Default Habaneros Mexican Grill has opened

From the online news:
Family-owned Habaneros Mexican Grill has opened its newest location at Southern Trace Plaza in The Villages.

The restaurant took over the former location of Crispers which shut down this past May.

The first Habaneros Mexican Grill opened in 1999 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.The family went on to open restaurants in Leesburg, Winter Park, Longwood, Oviedo, Sanford and North Fort Myers.

Thanks for letting us know as the DS gave vague estimates of when it would open.

Have you eaten there? Is it good? Authentic or same-old same-old?

Ate there this afternoon. Service and decor outstanding! We were very disappointed in the food; very bland. (For those who do not care for spicy Mexican food, this is it.) We also found it to be overpriced. We were really disappointed because we love Mexican food and this restaurant is so close to us. Maybe we'll try again, after they have been there longer.

Default Can't wait to try it!

We have eaten many times at their restaurant in Leesburg and always loved it. It reminded me of the restaurant in Colony plaza. Not an authentic place but very good. I think more of us need to give it a try. Looking forward to it. I love the location.

There's a Mexican restaurant in Wildwood in the same strip mall as true value and the post office that is always crowded. I've seen people waiting online outside. I went to get a take-out menu once and they had a Mariachi Band inside. It was too packed to ask anyone if it was a special day and I was running late.

We will give it a try, buts it's going to have to be really good to get us to go there for Mexican food on a regular basis because we really like the Mexican Food from Ay Jalisco in Spanish Springs.
