Great New Mexican spot in the simi area. Love the inside of this place, very unique!! The service is very friendly and attentive. My favorite margarita here is the cucumber margarita. Chips and salsa are great, although I with they made another red salsa that wasn't smoked tasting. The tacos I tried here are great except for the carne asada. The asada was super dry and not a great quality of beef. The Birria tacos are amazing, but keep in mind the tortilla is not as crispy as other places. I loved the Al pastor street taco and the chicharron , delicious ! Would recommend this place. read more

This is definitely a restaurant with a cool vibe! A place to go to be part of the action! Evident by the bar as the center attraction! And the beautiful murals on the walls! The food is pretty typical for Mexican. The food is not on the cheaper side but the portions are a good size. The food was good but not great- I couldn't taste distinctive flavors from spices in my food! The best part was the salsa: the salsa had great flavors! Salsa came with the chips! There is happy hour and daily specials. The daily specials are throughout the day: on weekdays (mon-thurs). Also happy hour specials from 3-7. Monday is margarita night with a glass for 8 and pitcher at a discounted price. Worth a try! Come visit! read more

Nina and Francisco were great. They were super friendly and checked on us consistently. The food was also really good. We had a carnitas burrito and the albondigas soup was hot and very flavorful. Always a fun time when we come, especially on Saturday with the DJ! read more

Nina was a great bartender. Very quick service and helpful. Fun environment to hang out and have a good time.

Came here for an important birthday celebration, service was Very Slow, got charged for bottomless drinks but they only brought ONE, didn't offer any more, or alternative options, we came for brunch and imo they didn't have any reason to be so slow or avoid us, there were ample servers and only a handful of tables. We brought a cake and they said that was ok, but they didn't offer to serve it or even offer us plates to do it ourselves. We had to send it home with the birthday girl and let her have it alone after lunch. It was a really sad disappointment for her, we asked for the manager and he was super dismissive and didn't offer any help or follow up. I felt my group was so polite and easy going. We were so disappointed won't be back. read more

Tried this place out a few weeks ago. I saw the menu online. It looked like a pretty decent happy hour menu so we decided to stop by. The music was popping. They had the laker game on, which I could appreciate. The bartender Josue made some EPIC drinks. I'd recommend this place for a chill night out. read more

My boyfriend and I went during happy hour and on a Tuesday as well. So we got one menu out of the happy hour menu which was the loaded asada fries for $8 which we think that it was such a good deal. It tasted good and it was a lot of portion. We also ordered the tacos for .99 cents each ( tacos: pollo, barbacoa, asada, chicharrón, and carnitas). The tacos were okay except the chicharrón, the chicharron was really good, the other tacos were just okay. It was pretty busy, however the service was good. The ambiance inside the restaurant was great but pretty loud. read more

An Always friendly atmosphere where the staff and patrons are friendly. Great food and quick to fill orders. 10/10

My husband and I visited on a Monday night. It was very empty as it was only 5pm. The service was slow and the drinks were a disappointment. I got the Mai Tai and it was all juice. Very hard to drink. My husband got a Margarita strawberry slushie, was also all juice. The waitress was absent so we didn't send back. We will give the Simi location a try, as we have been told that one is better. read more

I love Taco Tuesday at this place! Yummy Street tacos for $1.50 along with happy hour prices! Highly recommend the Queso Fundido, tacos and slushie margaritas! Great service and club ambiance. read more

Kalaveras has been a disappointment. The first time was excellent when they had recently opened, and we were there early on a Sunday and had their buffet- it was good because they had a variety. However, ordering from their menu has not been a good experience, we ordered for my nephew from the kid's menu. The fries were dry, hard , hazardous for a child and they looked like they were from previous days. We had to request a new batch. The chicken has so hard and zero flavor. My mom ordered tacos and received the incorrect meat. The wet burrito was bland, with more rice than protein. The food is made with no love. The waitress was great. The place is really loud. read more

I booked a reservation through OpenTable for Friday afternoon at 3 PM. When I arrived, I told the gentleman by the front door that I had a reservation. He told me to sit where I would like. Being alone and not wanting to take up a larger table, I chose to sit at the bar. I had a couple of guava margaritas which were delicious. The sweetness of the guava combined with the salty, spiciness of the tajin rim was perfect. I ordered the queso fundido with corn tortillas to eat. Also, delicious. The chorizo adds just enough heat. Unfortunately, Kalaveras reported me to OpenTable as a no-show for my reservation. Perhaps, when a customer tells a staff member that they have a reservation, they should look it up and make sure it's documented correctly. If I go again, I'll make sure to speak with a manager upon arrival and get the names of the employees I deal with. read more

The Sunday brunch buffet was good, and the server Hema tried her best for being short staffed. The people who didn't order alcoholic beverages waited forever for their drinks. This is a loud atmosphere so don't come for a romantic lunch. There's more of a vibe here with a big group if you're into that, it's a Fun place. read more

Don't come on Saturday nights, they kick you out of the bar at 10pm. This place doesn't do well will be due to their lack of customer service and comfort. read more

This restaurant is a gem for Simi ! Let's give them some good business - great deals each day of the week , and good service

Scammers. I would not recommend this place if you are paying with card, bc they will double charge you for tip. But why are they scamming? I had bought some drinks at the bar... and put my credit card down for this round. The total was about $53. Come 4 days later when transactions have posted, I was charged double $106 saying I had left a complete $53 tip. When I had only down a $10. This is greedy building a bad reputation for the restaurant. read more

They have the best dragon roll appetizer in the world. I often call in and order it to go and just pick it up on my way through town. They also have mouth melting birria tacos. All kinds of drinks that you can imagine, and much much more on the menu, I definitely give them a shot if you're thinking about it. Highly recommend. read more

weekend disappointment :(( i'm only in town for the weekend and it says online they're open til 1AM!! i was hoping for a good time at a cute bar just to find out they closed the bar at 10pm!!! on a SATURDAY NIGHT??? they had kicked out everyone of the bar by 10 to set up for their buffet at 10am the next day.... talk abt poor service. read more

I was in desperate need of tacos on a Sunday but they were only serving brunch and bottomless mimosas. While I'm always in the mood for mimosas, we weren't quite up for the whole brunch buffet experience and price tag. Will definitely check it out in the future! Wish we had known they only had the brunch buffet. read more

Great atmosphere! Great place for a good fun night! Birthday celebrations! Good music. Great food and drinks! It's a party!

We will NEVER return! Brunch was OVERPRICED and NO live mariachi from 9-2- FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Food was mehhhh, service mehhhhh, manager and hostess were rude! Ambience loud as expected!!! Pretty much my husband was forced to get the brunch only because I had already served myself! Apparently if 1 person from your party gets brunch the whole table MUST get it! I've NEVER heard of this! Waitress, hostess and inept manager never offered us included bottomless mimosas, soft drinks, aguas frescas or coffee as we ordered a bottled coke and water! Kalavera's Simi is probably money hungry and afraid that you're going to share a small piece of dry hard churro, or a dry enchilada or even a piece of dry chile relleno or a piece of runny and flavorless watermelon! They never explained that RIDICULOUS rule that not even the waitress knew about! Talk about highway robbery! Anywho do yourself a favor and don't bother going to Kalaveras, especially for "Sunday Brunch!" $90 later here is my review for Kalavera's Simi Valley! DATE OF EXPERIENCE:7/13/2025 read more

Visiting from out of town, we came on a Sunday, they were only offering a buffet for $39, not offering anything else and when I asked the waitresses, if she could recommend any Mexican restaurants in town, she stated it's the only Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley. You could improve by offering single plates, and knowing it is not the only Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley. read more

A huge thank you to our server, Kevin, at Kalaveras Restaurant and Bar for making our first visit such a memorable experience while celebrating my wife's birthday. From now on, every time we come back, we'll be requesting Kevin as our server! Dude you F'n rocked! We got a couple birthdays coming up soon. We will be coming here because of you brotha! Again, super thanks! read more

Gema and Francisco were the best here made us feel at home super friendly extremely fast and attentive. Food was amazing.

Mom and I love our Mexican food but we are a bit critical. We were both happy with our selections. Service was good. They have a good happy hour I'd like to check out. Definitely enjoyable meal. Upbeat tunes. read more

This is one of my favorite places, today at around 1:30 I stopped for lunch and waited 10 minutes at the front to be seated before I turned around and left. No one even came out and asked what I was doing there. Seems like they cut back too much! read more

I was hesitant going here because of all the comments of it being noisy, but I'm glad I eventually gave it a try. Went during lunch hour, which probably made all the difference :) Portions are huge. Food was delicious. The server was super friendly. Definitely will go again (just might stick with the lunch hours). read more

Worst service ever. I will not be returning to this location. Our server never came by or even came to give us the check. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. He was way more concerned with dancing for the other tables and even lifting another employee onto his shoulders...weird. The food and drinks were good but the service was lacking. Waiting 30 minutes for the check, forgetting your tables, and forgetting to put in orders is not okay. read more

I'm hurt and I hate myself and I feel like a fool! Here I have this AMAZING happy hour experience at Kalaveras with my wife and three year old daughter, feeling like a capital K Kalaveras King with the service we got from our server Stephanie, and I can't wait to proclaim on Yelp for all the world to see that we feel the same way about Stephanie as we THOUGHT she felt about us: That she's deserving of our very best, and wonderful and SPECIAL. But then I see the other reviews: "Stephanie was so wonderful". "Stephanie went out of her way for us!". "Stephanie co-signed our loan!". Okay, maybe that last one is an exaggeration, but the point stands that APPARENTLY Stephanie makes EVERYONE feel special! Gah! If everyone is special, no one is! Your lies of omission are still lies, Stephanie! I don't know if I can bear to return to Kalaveras now--Oh who am I kidding? Have you had the birria tacos?? They're elite! read more
