    Not our vibe. It’s a spot for a younger crowd complete with a “parade for table shots” lol. The lighting and music gives it a club feel.. We’ll pass.

    We went at 530 happy hour, for a birthday celebration. When we tried to order happy hour food the server did they only had 3 of the 8 items available. Then we tried to order off the seafood Wednesday\Thursday special menu that is posted online, the server said they no longer offered that menu, even though it’s online. I didn’t understand why we could order the 5 taquito dinner, but not the 3 taquito happy hour plate. We spent almost $400 with tip, I really just wish that would have honored the menus they advertise.

    We go to Taco Tuesday every week for abut 2 months now and love ... but yesterday a weird thing happened .... I asked for a bit more salsa .. that came with my small basket of chips and they told me I had to pay $2.00 additionally for 2 Tablespoons of salsa .. was not happy at all with this ... it's SALSA. not steak!!!! The server who waited on us though extremely nice and pleasant has so much perfume on - I did not not want to call her back as I could not get that lingering smell to go away ... cologne or aftershave should not be permitted on a server who is serving you food .. just and FYI

    Nothing special. Just dinner. Service could have been better and the food did not taste the same as some other Kalaveras locations I’ve been to. Still had a good time with my family.

    If you want to feel like you’re eating overly salty Mexican food in a club this is your place.

    I went for my birthday. Party of 11. Dinner drinks and appetizers. Towards the end, a waitress kept asking me if I wanted them to sing me happy birthday. I said sure and then no one ever came. They sang to 3 different parties and skipped me. Which was ok. But my dad approached a waitress and asked them to sing to me and she said they only sing to people they order food and drinks. We spend almost $400 and when they did come, my name was misspelled and the sign was missing letters.

    The food was good but, the service was slow and unreliable. The music is way too loud, you can’t have a conversation with the person next to you or hear the wait staff to make your order. The cocktails are amazing!

    Service was not bad. I would say a bit better than average but the food was the worst Mexican I’ve ever had. If I ever went again I would go for the chips and salsa cause I mean how can you mess that up and some drinks.
