Habenaros

For H's birthday we got a sitter and did "adult" things: eat, drink, and see a movie. Our initial plan was to eat at Bison County, but H wanted to go to Tempo. Tempo is closed on Sundays....
Then we remembered that there was a new Mexican place, Habenaros, on the corner of Moody and Newton. We were initially skeptical that it would be any good since most of the restaurants that have occupied the space were take out joints that lasted about six months.
We felt adventurous and checked out the menu. The menu looked good and the insides made it clear that the joint was a sit down eatery. We decided to take the risk. Bad Mexican food is still pretty decent. It is hard to totally ruin.
The first thing we did was checkout the drink menu. It was fairly standard save for one thing: infused tequila. The take top shelf tequila and add in fresh cut fruits and other things to add a twist to the flavor. We decided on Margaritas with infused tequila. H went with a peach and I went with a spicy jalapeño, mango. They were both yummy. The infusions were subtle and added to the drink without radically altering the basic flavor.
The food was basic, but good. We got nachos with chicken, mole chicken enchiladas, and a vegetable burrito. The nachos were the most interesting thing we got. The chicken was grilled over an open flame and had a little bit of a kick. The enchiladas and the burrito were both excellent, but basically what you would expect from a high end Mexican restaurant.
The prices were pretty reasonable. We managed to get out for around $50. I felt it was reasonable for two top shelf drinks, an appetizer, and two entrées.
I would definitely go back.
