We come a lot and have been disappointed with anything we order. The food and fresh. The people are very nice.

Tiny, Overpriced burrito
Happy G.

My last review was the last time I was here. I gave it another shot, thinking it might have improved. I thought wrong. Still the smallest burrito, to top it off, they're charging more. Not sure how they're still in business. Burrito was bland, very little flavor. It was supposed to come with guacamole, I didn't see any in it. The salsa was good but I didn't pay over $11 for that. Pretty disappointing. My picture is of my burrito. The plate that it's on is a SMALL dixie paper plate! Unbelievable!

Order was wrong. Lettuce was old. Tacos old and cold. Paid too much for a dinner. They could have done better and have in the past.

My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

If you're looking for tacos, burritos, or nachos in Simi Valley, this is definitely a place to check out. I do have a couple of suggestions. Both times I've ordered a burrito, it was filled with a lot of rice. I understand keeping costs down, but I'd like to see a better balance of ingredients. I also think the service could be more attentive and welcoming. When you walk in, it isn't clear whether you should seat yourself, and the staff are often in the back. A friendly greeting and a little more attention would make the experience better. Overall, I had a good experience, and I hope the owners and management take this feedback in the spirit it's intended. There's a lot to like here, and a few small improvements could make it even better.

BEST Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley!! It's traditional Mexican food, but with a modern twist!…read more I got ceviche with rice, beans, and a Mexican coke. It was finger licking good! The ceviche had plenty of shrimp in it! Such a great amount of protein. I'm typically very particular about shrimp texture, this was absolutely perfect. Cooked to perfection and so moist! It was topped with mango, which paired so deliciously with the lime. Avocado and cucumbers with tajin were also included. And I got 4 small tostadas, crackers, and tapatio packets on the side. My Ubereats driver took a long time to get my food to me, and I was starting to get impatient and hangry, but receiving my order made up for everything! I cannot wait to order again!

This review is for the restaurant named "Kalaveras" (in Simi Valley, California), which has just…read morerecently closed. This business location was renamed to "Kulturas," which has an entirely separate yelp business page. Kulturas had a soft opening on September 3rd, 2026, and they are scheduled to have their official grand opening on September 24th. I recently visited this Kulturas, and I plan to write a yelp review on this new business soon, after I have had a few more visits here and I've solidified my opinion. However, now that Kalaveras has closed, I'd like to post my review on my experiences here. I have been to this Kalaveras about a dozen times over the last few years. Throughout all my experiences the food and the drinks were always very good, and I had no problems whatsoever. The service at this Kalaveras was very good most of the time, and I only experienced one bad waitress with a bad attitude. The atmosphere here was always clean, vibrant and inviting. The only problem that seemed to exist was that this restaurant was VERY LOUD inside, so much so that the people I regularly go to restaurants with often did not want to come here. I've seen other folks mention how loud it was at this Kalaveras in their yelp reviews as well. This atmosphere appeared to be targeted for an audience in their twenties, and in large groups, especially for folks looking for a club/night-life environment. Unfortunately, I believe this environment was just annoying to older folks, or even any age group of people who actually wanted to hear the person with whom they were talking. Overall, this Kalaveras was a very good restaurant with very good service, with only one major flaw: the loud noise. From my first experience at Kulturas, it appears that the owners and managers here are trying to make improvements, and they are trying to transition this restaurant from a 3-star or a 4-star location to a 5-star location. Based on my first experience at Kulturas, they might succeed.
