From the host who sat us, the beautiful establishment, the wonderful food and the AMAZING service we received from Diana our server. Everything was top notch. With so many restaurants in the area who for the most part are so so, my husband and I were truly impressed with everything about this place. Everyone we interacted with at Kavas was so friendly and really added to the ambiance. We will definitely go back when we are in the area. Highly recommend!!! read more

The atmosphere here is amazing! No beating it. They have a mariachi band 5 nights per week at 7 pm and the decor is so festive and modern. We loved the little telephone that's says tequila calling where you can take a photo op. The strawberry margarita was delicious. The churro sundae was one of the best desserts I've had with warm churros! The large taco board was also really fun. read more

We made reservations for a party of 7 for cinco de mayo and it was honestly a disappointing experience. The host stand had a long line and seemed a bit disorganized. Once we were seated, the music was so loud we couldn't even hear the server speaking right next to our ears. Luckily, we were able to switch to a different table where the music wasn't as loud. The reservations we made had the option for Taco Tuesday but they did not have any of their regular specials and the house margarita for cinco de mayo wasn't worth it. It came in a smaller cup- you were better off getting the regular one for the extra $2. There were several times where the food runners brought the wrong dishes to us and the empanadas took an extremely long time to arrive and not really worth it. The burritos were massive and the tacos hit the spot. They have different entertainment like fire dancers and mariachi. Not sure if they validate parking but for the hassle it takes to get to this plaza along with the price point you're better off trying any of the other restaurants in the area. read more

Great for large party seating, and very flexible. Plenty of options for everyone to find something they like. Definitely overpriced but I expected that from everything in that area. Drink + food good and fueling. Complaint is how loud it was. I know it's like a party but jeez, you couldn't even hear the server or the person next to you without screaming. If it was turned down even a little bit it would've been a lot more enjoyable since the point of the large party was to have fun together. read more

I remember when this spot was new and super trendy! They're well known for their taco board that has like 12 tacos for sharing. I got the taco salad, and the rest of the party shared the taco board, or got their own thing. The atmosphere is the draw in! They took great care of our party. We came for a birthday, and they did an amazing job with the celebration and the dessert! Definitely worth the hype! read more

2nd time here. Tried the birria tacos this time. The meat was super flavorful but very very fatty. Complimentary chips and salsa wouldve been nice. I got the margarita tower. My drinks were really good but a bit on the sweet side. The restaurant itself is really cute. I love the decor and that they inside and outside seating. Because this location is so far from me Ive only gone on a weekend. I prefer brunch when there is way less traffic. Also, when I came for brunch they had a mariachi band which was really nice. Both times the staff have been really friendly and service rather quick considering how busy they can get. Located at the pointe so it's a great walkable area to enjoy after you're meal read more

Kavas Tacos & Tequila was a fun place to have a late night dinner on Christmas Eve. We weren't quite sure where to go and what would be open close to our hotel. We went to The Pointe Orlando and were initially eyeing Taverna Opa(Greek). We walked around and decided upon KAVAS. Those two appeared to be open the latest. We were welcomed into a fun colorful ambiance and great service. The music was awesome too. First mariachis and then fun upbeat music afterwards. It was also decked up for Xmas! We could eat outside or inside and decided on inside, but the outside is nice and it was perfect temperature for Xmas eve. We decided to split the Chimichanga with rice and beans. This is a good amount for a late night dinner & so easy to split. It was quite tasty with the cheesy sauce you pour on top and it was not spicy which is good and just the way we liked it. We enjoyed our dinner here and continued our fun Christmas Eve night. Happy we chose this place! They did say parking is validated and $5 off bc there is a parking garage at the Pointe. We actually parked across the street and crossed the street bc we didn't want to deal with that paid parking. read more

We were thinking this is going to be a tourist trap spot. Probably not that good. Overpriced. Well we were wrong. We want to give it the full 5 stars. Great food. Great experience. We came in and sat at the bar as we wanted to watch the game while getting some food. No sound but that's ok. The bartender was attentive the whole night and really knew when she was needed or not. We tried the salsa, ground beef tacos, and the steak fajitas. Wow! Everything was delicious. The salsa is endless and we thought it was fresh. The steak fajitas I still dream about. They came out sizzling with plenty of green peppers and onions. The rice was just right. They gave a small portion of guacamole and sour cream was it worked out fine for dinner. They also provided 3 flour tortillas. We did see a mariachi band in the restaurant going up to tables. They also had a photographer come around. They took our picture. Came out great. They brought it over to show us and they can print the photo or make keychains with the photo. It was a bit pricy paying for the photo but we had a great time and liked the photo. Parking was not free but it was around $6 for our dinner hour. read more

We called ahead and made reservations earlier in the week for a party of 15 people. The reservation required a credit card on file. We were advised if we did not show up, we would be charged $25 per person. That was not an issue because we were planning on going. When we got there we found a Mariachi Band playing outside. We were greeted and promptly ushered to our table. Our server was very attentive throughout the entire night. We ordered appetizers, drinks, and food. I had the Beef Empanadas and the Kava Chopped Salad with Salmon. I indulged in the holiday drink menu and got a Santa's Cookietini. The Beef Empanadas were ok. I only ate one of the three that came in the order. The salad was big and tasted good. I held the pico, black beans and corn. I left with more than half because I could not eat it all. The Santa's Cookietini was good. The flavors were blended well. I was partially full from sampling the Loaded Birria Fries. It was a big portion for an appetizer. It definitely served as an entree for two of my family members. They were too full after eating the Loaded Birria Fries to order anything else. The Mariachi Band was amazing. They came table side and asked if we had any special requests. Later they came back to sing "Happy Birthday " to our birthday twins. After, they asked for another special request in which they played and sang beautifully. They were my favorite part of the evening! They were friendly and entertaining. Kavas has a dessert cup that is presented to birthday parties that consist of ice cream, brownies, cookies, churros, and marshmallows ($45). The staff presents the cup holding a sign that says Happy Birthday and sparklers. The dessert was big enough to feed the entire group. I had a churro. It was delicious and covered with cinnamon sugar. There was also a photographer taking photos for purchase. There is an option for a framed photo or keychain. We had an issue at checkout with my sister and the server. We expected an automatic gratuity of at least 18% because we were a large party. All of the bills provided an itemized list of items ordered. After the total, there were gratuities listed of 19 and 20%. When my sister was paying her bill, the server quickly selected the 20% gratuity and submitted the payment. Why is there an option for 19 or 20%? It makes it confusing especially when the percentages are only a fraction of cents difference. Just make it one percentage and automatically add it to the bill. My sister didn't mind paying the 20%, she was upset because of how the server handled the payment submission. Besides that, Kavas was a great experience. The Mariachi Band was amazing! The drinks and food were good. read more

We saw a comedy show at the Funny Bone and ate dinner afterwards. We sat inside and it was busy and loud but in a great energy way! Server was patient and friendly and explained a few items on menu for us. The cocktails were on point but my husbands old fashioned was very light in volume when he removed the ice - very questionable but he said it was one of the best he's had flavor wise. We shared their guac, salsa, and Elote- all great and very filling. My husbands old fashioned got their Skirt Steak dinner and had to send back being well done and asked for medium. It sat on the hot plate under their lights too long. There was no issue getting it remade and when it came out medium rare as asked it was perfection. I had the taco salad and it was okay and would try something else in the future. read more

4.5 Ambience is great Service was good For my first time here, I was really happy. We all loved the chips and salsa. I got the combo fajitas: chicken and steak. I added a side of black beans after trying them from someone else's plate haha they were yummy! Someone got the carnitas plate and really enjoyed it. There is a little kick in spice to them. The rest got the tacos: carnitas and carne asada. They enjoyed their food. Altogether, I would definitely go back! read more

My family and I were craving Mexican food and found Kavas Tacos + Tequila on Yelp -- and we're so glad we did! From start to finish, it was a great experience. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the margarita tower... twice -- it was so much fun and came with four different flavors, each one delicious. My mom and I split the beef empanadas (so good!) and the chicken fajitas, which hit the spot and were the perfect amount of food for the two of us. They also had a fire dancer for entertainment, which was such an impressive and unexpected bonus to the night! Overall, amazing food, fun drinks, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Brought my in laws, who are visiting from out of town, here last night and they really enjoyed it! I'd never been here either. I thought the food was really good. I got the steak and chicken fajitas. We were so hungry and enjoyed them so much, I forgot to get a photo! The interior is pretty cool and we were seated under this cool sort of fabric tree thing. They even had a fire performer (which I think was special for Mardi Gras, but I'm not sure). Our server, Alyssa, was so sweet and helpful! Our only complaint is the music is SO loud. Even though it was mostly music that spoke to my millennial heart, it was still just really loud. Maybe we are just too old to appreciate music at that volume? Not sure. We did ask if it was possible to turn the music down a little bit, and they did, which we appreciated. read more

Came here for brunch. Was a little slow when we arrived. But was nice. As far as bottomless everyone at the table has to order it and they do check the timer for the 2 hour limit. Which is cool just a first for me in all of the brunch places I've ever gone. I ordered the pancake tacos because it was the better bang for my buck with what I wanted to eat. Our server was excellent and very nice. Food was good as well. That had a live band who came around to tables playing music per your request so that was pretty nice read more

This was a fun place to have a team dinner. It is huge and can accommodate plenty of large parties at a time. I had the Baja fish tacos that were very good. It came with refried beans and yellow rice. Everyone at the table had good things to say about their meals. I had a strawberry margarita as well that was good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Just had some difficulty at the end when we were trying to separate the checks but it all worked out. It was a super fun environment with music and they had a lady doing a fire show at 7pm for entertainment. Self parking available in the garage close or they had valet parking. read more

Pointe Orando has definitely changed. Lots more to do, eat, and see! First time to this restaurant and it was a fun experience. Environment is fun and energetic and great for groups to celebrate. Servers are very attentive and we very kind and fun. Now for the food and entertainment. We needed up sharing the 3 foot taco board with birria, chicken and steak tacos to share. It's definitely enough for 3-4 people depending on how many of these tacos you want to crush. Birria tacos come with some broth and there are several different kinds of sauces to try. I asked for some extra spicy salsa and it was tasty but, this guy wishes it was flame thrower hot as always. Chips and house guacamole and the cheese dip are delicious. You can definitely fill up on these, so be careful. They also had an entertainer that did a routine that included dancing and fire being ignited and put out by her hands and mouth lol. All in good fun though, she was very talented. I wasn't in the mood to drink anything this evening but there were alot of things that I can't wait to come back and try. See you next time! read more

My wife and I stopped in for their Happy Hour, which is DAILY from 3pm to 6pm. We were able to find two seats outside, at the bar. Luckily the weather was perfect. Something I noticed they did with everyone was gave them the regular menu, you had to ask for the Happy Hour Menu. Just something I had noticed. I ordered a lime margarita from the Happy Hour menu. $6 for a delicious margarita, sign me up. We decided on a few different appetizers. We each wanted a grilled street corn on the cob (half cob), we shared an order of chips and queso, we each had a beef empanada, and we each had a chicken flautas. Now I think everything truly was delicious and I would order any of these items again. The chips and quesso were a great way to start our food journey. The chips they served are seasoned, which we loved and the quesso was sure some cheesy goodness. The grilled street corn on the cob, possibly my favorite. It was so full of flavor and you really tasted all the elements of that dish. The beef empanada was very nice and hd a nice homemade feel to it. Finally they chicken flautas were perfect, a chicken was cooked perfectly without being dry. There was a ton of flavor in that little flautas. The service was OK, it was nothing special during our visit. We did have to ask for napkins and silverware. The venue is beautiful, and is decorated very nicely. I would for sure come back. I think for the quality of the food, the prices are fair. read more

Went to Kavas Tacos & Tequila with a group of about 10 for a birthday dinner, and it was honestly such a vibe. The atmosphere was bright, fun, and full of energy--super inviting the moment you walk in. They had a live mariachi band playing while we were there, and they were awesome! It made the night feel like a celebration from the very start. We had Diego as our server, and even though we were a big group, he handled everything like a pro. He was incredibly attentive, kept our drinks full without even being asked, and made sure everything ran smoothly. That kind of service is rare, especially with large parties! For appetizers, we shared the beef and chicken nachos, and they were so good--loaded with flavor and perfect for the table to munch on while we kicked off the night. I had several Blackberry Smash cocktails, and wow--one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. Refreshing, just the right amount of sweet, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. For my main dish, I had the Quesabirria and let me just say: I've had birria at a lot of places, but this was by far the best I've ever had. Perfectly cheesy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The whole night felt like a party. The staff even joined in on the fun, dancing and engaging with guests. You don't just go to Kavas for food--you go for the full experience! Individual Ratings: Food: Service: Atmosphere: Value: Tip: If you're celebrating something--or just want a great night out--this is the place. Ask for Diego if you can! Overall Rating: read more

KAVAS Tacos + Tequila - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We went to Kavas specifically for happy hour. They offer is 7 days a week, which is great! We tend to avoid point orlando because of parking, especially now that none of the restaurants validate, they only offer discounts. But we had been wanting to try this place. I'll start by saying it didn't knock my socks off enough to entice me to come back and pay for parking. If I had to be at point orlando for something else, I might stop by kavas for a meal. The staff is not super helpful or friendly. We told the hostess we'd like to enjoy happy hour, and she informed us we need to sit at the bar, either inside or outside. We found two chairs outside and had a seat. The bartender brought us menus, but the regular menu does not show the happy hour options. We asked for a happy hour menu, and the bartender brought a very beat up and dirty menu. The options are decent with both food and drink happy hour pricing. We tried almost everything on the menu: beer, margarita, elote, queso, empananas, and flautas. My opinion/expectation of happy hour is that the restaurant is serving the same portions and quality of food (unless otherwise noted) for a discounted price. That is not the case here. Sure, the prices are lower by a few dollars, but the portion sizes are also halved, at least, so youre not getting a better value. The queso came to the table, already congealed. The $4 elote is one half corn on the cob per order. This is a tasting menu, a tapas menu, not a happy hour. The corn was phenomenal, everything else was just fine. Go to black rooster, or bartaco for better options at the same price with better service. Also, all of the staff were watching basketball, rather than helping the patrons. It was loud, and i felt I was inconveniencing the bartender by being there. Meh. read more

Let's just say this place was a miss. I was so excited to try it but things went south fast. I wanted to sit outside but was told there was one waiter serving outside and inside so the host didnt want to overwhelm her. That is understandable but now I feel bad for her cause why is the establishment under staffed? I ordered the street corn, loose and on the cob. Both were not good, the loose corn had way to much lime juice and the corn on the cob wasn't good for me. My best friend also didnt like it. We got tacos which come with a side of rice and beans. The food was very Bland, the rice was kind of hard and the refried beans had no taste. I should have took pictures prior but I didn't before I ate cuz I was hungry but I do have the pictures of what was left on the plate. I really only ate what I did because I was hungry. The location is in the point mall and the decor is beautiful very colorful very nice very well put together. Our server was very kind but the service is a little bit slow. read more

All I can say is everything was great!!! The hostess was very friendly. Our waiter was amazing!!! He made recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The chips and salsa arrived quickly and the chips were fresh and absolutely loved the salsa. The grill corn was okay, not my favorite. Hubby enjoyed his tacos. But the highlight of our evening was my chicken chimichanga, watching the queso being poured over my chicken chimichanga! It was sooooo good. I enjoyed every bite. My mango margarita was perfect!! Best I've ever had! Wish I had one right now. We will definitely visit again when in the area. Highly recommend! They are busy, so you may have to wait a while. But it was worth it!!

Kavas offers a lively scene that is perfect for large groups and special occasions! The restaurant is quite spacious with indoor and outdoor seating but I recommend making reservations as the place was filling up quickly throughout brunch hours on Saturday. I enjoyed the festivities on display for other patrons birthdays and celebrations. There is a mariachi band that comes around. I did appreciate though that it wasn't constant. The band came around several times but I was still able to comfortably converse during the pauses. The food was nice but nothing extremely memorable if I'm being honest. I had the birria hash and while pleasant, far from the most flavorful birria. However, the meat was really tender and I did go hard on the queso! Also, the service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly, made great recommendations, and checked on us frequently. I am very likely to return! Although I will say there is no self parking available at the restaurant itself. There is valet and a nearby garage but no validation. read more

I was in the mood for some tacos and decided to check this place out. It's located inside a mall, and the parking is in a garage where you pay by phone. We got seated right away. It was busy but not packed. The restaurant is super colorful with a lively atmosphere, and they played some really good music. For an appetizer, I started with the esquites. Which is a Mexican street corn served off the cob. It was delicious. Then I had the chicken chimichangas, and they were absolutely amazing. They're smothered in Kavas queso, and the best part is the waitress pours it right in front of you so you can watch all that cheesy goodness you're about to devour. read more

We visited Kava's Tacos & Tequila as a party of two and had a decent overall experience. The atmosphere feels more suited for bigger groups, so it might be a better spot for a fun night out with friends. We ordered the ceviche and queso -- both were good, with the ceviche standing out for its freshness. I had the pear margarita, which was tasty but not particularly memorable, and my son enjoyed the mango ginger mocktail. Service was friendly and the vibe was upbeat, but for a smaller, more low-key dinner, it didn't quite hit the mark. Still, a solid option if you're coming with a crowd. read more
