I always order the sopa de cabeza--it's rich, comforting, and absolutely incredible. The chiles toreados con cebollas are a must, and their enchiladas are consistently delicious. What really sets this place apart is the consistency. Every visit has been great, the food is always on point, and the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food that stands out from the rest, this is one of the most unique restaurants you'll find in Southern California. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend and we will definitely return.

You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at El Pueblo was one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences I've had. We arrived around 7:30 PM, placed our order, and waited at our table until 8:45 PM without receiving any food. Meanwhile, every other table in our section had already been served, finished eating, and left while we were still waiting. I finally spoke with the manager, who apologized and assured me our order would be completed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting another 20 minutes. What was even more disappointing was that when our food finally arrived, it wasn't even hot. The tortillas were at room temperature, and the meat was barely warm. After waiting nearly an hour and a half, it simply didn't make sense that the food seemed like it had been sitting out for quite some time. To make matters worse, I developed a stomach ache after the meal. Long waits can happen, and I understand restaurants can get busy. But waiting nearly two hours, receiving lukewarm food, and then getting sick afterward is completely unacceptable. I hope El Pueblo takes a closer look at its kitchen operations and customer service so other diners don't have the same experience.
