    Steak Fajitas
    Crystal J.

    After a car accident Kalaveras was exactly what I needed. It had been my first time coming here with my family and the food was amazing, staff were so nice, and the place itself was colorful and fun!! I also got the Mi Novia Fresa margarita to calm down my anxiety, it was absolutely delicious! I will be coming back 100%!!!

    I've been too so many branches of the Kalavera's restaurants. I would like to say this by far it's my second best place compared to the one in North Hollywood. I had their chicken mole, and by far it's one of the best dishes I've had. It was spicy flavorful well balanced honestly, I don't think I've ever had chicken mullet enchiladas at any other restaurant that tastes this good. Parking can be a bit tricky since it is on a main road downtown and so if you get lucky, you'll find parking right away if not you'll have to pay for parking. Staff was OK. I don't know if it was just a slow night or if it was not staffed adequately, but it would take a minute for us to place our order or to get our drinks as we were having our meals. To access this restaurant, you do have it taken an elevator as it is on the second floor. I believe they close relatively early we'll compare to other Kalavera chains. They obvious have a nice selection of music so ambience at any chain is always pretty consistent.

    Excellent service, and the food was even better! Bartender New Years Day close to closing was excellent, and helpful. Thank you to all! Happy 2026 and continued success!

    Service was horrible, waited over 30 mins for albondigas that were hard potatoes,hard carrots, the server was moving so slow the place was so empty only one other party there, I told one server he said hes not our waiter n he didnt care ,wow crazy, i had to wait 30 more mins for something different, the cucumber margarita taste like spicy water watered down no tequila , we had to ask twice for basic water , i see why its so empty

    Queso Birria Tacos

    The food came out quick, we were able to sit down right away and the queso birra tacos are super delish. Jamie our server was great. Very friendly and accompanied, didn't notice it the last time i was here but glad i saw the sign this time around.

    A very meh spot. Food was pretty good. We were lucky enough to stop in while it was still happy hour on Friday and got some of their specials. The quesabirria tacos were pretty yummy. The loaded asada fries were ok. Not crispy enough and they use an aioli to make up flavor. We didn't have enough chips for the guac, even though we put some of it on everything else we ordered. The salsa we got was almost devoid of any flavor and ZERO spice. When we asked for a spicier salsa, they said yes they had it and NEVER brought any. Asked 2 separate employees and it never came. Margarita flight was super sugary and didn't even give a solid buzz. I like the location and might give it another shot since nothing was bad, but this wasn't a great first impression.

    Great spot! First time here. We brought our small dog and the upstairs patio was perfect. Our pup had a great view of the street and the breeze that went through the whole patio felt perfect. The service was excellent, and my server let me order something off the lunch menu even thought it was brunch only at that time. My husband and his friend got the buffet and I ordered guacamole and the taquitos. Everything was very yummy. Parking is hard to find on the weekends but we were able to snag a spot in the back.

    This is absolutely one of my favorite places to eat. I highly recommend the dragon roll and the Horchata colada nothing compares to it. The vibe in this restaurant is so cool. It's a must do.

    Chicken Nachos

    Kalaveras is a SoCal chain, which serves some very tasty south of the border inspired comfort food. It also has a light Muerto de los muertos motif going for it inside. The three of us came here one evening, before a play at the nearby Temecula Community Theatre (Legally Blond). Kalaveras has a Happy Hour (HH) from 4 to 7 on weeknights and we sat back a relaxed, just enjoying some of their more popular items. We each started with a mixed tequila drink and some shared appetizers of HH Nachos, and Queso Fundido. For entrées, we just kept going with some light menu items of Cali Asada Fries, Quesabirra Tacos and a Kali Burrito. We thought the food was pretty good and the HH sizes were pretty generous. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and came away pleased. Expect to pay about thirty-five bucks each or so before gratuities during HH and depending upon how thirsty you are. LOL

Communication with Lucy was seamless--all I really had to do to prepare was send an inspiration board and ask a few questions about accommodating some items we wanted to bring. Set menu planning was easy, and Lucy helped project costs to make sure we met the minimum. I was blown away when I saw it all come together. Kelly, the owner, took such careful care of us. She photographed the event and shared the photos with me afterward, and she took the time to walk us through each dish and the thought behind the ingredients, which made the food taste even better. She gathered the whole group for a photo, and once everyone left, she offered me a cold drink to help me unwind (she must have noticed how stressed I was, lol). All in all, I'd absolutely host another private event here. Thank you, Luke's On Front, for your hospitality and for making our event so special.

Good variety of dishes from pastas to burgers to steaks and seafood. For my dinner selection I went with the NY Strip (medium rare). It comes with a baked potato and some veggies (broccoli and carrots). There is a pat of bleu cheese compound butter which you can use to add some extra flavor, although I didn't think my steak needed any. Solid restaurant with great vibes!

Inside, the ambiance reminds me of Nor Cal - SF with a cool neighborhood restaurant where the surrounding area melts away. It's classy yet unpretentious. We took my Yelp friend Lori out for her birthday and we all chose the price fixe meal. The entrance can be confusing only because the front door jams shut and one has to go through the back of the restaurant. You get 4 course plus a bread course and amuse bouche. Let's pause for the bread course. This bite sized piece of heaven is otherworldly. They need to serve more of it throughout the meal. The chef's starter was lovely and then we settled into our meal. It will be European style service so definitely let them know if you need to hit a show or movie. From the four courses we tried a bit of everything: Beef tartar (wonderful and innovative version of this dish), foraged mushrooms, charred cabbage, beet passionfruit salad, filet mignon, duck confit, and the only dessert that matters: charred butter cake. All were stellar!! Not a miss on the menu and all at 5 star quality. We also had tea and a cocktail, again both were outstanding. The service needs refinement though. It's a step below Michelin level fine dining indeed. I brought two bottles of wine, corkage $25 each, and never once was our glasses filled. I filled up everyone's glasses all night. This was irritating as not only did I pay corkage, but they added $10 tip to corkage with automatic 20% tip at end. The server did not deserve that extra $10 although she was lovely throughout the meal except for one more misstep. After the main meal was over, I wanted to have some more of that wondrous bread and was told the kitchen was closed. We were never warned about this. Every restaurant tells the guests at least 15 minutes before the kitchen closes. Other than those minor mistakes, this was a fine dining meal not found anywhere else in this part of S Cal/Riverside County. Highly recommended!!

The owner was delightful as was the chef. We had Oyster, followed by a stone fruit salad I was worried about until I took one bite and ate every bit of it.

Every good and wine pairing was perfect. To be fair I passed this place a few times, but never really knew they served food because of the name. You need this food in your life. My husband and I will be back.
