Sunday Buffet for $29.99 from 9 to 2 today. Girls got together at 12. Half dining area was filled. We started to have waffles, strawberry pancakes, chocolate crepes, many mexican cuisines including tacos, enchiladas, crab salad, shrimp salad, sausages, potatoes, beans, rice, and fried chickens...and fruits, flan, and more desserts. Soooo good! Very organized, fresh, yummy...everything. I got the magarita w lime for $12.95 and other girls got mimosa drinks. I saw a large party of people had b day more than 4 times during Sunday Brunch. That is why I felt party vibes all the way. Whohoo!!! Fun! Great vibes, great foods, Only one thing for me to remember that they charge 3% extra for credit card payment. I will definitely come again for Sunday Buffet. read more

We tried the Sunday brunch and were immediately impressed that it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. The setup looked great, with multiple stations and a wide variety of options. Unfortunately, the food quality didn't match the presentation. Most of the dishes were only lukewarm at best, the burners didn't seem to keep anything hot. The taco station was especially disappointing; the carnitas, beef, and chorizo were all sitting in excessive oil, which made them unappetizing. Draining the fat would make a big difference and show more care in what's being served. The fresh handmade tortillas were a highlight, but the pancakes and waffles were also lukewarm and could have been much better. The flan was not prepared correctly, was overly soft and questionable in texture. The enchiladas had good flavor, cheesy and well-filled with beef, but again, they were only lukewarm. On a positive note, the ceviche station was well done, with four fresh options kept properly chilled on ice. Service was great, servers were attentive and friendly, and the agua fresca de jamaica was refreshing. However, both my husband and I ended up getting sick afterward, which is very concerning. Final verdict 2.5 stars: we won't be returning. Proper food temperature and safety are critical. There is free parking available in the back. read more

Kalaveras is a popular Mexican chain in SoCal. This location is sitting next to the Steelcraft in Bellflower. The inside is a lot larger than I expected! I came on a random weekday lunch and it was pretty quiet. The service was a little lacking, as they didn't come refill water often. The food was quite good though! I really enjoyed my Fajitas plate. However, the Asada Fries were pretty bland. I wish the added some sort of sauce on it. Overall, Kalaveras is just a solid Mexican chain. read more

If I could rate this place zero stars, I absolutely would. This is the second time I've visited this establishment, and once again the service was completely subpar. The first time I brushed it off because I was with friends and didn't want to make a scene. This time I was alone, and the experience was just as bad--so bad that I ended up leaving with nothing more than a complimentary drink instead of a proper meal. Let's be honest about something: the energy here doesn't feel welcoming at all. The racism isn't subtle--it's loud. You can feel it in the way you're treated compared to others around you. And another thing... I have never in my life been to a Mexican restaurant where you have to explicitly request chips and salsa because the staff claims they "don't want to waste food." That makes absolutely no sense. A simple solution would be to ask customers what they want instead of creating an awkward experience. Bellflower location... yeah, that explains a lot. Maybe try moving this same operation to Beverly Hills and see how long that attitude lasts. And just to be clear--I will be back. Not because the service was good, but because no one gets to make me feel uncomfortable in a place open to the public. No one can move me. So here's some advice: get your establishment together ASAP. Treat people with respect, fix the service, and start paying attention to how customers are actually treated when they walk through your doors. read more

My wife found a new Taco place. So we tried for lunch on Taco Tuesday. The price is $1.99 per Taco. The size is tiny. They use white corn tortillas even chips. I like yellow corn tortillas. But the flavors of my crunchy tocos were really good. My wife tested 2 asada soft tacos. She liked the Taco bar, she took lots of toppings including salsa, jalapeño pickles, carrot pickles, cucumbers, chopped onions, lots of chopped cilantro. Unlimited.... First, soft Taco was good, tiny size. We both liked the spicy salsa. Second, my crunchy Taco plate, only 2 tacos w rice, beans. I loved the Spanish rice. It was great. I can come for the rice only. Third, my wife's pick, 3 empanada plate w salsa, sour cream, spicy mayo. She liked all of them. The lighting is so dark. The music is not too loud. The vibes are casual, vivid colored Mexican style. They have happy hour from 2 Mon to Fri. $10 for margaritas, some appetizers are 7.50. I noticed the parking was not the private, 2 hours limit on the public parking in the back of building. My wife said, they charge 3% surcharge for cedit card payment. We will be back for the margaritas, tacos.... read more

I went on Valentines day with my boyfriend, and we had a reservation for 630 pm. It did not take long for us to get seated. The hostess who seated us at that time was really nice, and I was very understanding that it was a busy night for them and they were all trying their best to get everyone seated as much as possible. The ambiance was nice and vibrant. Our server, I forgot his name, but he was very nice and funny. He gave my boyfriend and me great recommendations. While ordering, he recommended this pink girly alcoholic drink to me, which tasted like strawberries, and it was delicious! While waiting for our food, we were eating chips and salsa that beforehand, and it was really good, so we had to get a second round of it. My boyfriend ordered this blood orange alcoholic drink, and he loved it so much that he got two as well! As for food i ordered the blackened rib eye steak, and it was DELICIOUS. I got medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The side dishes that came with it were very good. My boyfriend ordered the Parillada, which comes with shrimp, chicken, beef, sausage, and a few side dishes as well, like rice, beans, veggies, salsa, and tortillas (the tortillas were nice and warm). The shrimp on that plate was my favorite. Both alcoholic drinks and the entrees were delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. Overall, the place was nice and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. I would come back here again. read more

We were in Downey for an event and decided to stop by Kalaveras Bellflower for a drink and bite to eat afterwards. There is a good sized parking lot located behind the restaurant. The ceilings are black, and it is lit a little dimly including some black lights which really makes the neon signs and bright paint colors inside pop. There are all booths towards the rear entrance, and a mix of tables and booths in front. We sat at a table in front, and over ten minutes had gone by and none of the servers had acknowledged us yet. They just kept walking by, and I finally had to flag somebody down to get menus. We started out with a few cocktails and chips and salsa with an order of guacamole. The chips were good, and the salsa had a smoky flavor. The guacamole was good, but it had large cubes of avocado in it. We both prefer the avocado mashed up well, and we wouldn't order the guacamole again. I had the Jarrito Loko cocktail (Lunazul Reposado, lime, agave, watermelon puree, Jarrito's soda, $14). It comes in a nicely decorated mug with a partial Tajin rim. It had a great watermelon flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and reminded me of a watermelon Jolly Rancher. It was very refreshing, and I didn't notice any carbonation from the soda. It was the best watermelon margarita I've had in a while. She had the El Chamuco cocktail (Los Javis Mezcal, lime, agave, passion fruit, mango puree, $15). - It was mezcal forward and very smoky to me, but the passion fruit and mango flavors help tone it down a bit. She really enjoyed it. I originally wanted to order the Enchiladas de Camaron, but the server informed me that they were out of shrimp. Instead, I ordered the Carne Asada plate ($28). The cut of meat was large and marinated. It had good flavor and was filling. It came with the same chunky guacamole. She wasn't very hungry, and just had the Taquitos Doridos appetizer ($7.99) which she enjoyed. So, why only three stars? We weren't aware, but Sunday evening is Banda Night with live music. After we got our drinks and chips and guacamole, the band started playing and it was insanely loud. Ordering our entrees was almost impossible, and I had to scream at the server so she could hear me. At this point, all we could do is sit and wait for our food because conversation was not an option. We couldn't wait to finish eating and leave. Service got off to a slow start initially, but was ok overall. We enjoyed the food and drinks, but the extremely loud music killed the dinner for us. read more

My wife and I went for brunch on Saturday 5/2 and my wife's food was cold mind was good. The service was very slow it took a long time for the server to take are order. And it seemed our drink order was forgotten about. And didn't check on our table until we we almost done. No a great experience. read more

I was staying with friends nearby and it was taco Tuesday. Tip: get two tacos at a time for more meat. They skimped on the meat on my first plate of six to make it fit the plate I guess. The tacos were good, I liked the carnitas better than the asada. All of the salsas went great with the tacos. It's nice having the toppings bar for you to customize. read more

Checked out this location in Bellflower for the first time yesterday. Ordered some quesa birria tacos, it comes with 3 tacos, consumme, some garnishes, and some spicy yellow salsa. The Birria tacos were delicious, super tasty, loaded with flavors, and they were generous with the protein. We did get some free chips and salsa. The Salsa and chips tasted fresh and made in house. Service was great, our sever was great. She as super nice, friendly and helpful. Recommended her favorites. I have mix feelings about the ambiance... I think the music was blasting way too loud. It was hard to have a conversation over the loud music they were playing. Then I guess there were a few birthday celebrations so the servers help celebrate the birthday so they come out making a ton of noise. I guess it's nice if you're celebrating it but i honestly think it was a bit overwhelming lol. I didn't like how the restaurant deemed the lights even more towards the evening. It was a bit too dark for me at the restaurant. Anyways, not a big deal with the ambiance since the food and service made up for it. read more

The food here was good or maybe I was really hungry... I got the taquitos dorados (5 pc). They were no toppings other than crema, salsa and a sprinkle of arugula. They messed up my sisters customized vegan burrito, and came back with the burritos "fixed" but it was still not how she ordered it. She just ate it because she was just too hungry at that point. Service was not great, took 20 minutes after being seated to meet our waiter. I think there may have been a shift change because our table got forgotten about for like 40 minutes. Our new waiter was our only saving grace when it came to us finally getting our food. She gracefully gave us an appetizer freebie for the extra wait although my sister couldn't eat it because it was not vegan. Getting the check after eating took maybe 20 minutes although I think that's because they were printing the photos the photographers walking around took of us. It did feel like we were held hostage for a while there cause it's not like we can leave without paying. Honestly it may have been the section we were seated in because I noticed a table of 6 come in way after us, but get attended by a waiter before us, get their drinks first, their food first, and their check first. Seeing that in front of our faces while we were hungry did not feel too great. As far as ambiance, felt like a club with club music. Honestly, it was just a really bad idea to come here night before Mother's Day. Got there at 8:30 finally left at like 10:30 read more

We had the cilantro rice here when they first opened. And it is WOW!!! But I haven't seen it in a couple of years. Other items we've tried here... QUESO FUNDIDO (Chorizo and mustrooms) = delicious Chicken TAQUITOS DORADOS = delicious .... This is my go to when I'm here just for the drinks. Their Tacos Gobernador are also good. My hubby says their Aguachiles are okay. He likes super spicy. Their drinks are good. Sometimes they are great. I think it all depends on who's working that night. The drinks and food have great presentation. This location can get packed. Nice views when there are parades or car shows. Suffice parking. Chill spot for friends and family. No reservation needed. Staff is nice but at times they can seem very busy and sometimes lack checking up on you. Pricing is reasonable. Always a fun place read more

So I came here a back in August for a friends birthday which was a great brunch. 39.99 buffet and bottomless drinks. I went yesterday and it is now 29.99 buffet but drinks are no longer included. NO LONGER INCLUDED. While checking out we looked at our check and LUIS was trying to charge us 18% gratuity (which applies to a party of 6). It was only 5 of us when he caught the over charge we let him and yes it was changed but come on !!!! PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR BILL WHEN CHECKING OUT AND READ IT. THEY WILL OVER CHARGE YOU. read more

Kalaveras is our go-to Mexican spot in the Long Beach area. Good food, good vibes, and the atmosphere and music just puts you in a good mood. The ambiance gives weekend-y vibes if that makes sense lol. In terms of food, what I liked: Pasta A la Diabla (favorite), enchiladas, nachos, guacamole Not so much: Taquitos, queso fundido The cocktails I would say are solid. They have a massive selection of cocktails and spirits so you're bound to find something you like. As far as the service, when we dine in everything is relatively speedy. When ordering for take out, sometimes the food is a little longer than the estimated time. read more
