Bris was great, the ambiance and music is fun. Can't wait for the grand opening. $10 slushies were a hit. Free lights and music with 4 shots. read more

Kalaveras - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Came here for dinner with some friends mostly to try their mezcal drinks. I think this spot took over the space that used to be red lobster. We went on a Sunday night, it wasn't busy at all but maybe because it was raining. There was tons of parking as well as available seating. It's super dark in there I guess to make it more spooky ambiance lol and also they turned up the music pretty loud so we were kinda like yelling at each other when we were trying to have a conversation lol. As for the food, we got nachos and shrimp and mole enchiladas. I was really surprised how good it all tasted, but also I'm a big back so I was super hungry and hadn't eaten in hours lol. I also saw they have a pretty good happy hour and on Tuesday they have tacos for 1.50, so I will def come back to try that. As for the drinks I had tried 2, the el chamuco and fuego de dragon. Both were good but the habanero infused mezcal of the fuego de dragon was soooo good I ordered 2. Nice amount of spice and smoke from the mezcal. That was one of my favorite drinks I think I have ever had. Definitely going to be my go to permanent drink when I come here. I was really surprised how everything tasted although I felt it was a little on the pricey side. I got 3 drinks all above $16 each and most of the plates were more than $25. Regardless the drinks are so good and the food was flavorful so I would def come back. read more

Second time coming here and the service is absolutely amazing! Diana is by far the best server we've had. She has great customer service and is overall such a great person! We also had some food that was missing a few ingredients, we talked to her and she made a whole new batch to go. Such a great place! read more

Really good food and good drinks at very fair prices. Adriana was attentive and had great energy. There were a couple mishaps but logical as they are new and working out the kinks, they were very kind and accommodating in fixing any issue. read more

Kalaveras - Margarita flight - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Went for happy hour, not knowing what to expect. The wall of flowers and painted skulls was a nice touch. Ordered carne asada fries, queso birria tacos, and buffalo wings. The carne asada and birria was bland, no seasoning at all. Also had a skinny margarita which was overpriced at $10 considering it was happy hour. Overall disappointed and won't be going back. read more

We went shortly after they opened up in the morning time, and there was only one other customer in the restaurant. It is a huge restaurant to accommodate a lot of customers. I can see that Service could be slow without enough servers. We had the Carnitas entrée and it was so huge, we wish we had only ordered one and split it. The pork was very tender. The rice was very good as was the beans which were on a separate plate because there was not room for it with the big serving of rice and pork. They put a weird sauce on the side of the pork which you might want to ask them to hold. Their salsa is like nothing we had ever tasted before, had a very weird taste, and we could not determine what they put into it. It definitely was not a normal Mexican salsa. In fact, it left such a bad taste in my mouth, I couldn't get it out for hours and I hope to never taste it again. Since the restaurant is right across from Costco, it is a good place to stop and eat if you're hungry after shopping. We had hoped that they would have chilli Verde on the menu, but they did not. There were a lot of other great options to choose from and so we might try them again when we are in the area. I give them a four star. read more

We checked out this New Mexican restaurant. Snappy decor, clean interior and restrooms. A variety of comfy seating (tables, booths, bar seating options). Friendly service. Menu with a wide variety of choices. It was Taco Tuesday so we tried the taco bar. Really nice selection of meats and a section with all sorts of add on salsas, veggies, radishes, jalapeños. Overall we were quite pleased. read more

Food. Service. Ambiance. Friendly. Clean. Big portions. Delicious. Recommend. Thank you.

If I could give no stars I would. My husband and I went for taco Tuesday with a friend of ours on 2/24 around 6pm and everything was terrible. The waitress took atleast 10-15 minutes just to greet us. We all ordered our own round of tacos. The first round of tacos took about 15-20 minutes to come out of the kitchen and we hadn't even received our waters or drinks yet. The manager delivered the tacos so my husband asked if she could check on our drinks, she didn't and went right back to the kitchen. We eventually got our drinks and we figured we should order more tacos now since it was taking awhile. Our server seemed annoyed the entire time she interacted with us. THIS round of tacos took probably 40 minutes to come out and we asked our server why it took so long and she blamed the "new system". My husband ordered a margarita at 7:03, and didn't get his drink until he walked up to the bar to get it himself which at this time it was 7:33. The bartender had two guests at the bar, one of which had to be her friend or boyfriend because all her attention was on him instead of the tickets being printed for her to make and seemed as if my husband asking for his drink was the most rudest thing in the world, shooting him dirty looks and rolling her eyes. (His drink had also just been sitting there) She then proceeded to talk badly about our table to our sever in an obvious manner that we could hear and see. We let the manager know what was going on and the server came over and started ARGUING saying we were "trippin" and that we were lying and that none of that happened, the manager had to pull her away. It was the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen at a restaurant take place. We will never be going back. With a staff like that this place won't last another couple months. read more

I walked into this place for the first time yesterday Wednesday at 650pm Happy hour ends at 7pm I sit at the bar and the bartender leaves for 10 mins and retunra at 7pm when Happy hour ends? Nice, I told him you left at 650 and returned at 700 now Happy hours is over He did not say anything, did not apologize, and did not offer the drink at Happy hour 1. 2. I sit at a booth for 30 mins and had to ask for menus, but was never acknowledged. I paid for my drink and walked out, and will never return Service sucks!!!!!!!! I heard the food sucks too, rice stinks!! Owner check your food and staff or you wont be there long read more

A time was had thank you to Jorge for being amazing!! Will be coming back soon drinks were soo good they never disappoint food 10/10

Food was great especially the fajitas and the tacos and the dipping sauce. Straight to the point service. Is style is nice and new inside. Not too many good Mexican food restaurants anymore. This one is the best in the area for sure. read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon for brunch because I had heard it was a new spot and this place supposedly had good food. First off, the food was good, BUT it was cold. Which to me is unacceptable since only 15% of the restaurant was filled. And they forgot my beans on the chilaquiles, which was super disappointing considering it was $18 base with a $4 charge to add chorizo. The service was okay, I purchased the $20 bottomless mimosa which is a great deal, but only if they come to your table once you finish your glass and not take forever to fill it. I liked the ambiance, the music was great and I liked the decorations, I just feel like they really need to work out the kinks. The cost does not seem worth it. If you want good Mexican food that's affordable, go to El Rio 5 minutes away and you'll be completely blown away for half the price. Overall, I wouldn't come here again. read more

Lesly/Bris was amazing waitress we had gone to Kings and queen before and came in seeing how different it is. The only thing wish kalaveras had is louder music it was a bit quiet when we walked in but that's only when we walked in. WOW we ordered 2 shots and our waitress Lesly made us aware that if we ordered 2 more we get a show and of course we said yes. You really get your moneys worth with those shots the food was amazing although they had a small food option it was great. We had so much fun with the show they did, son gente de ambiente it was our first time and we're already planning our next outting there all thanks to Lesly she did a amazing job and gave us a 10/10 experience !!! read more

Kalaveras - What I ordered aguachiles I wish they were a little more raw but still really good - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

I don't really understand what the draw is to this place. We food was just okay nothing special. My margarita wasn't great I've had much better elsewhere. I also tried a special margarita second (blended I think it was the Mango Slushie) and it was disgustingly sweet. I didn't finish it. And the noise....there were a couple birthdays throughout and the music gets cranked so loud you feel like you are in a Hollywood or Vegas club. I didn't find that enjoyable at all at a restaurant where you couldn't hear the person across from you speaking. If the food and drinks were amazing it probably wouldn't have bothered me as much. But not worth it. read more

Best service are waitress Sara was awesome she was constantly making sure our table was okay and asked if we needed anything the food was delicious and we got our drinks and food in fast timing. Hands down this place was wonderful I recommend it 100% percent. read more

Kalaveras - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

When we came in it was empty there was only three other groups in the restaurant. We started off with the dragon roll and this was my least favorite thing that we ordered. The tempura on the outside was very different than regular sushi and the roll had a very strange after taste. The next thing we ordered was the queso birria this was good, lacking cheese but tasted like normal birria tacos. We also ordered barbacoa... this was not barbacoa this was birria. It was the same consomé and meat that was used from the birria. Other than that the service was okay but at least they had good music. Sadly I will not be returning which sucks because I heard that it was as good as kings and queens read more

Our waitress had a slight attitude and not too welcoming. The food was just ok. We are not going back for sure.

Food was good. Service was good. Will be looking forward to trying the Sunday breakfast buffet.

Went here for the first time. Service was very good, food was pretty okay. The ambiance, for me was horrible. The music so loud couldn't carry on a conversation across the table. Won't be back read more

Came here on a slow Thursday and left pretty disappointed. The only positive thing was that our drinks were pretty good: highly recommend the guavarita! It took our server almost 20 mins just to come take our drink orders and then then another 30 mins after that to order food. Once we finished our food, she gave us our check and chatted with some guys at the bar for at least 15 mins, disappeared for another 10, and then came to grab the cards. Pretty ridiculous for a night where maybe 20% of the tables were filled and they had multiple servers. Food was decent. Not sure if I'd return if the service continues to be like this. read more

The ambiance is lively, hip and fun, the table next to us had a birthday celebration so all of the staff came out with lights dancing and singing to make the dinner fun and memorable! The food was good as well. The Margarita flight was yummy. We came on a Friday night so it was busy. A bit pricey but I would come back! read more

Poor service and overpriced. Do not plan to go there again any time soon. They need a better management crew.
