We ordered through UberEats & Habanero & Aji absolutely nailed it. Mexican food can sometimes lose its spark during delivery, but everything arrived hot, well-packaged, & incredibly tasty.
The Standouts:
• 3 Quesabirrias: These were the star of the show. The tortillas had that perfect slight crunch, the meat was tender & deeply seasoned, & the dipping consommé was rich & flavorful. Total comfort food.
• Enchiladas Verdes: Refreshing & zesty! The salsa verde had just the right amount of tang & kick, & the portions were very generous.
If you're looking for authentic flavors that actually travel well, this is the spot. We will definitely be ordering again!

I ordered the Sopa de Birria, which is very tasty. My only complaint is that the portion was too small for the price.
