Kalaveras is a gem! We came for lunch on Margarita Monday. We each got 2 tacos. The fish, barbacoa, and chicharron tacos were really delicious. We sat at the bar, Junior was our amazing and charismatic bartender, Jonny our fun and playful server. We ordered a couple of Bloody Mary's and the in house made mix was really delicious, thanks to Jaime in the back of house. Hopefully they get Karaoke or a DJ soon to be the cherry on top! We'll definitely be back. Thanks Junior and Jonny for the great time! read more

We were a party of 5 and noticed on the menus it said gratuity is added for parties greater than 6. Well my friend and i spilt the bill and neither of us realized that our server lied on the bill and said we were a party of 13 and gave her self a tip. My friend and i both tipped her separately and wasn't till we got home that we realized that combined she had gotten almost a 70$ tip! I called the restaurant and spoke to Ismael who said he would help but we never heard back from him. 0 stars. read more

I rarely complain about anything. But the service couldn't have been worse. I'm not expecting much but the attitude of the hostess was so off putting that couldn't trust what the kitchen might have in store. read more

Vanessa did an amazing job! Our first time at taco Tuesday and she explained everything so clearly. We loved the Mexican candy shot presentation and appreciated her going above and beyond presenting it read more

First time walking into a Kalaveras and first thing I noticed how hot it was in there. We were sat in the first room closer to Commonwealth st. We did ask if we could sit in the last room by the bar and they were quick to accommodate us. Our server was nice and quick to take our order. Food looked great. We ordered steak nachos but got to try the chicken nachos since they brought out the wrong ones. We did send them back after we realized we got the wrong ones. Steak was delicious and would definitely have again. The red tortilla tacos dorados were a fave. The cubed queso fresco was delicious with the salsa they come with. Usually I have grated cotija on tacos dorados but loved it. Also had the seafood tower, wasn't bad but I've had better ceviche to be honest. Our friends had the Dragon roll a fried CA roll. I didn't get to try it but they liked it. I'm more of a raw sushi girl so maybe next time. Everything was great but the drinks are not strong at all. We had lollipop shots, and I tried the Guavarita, couldn't taste the guava or the pineapple and worse of all the tequila, perhaps I need a stronger spirit lol. Drinks were definitely not strong. At least compared to other places where I've had the Mexican lollipop shots. They also have a room with a DJ and I saw a couple dancing. We were there on Friday night around 10:30pm. Was not busy at all. read more

Taco Tuesday tacos are only $2 each, but the quality and taste are way better than expected! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clean. I can easily eat 3 tacos because they're that good Their lunch menu is also reasonably priced and really tasty. And a special thank you to our server Manny -- he was so friendly, fun, and attentive throughout the meal. He made the experience even better, and I really appreciated his great service. Highly recommend! read more

Super delayed review, but the food, staff and, ambience checked all the boxes. We were a very large group and had Vanessa and Ronnie(I believe) helping us. They were so accommodating and attentive- unfortunately some of the party got stuck at work and showed up late, but at no point did we feel rushed and instead were met with such patience and understanding. We were checked in on various times, and they also made great recommendations on both drinks and food. The birthday girl had a blast celebrating her 85th and we ended the night dancing on the patio. Food was delicious as were the drinks. Very fun atmosphere. read more

We came to kalaveras and this very nice gentleman with a suit helped he was great! However Emanuel or I think that's his name; when I asked him for a skull with shots he said they didn't have anything (It was for a friends birthday.) All he said is he had shots with dry ice and that he's a manager and that he couldn't do anything. Then 30 minutes later they came out with a duck singing happy birthday with music and shots. He then comes to ask if we want it. After we had already asked for something similar. Next time just say you want us to leave and I will gladly take my business elsewhere. read more

Great service, really friendly waiter. Fantastic taco asada. Comes with a side of nacho chips as well. 10/10 recommend.

We were at the Rams/Chargers game at SoFi but didn't want to eat out there since I live in the OC and it was late. We decided to go to downtown Fullerton and this place looks lively. We ordered a tama-lindo margarita and a la Kalavera which is just a regular margarita. Both were sooooo good! Best margaritas I've had! For food we had the Barbacoa entree and the Lomo Saltado. I've never had either and these were delish! Definitely going to come back and try more items! Service was excellent! Food came out fast and our waiter was attentive. Love the way the place was decorated with all the neon lights etc. read more

Stopped by Kalaveras after taking the Surfliner from San Diego to Fullerton. Food was great, service was even better! Guacamole and pork rinds- especially yummy! Tried the tacos. We had Chicharrón, Pescado, and Camaron. All delicious! We liked the Chamoy rim on the Mango Michelada. Emanuel was a fun waiter. Hopefully you get him too! We ate on the patio but the interior looked fun (probably even more at night when they have live music). read more

Probably one of the worst dinning experiences Ive ever had my life. We were a party of 5 came here on Friday 8/28 to celebrate my husband's bday. We were the first table to be sat in the area where the band plays. The waitress took our drink order then came to our table to let us know the drinks were going to take a while to come out. Then she came back to take our food order. Then later came later and asked if we were ready to put in our drink order....Thats how much time had passed that she forgot she took our drink order 45 mins prior and still nothing was brought to us. Then the second time she wrote down our drink order the drinks that came out and were horrible. The michelada was warm! My mezcal drink tasted sour. When the food came out they didn't give us utensils. So we sat there just staring at our food for another long while. Then they brought out an ice cream scoop for my husband's bday and the ice cream was melted and again....no spoon to eat it with! Definitely never coming back to this place. read more

Emmanuel was great... food & drinks amazing. Will definitely be back.. ! .............. thank you! read more

Had a great experience during Super Bowl Sunday! The drinks were great and they had free cinnamon chips and plantains up for grabs!

I'm sorry but walking in and saying you need a reservation when there's 4 booths available it's ridiculous. I'll spend my money somewhere else. I walked in around 2:30pm and I checked to make a reservation and I could make a reservation for 2:45pm. Do you think it was necessary to have those booths empty with paying customers walking in? A big reason why my group and I decided to walk out on your business. BAD CALL FROM YOUR HOST OR MANAGER!! We were outside for another 25 minutes and observed no one else walked in with or without reservations. If I could give you 0 stars I would! read more

It's smaller than the other Kalaveras with 2 sides. The food was good and lots of portion. Definitely gotta try the candy shots it's so good! Fast service and attentive when I came. I love the vibe and atmosphere with loud music and cool decor read more

Paco was so kind and a great server! Food was good and drinks were great for happy hour.

Such a fun place and yummy taco Tuesday special! Vanessa and ronny awesome and fun!! Definitely recommend!!

Great customer sevice by our server Yatzin and the rest of the servers, she was always making sure if we needed something. The ambiance was nice, the place was vibrant and pleasant to be there. The only reason im giving a 4/5 is because the food is a little overpriced for what you get. Would go back? yes, but I would definitely consider the food part again. 2 enchiladas $20 read more

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and were looking forward to having a great evening. Unfortunately, what should have been a fun celebration was overshadowed by the completely inappropriate behavior of the bartender Tere. I went to grab a lemon slice from the bar, and the bartender physically blocked my hand and shoved my arm away. There was absolutely no reason for the situation to become physical. If I was not supposed to take the lemon, the bartender could have simply said so. There was no need to touch or shove my arm. She also became very rude and disrespectful, and when I asked her her name, she told me to "find out" myself. I asked our waitress for her name, she said it was Tere. What makes this even more disappointing is that this happened over something so minor. A professional employee should know how to communicate with customers respectfully and handle a simple situation without putting their hands on them. We were there to celebrate a birthday and enjoy dinner with friends. Instead, we left feeling extremely uncomfortable and disappointed. This type of behavior should not be tolerated by management. I strongly believe the bartender's conduct needs to be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. Customers should feel welcomed and respected not physically pushed away over a lemon slice. Management needs to take responsibility for how their employees treat paying customers. This was completely unnecessary and unacceptable! read more

Emmanuel was really attentive and made sure we had a great birthday night. I've been here before and he's by far the best server we've had!

Enmanuel was the best! We went on a Monday night for my best friends birthday and he made our night! Thanks Enmanuel ily

Bonny was so wonderful. Everything was delicious. The enchiladas Verde and the corn was so tasty. I even asked him if there were any t-shirts for sale and he checked but said they are coming in soon. Great experience. read more
