    Rolled Tacos
    Josh C.

    3am taco shop run. Carne asada torta, 5 rolled tacos, Carne asada fries. Quality did not decline even in the latest of night.

    Elizabeth V.

    Saddest fries I've ever had. I only came here because it was a drive thru and I have hella kids & didn't want to get everyone out. This is probably cool if you're from out of town or think mayo is spicy. Outside of that, it's trash. I won't be back. Dry afffff. Had to add sour cream when I got home. Stingy with the salsa. They gave me one green one red. Got a stank look when I asked for 3 more red. (Still not enough) salsa was watery AF.

    Carne asada Quesadilla - doesn't come with sour cream like the photo on the menu. This is my honest review. The cool is lazy.
    Jennifer M.

    I have been to this location a few times I've ordered the roll tacos a few times and they've always been good. I have also ordered a Carne Asada quesadilla. The first time I didn't question it and today I drove to the drive-through and I requested Carne quesadilla and I asked what does it come with the picture in the drive-through clearly shows that the Carne Asada quesadilla comes with guacamole, pico and sour cream the lady at the window told me it doesn't come with sour cream like the picture. Is it OK? No that's fine. I just wanted to know if it came like the picture if I got the wrong thing last time, maybe they forgot the sour cream if it came with it at all so i said OK yeah I wanna get one of those. I received my food and not only is my quesadilla not cut. I have never received a quesadilla that was not cut, and it was rolled up like a burrito. when I pulled up I heard the cook in the background, through the back door, just cracking up a storm like he wasn't paying attention to his job. The food here is really good. The salsa is really good. The lady at the front window is super nice and pretty. She's an older lady, but for some reason receiving a quesadilla that's not cut really bothered me especially that I plan to eat in the car during my lunch break is crazy.

    What can I say but this is down right comfort food, especially at 11:30pm at night. Hahaha... I don't think you can go wrong. I can say my go to is always a set of rolled tacos with guacamole and sour cream. Of course the cheese is a must too. The service was great and the ambiance was quiet. Although we were pick up to go. So I can't say how it would have been if we stayed. Enjoy

    Fingernail

    I found a fingernail and an avocado peel in my food. I went back for a full refund for all the food I purchased for my family. The young girl operating the cash register/window was instantly combative refusing to refund the full amount because I didn't bring everything back. I was a regular customer who would come here 2-3 times a month, and now I will never be back.

    Roll tacos covered in melted foam
    Abel T.

    I don't know why I keep coming back here, knowing this place never improves. I decided to give them one more chance because it was New Year's, so I came in to grab some rolled tacos. Honestly, it's not hard to improve simple things, like using wax paper on trays or even just getting new trays. The fact that they still serve food on foam is beyond disappointing it literally melts on to your roll tacos --do you guys even care about your customers' health? This is ridiculous . This will be my last review of Roberto's close this place down no way people should eat here .

    Carne Asada Tortilla Chips W/ Cheese
    Mariah D.

    I ordered the carne asada chips, and honestly, I was disappointed... especially for the price. The portion looked okay at first, but once I started eating, I realized there was barely any meat on them. Most of it was just chips with a little cheese, and guacamole, here and there. For how much they cost, I expected more carne asada. The chips themselves were fine, but the toppings were uneven and sparse. Definitely not worth the price -- I won't be back! Oh and the sour cream you see on it was from my own home!

    Carne asada fries
    Angelica R.

    Fist time here and food was pretty good. Restaurant is clean, service was good. Ordered carne asada burrito, plain rolled tacos and carne asada fries. All were good and an agua de Jamaica. Definitely recommend.

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat! Didn't know there area and saw the restaurant and wanted to try it. Carne asada fries and 3 rolled tacos. Taste good, both green and red sauce! Pretty good!

Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

    You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

    Love spending time with mom and sis. I was the one driving, and I got to choose this casual dining…read morespot. We got some chilaquiles! Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

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!

    Where else can you get $1.50 BIG FAT fish tacos EVERYDAY!! Yup.. you heard it right, not just on…read moreTaco Tuesday's.. that's their EVERYDAY price! And I'm not kidding when I say that the fish is HUGE! I usually order it on a flour tortilla and the fish practically fills up the length of the tortilla. And it's not all oily batter either... it's the best fish taco in San Diego and even more so because of the cheap everyday price! Service is good too and lots of seating (inside and out). They have a full bar set right in the middle and tons of tvs to watch sports and grab a drink. One weekday tip... (during the school year) Try and avoid it around 12-1.30pm on weekdays as the high schools are out for lunch and it gets a little insane. Other than that.. you can't go wrong with this spot.

    We chose El Pueblo to celebrate my husband's birthday and were really looking forward to trying it…read more- but unfortunately, it ended up being a stressful experience for us. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt chaotic. There were long lines everywhere just to place an order, and no hostess or server to help seat you or explain how things worked. You order at a kiosk, which might work in some settings, but it didn't feel organized here. Two out of our three meals came out completely wrong. My daughter ordered a very simple taco (beef and cheese only, no onion or tomatoes), and the first one was incorrect. After waiting in another long line to fix it, the replacement came out as potatoes and lettuce only. At that point, it just felt exhausting. My husband's protein bowl also included ingredients he specifically asked to leave off. We also had to stand in separate lines for drinks... and then realized we had to get back in line again just to order water. For a family dinner -- especially a birthday -- it felt unnecessarily complicated and frustrating. My enchiladas were cooked correctly but much spicier than expected for my mild taste buds (hence all the water runs). That said, I will give credit where it's due -- the drinks were excellent. If you're going just to grab cocktails and sit at the bar, I could see this being a fun spot. The bar vibe seemed lively, and the drinks were genuinely well made. Overall, the food might work for some, but the disorganized setup and repeated order mistakes made it a birthday bust for us.
