Kalaveras is a fairly large, family owned/operated “chain” of restaurants throughout SoCal; you’ve probably seen one or two in your travels. It’s a “modern Mexican” restaurant in design and food offerings. The food at Kalaveras isn’t bad in fact, my girlfriend said their Albondigas Soup might be the best she’s ever had. However, it feels like Kalaveras tries too hard to be “fancy” and somewhat froo froo with their offerings, much in the same way as the Javier’s chain. In our opinion, Mexican food just needs to be freakin’ good it doesn’t need to get lost in fancy presentation. And that’s kind of the downside to Kalaveras.

Kalaveras has recently added a controversial service charge to their bills.

We had an amazing time enjoying dinner and drinks with my wife and kids. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the entire staff was friendly and cheerful, providing excellent service along with delicious food and drinks. This has definitely become one of our new favorite places for authentic Mexican cuisine.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food and atmosphere were fantastic. I enjoyed a lunch meal, and the price per person was around $20–30. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service also a 5, and the atmosphere a 5. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the vibe here. Decor reminds me of Tempo Cantina. Drinks were good, and nachos hit the spot. DJ was setting up, so I didn't get to see the vibes after 8 pm. Would come here again.
The food was decent. It was the brunch buffet. I'm sure the specialty plates are better because they'll cook to order. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
