Incredible food and fun vibe. Highly recommend the queso fundido, parrillada, and margarita flight.

Used to be a regular here but they’ve changed their lunch menu, still good, but cut back on portions though & charge 3% on all orders. *Other locations don’t charge 3%. Great happy hour!

The manager was attentive, and bartender Mariana is incredibly friendly, her warm service makes you want to come back. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience.
Restaurant was empty yet service was super slow. Guac came out after 10 minutes. Old unseasoned avocados. Tastes awful. Tacos are expensive and extremely mid. Service was terrible. Don't recommend.

Great food , amazing hospitality and a wonderful server (Omar) who paid attention to every aspect of our party’s need! Never had a bad experience with this establishment and it seems they keep on surprising us with better service every time!

I went on a girls trip to Orange County and stopped at Kalaveras. What a great experience! The drinks were incredibly well-made, and the bartender Franco was knowledgeable and fun to talk to. He made a perfect drink based on my liquor preference. I'm still thinking about it. Definitely recommend this place for a quality drink and top-notch service.

We had lunch around 1:30 so it was not busy at all. Our server (I think his name was Isma) was the most patient and kind gentleman when we were talking and not looking at the menu. He was always all smiles and so sweet. I had the mix and match tacos (potato taco and fish taco) with a side salad. My friend had the tostada salad and it was HUGE!!! Every thing tasted fresh and delicious. The menu is extremely affordable and a great value. We will definitely be returning.
First time here. Nice place and very clean. Nice decor with an outside area as well. Menu is fantastic and a plentiful drink menu. The bar could be a bit bigger, but other than that a wonderful place to have good food and drinks 😊

I love Mexican food and this is some of the best I've ever had. The service was a little slow considering the place was practically empty. It was nice and clean but a 3rd of the place has really cool graffiti on the wall but the rest was pretty plain. But that doesn't matter, because the food is what's important.

Amazing food, atmosphere and music. Service was great and our server, Emanuel was very accommodating with the dietary needs of a few of our party and gave great recommendations from the menu. Definitely recommend giving this place a try

Taco Tuesday tacos were great, service not so much. Took a while to order drinks, took way longer to get them. Funny thing they were not very busy at the time so don’t know why so slow.
Apps delivery was also very slow, with the asada fries being way over cooked and burned to the pan.
Previous visits were much better, new management?
Again, tacos were very good. Not sure I’d return.
