Great food and energetic vibes in this lively Mexican restaurant. ​This place has an incredible atmosphere. The interior features really cool, stylized Day of the Dead like decor--lots of vibrant colors, and artwork that gives the space a ton of personality. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We went on a weekend, and they had a lively live band playing that kept the energy in the room incredibly high. It's loud, fun, and definitely feels like a party. ​The menu is a big step up from your standard taco joint. This is elevated Mexican cuisine done right. A nice variety of drinks as well. ​As for the service, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The staff is highly effective and fast--drinks arrived quickly, empty plates disappeared instantly, and they kept the table moving smoothly, however, the vibe is definitely more transactional than friendly. I did have an issue on my last visit to the restaurant and management addressed it immediately with a very satisfactory resolution. They do care about their customers. read more

We went to Mizner Park the evening before Cinco de Mayo. First time eating there. The hostess seated us immediately at the table of our choice and chatted a few minutes; we asked if she was working on Cinco de Mayo and she energetically said " oh yes!! I love when it is busy and a little crazy "!! We had fresh warm chips & salsa to start and I had a Casa Margarita which hit the spot!! Our Server, Natalie, was very attentive and it was a pleasure to chat with her. Our food choices were Korean Short rib Empanadas and Prime Barbacoa Enchiladas. No room for dessert. The restaurant looks out onto plaza street and is a very vibrant vibe. read more

Service is fine here, we used to go more often. Food is ok but quality and serving size has gone down. But the biggest issue is the absolutely ridiculous live music at night when we go out for dinner. Recommendation to management - why do you have this annoying and horrible live music on the weekend when you are a restaurant? You cannot hear anyone at your table with banging on drums and blasting club music at the RESTAURANT when a lot of people are actually eating dinner. No plans to come back anytime soon with this. Ruined our meal and we ate quickly and left. The ambience was great until this started. read more

On July 14, 2026, at 12:40 pm, I dined at the restaurant for the very first time. I loved the atmosphere and the decor. Service was quick. I started with a Strawberry Margarita. Even though I requested no salt on the rim, my glass had black salt, but only on the half. Reilly P. was able to answer all my questions in regard to both the drinks and the food, knowledgeably. My entire was chicken quesdillas served on a wooden platter with sour cream, salsa, etc. The dish was delicious! As a dessert I had a Irish Coffee (listed on the check as Single Jameson,) with a Lucha Libre (a sort of ice cream sandwich - doughnuts with vanilla ice cream in the middle.) The entire meal was fantastic! The service was attentive! Reilly P. was great! The price was in range of most upscale Mexican Restaurants, too! read more

This restaurant is located in Mizner Park in Boca Raton among other restaurants and shops. The area is really beautiful to walk around before/after you eat. We didn't make reservations ahead of time but luckily the wait was only 20 minutes. The hostesses were very nice and got us seated right after they texted us when our table was ready. We waited a bit before our server came and took our order. Hubby got the Loaded Guacamole and I got the Carne Asada Quesadillas. The guac is prepared table side so it was nice to watch it be made to your specifications right in front of you. The end product was absolutely divine - highly recommend! The quesadillas were also amazing - nicely crisped tortillas filled with cheese and carne asada (other meats were available as well). They are served with salsa, fresh cream, and another spicy dip. The food and service were both excellent - give this a try next time you are in the area! read more

What a funky little spot! Such a fun romantic, goth vibe with their decor. My friend and I sat at the bar to enjoy their Happy Hour cocktails and discounted food items. Highly enjoyed their margaritas. We order a spicy marg, passion fruit marg, and their blood orange marg- all delish! For food we ordered a half portion of the Calavares salad as well as their chicken Al pastor tacos. Both were very flavorful and came loaded. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday 11:30-4 with $7.99 margaritas, $9.99 craft, and $8.50 spirits. Beer and wine for $6.50. Food specials are also fantastic with $4 tacos along with other reasonably priced food options. Our bartenders were lovely and very attentive. read more

Surf and turf fajitas was served with generous portion of tender and perfectly cooked, medium, rare steak and nicely, seasoned shrimp. Korean barbecue pork belly made a nice taco.

We came here for my birthday We wanted something close to home and somewhat not too pricey since my aunt was treating me for my birthday. Our server was Sara she was amazing! She was very attentive, answered our questions as to what dishes she recommended. The food was great, plenty of food, and good flavor. The dessert was amazing. The inside of the restaurant kind of reminded me of a dungeon in a way ( not complaining) I thought it was pretty cool with the skulls around the restaurant had a good energy to it. I really enjoyed this place read more

First time here tonight and the decor is pretty cool. We were seated immediately and our server was friendly and attentive. My friend got a frozen margarita and chicken fajitas. She enjoyed her drink and meal. I got an Al Pastor margarita and prime barbacoa enchiladas. The drink was nicely presented but I couldn't taste any tequila at all. The enchiladas were two of the tiniest ever with barely any meat and the entire dish was extremely salty. I would not eat here again, sadly. read more

Calaveras was AMAZING!!!! This Mexican food has to be the top 3 that I've tried in Boca Raton. I made a reservation for indoor seating as it was a Friday night. We got seated quickly. The interior decor was so elaborate and embellished. The seats were made of red velvet, there were beautiful paintings adorning the walls, and the chandelier lights were made of little sugar skulls! Elsa was our server. She was so kind and explained everything in detail. She gave us her recommendations for all of the food, which were all spot on. My friend and I ordered a few appetizers and shared everything. We got margaritas to start; I got a skinny margarita which was delicious. I loved the black salt on the rim, it was unique and different. We ordered the table side guacamole which was made with so much care. We got the mild version. It was absolutely amazing and extremely fresh. The tortilla chips were different than most chips; these were very crunchy with some bubbles & had a different taste. So yummy. We shared the short rib empanadas and the street corn which were both fantastic. Definitely need to order both of these as appetizers. The short rib empanadas were filled with meat and were so flavorful. There were 3 empanadas in the serving. The street corn came with 4 corn husks that were cut. These were SO GOOD!! They did get a little messy since you needed to eat them with your hands. They were covered with red flakes and cheesy sauce. 10/10. We ordered the barbacoa tacos to share which came 2 tacos along with rice and pinto beans. The beef was so tender and melted in your mouth. We got them on hard tacos. Honestly had SUCH a fabulous dining experience here and I will absolutely be back!!!! read more

Calaveras Cantina was a great place to go for Mexican food. We ate outside and the weather was beautiful. The inside of the restaurant was decorated with a great ambiance. Our server was very attentive and did an excellent job. The food was so good. We didn't take pictures of the chicken/ steak fajita that we shared because we ate it and then realized that we forgot. It did not disappoint. I had an Arnold Palmer and I had a free refill. So glad we found this restaurant! read more

Awesome spot for high quality Mexican food that rivals what you find in Los Angeles! The interior is extremely well decorated with a red and black dia de los muertos vibe featuring lots of roses and skeletons. It also reminded me of tattoos because of the font and art style used throughout. On Sundays at 1pm they have a mariachi band that takes requests and plays in front of your table. It is a very large restaurant that can easily seat over 200 with both indoor and outdoor seating, but keep in mind that even the indoor section is exposed to the outdoors since there aren't many walls on the sides. It does have AC blowing directly over the tables though. To start, we ordered the table side guacamole, which they make to your preference of spice in front of you. Our preparer wasn't very hospitable personally, but she did make a great dip. The avocados were perfectly ripe and the tortilla chips were dusted with spices, but needed salt to bring out the flavor. I ordered 3 street tacos and loved the tortillas they came on. They weren't uniform, so I'm assuming they're made in-house, but I didn't get confirmation from the waitstaff. Al Pastor - Classic street taco that had a lovely mix of sweet and savory. The crispiness of the pork added great taste and texture without it being dry. I also appreciated that the pineapple was truly ripe as opposed to artificially sweetened, as well as the finely diced raw onions, which didn't overpower the dish like you sometimes experience with large chunks. Spicy Korean Pork Belly - The best taco, full stop. It's filled with a big piece of chicharrón, not too meaty, but not too fatty either, that is caramelized from cooking down its brown sugar marinade. It wasn't as spicy as I expected, but the flavor was absolutely incredible. The kimchi added a nice bite and fermented flavor too. Cali Fish - The fish was well cooked and crunchy, but the meat itself needed more seasoning. The toppings and salsa with it were delicious however. read more

We came for a quick drink in-between our museum visit and dinner. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the specials. We got two espresso martinis on happy hour and a few cups of water. The place is well decorated and the bathrooms were clean, albeit a bit dark. The weather was hot and they had the doors and walls all propped open so the AC in the place was not quite the reprieve I was hoping for. We were about to head out for dinner, but they did seem to have decent $3 tacos for happy hour. The rest of the menu seemed a little on the pricier side, including the drinks (our martinis were $10 each on happy hour). I'd still recommend this place though for good vibes and great service. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for some Mexican food because instagram made it look worthwhile. Upon arrival, we were sat right away (party of 4 with 1 high top chair) and immediately i was gravitated towards all the cultural artwork displayed. We started off with chips and salsa but also guacamole to have options. They make the guacamole right in front of you which is pretty neat and you can tell them how spicy to make it. If you like tequila, you're set because their menu offered endless options and even had super high end brands--if you're into that. My cocktail was super tasty (however i forgot the name) and I tried someone else's margarita and it was made just right! Moving onto food, I knew i had to get Birria tacos because they're my weakness and they did not disappoint! I'd love to come back to try another food item and even cocktail because this cuisine is right up my alley. The bathrooms were perfectly clean and our service was amazing here. I'd highly recommend if you're in the Boca area and want to go shopping or for a walk right after! read more

Everything went perfectly during my visit to Calaveras Cantina! I stopped in for drinks and guacamole with friends, and everything was fantastic. The vibe of the restaurant is on point -- a great mix of music, stylish décor, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. I had the coconut mojito, which was the perfect blend of mint, coconut juice, and rum -- super refreshing and delicious. The tableside guacamole is always a great choice. I love that they ask how spicy you want it and make it right in front of you. It adds a bit of showmanship and makes the experience even more enjoyable. I wish I had taken more photos inside, but I didn't want to intrude since a lot of guests were snapping selfies and enjoying the ambiance. I'll definitely be returning with friends and family -- highly recommend! read more

Enjoyed the lunch here. Our server was genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome right away.

Such an underrated choice in Mizner! Calaveras delivered in the department of drinks, bites and ambiance. The espresso martinis were super good and come with churro in them. I always say you can judge a Mexican restaurant by the table side guac and this guac was some of the best I've had! Our server was also super nice and attentive even though it was a busier night in Mizner. There was also some sort of live music putting our experience over the top! read more

food and service were fantastic especially the homemade guacamole. the margaritas were very watered down and were mostly ice. I had the shrimp taco meal, and my wife had the checkin. Tacos were excellent. the rice and beans portion was very small and not worth the price. The highlight of the meal was the homemade guacamole made table-side. with the fresh chips, it was awesome. read more

This review and rating is strictly based upon their happy hour we indulged in. I cannot rate their restaurant food, with the exception of one item we tried from the happy hour menu. We sat at the bar and were met by a really good bartender who mixed us a couple of the specials they had listed: the Jefe's Bourbon (for me) and a Blood Orange Margarita (for the better half). The mixology performed in front of us was a sight to behold in its own right, but the flavors of these drinks were even better (fantastic). I enjoyed mine so much a ordered a second one. The better half ordered a Korean short rib empanada, at the recommendation of another woman at the bar. It was fairly large, beautifully presented and tasted great! If we did not already have plans to have dinner elsewhere we probably would have ordered another one and a couple other items from that happy hour menu. The restaurant and bar areas were well decorated and themed out. This would be a place, should we ever return (we were on a Brightline day trip), to have lunch or dinner at. read more

Parking is street parking or the parking garage behind the restaurant. I didn't pay for parking. So I'm not sure if normally there is a fee. There are bathrooms on site The place was super cute and the whole area is really nice. Nice to walk around after I went for taco Tuesday we got the guacamole and its table side guac cart came and it was awesome but we had to ask for chips. They do come with it but it was just odd that the guac cart came long before the chips came. Drinks were good. And food was good. 3$ tacos on taco Tuesday. They were good but not like so amazing I will find this place for more tacos. It was a nice spot, and could find parking not too bad. But I wouldn't say it's the top Mexican restaurant. But it is fun for an outing and to hang out and walk around after or stop at after. A day of shopping. read more

Read all of the wonderful yelp reviews and came in for an early lunch. There was lots of outdoor seating under an umbrella, and the inside was a lot of fun and beautifully decorated. Victoria, our waitress told us about the tequila bar with over 220 varieties and the weekly specials. The lunch special was 2 tacos with soup or salad. I ordered two shrimp tacos with soup and a frozen passionfruit margarita. My margarita came quickly and it was excellent. The soup was full of chicken, beans, avocado & flavor. My tacos had pepitas & a creamy chipotle sauce. The ancho, chipotle hot sauce on the table was excellent. An 18% sales charge was added to the bill and was tax. Even with 2 lunch specials and one drink each, it was an expensive lunch. read more

Calaveras Cantina is a pleasant spot with indoor and outdoor seating. My parents and I opted to sit outside because the weather was nice. The server was friendly and was happy to answer any questions we had. To share, my family ordered chips and salsa. The seasoning on the chips tasted like the seasoning you would have on Doritos, which I wasn't a big fan of. I got the wet burrito with carne asada and it's definitely messy but it was very good. My mother enjoyed her shrimp ceviche as well. All in all, Calaveras Cantina is a great place if you're craving quality Mexican food and sitting outside is perfect if you're wanting a cool breeze and the opportunity to people watch. read more

Orvis went here today at around 1 o'clock where they were serving brunch on a Sunday. They also had mariachis which were very good. This review should be a 3.5 but I'm going to explain why it's a 3. Mainly because they don't allow you to give a 3.5 and it definitely was not a four mainly based on the fish taco. It was a pretty terrible fish taco. I'm not even sure what kind of fish they use, but it definitely tasted frozen to me and it definitely was fishy tasting. To me this is one of the signature items at any Mexican restaurant it has to be solid. One of our members of our group got the omelette with a bunch of avocado. She said it was very good. My other companion got some sort of Benedict and it was pretty decent as well. The guacamole was absolutely solid, but I would not say that that's a large portion for the price. I also got the pozole soup and I felt it was way too thick and pretty unfavorable so overall like I said it's a 3.5. read more

I have come here about three or four times the food is very good in my opinion it tastes fresh and unique enough. I would say it's better than Rocco's tacos and comparable to El Camino or La Condesa. The chicken burrito is very good that is probably my favorite dish. The chips and salsa are also yummy. The environment is really nice good vibes, very clean, a lot of space and the decor is fun and different. Definitely a good restaurant if you have a large party. Last weekend the manager, Joe was amazing he helped my fiancé and I get a table very quickly he was very attentive and professional and kind, thank you! We loved our waitress too! The only critique we have is that the birria tacos could be better, my fiancée rated them a 6/10 because they were not crispy at all. All in all this is a great restaurant in a great area. read more

Went with a group of family members! We started out with drinks. We all had blood orange drinks! They had the margaritas, I had it as a martini! The chips were freshly made!

Arrived at 7:30 PM on a Sunday, peak dining hours, holiday weekend, start of the season in Florida. Asked for outdoor seating. Nearly the entire patio sat empty, yet we were told it would be a 35+ minute wait because they were "understaffed." That's not a staffing issue that's management failure. The hostess couldn't have cared less, unbothered, and clearly used to delivering excuses. "We're usually not busy on Sundays!"... what? Not her fault, though. The blame falls squarely on whoever's running this place into the ground. We left and went to El Camino instead, phenomenal service, lively atmosphere, and miles beyond this train wreck of a restaurant. Honestly, best decision we made all night. Happy to drive the extra ten minutes to avoid this disaster. read more
