    Kali burrito
    Justin J.

    Was in Burbank and had never been to this restaurant, so decided to give it a try. Not sure what was previously in the space, but it looked fun. Walked in, didn't have a reservation but was able to get seated right away. Started off with the esquites with a garlic aioli, cotija cheese and chili powder. The garlic didn't come through at all, which was disappointing, really felt it needed that garlic aioli to come though to make it pop. For entrees, we got the combination plate and the Kali burrito. The combination plate, you build yourself with two or three items between tacos, enchiladas , chili relleno or taquitos. The items were decent but weren't necessarily memorable. The Kali burrito, on the other hand, was very tasty. It comes stuffed with asada, shrimp, fries, jack cheese, and avocado, among other things. A lot going on but very flavorful. Also got a cocktail, just can't remember which one it was, but it was good. Kalaveras is a newer spot in Burbank serving up Mexican style food with a California flare. Would definitely recommend the Kali burrito, and the cocktail was decent. The combination plate isn't bad but doesn't pop either. You can skip the esquites.

    Made reservations for Cinco De Mayo and was super excited to try this new place! Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant when I walked in. Plenty of big screens on the wall to watch your favorite teams. Music playing loud enough to still have conversation at your table. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The hubs and I ordered the beef fajitas and my kids ordered the $1.99 tacos ( taco Tuesday special) They have a table full of tacos garnish and sauces for everyone to serve themselves. Which i thought was clever. Ordered a couple of drinks for happy hour, they were pretty delish! Our fajitas came out in a small skillet with onions , bell peppers and jalapeños. They looked really good! Came with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice and corn tortillas. I was a little disappointed even though they fajitas had a great taste they were tough to bite apart. I was struggling to chew the meat. They rice and beans were very delicious though. The tacos of asada, carnitas were very delicious! Seasoned perfectly. I will definitely come try again and something new on the menu.

    Pit Stop at Kalaveras Burbank!

    Walking down Burbank's Amazing Strip we Stopped for "Taco Tuesday" @ Kalaveras (I do Miss Fudruckers Burger's). It was On and We Basically had the Hole Restaurant to Ourselves. Tacos are $1.99 Street Style but the Salsa Bar Offsets the Smaller Size Tacos. Very Nice Atmosphere and lots of Parking!!! * Definitely worth a Taco Tuesday Visit!

    The service was ok. The food nothing spectacular. Not a place I would go back to. Too pricy, noisy and over all not a great experience.

    big boy was enjoying his alcoholic drink while working!

    Got here at 11:40 was told last call is at midnight. We ordered fast before you know it we were being told to pay, but not to leave. Never have we ever experienced this at this location and we are locals I don't recommend coming at what time we did. The servers were talking nonsense among themselves as if they wanted everybody out they also turned the lights on pretty early. My wife and I realized the place is ugly and is need of renovation. The food was good overall my wife ordered the birria tacos and salmon salad.

    Another mediocre restaurant in Burbank. We were excited to try this place as an alternative to Don Cuco's, but it was disappointing. We should have known better when we walked in for dinner and the restaurant was 90% empty, employees were just standing around chatting. Our waiter was polite, and asked us if it was our first time - we said yes. After we ordered, I asked if they give chips and salsa (as most Mexican restaurants do when you come in), he said it is upon request.. ok, sure, bring some... he brought one small basket for a party of 6. Food taste was not tasty, children's mac and cheese was a total disaster. Drinks were skinny marg's tasted like a sugary processed juice with barely any alcohol. Unimpressed...

    This place has one of my favorite Happy Hours in the Valley! First, I'd like to pour one out for the North Hollywood location, which was my local Kalaveras, until it closed recently. I loved the Happy Hour there, and found myself there several times over the years I've lived in NoHo. That said, this location is still close enough, and since I'm a regular over at AMC, we get to this side of town a lot too. So, like I said, the Happy Hour's where it's at for me at Kalaveras. The frozen margaritas are all excellent, and at $10, who can beat it? We tried the asada fries too (my personal favorite, $8), the taquitos (also $8 and very tasty) and the birria queso taco trio (again, $8 and delicious). The flavors are great, the portions are reasonable, and the vibe inside is fun and colorful. The servers have been good to us every time we go, and they're consistently checking on your food and drink. The music can get a little loud sometimes, particularly towards the end of Happy Hour, so it definitely might not be your vibe if you want to have a lower-decibel conversation. After Happy Hour ends, I'm usually out of there, because it starts to feel a little more dance club-y and not so restaurant-focused (i.e. louder and a tad bit more raucous). See ya soon, Kalaveras!

    False advertising right here!! It clearly shows it's $6.99 yet they still charge $10 during Margarita Monday!!
    Jessica R.

    One star for Margarita Monday and the false advertising of this place. They advertised it as $6.99 for Margarita Monday all day yet still charged us $10 for each Margarita! When we asked, the waitress claimed it was because it was a slushy, yet they are listed as the same price on the menu. Please remove the sign on your door that says $6.99 if you aren't going to charge this! Not to mention the addition of extra fees that you neglect to tell your customers about when they use credit cards. This is also an illegal practice, You have the nerve to even have a display of the margaritas and say they are $6.99. The display even features slushies! Please remove this if you aren't going to abide by it! You are luring in customers with the false promise of a deal. Also one star for rude customer service! I will never come to your institution again and will tell everyone I know to not come as well!

    We were hungry and decided to give this place our first try because their menu online seemed to have some decent options. When we got there, we were seated immediately. This is not your typical warm Mexican restaurant. This more a sports bar/club layout with some weird purple neon light inside. At most Mexican restaurants the waiters/waitresses are upbeat with lots of personality. The one we had was cold, displayed no personality but was efficient. The food was surprisingly good. Will we come back? Maybe. The food is worth it but the service needs to improve.

    i came here to celebrate my birthday with my family and i'm so happy that i did! this place has the best energy! it's lovely and so entertaining! so much to look at on the walls, great music and it's loud but not that loud. is very tolerable. it's just such a fun lively environment! i had so much fun! even the kids enjoyed it! the customer service is enough to make me come back alone! 10/10 Ruben, the chef, our server Angel, and Robert made my experience so special. they went above and beyond for our table. the food is 1000/10 i want to come back and try more off the menu! i highly recommend this place, i'll definitely be coming back here! it's great for large parties or small, great times and even better food. everything we ordered was SO GOOD! i got full off the dragon roll alone, they food is plentiful here so good! the customer service is literally the best i've ever had at any restaurant. i love it here i cannot wait to come back! ps: the bday celebration is $75, it's fun

    I've been to maybe 6 different Kalaveras; I've had bad experiences at almost all of them except this one and Silverlake. The Noho one is closest to my house, but I had such a bad experience I've not been back and have been reluctant to write a review, but maybe soon. Now for this location, probably my favorite of the kalaveras so far, I came here on a weekday around 3 pm, and it was empty. Happy hour was just starting, and staff was just chilling, waiting for people to come in. Once we walked in, we were attended to quickly; our waiter, a gentleman, sat us down and immediately went to bat for us. This guy was extremely amazing and attended to all our needs. Explained the happy hour menu and got us our happy hour drinks. My wife ordered her enchiladas not on happy hour, and I got my happy hour wings. The food was delicious; I enjoyed my wings. The only downside about these wings in Burbank is that in Silver Lake I get 8 wings during happy hour, but here I got 5, so I was a little sad when I saw only 5 wings instead of 8. But they were still so good, and I got a happy hour quesadilla as well. The waiter kept constantly checking on us, refilling our drinks and removing dirty plates in a timely manner. The food and everything was fresh and was given to us quickly. I must say this is the best service I've received at any of the Kalaveras locations. The whole restaurant is big, the biggest I've seen by far, and they have their usual music playing, and they have a unique menu of food and drinks. Those long yards I have yet to see at the other locations, so getting myself an Adios Long Yard or a Long Island for $10 was amazing. Overall this location was a great addition to the city and so far seems to be the best of the Kalaveras I've visited, so this means I will most likely return to this one more often than the others. Can't wait to be back for happy hour!

    It might not be the highest ever quality Mexican food but the vibes always make up for it. Good for a last minute birthday brunch or meal and drinks with coworkers!

    I love coming here , it's so nice having Kalaveras here in Burbank. It's a great location, nice and open, the ambiance is lively and friendly. They always have good music that makes you want to dance , and the service has always been good. Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, and clean. The food always hits the spot. I recommend the potato flautas , and the tacos are my go to. Margaritas are a hit, Overall this place never disappoints.

The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation.

The side of lemon-pepper fries were hand cut and crispy, though the citrusy tang wasn't my thing. A tad less successful was my Pastrami Sandwich. The meat, listed as house-made, had good flavor but was tough. The kale slaw with it also had good flavor, and the slight bitterness was a nice foil for the rich pastrami. Onion rings were excellent, and (regardless of the lemon-pepper) the better bet as a side. All in all, this is a great, comfy place with good menu and a really welcoming staff. I'd go back in a heartbeat to try the wings and pizza, both of which looked excellent when delivered to neighboring tables.

    The service, the vibe, the FOOD!! All amazing every single time!!! Once I'm in here I realize how…read moremuch I missed being here from the last time I was here. We stopped by for happy hour today and the Chardonnay was on point. The bbq chicken pizza, the club sandwich (ask for sauce on side if ur not a spicy eater like me), bbq chicken tacos and we asked for side of their sweet potato fries and ranch cuz those r must haves each visit. Delicious, finger licking good food! I also realized I can stop cooking dinner for the fam and just come here anytime. I plan to come back for brunch on the weekend now that I know they added that too! I'm so excited. Thank you for having such a fine establishment with great food and service always. Perfect for date night, outing with the fam, sports night, just because, legit - anytime!!
