Our story

A Milwaukee original, more than 15 years in

Habanero’s was built on a simple idea: bring the recipes and regions of Mexico to Milwaukee, and serve them in a room that feels warm the second you walk in. From guacamole crushed at the table to a tequila list that surprises people, the goal was always food that’s a little unexpected and always fresh.

Since the late 2000s, that idea has grown into a neighborhood fixture on both sides of the metro — the Mayfair-district dining room in Wauwatosa and the “& Margarita” kitchen on Greenfield’s southside. Two freestanding restaurants, one family recipe box, and a whole lot of regulars.

The beginning

Rooted in real recipes

A stylish Latin-American kitchen opens with a promise: authentic, regional Mexican cooking — Chihuahua cheese, morisqueta rice, chile de árbol — not the usual.

Growing up

Two homes across the metro

The flagship settles in the Mayfair district of Wauwatosa while a second kitchen takes root on Greenfield’s southside, each becoming its neighborhood’s go-to.

Today

Where Milwaukee gathers

Birthdays, date nights, office lunches, happy hours, and catered parties — two freestanding restaurants still smashing guac at the table.
