My family and I went here for a relaxing place to sit after walking around the shops nearby. We were immediately intrigued by the huge salsa bowls but later found out they are for guacamole. None of us are guacamole lovers, or we would've ordered that! We ordered the queso, salsa, and some tacos. The food came out within 20 minutes and the service was great! If you are looking for a unique place with a great atmosphere, come here! We loved watching them make the guacamole in front of surrounding customers! read more

In the mood for some Tex/Mex food? Guac & chips? Tacos? Flautas? Fajitas? And of course Tequila! Because honestly what's some good Tex/Amex food without a delicious Margarita (frozen or on the rocks). This place did not disappoint our cravings. The hubs & I had lunch here and it got packed very quickly. We choose to sit inside although they offer plenty of seating outdoors- I wanted to look at all the cool decor and lighting fixtures. There was so much to look at. They have a HUGE wall painted with the icon scene from Dusk Till Dawn ( where Salma Hayek comes out dancing with a snake) I really appreciated all the details that went into decorating this place. From the ceilings to the menu it was all very well thought of. So many colors and textures. Very Cool! But the light fixtures were definitely my fav. The service was fast and the food was good but the star of the show was definitely the classic margaritas we had. Delicioussss!! Left us wanting more. What we ordered- Table side Guacamole- 10/10 You had me at Guac & chips but than to have it made fresh table side ??!! Say less! Chicken flautas- 7/10 Crispy, lightly seasoned and topped w/diced tomatoes and salsa - good Tacos - 8/10 The hubby ordered some tacos and I'm gonna say he enjoyed them because he left no crumbs behind! read more

Pay attention to the bad reviews. This place is as overpriced as it gets. My friends chose this place since we were meeting halfway and I was looking forward to going. However, the margaritas were extremely weak. After three with no buzz, I gave up. Then the nerve to charge $12 for bottom shelf tequila? No, thanks, will not be returning. Food was average at best. read more

Taco Tuesday is a good deal, delicious tacos and good sized portions. Accommodated 7 people. The weird downside, happy hour is only honored at bar and outside seating, and they include gratuity in the price when you receive your bill. I don't mind it, but, a consumer is forced to pay a percentage on the bill without a choice, the service was absolutely excellent, busy environment and ambiance for the location was decent, they allow pets at the table, for some that is fine, for me I really did not care. read more

Use to be a good restaurant. Became very spoiled. Drinks are all watered down. Slow service. Bringing the chips in a cup instead of a bowl with mostly crumbs with the guacamole. read more

They have really amazing vegan options and the guacamole is always to die for. Of course their margaritas never miss either.

No more lobster enchiladas?! Ugh this was the thing (in my opinion) that put you a notch above El Camino and Rocco's. Super disappointing.

The service was amazing. Food portions were more than enough and the churro donut stole the show! Would definitely visit and recommend to anyone visiting Boca looking for Mexican food. The darkness of the restaurant really adds character and creates a great ambiance and space perfect for pictures! read more

Wow!! Let's first say I didn't want Mexican..... But we went. Had dinks...and a few appetizers. And then it hit us, this place was amazing. Sooooo good. We sat at the bar, Barbara was our bar keep with the mostisss. She was great, friendly, smart and so attentive. We will be back just for her Okay, things ya need to know. You don't have to like tequila to enjoy the drinks. I had a vodka version of a spicy friend I can not forget. The Viper is the way to go, well, for me, full of flavor with a slap in the ass that was good and wanting you asking for another. The drinks are amazing. So much care put into a glass. Makes you want to go to bartenders school! Okay, again, I didn't want Mexican let me remind you. We started off with ceviche. The cobia one. Stop here, you really won't want anything else. But.....you must. Perusing the menu we land on Duck Confit emapanada. Wait, is this a Mexican restaurant????? Hell ya, these emapanadas were so delicious made you think you where eating them on the Champs Elysees This was all we had, but it was enough to know we will be back to sample more of the menu and Barbara, the best bartender! read more

We came to Calaveras Cantina for a nightcap. It was quite late after 11:00 pm so we just had a couple of margaritas and enjoyed DJ while dancing. They were great. There wasn't a lot of people which was surprising for a Saturday night. We had a great time though. Service was good, but like I said, it was a Saturday night and we didn't have any food just a few drinks and dancing, so I can't really review any more from this place. I am planning to come back and have a full experience. I'll update my review accordingly read more

WATCH OUT, they charge 18% gratuity for any sized party and 20% for party's of 6 or more. Absolutely bogus, hope they make that illegal, definitely not tipping if I'm already getting charged the amount I would've tipped!! Total should have been $82, turned into $104!!!! Horrible, just horrible. read more

Came here for brunch, the place is very on theme and decorated very well. The service was ok, only complaint is that our waitress brought one persons dish 15 minutes before everyone else's instead of all at once. Other than that the food was pretty good, I especially enjoyed the avocado toast. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. read more

Came here with my wife, brother and his girlfriend. We had been here a few times before. Excellent margaritas and tacos (tried them all, and they're all delicious). Tableside guacamole is always a hit. Place was packed but they got us seated in about 25 minutes. Great atmosphere, love the Dia de los Muertos themed interior. Please note: they've started automatically adding 18% gratuity to your bill. Easy to forget after a few drinks! read more

Been waiting for Calaveras to open in Mizner Park! The covered outside bar and patio is perfect for a sunny, or even a rainy south Florida day. There's only one way to judge a Mexican restaurant and that's by their house margarita, and I was not disappointed with mine! The Brisket Burrito was huge and delicious, but it was missing some relief from the heaviness, some shredded lettuce and sour cream or guacamole on the side would probably make it perfect. The rice bowls look amazing, definitely need to try one of those next! read more

Wonderful restaurant. The food is right on the money. The drinks are pretty good. The staff is super nice. And you can't beat the location. Excellent fresh guacamole. Highly recommended. We ordered a lot of different things to try, and everything was pretty good. I would recommend the nachos with as much as you can put on it. They do a great job. A little loud, but a fun place to eat. They don't rush you, and they check on you regularly. Just what you want. read more

Great place for Mexican/American style food. The service was great and so was the food; great taste, great variety. Try the duck empanadas. They're called Duck Confit empanadas. Confit means slow cooked. Very good. The place is very cool inside. They also do table side guacamole which is really good too. One star comes off due to the 18% gratuity automatically included in the bill. My experience worked out to be 18% but they lost the other 7% that I would have given them. What if someone gets bad service and doesn't want to tip 18%??? I guess most people wouldn't argue it and pay it but still. I know things are tough economically for small businesses but damn, let the people make the choice. This place is confident enough in their service and food to warrant the 18%. I hope they keep that up. read more

I've been to Calaveras Cantina on three occasions and was very happy each time. My most recent experience was tonight, and our server Morgan was delightful. The bartenders are friendly, the food is delicious, and the service is good. I can't ask for anything more! read more

Good little Mexican restaurant. I've been to the other locations. All about the same. I love the decor. I didn't eat this time. Only had drinks. Service was great as always. read more

You must get the guacamole... it's made freshly at each patrons table. I had the surf and turf fajita. The large serving is enough for 2 people. It's delicious but if you love spicy food, you will be disappointed. I had to drench the food in their signature hot sauce to feel a small flicker of heat. The decor is very dia del muerto, which adds a wonderful flair to the dining experience. I love this place and look forward to forward to exploring the menu further. read more

Overpriced, a total rip off for the quality of the food. The service was awful, yet they include gratuity, our waitress was polite, however, she forgot to serve certain items, & never checked on us. The food was mediocre at best, very bland, & the server did not accurately explain the menu. Would not eat there again. read more

Horrible service. Waited 10 minutes at 1:45 for the lady at front desk to lift up her head and acknowledge I wanted a table outside . Finally she gave me table with horrible attitude. She's not suited to be any kind of hostess. Then took another 5 minutes to get waitress happened to be very pleasant I wanted to leave but my wife wanted to try food. They need to get their act together read more

We took the Brightline train to Boca to celebrate my mom's birthday back in July and ended up in Mizner Park. We did a little shopping and although I wasn't too hungry everyone else was and we settled for some Mexican food. I'll be honest. My sister chose this place because it looked "spooky" and she knows how much I love Halloween. I must say the decor was fantastic! I loved it. I even walked around to admire it all while walking to the restroom. But let's get to the good part...THE FOOD! Wow. Even though I wasn't feeling too well or too hungry, the aromas coming from all the appetizers and platters being served was delightful! Everyone decided on the guacamole and chips. If I remember correctly the chips are on the house and they are homemade. They were very good. The guacamole was excellent too. Done table side with fresh ingredients. We also ordered more chips with queso & chorizo and it was out-of-this-world! Soooo delicious! I ordered something (Pollo Loco) but only took a few bites and decided I would take it to go. It was phenomenal. I just had no appetite. The chicken breast was very tender and full of exquisite flavors. The veggies were cooked just right and the rice was very good too. I also ordered a side of their sweet plantains and everyone at the table shared it because the combination of the the sweetness of the syrup plus the queso fresco & culantro gave it a nice kick and took it up a notch. Definitely not your typical maduros. It was amazingly GOOD! Never had maduros like that but now I am hooked!! So fast forward to two weeks ago and my husband and I went for a date night. I was hungry so I knew I would enjoy it more than the last time. We ordered the nachos with birria meat, enchiladas and my husband had the fajitas surf & turf. For the price, the fajita "large" platter was small. But the meat was delicious and the shrimp was phenomenal! However my chicken enchiladas left me disappointed. The chicken was very bland. The enchilada sauce was good so it kinda balanced out BUT I still wish the chicken was seasoned more. Now, what I truly think was outstanding was the dessert. We ordered the Red Velvet Tres Leches and it was one of the best tres leches I have ever had. It also added an extra touch when the Chef personally delivered the dessert. He wanted to apologize for the delay (which we were ok with because we were NOT in any hurry) and mentioned that the merengue on top was fresh. Mind you, I'm not a fan of red velvet so this was surprising. This was the item on the menu that pushed the envelope and turned this review into a 5 star! read more

Do yourselves a favor and go to this place! It's fancy fancy, as it should be, considering its location. Dress nice, soak in the fancy vibes and good food! Because of the location, food and drinks can be a little bit pricey but definitely worth it. There was a little bit of a wait but it was not bad at all. The service was awesome! We had questions about the menu and our waiter always knew the answer to them. He also had a few suggestions on what to choose on the menu, we went with it, and I'm glad we did. Love their chips and homemade guacamole (that's made right in front of you). Love their beans and rice. Love the birria tacos. Love their beer. Everything is so so so so good. Highly recommend this place and we would definitely find ourselves back here if we are ever in the area again. read more

I am in Boca Raton for a month with work. I heard great things about Calaveras Cantina and decided to give it a try. Located in Mizner Park, it's a great place to walk, shop, and spend time with your dog. I came here for the lunch happy hour and had a great experience. Incredible deals, apps, food, and even better service. The hostesses were very amicable off the bat, greeting me and my dog with great energy that makes you want to come in and eat there and it worked. We sat in the outdoor bar and were greeted quickly upon sitting. Our bartender was Kody and he went above and beyond in service. I'd come back just to have the service experience I had again. If you sit at the bar inside or out ask for Kody, he is the best! Additionally, he was a killer mixologist! Best mango and passion fruit margaritas in south florida with black salt to top it off. I got the chips and salsa to start - one of the best salsas I've had - and the ceviche samurai recommended by Kody and it was stellar. I also got the $3.50 braised lamb tacos and a couple pollo tacos for my dog (with all the dog dangers removed). I ate mine almost as fast as my dog.. needless to say it was one of the better dining experiences I've had from Jupiter beach to Miami. The manager even came out to talk with me and ask me how the experience was and I was happy to give nothing other than a positive review. I am tough but fair when it comes to reviews but this spot is a hidden gem. Make sure you make this a part of your travel itinerary. Casual, affordable, great service, and fun to bring the pup. I'll be back every time I visit South Florida! read more

food was cold and horrible i cant believe they would serve such a pathetic meal I got steak and shrimp tacos and the shrimp was cold with no flavor and my steak came with only fat no meat on it they need to hire new chefs because they obviously don't care about the customer ! read more

Huge fan of the Taco Tuesday deals here. $4 for ANY of their tacos, small bites are cheap and drinks- pretty solid. And the food is delicious, my only gripe was the tortillas were kinda doughy which I didn't like, I figured I would try corn next time. I got the shrimp, steak and chicken tacos, the steak was awesome, cooked perfect. The shrimp was also delicious and the chicken was bland but not bad. We also got the salsa trio to start because we couldn't pick one salsa. We are always looking for a good spot to go to before the movies so this will definitely be on the list moving forward. The atmosphere is casual, great decor and friendly staff. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

At first glance they give me Rocco Taco vibe but EVERYTHING is soooo much better. We went during brunch and the table side guacamole is amazing. They have bottomless mimosas for about $18 which is so worth it and our server was top notch. Usually I'm a little annoyed when the bottle isn't brought to the table because you'll have to wait for another one when your cup is empty but he keep them coming. I tried the spicy pork belly tacos in the lettuce wrap and they didn't disappoint. The place is kid friendly and the outside seating was like a chef kiss to the meal. I definitely recommend and will be back to try more of the food from the menu. read more

This Mexican restaurant is great! We headed over for taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint. We started with salsa and guacamole, which is made table side. For dinner we ordered the tacos and each one was more flavorful then the next. I highly suggest the brisket. They also offer a lettuce taco if you are looking to save some calories. The atmosphere is fun. I loved all the chandeliers and skulls around the restaurant. If you're in Mizner definitely check this place out. Can't wait for my next visit. read more
