Habanero Mexican Food Bar & Grill | Our Story
A family story, served with heart
Our story is built around family, food, and bringing people together.
For years, our family-owned restaurants have had the privilege of serving communities with great food, warm hospitality, and a whole lot of heart. What started with a passion for creating welcoming places to enjoy a meal has grown into a family of six restaurants:
* Habanero Tacos Bar & Grill
* Gran Azteca Mexican Food Bar & Grill
* River Bar & Grill
* Habanero Mexican Food Bar & Grill
* JV El Eden Restaurant
* Habanero Pizza
Family owned and operated
Each of our restaurants has its own personality and menu, but they all share the same goal: creating a place where families gather, friends meet, and communities come together.
Across our restaurants, guests can enjoy Mexican and Salvadoran favorites, handcrafted pizzas, pasta, subs, burgers, great drinks, and more. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal, bringing the family together, watching the game, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying time with friends, we want every visit to feel welcoming.
Growing with our community
As our restaurant family continues to grow, we remain committed to the values that brought us here: great food, genuine hospitality, and a strong connection to the communities we serve.
We’re proud to be family-owned, community-focused, and passionate about creating memorable dining experiences.
Welcome to our family of restaurants. ❤️
Come sit on the patio
When the weather is right, our outdoor patio is the best seat in Urbana. Pull up a chair, order a margarita, and stay as long as you like.
