We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. 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!

Was visiting San Diego for the weekend and my friend recommended Kalaveras for Sunday Brunch…read more They opened at 10, and we were one of the first to get there. 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.

Mike another server was very nice too. I would recommend this place for a chill time and you don't want to go driving around looking for something else.

We dined inside. Our waitress was very good and took care of us. Food was pretty good. Mine was the burger which I enjoyed and my friends said they liked the enchilada. We were all informed there's a band playing Thursday to Sunday from 7:00 pm to around 9:00 or 10:00 depending on the day. So this must be a popular spot during Friday and weekends.

My wife told me the best burrito she had eaten was the surf and turf that we just ate. Their salsa... Spicy! 5/5 service Very friendly and always refilled the free chips.

No se como estén los otros platillos pero las enchiladas suizas estaban desabridas, solo con ver el color y la consistencia de la salsa supe que no iban estar buenas, el arroz que le acompañaba tampoco tenía sabor y había granos que estaban duros (tal vez viejos). La torta de lomo también nos decepcionó. Eran dos trozo de carne gruesos y tampoco tenían sabor. Si van, mejor ordenen el desayuno porque a las personas que estaban a un lado dijeron que estaba sabroso, era comida dulce pero no vi exactamente que era. I'm giving this place two stars because the service provided by the poor waitress was excellent, despite the fact that she was the only one serving customers. I can't speak for the other dishes, but the enchiladas suizas were bland. Just by looking at the color and consistency of the sauce, I knew they wouldn't be good. The accompanying rice was also flavorless, and some of the grains were hard (perhaps stale). The torta de lomo was also a disappointment. It consisted of two thick slices of meat that, likewise, lacked any flavor. If you do go, you're better off ordering breakfast, the people sitting next to us said theirs was delicious, it was a sweet dish, though I didn't see exactly what it was.

The food is almost worth the wait…read more Coming to this resturant on an empty stomach may not be the best idea. The wait time is long especially between 10-12pm. There isnt a ton of places to sit while waiting either, a few chairs outside. Once seated, the decore of the place is very nice. Not overly tacky but nicely placed talaveras around the resturant paying homage to the name and culture. The food does mexican breakfast justice & the portions make up for the long wait time. While a little pricey to me for eggs and tortillas, the food is good. What gives this restaurant it's 3 stars for me was the attitude of the staff. May have been an overly busy day and patience were running thin but my husband and I noticed that asking for additional coffee or salsa seems to bother the waitress. Getting her attention for the check and pay at the host stand felt the same as well. Again, might have been an off day but for me, hospitality and the lack of greatly discourages me returning to this resturant.
