Been here a handful of time- always during the day. Can't really go wrong! Good service and delicious food.
Two words: Cactus Burrito.
I've often seen lines outside of this establishment, so I was definitely eager to get in and try it on a cold, rainy, Monday night where the place was basically empty. Being exhausted from my day of traveling, I was afraid that I'd literally fall asleep on the table if I were to imbibe anything of the alcoholic variety I skipped out on the happy hour that my waitress enthusiastically mentioned as I was seated.
Free chips and green salsa, with the typical Brooklyn-style mason jar of water were quickly delivered while my server went through the night's specials. One such special was the Cactus Burrito ($12.95).
I've never eaten cactus before, so I was quick to set my menu down and just say "Yes, for that. Bring me the cactus." The burrito was huge, and it probably should be for close to $13, but it had a great flavor to it and was full of beans and rice, white Mexican cheese, avocado, and topped with a spicy white mole sauce. It also came with a small salad on the side with a vinaigrette dressing. This was a great flavor combo since the tart vinegar cut through the spicy flavors of the burrito. There were also three sauces served on the side (red, yellow, and green) that helped to kick up the flavor a notch if you are so inclined. Green was my favorite.
All in all, a nice dinner that left me satisfied. The cactus tasted almost like a cooked green pepper? It was cool to try it, and left me feeling like I had more of a dinner experience to try something new. Apparently, they also serve pumpkin flower quesadillas. Not sure what that is, but kudos to the restaurant for intriguing my inner foodie enough to want to come back to try that! Yes, I'm a vegetarian. No, I don't want a salad… again.
Solid Brooklyn option, and I'll definitely be back.
Snail quesadillas! In my neighborhood! In my mouth! Why is this place not more crowded? Go here!
Had a super strong meal tonight and that's thanks to our waitress. I wish I knew her name but she was lovely and super attentive. She worked outside and in and killed it!
I couldn't tell from the sprawling menu what the "must have" item was, so I opted for cost-effectiveness and got the chilaquiles, the red version. I enjoyed it; I feel like it wasn't as compelling as the chilaquiles at Yola's but I can't remember enough details for an articulate comparison.
On the taco placero, I was disappointed that the "broiled egg" turned out to be plain old boiled egg, but the accompanying peppers were intriguing.
Haab plays the hip, Cal-Mex cool to nearby Florentina's home country standards. Fresh flavours, a huge menu, and relatively quick delivery times are a definite boon, even if some dishes are better than others. A burrito the size of a mango comes filled with a variety of goodies (grilled steak with queso fresco, grilled chicken with Monterrey Jack and crema, and the massive Haab, loaded with steak, chicken, pork al pastor, pineapple, queso fresco, and guacamole), and all come with rice, beans, and a crisp pico de gallo. The al pastor comes off as a bit dry and the quesadillas can be a bit lacking, but this is a solid option for filling, affordable, and tasty Calexican food.
