused the menu. My daughter and I had birria tacos at another restaurant, but we wanted to try them here as well, so that is what we both requested. My wife requested street tacos. I had a Pacifico beer, which was on draft and served in a frosted mug. The food was made and served quickly. The birria tacos were served with a large bowl of dipping sauce, which was like onion soup. It gave a great flavor and texture to the tacos. They were very good and I'd reqeust them again. I had a side dish of steamed veggies, which were just okay. Overall the meal and service were excellent.
Tried their tacos during taco week. They were by far everyone's favorite. The flavors were excellent, the tacos were bursting with meats and fillings, and the service was friendly and fast. The chicken was a tad bit spicy but you could still taste the flavor. The pork was moist and delicious and the taco was filled.
I loved the vibes of this Blue Habanero! They had the front side of the restaurants windows open to allow for outdoor seating and the cool breeze of the summer evening. The waiter was especially kind, attentive, and very helpful. He was very helpful in choosing options of the menu as well and always he a big smile on his face no matter what! Usually, when I try new tacos they're always so bland and dry. My chicken chipotle tacos were surprisingly flavorful and (opposite of dry) moist? Regardless, it tasted pretty good. Especially with the Mexican rice. The guac and chips weren't too bad. Overall, it was a good experience and I look forward to trying it out again.
Small place that took over the space of the former B Spot. They have some outdoor seating and the front wall opens like a garage door to provide a nice outdoor feel for the whole place. On the night we visited, the weather was around 70° with a small breeze so the room felt perfect. Our waitress was very nice and answered our various questions. Food and drink orders were filled in quick order. We shared two appetizers and a dinner, and we ended up taking home two large to-go containers. Good sized portions. We started with the street corn which had a small bit of zip paired well with the chips. She got steak nachos and she was very happy with the order. Plenty of steak and cheese. If you're not super hungry, this app plus drinks is enough for two for dinner. I had a spicy grilled burrito with chicken. The flavor was good, but I'd prefer a bit more spice heat. Plenty of left overs for two lunches! I had a Paloma and it was enjoyable. I wish the spice around that drink's rim was on my chicken too Good mix of families and date night couples.
Yay Strongsville! So glad some unique and delicious has arrived! I was so excited to try this place out after hearing such great things about their other location. They have completely changed the vibe from the previous B Spot. We started with happy hour margs, I recommend the peach...so yummy and not too sugary/syrup. Also we had the street corn dip, I recommend ordering a side of chips to dip...YUM! Their tacos were delicious and a decent price for the quality youre getting. Already recommended to all my coworkers how this a must add to your local list!
