Restaurante La Habichuela

Great food! Super great ambiance with natural flowers and nice furniture. It's even very romantic! The wait staff is also super nice, they even remembered one of my friends i was dining with who hadn't been there in years! The food is also quite yummy and very fast service. They also have giant menus that make it easy to see. Nothing bad to report honestly, only been there once though.

I really appreciated the effort they put into making great food here. The chef attends your table and is extremely friendly. However, I don't believe they make seafood to my taste. I still highly recommend this place but I wish they'd not over work lobster or shrimp. Expect them to be a little slow servicing tables.

Found this place on review sites as one of the longest standing restaurants. Good margaritas, very big portions for starters and good quality food, traditional French. Nice cozy and intimate setting. The only comment is that the English menu we had appears to have been missing some items that other table was eating - the pepper stuffed with sausage meat dish which we saw on review sites that we may have wanted to try. Perhaps it is worth to ensure all items are on the menu.

Surprised by the 4+ google rating. Had a dinner with friend here and come here because of the website promotion. Overall, the experience was fine but we are not satisfying with the “unexpected tipping Magic show” and when we paid the bill the server didn’t let me put the tip amount but simply asking “20% is fine?”. I understood people always wanted to charge more but this is not professional. During the dinner, no one filled up the water for us, but the server come twice and check how is everything going. Even at Manhattan this quality of service doesn’t deserve 20%, I would say 15% for all respect would be maximum. Food: Food is not extremely special and the “famous coconut” pretty much like the curry chicken in Thai restaurant I have been in North America. Appetizers are okay and the Grouper’s taste is too sweet. Drinks: A bottle of water on the bill charged us $90 peso, and it’s not sparking neither Evian, just like the $99 cents one in New York Walmart. We also had two lemonade. Price: Overall, this dinner cost us 2500 pesos, which is more than the fine dinning we had at Ritz Carlton last night, I am the person okay with the price, you can charge whatever you can, but just delivering the same quality of food and service. Environment: it’s nice to see the lights and decorations but there are many mosquitos around us.

Had lunch at this beautiful restaurant today. We tried the grouper, soft shell crab and some sangria and other drinks and passion fruit mousse. Everything was really delectable. The presentation was lovely, the service was 5 stars and I love the music and the ambiance of the atmosphere.

The most delicious, authentic local food. This restaurant has been around for a long time and is amazing. It is hidden but well worth going into and eating. Service and food is amazing! We have a friend who is a local that took us to this restaurant. Go here. You will not be disappointed. It is a must if you are in the area!

Heard many good things about it and wanted to give it a try. Service was ok. I ordered a Mexican traditional appetizer (based in the server said), and the chef’s recommendation of the day. Overall is ok but have to say it was disappointed. The appetizer was melted cheese on crepes; the fish, flavor was interesting, but it was burned on one side. And I thought it was the Mexican way of this dish. The waiter was surprised and told me he was going to ask the chef but no answer after. Maybe it was the wrong dish I ordered but not as good as thought it would be.

Went here as per recommendation of a local colleague for my birthday. We were seated in the garden area, which is very cute in the evening with the string lights and Mayan decor. A very romantic place for dinner. Just to note: bring mosquito spray if sitting outside! Staff was professional and very courteous, and always attentive to our needs (group of 7 on a peak day). Food was very delicious, I had the Cocobichuela - which is a lobster dish in a carved our coconut. Very special dish and highly recommend! Definitely will try to make another visit next time I am in Cancun.
