Habanero Tacos Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Frederick

My daughter and her boyfriend were home today and since it was her 21st birthday, she wanted to go to this restaurant and order dinner and a margarita. She was carded but didn’t have the MD horizontal license, so she used her (active) military ID instead, and those working at the restaurant indicated they didn’t know what the card was. My daughter’s boyfriend, also military, showed his ID as well, and not only were they turned down, but those working there, assuming that neither of them would understand the language when talking amongst themselves, proceeded to refer to the two as “stupid” and other derogatory terms. Needless to say, they left (disappointed, certainly, but without incident) and fair to say they won’t be back. Normally I wouldn’t get involved, but besides the birthday insult, the bigger insult is not recognizing the military status of two people who work REALLY hard to serve as examples for this country. Shame on this restaurant, which I’ll now be sure to...

When you walk in it’s a very clean and spacious two room casual dining area with a plentiful seating bar. Simple, stylish furnishings with modest Hispanic deco.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. As usual, the fajitas came on a hot iron plate with plenty of deceit sized shrimp, green peppers, and sliced tomatoes(I asked for no onions). It came with a separate plate of rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. There were three flour tortillas as well.

It was all pretty tasty and I was not able to finish it all. One minor note, and this is not a mark against the place; could have cut the tails off the shrimp. I don’t really have a problem with it as I cut the shrimp in half anyhow just to make it better eating in the fajitas so I cut the tail off then.

I look forward to going back and trying some other items...

When you're craving that Tex Mex fix and have a big appetite, try this oasis in the heart of Frederick Maryland. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with music playing while you dine. The cerveza is cold and XX on tap. The complimentary chips and salsa is satisfactory.. With the nod going to the medium spicy salsa. Save some salsa for liberally pouring on tacos, fajita, enchiladas and more. If really starving, try jalapeño poppers, crispy and dripping with cheese. The menu is quite extensive and includes seafood and assortment of traditional Mexican favorites. There's also pizza just in case you're in the mood for a pie. The prices are reasonable and fast service even when busy. So check out this taco bar, you won't be disappointed or go...
