   We came here for my birthday celebration with some friends, service was excellent even after we came here for the buffet. But we were only going to have less than an hour to eat. We saw online the brunch buffet was from 9-3p & our reservation was at 1p. They were able to accommodate and let us drink "all you can drink mimosas and/or micheladas" for two hours. And we just ordered off the menu, which would come out to pretty much the same amount as the buffet with all you can drink drinks. Cindy our servicer was excellent & we will definitely come back and recommend.

   I was unaware that SUNDAY BRUNCH IS BUFFET ONLY, i was disappointed but thought to give it a try since we were already there. Paid $100 for 2ppl. witch included "bottomless mimosas"(only i drink-but price still included mimosas for 2)food all looked sad and cold. (I NOTICED THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY HEATING TOOLS OR CANDLES KEEPING THE FOOD WARM)there was no notes or signs on anything to tell what anything was. no servers to help assist to tell you what anything is. I had to flag someone down to ask if there were any pancakes or waffles and what things were. then i was directed to a "station" but had to wait for someone to come out. All in all , I had : 1 waffle, 2 drenched in heavy oil eggs /bland and unseasoned and 2 small rock hard churros that we could not bite into. My daughter had: 1-Chile relleno that was only served in half size and was very cold, 1 mini cup arroz con leche that was also served cold and she couldn't bite into mini churro either. ** No salt or pepper or any condiments on any tables so i had to find someone to flag down which was odd considering how empty it was. in total maybe 4 tables were occupied. so it was a bit frustrating to have to wait and look for someone. WILL NOT RETURN . I FEEL WE GOT BOMBUZZULED! WE GOT ROBBED $100!! WAS NOT WORTH THE FOOD OR EXPERIENCE. WE LEFT HUNGRY AND UNSATISFIED WITH A BAD TASTE IN OUR MOUTHS, this was for my birthday. 👎🏽

   We really enjoyed our time at Kalaveras! The food was great and the server was fantastic too! We happened to be there during happy hour and ordered some happy hour items as well as regular menu items, and everything was delicious. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Loved the decor too!

   The staff was outstanding. Food is very flavorful and inexpensive. Love the vibe in this place. It has a very lounge type feel to it. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a chill but fun atmosphere and good tacos. My favorite is the chicharrón tacos. So delicious!!!

   Walked in and immediately knew it was a mistake. Blaringly loud pop music and video screens everywhere. Hostess even apologized for the volume without us saying a thing. Asked waiter if it was possible to lower the volume and we were told “we’re not allowed… it’s the vibe they want.” Other clientele looked to be just as unhappy as we were. Food and service were actually great but most definitely WON’T GO BACK. Again, none of the clientele appeared to be enjoying the volume. If you want to go and stare at your tablemates because it’s too loud to communicate, this is the place for you! Sad as food and waiter were quite great.

   Food and service were mediocre. When you have to ask for the complimentary chips and salsa, ask twice for drinks, and get up to request your own bill, no intention to go back to this place.
