Went here with some friends. The food was great and the mood and decor of the ENTIRE place was and IS SO BEAUTIFUL! The employees were very happy to serve us and incredibly kind to me and my friends. I ordered the magarita slush and asked for one shot and got ABSOLUTELY SLOSHED. Talk about a lightweight! I can't remember the name of our server but she was very very kind and patient with my friends and I. Will be coming again, thank you! 5/5 read more

Food and drinks were delicious! I ordered Chicken Mole Enchiladas and my partner had the Asada Plate. The asada was flavorful and juicy honestly out of this world. Enchiladas were delicious and had a very rich mole sauce. Parking is iffy depending on if you're familiar with the neighborhoods or what time you come. there's a small lot next door and a good amount of street parking if you're willing to walk a little block. The music is loud and the lights are dim with some neon ambiance lights which is a fun little vibe but I wouldn't recommend for a family unless you're okay with less talking or honestly sitting outside would be nice too! The service was great as well. I unfortunately forgot our servers name but she was very sweet and attentive to the party until later in the evening when it took a while to get our check sorted out but it's to be expected on a busy Saturday night in Redondo. I would return for a bday or special event. I'm interested in trying out their brunch too! read more

Love this place! It's in a great location minutes walk to Redondo Beach. There's a patio and plenty of metered parking. I ordered ceviche and a combo plate that included chile relleno, chicken enchilado and a soft taco with asada meat. My waiter was very friendly, attentive and professional. There's lots of tv's around the restaurant and has a fun vibe to it. read more

Let's start off by saying, there was no one at the front to serve or seat anyone each time someone was waiting at the door. The workers talk way too much and aren't paying attention to the customers. The decor was just ok, but the music was good. The drink called soft serve margaritas was nasty and too sweet. It should be sold as a soft serve froyo. There was not a hint of liquor in it, and they have the nerve to brag about it. That's a laugh! The wings I ordered were tough to chew and flavorless and over priced. The menu said $7.99 and I was charged $12.00. You guys watch out. The Asada salad bowl was not good. The meat was undercooked and gave my friend a really bad stomach ache. This place is not worth the hype they get. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Kalaveras is not the spot to go...trust me. read more

My go to!! Their lunch specials & daily specials are to die for. My favorite is the chicken taquitos but this trip we started with the margarita sampler (big smile) and had two lunch specials (drool). My husband rated the combination plate with 1 cheese enchilada and 1relleno a 10 out of 10. I had a combination plate with two crispy shell tacos, and I would rate it an 9/10. I had a couple bites that were a little fattier than I would like but that is a personal choice I think. It was so much delicious food. We will definitely be back. Our favorite (not pictured) is the cheese dip on their appetizer menu. (We tried this last time from the happy hour menu) read more

came by to celebrate my friend graduating and they did not disappoint. as it was our first time, we weren't really sure what to expect but they definitely exceeded. the drinks were amazing, stronger than any other place i've been to so the price was definitely worth it. we got so many different kinds but my favorite was definitely the mai tai. you might wanna grab a couple of mexican candy shots! as far as food, i ordered the culichi roll, it's obviously not traditional sushi but it was still flavorful and great. our server was the best, if only i could remember his name. he made sure every table he was serving was hyped the entire time. other staff members we interacted with were also amazing and kind people. definitely would be coming back! read more

5 stars for great service! Came in on a Thursday night and we were seated immediately. Food came with complementary chips and salsa, and the price was certainly up to par with the quality! The restaurant was very clean and well lit, nice decorations. Will come again soon :) read more

The place is super lively and for birthdays they have bright neon signs, birthday shoutouts, and sing. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for energy and fun. Heads up though: it gets loud. If you're coming with a group bigger than 2, it can be kinda hard to hear each other without yelling across the table. I got the margarita flight. The cucumber one was hands down my favorite! Refreshing and not too sweet. The others were a bit too sugary for my taste, but still fun to try. read more

I loved this place--until I didn't. It was Cinco de Mayo, so we knew it would be busy and we were totally fine with waiting. When we arrived, the host told us it'd be a 45-minute to 1-hour wait unless we had a reservation. Fair enough... except there were plenty of open tables, and a bunch of people were either waiting around or straight up leaving because of the wait. So I got smart--hopped on Yelp and guess what? They were taking reservations! I booked one for 10 minutes later and suddenly... boom, we had a table. When I went back to the counter and said we had a reservation, the staff laughed and whispered to each other, "She didn't have a reservation." But they had no choice--they seated us. Now here's the real kicker: after we were finally seated, it took 15-20 minutes just to get our drink and food order taken. Our server only came to our table twice the whole time we were there. We even saw a group of 7 people experiencing the same issue--long wait, ignored service. Turns out it was one of the girl's birthdays. Her boyfriend looked stressed trying to figure out what to do, so I helped him make a Yelp reservation too--and they got seated just like we did. At least her birthday was saved. Honestly, I'm still confused. Why would a business choose to let tables sit empty while customers walk out the door? It's like they're actively turning away money. Kalaveras is usually a favorite of mine. I've never had issues at other locations--but this Redondo Beach spot? Never again. Hard pass read more

Was one of our favorite spots. The last 3 times we have gone it's been nothing but bad service. All 3 times we have waited 20min for them to even give us a menu. Our food has been with barely any flavor. We went there for the flavor and it's been not so great lately. Trying others from now on. and what happened to the good music??? now it's just talk shows or not very interesting games. music used to be loud. it made you feel like you were at a club. read more

This place on Cinco de Mayo is a vibe!! However, no Happy Hour for this specific day wasn't. But still a great place for the energy, drinks, and good Mexican food. It's very loud, so be prepared to shout or not talk, they have tv screens to watch sports. We did get asked to leave after about 1.5 hours, probably since it was a busier night and we were basically done with our meal but felt somewhat rushed out especially after waiting to be seated with a reservation. Parking is metered or you can find free street parking on the "aves" and walk over. The interior decor is so fun and aesthetically pleasing. Great spot for a date night or larger groups. They do have specials throughout the week. I must be weak or their margarita slushes are really strong, so lightweights beware! The food was fresh and came out quickly! The asada bowl was basic, but enchiladas were delicious. Lucero was a very friendly waitress who checked in on us throughout the meal. Would for sure come back but choose to sit outside next time! read more

Excellent Mexican food, extraordinary salad bar, relaxing and festive indoor seating, sunny and breezy outdoor seating. We love their Taco Tuesday! $1.49 each all day! (All types except seafood). It's smaller than their usual size but, 3 of them with lots of salad toppings would make a very nice and healthy lunch. The salsa bar is more like a salad bar, I'm not kidding! My wife had 3 Asadas, I had Asada, Pollo, and Barbacoa, I think Barbados was the most flavorful. Service is always fairly responsive and prompt. read more

I visited Kalaveras in Redondo Beach for happy hour with several work friends, one of whom brought her dog. We appreciated the outdoor patio space where dogs are allowed, which made it a convenient spot for us to relax. The drinks during happy hour were fine. Nothing stood out, but they were reasonably priced and served quickly. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the restaurant allowing a patron to smoke cigarettes on the patio. This person smoked at least three cigarettes during our time there, and staff did not intervene until we complained. This negatively affected our time and made the space uncomfortable. Because of this, I will not return. This would have been a 3 star review if the smoking had hot happened read more

Kalaveras is a cantina sports bar that serves Mexican food, but unfortunately not quality Mexican food. On my visit my meal resembled the bland taste similar to food served at an American sports bar, such as hamburgers, wings, etc. Everything about my meal lacked flavor and the color of the food was pale also. The guacamole was even a light green. The refried beans were a light brown, the Mezcal Margarita was also light on the Mezcal. If it weren't for the prime location of Kalaveras being just a short walk to the beach, I don't think place could survive. read more

ANTONIO! My favorite server! Such a sweet man and very attentive and knowledgeable of the food too. His energy just made the whole experience amazing. This is my 4th time here and this was the best the food has ever been and my past times were years ago too so the food overall has reached a level of extreme goodness. I ordered the guac and chips fire! The chicken taquitos fire! And the tacos gorbernador I'm sure I butchered the spelling but OMGGGG!!!!! It's packed with so much cheese and flavor it don't even make no sense how something this good a shrimp dish at that could be so good. I'm coming back again and again and again! read more

Always the place to go for margaritas. Love coming here when you just need a good margarita and since it's close to my place, i can get a nice little buzz and then make my way downtown (down the street) lol It's nice having a place by the beach where you can listen to selena or mana or other spanish music and vibe to your chips and guac. I do have slow service usually even when it's not too busy but it makes up with the drinks and the experience. read more

The food was just okay, the ambiance was actually pretty nice and the drinks weren't bad. The service was solid, but it's not a place I would go back to unless I had no other options. Luckily it is open later than most spots and they do have several daily specials on the weekdays. Here's a breakdown of everything I tried: 3.5/5 - Nachos: not bad, pretty good and filling. You can't really go wrong with nachos as an app. 3.5/5 - Carne Asada: a little on the spicy side for some, but nothing too hot. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. 2/5 - Veggie Bowl: It just completely lacked any real flavor, we had to ask for some hot sauce just to mix it up a bit, it was just very bland and not worth it. 3/5 - Various Drinks: none of them really stood out too much, I would just stick with one of the margaritas or if they have one of the specials going on. Food: 3/5 Drinks: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 read more

Taco Tuesday is the best. Service was good, not amazing , ambiance is fun, loud, but festive.

Atmosphere was everything! Happy hour menu top notch and especially liked the hot wings. We went with my Aunt, sisters, cousins and friends to celebrate end of year birthdays. The service was great and they even come out with a birthday sign and sparklers! read more

Moraima was great. Super friendly and quick service. I got the carne asada and pescado tacos, while my wife got the breakfast tacos off the brunch menu. Everything was really tasty, including the complimentary warm chips and salsa they provide. My wife also made a good point how the food didn't feel as greasy as some other Mexican restaurants which is obviously a plus. Definitely a cool spot and recommend checking it out if you're looking for some good Mexican food with a fun ambiance. read more

This was my 2nd visit to this location (w/ my GF)... The 1st visit was for Sunday Brunch (AYCE)... Had to experience the hype... and it was worth it, despite being busy. However, this 2nd visit was very disappointing. Aside from us, there was a party of 8-10, a family of 4 and another couple. It was self-seating. I had to help myself to the menus from another table. The gentleman that brought the chips & salsa literally just dropped ot off... no eye contact... no greeting. We were finally able to order drinks and an appetizer. Then we sat and watched as the other tables were being attended to. Finally, we had to ask for our check from the bar. Again, what a disappointment (and I still left a tip). Now we know what "invisible" feels like... read more

Today my daughter and her friend went To this restaurant for taco Tuesday lunch. Tacos are good and their price is very good, however, to their complete surprise, when they received their bill, it had an additional $15.00 dollar service fee added. They were not informed that there was a service fee up front and this caught them by surprise. Worse thing is that they were also expected to give a tip on top of this fee. This is absolutely ridiculous and a rip off. After getting their tacos themselves at the taco bar, they had to pay an undisclosed fee higher than the meal. That's just wrong. Be careful, this was not right. Buyer beware for sure. read more

This is among the elite of Mexican Restaurants in the south bay (and I've had half of their current menu). They give Panchos (MB) a run for their money. And their prices for food* are terrific. Very friendly & efficient waiters, too. * I'm a non-drinker, so I can't comment on that. read more

Came in for a girl's dinner on Friday. Location is beautiful and parking was not that difficult that night. Now I am preggies and I did not get indulge in the cocktails but the virgin micheladas were really good. My friends enjoyed their drinks . The guacamole was good and so was the mild salsa. The tacos govenador are delicious as well. Our waitress Lucero was on top of it, she was attentive, friendly and took care of us the whole evening.
