Nick was amazing! He deserves a raise! he's so nice and great hospitality. good communication also!

Shout out Nick he was the best ever!!! Great service and phenomenal communication.

Great drinks and service. Sat at the bar and Nick was awesome. Very friendly and fun attitude!

We hosted a work event at Kavas Tacos during a huge conference week and had such a great experience! There was SO much food, everything was delicious, and the welcome margaritas were a huge hit with our group. The service was amazing from start to finish -- they made hosting an event incredibly easy. And major bonus points for playing Maná! Great food, great drinks, great service, and such a fun atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend Kavas for a group or work event! read more

I came for drinks and sat at the bar. We ordered 2 Fortaleza Blanco (not still strength) Tequila neat. I noticed that when a manager (I assume) saw the Fortaleza bottle he rushed over to the bartender and had a side conversation about it while looking over at us. When the bill came, I was told that we were being charged for 3 drinks rather than 2 because he gave us each 2oz pours (standard neat, but maybe he didn't know that) and was being "nice" by not charging 4 drinks. Because they were already having side conversation about it, I knew this wasn't a battle I'd win. So I paid, tipped 25% and left, but I was definitely going to leave a review. Just know going here, they will charge whatever they want for drinks and make up rules. I paid $75 for 2 drinks. I won't be back. Adding on due to the reply. The person that replied to my review was not there during my service and is lying. Neither me or the gentleman with me asked for anything other than the tequila neat, we did however have conversation about our visit to the Fortaleza Distillery in Jalisco and how they pride themselves on businesses they sell to not overcharging for their tequila. Fortaleza was NOT listed in your menu, we saw it on the shelf and asked for it neat. As a bartender NEAT is a known pour. Please don't disrespect me by making things up. As I already stated, we simply asked for clarification which is what I added in my review, paid, tipped 25% and left. A reply from the business was unnecessary, this review is for other bar goers. read more

I visited Kavas on a Saturday for brunch and overall had a great experience. Their brunch is offered Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM and includes bottomless margaritas for two hours. The margaritas were a pleasant surprise. They were full sized, available in several flavors, and absolutely delicious. I would return for those alone. One of the highlights of my visit was the mariachi band, which brought a fun and lively energy to brunch. I ordered the School Tacos and enjoyed them, especially the queso and sauce that came with them. My waitress, whose name started with a "G," was a gem. She was attentive, friendly, and always checking to see if I was ready for my next margarita. The only issue I encountered was confusion surrounding the bottomless margarita promotion. When I first arrived, the host was unable to answer questions about the two hour offer and had to get a manager for clarification. Later in my visit, another server incorrectly informed me that I could no longer order margaritas because brunch hours had ended, despite management already confirming that I would be able to enjoy the full two hours since I arrived before brunch ended. Thankfully, the manager on duty quickly resolved the issue and honored what had originally been communicated. While I think there is an opportunity for better staff training regarding this advertised menu item, it was not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience. Between the margaritas, live entertainment, attentive service, and fun atmosphere, I still had a great time and would gladly return for brunch. read more

Stopped by here for lunch while in town for a convention. I was lured in by the Mariachi band that was outside. I ordered ceviche and it was really good. The band came around and I asked them to play Un Poco Loco. It was really cool that they were able to play that song. The atmosphere was really fun. I loved their singing. Food was great. I would definitely go back for more. read more

This place was very mid and overpriced. We came here before a movie for dinner and I thought I'd be good ordering the $14 empanada app.... It was literally like 3 little empanada poppers like from Costco. There was a single sliver of "beef" in them. Not very good at all. The guac was 15 for a scoop. Would not recommend, would not go back again. read more

When we first walked in, I was really impressed with the ambiance. It is beautifully decorated. However, the service was not great. Our server did not approach us for the longest time and then we barely saw her after that. The cup where they served my soda in tasted like alcohol (I did not order any alcohol). The food was okayish, I definitely wouldn't go back for that. Definitely a nice place to hang out and get drinks with some friends. read more

Kavas has always been a go-to for me wheneve5i find myself on I-Drive. Their food is delicious and the live entertainment, whether it's the fire dancer or the live band are always great. I came during the weekday for a quick lunch and was able to get the horchata and a birria sandwich. Both were pretty good. Service was so so. I had three different waiters and when I asked one for the check and a to-go container for the rest of my sandwich with a little more consume to take with me, he came back with the containers and no consume. I was able to wave another waiter down and ask her about it, and she said that they charge extra for it. That's fine, I'm not sure why the other waiter did not say that when I asked him about it. *Note the other pictures were from another night I went out with a friend for dinner there. 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

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

My friends and I wanted food that was nearby the convention. It was between pizza or tacos and tequila. We were immediately seated which was nice however the tables are very close together. The inside of the restaurant is well decorated but that was the only best part of eating there. The waiter took awhile to take our order. The burrito looks good but lacks flavor. The chicken isn't seasoned there's barely any sauce on it. The chille relleno was soggy from the oil so I had to scrap majority of the outside off to eat just the pepper and cheese. The rice was really hard and bland as well. This restaurant is definitely for tourist as all of idrive restaurants are and pictures. As I said the aesthetic is there but not the flavor. Also, expect to pay $20 or more per dish. read more

Great casual Mexican restaurant with good food and drinks. Waitress was great.

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

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

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

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

The food amazing . I would come back again. The food was hot and it has awesome atmosphere l.

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

If you like to dress up and overpay for mediocre "Mexican" food, then this place is for you. We were looking for chips, salsa, margaritas and tacos. This place had super uncomfortable booths so we requested to be switched to a table and were placed at a high top; not comfy, but better. They do not have complimentary chips and salsa. This is such an important detail! Mexican restaurants are known for chips and salsa and this place charges. The chips are good and made in house, but spicy. I don't know if they accidentally hit them with jalapeño juice or if this was normal, but very spicy chips. The queso was good, but so small and $14 for what is pictured. We ended up only getting these and a margarita, which was delicious, but they menu offered very little of what we wanted. No burritos, no combos, no regular ground beef tacos. Service was fine. They had a very awkward show at 6:30pm when the restaurant was still fairly empty. A fire dancer show up and danced for about 5 - 10 minutes. She was talented but it seemed out of place. The vibes were good - cute neon signs, music was good (but def not typical Mexican restaurant music). 2/10 for what we wanted (margs and queso were tasty) but it might be someone else's thing. 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

Honestly delicious taco and the mariachi band was fire. Our server was really nice and helpful with good pacing, especially given how busy this place was. It's casual and very lively inside.

The ambiance is lovely, place is definitely eye catching and influencer ready. Food was a miss tho, bland Mexican food downed down for the different tastes of the non-local crowds. Being from Tucson, Arizona food is taken differently and seasoned differently. I had the Chile Relieno, the salsa on top was very chipotle tasting, wasn't for me. Service was ok, server didn't have any recommendations or introductions, just came took our order and left. Meh Pricing was high but expected for this 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

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

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

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.
