    Pollo burrito
    Gabby A.

    The pollo burrito and asada tacos were bland and a little dry. I went 1 hour before they closed so not sure if that had anything to do with that. The salsa was yummy. The staff are friendly. I can say that the Chile rellenos are delicious but only served Fridays.

    Little hidden gem in Chula Vista. Always consistent in flavor and portions. Blows the competition out the water.

    This place is the bomb! It's a very basic restaurant, but who cares about that when the food is delicious.

    The best in grilled chicken- this place it's been in business for decades and still they don't loose their good flavor on their chicken.

    I come here once a month for the healthiest burrito in the South Bay. The burritos are not filled with grease like other places.

    We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

    Was visiting San Diego for the weekend and my friend recommended Kalaveras for Sunday Brunch…read more They opened at 10, and we were one of the first to get there. The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.

    What an AMAZING experience at El Pueblo! The food, drinks, atmosphere, and especially the service…read morewere all outstanding. It honestly felt like old times, when great service meant people genuinely cared about your experience. We were so well taken care of from beginning to end. Jason made the BEST drinks, Kam was on it and made sure our food came out quickly, and E followed up with us to make sure everything was perfect. That kind of teamwork and attention to customers is so refreshing and made our night even better. And the food was absolutely delicious! El Pueblo reminded us what a great restaurant experience is supposed to feel like. Fantastic food, great drinks, wonderful people, and service that makes you want to come back. We will DEFINITELY be back!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at El Pueblo was one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences I've had. We arrived around 7:30 PM, placed our order, and waited at our table until 8:45 PM without receiving any food. Meanwhile, every other table in our section had already been served, finished eating, and left while we were still waiting. I finally spoke with the manager, who apologized and assured me our order would be completed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting another 20 minutes. What was even more disappointing was that when our food finally arrived, it wasn't even hot. The tortillas were at room temperature, and the meat was barely warm. After waiting nearly an hour and a half, it simply didn't make sense that the food seemed like it had been sitting out for quite some time. To make matters worse, I developed a stomach ache after the meal. Long waits can happen, and I understand restaurants can get busy. But waiting nearly two hours, receiving lukewarm food, and then getting sick afterward is completely unacceptable. I hope El Pueblo takes a closer look at its kitchen operations and customer service so other diners don't have the same experience.
