    Carnitas (wet) burrito
    Jacque M.

    I've been going here for years! Love the current owner and his family. They are kind and give amazing service. Food is on point. I got the carnitas (wet) burrito and love the ranchero sauce which is less tomato based than some other local places. Sports shown on the TV in the bar which is a plus. Old-school place with new touches which works perfectly

    The service was delightful. Love there but one get one free Monday and Tuesday Specials for combinations only. We ordered two tacos beef and chicken with rice and beans. Tacos and enchiladas with right and beans. Christian made sure we had everything we needed. He provided great service. We were able to watch the Dodger Game at our table. Some people were in the bar cheering on their favorite team. This place is a Burbank favorite.

    Bean and cheese burrito with store bought tortilla
    Alexus W.

    I really used to love this place but have been noticing each time I go lately, I have been getting a store bought tortilla. Does not taste house made at all. I always get a beans and cheese burrito. The beans are always wonderful but the tortilla is not authentic. Disappointing...

    Granada's is amazing! It's been one of my family's favorite restaurants since I was a little kid. We would come here with our entire family, including aunts and uncles, and have an incredible meal. Over the years Granada's has never disappointed us! The menu is extensive and you can get things as a combo meal or à la carte. They also have a special lunch menu each day. You really can't go wrong and the quality of food is always superb. One of my favorite things to order is the guacamole tacos. They are always fresh, a great serving, and delicious. Easy to adapt for allergies and the servers are always kind and considerate to food restrictions. For those who enjoy a drink with their meal, they also have a lot of of alcoholic beverages on their menu. The margaritas, especially the spicy margarita, are always a fan favorite. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very homey and welcoming. You feel comfortable right away and will be welcomed by kind servers and staff. It feels like family. There are a lot of booths inside the restaurant that can fit small parties to large parties for multiple families. There's also outdoor seating when the weather is nice on their patio. Lots of spaces in the parking lot too, which is super convenient. Granada's is a Burbank staple and I'm glad to see them still going after all these years! Would recommend if you're in the mood for some great Mexican food and around the area.

    We love coming here for a neighborhood friendly Mexican restaurant. The bar makes great margaritas and you can catch the games on one of their many TVs located throughout the restaurant. On Mondays and Tuesdays you can get a B1G1 on any of the #1-#12 combos after 3PM. They also have lunch specials. Servers are attentive and friendly.

    Granada is a great local Mexican Restaurant that serves good food at reasonable prices. The bartender does a great job of making sure there's plenty of alcohol and the servers all make sure you have a great time. The restaurant is clean, festive with quiet music and has several running daily specials like the Monday/Tuesday buy 1 combo get one free. The restaurant is what you would expect in a local Mexican restaurant, the regular eating area isn't huge, bar area has Bar Top as well as booth and tables along with happy hour specials!

    Took my family here on Friday night! If you love margaritas these are the best in town for sure! Their bean and cheese burrito with green sauce is a killer! There bbq wings so tasty! The servers Are friendly and great service! Come on down and get your margarita!

    I was searching for a new taco Tuesday, Mexican bar hang-out spot. (I burned my last one, enough said). I was looking for old school, parking, good tacos. I had plans to try a few more in the neighborhood but I've cancelled them; this is it! Thanks to Isidro at the bar, Vicente on the speakers and the heat in the salsa! Crispy beef tacos with guacamole are excellent. See you next week!

    Chips and dip. Bean dip is BOMB!

    Fantastic service, amazing food! Always a go to place for the family and friends! Nostalgic and homey energy.

    I'm not going to lie. I wanted pizza but my human was not listening as usual and suggested we eat at Granada. A restaurant he had driven past for years. Well okay I said. This place is very old but the prices are 2030. Definitely a family owned establishment with plenty of regulars that were on a first time basis. Staff seemed like they have been there for years even with a younger new generation helping out. Their menu was extensive. Plenty of choices to please any palette. Most of them dipped well into the mid $20 range. Unfortunately I'm a picture person. I like to see the pictures that match the description. I went with the fajitas that set me back just under $30.00. They paired it with rice and beans and a huge helping of guacamole. Very delicious and enough for two. My human ordered a chimichanga with carnitas. It too came with rice and beans and more guacamole. It set us back about $25. One thing I noticed that was decently prices were their caldos. $7-$10 for menudo, albondigas or chicken tortilla. Next time for sure. Service was okay. A little slow to start because they didn't know we were waiting in the lobby. Probably because they were all in the bar watching the Chiefs win. We were not the only ones who waited. A few parties after us were ignored too. Even with the cameras on display. Everyone gets chips and salsa along with bean dip. That stuff was off the hook. Anyways it's a great restaurant. A little pricey but good. Plenty of free parking. Big screen TVs for football.

    My boyfriend and I came here to watch a World Cup match and were some of the first customers…read moreinside! We were immediately struck by how cool the decor is! Employees were super friendly and we were excited that they were showing the telemundo World Cup coverage. The menu was great. We split the carnitas plate and got Long Island iced tea. The brought out complimentary chips and salsa as well. The salsa was so good! The carnitas plate was awesome. It came with rice and beans and plantains. It was perfect for us to split. If we were still hungry, we already had planned on ordering à la carte tacos, but the plate was perfect. We were pleased. The menu was great, food was good, drink was good, and we had a nice time! I'll definitely come back!

    WARNING: Not all Kalavera's are the same! I've been to many locations from silver lake, Santa…read moreMonica, marina, puente hills, and this location is the worst by far. Completely different menu. Food was beyond sub par you can make the food at home and would taste better! Save your money. Everything we had from two orders of "taquitos", "esquite", quesadillas and a blood orange mojito. The only thing with a bit of flavor was the esquite, but again to pay for roasted corn on the cob with just mayo and cheese? For $13 ? NEVER AGAIN. I have a problem with the way they name their items which is a bit misleading. For example, they have an item called taquitos, meaning you would expect a rolled fried taquitos. What came was tacos dorados so why is it named taquitos? They DID write on the menu that it's fried tacos..but again why are they not just calling it TACOS DORADOS? Same with esquite typically esquites are corn off the cob but this was on the COBB and yes it was described on the menu as on the Cobb but again why not call it ELOTE instead of esquite. Clearly this is semantics but just frustrating. If you want authentic Mexican food there is a Don Cuco's around the block that is WAY better than this place. They are at a different tier than this Kalavera's location. If you're a drinker perhaps that would make the food taste better...so disappointed and a waste of money!

    I forgot exactly how I first stumbled upon Cafe de Olla, but I've come here with my family a few…read moretimes, and we've definitely decided this location is better than the Monrovia one. First, their cafe de olla is absolutely delicious. This remains one of the only places where I genuinely enjoy ordering cafe de olla. Second, their food is incredible. They serve excellent portions, everything tastes fresh, and the food is just so good. I've had their taquitos and chilaquiles, and both were delicious. The only downside is that every time I've come, there has usually been a bit of a wait, especially because the restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating. The inside is cute, but small, so we usually end up sitting outside. This is where their Monrovia location does have the advantage because it has much more space. Parking can also be tricky. Good luck finding a spot close enough where you don't have to walk far. We usually end up parking in the residential area around the corner. That said, the staff are wonderful and always try to be as accommodating as possible despite how busy they are. Highly recommend this place if you're okay with possibly waiting a bit for seating. The food and cafe de olla are worth it.

    Let's start this review with the parking situation. What's up with not having parking at a lot of…read morerestaurants? We pay an arm and a leg and they can't even provide parking? My friend and I went into this Cafe De Olla on the 17th of this month at 2pm. She met me there and lives in Burbank. I have been here once, I believe back in 2018. It was pretty solid in every way. We were warmly greeted by Erick--the host, standing by the podium and right away he got us a seat inside. After like 5 minutes, Elsa, our server approached us to take our order. My friend and I both felt like we were being rushed through our meal. Food came out hot and quick. We opted for a few of their dishes. Tacos Mananeros, came with 4 tacos ($18.95), with 4 complimentary sauces. 2 of the sauces were very spicy and Elsa didn't warn us. We also got the Veggie Omelette with tomatoes, onions, spinach, mushrooms, Jack cheese, topped with avocado and a side order of hash browns. They made the hash browns perfectly. Told her nice and crispy on the top and that's what we got. (18.95). We also shared their French Toast topped with Strawberry, Blueberries, and Blackberries. ($16.95) topped with lots of Whipped Cream (which I love) and a side of syrup. We needed to add more syrup to make the French Toast more moist. The French Toast was a bit dry for our liking. Even the people sitting next to us who ordered the same thing were saying the same. On the flip side, the other 2 dishes tasted fresh and delicious. Great portions for the prices. We also got this drink called Powerful from their smoothies section of the menu. It was called Green Smoothie. Ingredients were the following: blueberries, honey, Greek Vanilla yogurt, avocado and Almond milk. It was simply very refreshing and delicious. My friend wanted some sort of Latte, Espresso, Americano, etc..but they didn't have any of those drinks. All they had was regular & decaf coffee. At first, I asked for Cranberry juice, and Jose, said they only had Apple and Orange juice. We found it a bit odd not to have any of those drinks. Going back to our server Elsa, she was a bit aloof and forgetful. I asked for a bowl of fruit, and it never made it to our table. After we were done eating, I asked for two to-go boxes and a bag, she forgot that too. We had to ask the other employees to get them for us. The same with to-go containers for our sauces. She forgot to bring napkins too. Jose, (our busboy), needs a raise and promotion! This young man read all the ingredients on the Taco menu which came with: bacon & egg, chorizo with potato & eggs, machaka/eggs, & nopaitos/eggs. The writing in their menu was very small. Another server by the name of Angel, truly was an angel. Checked on us while Elsa was taking orders over the phone. They have another location in Monrovia, a gender neutral restroom, place was very clean. Inside was small. It had 10 tables and nice couches with cozy, inspirational decor and pillows. Lovely music playing over head with a nice patio seating. Will I return? Yes, but not anytime soon! Also check for their business hours..

I didn't look inside , but likely the outside area is similar as the inside as to regards capacity. tortas very good. Moist compared to other restaurants. Chilaquiles . Super good. Only knock - the tortilla chips were already saggy by the time I got the plate. (The chilaquiles came about 10mins after my wife's tortas. ). A few minutes later (After my wife got her plate), a worker (maybe the manager?) asked what were you waiting for ? (I didn't complain) I told him , and about 5 mins later my plate came. I never saw him again. As for the tortilla chips - maybe that is their style . Big portions, I ate about half my plate. Service was above average overall. Not great. Maybe they were short staffed- idk. Didn't bother me. Parking in the lot and street. Don't think there will be a big issue.

    Saturday morning review*…read more There was alot of people waiting at 10am but within 30 mins we were called into the patio. Seated & had a question for the waiter, but she was unsure, said she'd be back with the answer and disappeared for 15-20 mins and came back with no info, she had forgot what I had asked her. It was a simple question, just asked if they still had the Birria quezadillas, she had said yes & I asked for the price becus I couldn't find it on the menu, thats when she said she'd find out the price and didn't return for a long awhile. Then when she came back she forgot and just said "they dnt sell um anymore" She seemed disconnected and so unsure. A waiter should know the menu & what is discontinued. Or at the least find out and return quickly with the info, not take long and come back having forgot to even find out. But ok, no problem we just got our drinks and the café de Olla was good. The food arrived and the rice stood out more than the Chilaquiles. The pancakes were small for the price & didnt have much flavor, once the toppings were gone the pancakes were bland. Came here becus I saw comments online, but I dont think I'd go back, there are many other places with outstanding food & service. The Mexican rice & Café de olla were the standouts of the meal. If you live nearby I could see this being a good place to enjoy a meal, but to come in from farther out isn't worth the drive.
