Lodi restaurateur John DeNigris began his career as a dishwasher in the restaurant that he would go on to own, and which would become the Habañero Hots Restaurante and Salsa Company, one of the most popular restaurants and bars in Lodi. The success of Habañero Hots can be attributed in large degree to John's 'hands-on' style of management, in addition to a menu based on family recipes handed down for three generations. When visiting Habañero Hots, you may find John anywhere...in the kitchen helping to get orders served up fresh and piping hot...behind the bar mixing up a batch of his famous margaritas...or greeting guests at the door and seating them personally when things get busy. Or sit still, and John will probably come by your table to say hello and make sure that your visit to Habañero Hots was everything you expected. If you are not friends and family when you stop by the first time, you will be the next time, and the next, and the next.
Prepared the traditional way. We lightly grill corn tortillas and stuff them with the filling of your choice, then top them with cilantro, diced onions, cheese, and lettuce. Dinners include rice, beans, and salad.
Fajitas are native to Southwest Texas and were the best kept secret of cowboys. They were a great camp meal that was hearty, full of flavor, and quick to prepare. We've taken that basic fajita recipe and added a couple of things because we don't have to prepare this dish on the open range over a campfire, although you may want to close your eyes and imagine that scene while you're eating your fajitas. All of our fajitas are specially marinated in spices, grilled with onion, bell pepper, and fresh tomatoes and are served with an assortment of garnishes, rice, beans, salad, and flour tortillas.
These truly are specialities. Made from our own recipes that have been handed down over four generations. Not too fancy, just a down home assortment of dishes that we are sure you will really enjoy. Served with rice, beans, and our famous salad.
