Understandably, this location just opened, yet for the price of the food, you would not expect the service to be as bad as it was for my group. We came for a lunch break, arrived at 12:05, immediately seated. Our waiter was a little lagging and took our order around 12:20pm. We got our food around 12:53 and two of the three orders was wrong! We asked if they can make an adjustment because we didnt have the time to get the order replaced. They said they could not do this. Seeing that we had to leave in a few minutes, we decided to take it as is and try to eat as quickly as possible. Rated badly for not being flexible with adjustments and for taking so long to deliver food. The positive is that the food was good, not worth the price, but good. read more

New Location in orange now open! I love the ambiance and the service was wonderful. Some amazing things: -The service! -The chips and Salsa! -Food was DELICIOUS -Bathrooms were clean. -Host was great and welcoming -Waitress was telling us her recommendations and whenever we had a question about an item we saw or drink she would tell us. TALK ABOUT KNOWLEDGEABLE Some things to be mindful of: --The parking lot is a small space behind the building. Do not suggest large trucks in this lot. --appetizers came right before entrees (need some time to enjoy my guacamole) --I ordered the Barbacoa entree and I never got my beans and rice :( I was looking forward to trying those. I hope to get them next time --Not sure if they have a kids menu , but my child was not offered one. I know this is a soft opening so I can't wait to go back and see how it is when all the kinks and new hires get in the groove of service :) But will definitely be back soon!! read more

Celebrated my Birthday on taco Tuesday. Taco bar was great along with the happy hour drink specials.

I had been waiting for this spot to open in my neighborhood. I've been to some of the other locations and always enjoyed the food and the vibe, but now I don't have to drive so far. I love the decor, the music, the atmosphere and food is good! Even though it was pretty full during my visit, I appreciate the service that I received from Yoseli! She was professional, attentive and quick. Gracias Yoseli! read more

Stumbled upon Kalaveras on yelp when looking for a Taco Tuesday spot, and it did not disappoint! Yummy food & lots of options, fun vibes, and wonderful service. We came in around 9:30pm and were able to squeeze in two rounds of tacos with so many options of meats like chorizo and chicharron (including mushroom&corn--which was good too). They're cute-sized and for $1.49 each, getting 8 had me stuffed with the chips & extensive salsa bar, all the grilled onions, and a margarita (oh and the fun mexican candy shot they persuaded us to get that was lit aka literally on fire haha). Our sweet server Rosie made sure we were well taken care of and was able to get us more tacos in the back after they closed the taco bar. One of the assistant managers Brianna heard it was my birthday the next day so they surprised us with a whole song and brought us a little churro dessert with ice cream. The ambiance and music inside made the vibes even better! Will definitely be coming back on another Taco Tuesday ...or any weeknight because there's always a cool special depending on the day... or that intriguing bottomless mimosa/michelada brunch buffet on the weekend. Thanks for making a spontaneous late night bite so great, my friends and I loved it! read more

Came to check out the new location with a group of friends for my birthday/gender reveal. The staff is super nice and upbeat specially our waitress Amy. Amy is so considerate and nice she helped with our gender reveal to our friends and was able to help us share this special moment and went above and beyond for us in doing this. The food and atmosphere is nice we would definitely come back again. read more

Came in for a soft opening (they were still finishing off the paint and installing TVs) but I can assure you that the restaurant is ready to go! Ordered the Taquitos Dorados ($15,) four colortul corn tortillas with your choice of chicken or potato and chorizo. lopped with arugula mix, the Jarrito Loko ($17): Silver Tequila, lime, agave, watermelon puree, Jarritos soda, and an absolute essential: the blood bag cocktail. The staff were cordial and professional, the chips and salsa were complimentary, and the vibes were at an all time high, all things considered. The space used to be occupied by The Chili Pepper, which was an institution, but I truly believe that the staff at Cantina Urbana Kalaveras will continue the tradition, and entertain Orange County for years to come. Cheers! read more

Food was great guacamole is fresh, We had agua de Sandia so good. Our server was Rosie, she was dancing smiling, and VERY attentive. She was so sweet and proffesional she has the best vibe. Definitely coming back, not super busy , came on a Thursday for lunch. Again service was great!!​ read more

Ismael is the best very attentive and fast service. Food is great and the taco tuesday bar cant be beat. Some people were sitting there and chowing down. I do feel like it would be irritating to work there as you have to print out the exact amount of tacos they want. If they want more you are running to get the slip again the happy hour is probably better than the tiny taco bar tavos. The only thing i would complain about is parking. It's so tight back there and the amount of people drinking inside the restaurant you are bound to come out of the restaurant with a scratch or dent on your car. I would probably go to the HB location just for the parking alone read more

My husband and I had a great time. Great music, and good vibes. Everything we had was amazing - especially the queso fundido. Alejandra L was a great server, recommending us drinks - she nailed it. I had La Vela and my husband had the Guayabera! They were both very refreshing. I recommend trying their homemade flan, the cajeta dressing and strawberries really did it justice We were afraid that the ambience was going to be too clubby/barish but we were happy to find so many families with children enjoying their Saturday evening. read more

Amy was so nice and made the experience at Kalaveras so great! I highly recommend the guava margarita and the pasta a la diabla! read more

The food was good but the only thing that bothered me was the music. It was loud and inside was too dark. Is this supposed to be a disco or a restaurant? I saw that in other reviews people also were complaining about the music. So, as you the owner read this review with other reviews maybe you should reconsider your music. read more

Tried this spot out with a friend for dinner. I wanted something light to eat and had the kalaveras salad and really enjoyed it..the dressing is what made it..loved that vinaigrette tang..the drinks were just right. They seem to get pretty busy (and loud) on Friday night and not sure if reservations are needed since we sat at the bar. Would definitely go back. read more

Im so glad they finally have a Happy Hour Menu, now I have a reason to go here other than for Taco Tuesday since this is place is pretty pricey. Great Atmosphere and Tacos! The food is awesome and I really dig the vibe and music, just ease up on the constant Bad Bunny songs, place can get rowdy and loud when's there is a birthday and the servers bring out the Matraca read more
