Calaveras is a very popular, attractive Mexican restaurant, nicely located in a bustling area of town right by the waterway. I get it - I just didn't think the actual food and drink items we happened to try were up to snuff. I ordered a barbacoa burrito, and if you know me, I can wolf a burrito down all day, every day. Well, this one was kind of stingy with the meat, and heavy-handed with the cheese and sauce. I rarely dock points for something having too much cheese, but this burrito was just....ponderous. My cocktail didn't even fare that well. I ordered a frozen cocktail that was pretty much supposed to be a nice simple blend of mezcal and mango. Should be delicious, right? Wow, if this wasn't one of the worst cocktails I've ever ordered at a restaurant. To me at least, it tasted like sweet bug spray and I'm not even joking. I love mezcal and I love mango. I've had them combined. I know what they taste like. I would actually have to try hard in order to make mezcal and mango taste that bad, so my guess here is that they either used a mezcal of poor quality, some kind of fake mango syrup or extract, or both. While my burrito was at least passable, that cocktail was a real slog. Based on that I don't have a great deal of confidence in the other cocktails either. This is a cool place, but I think it needs to step up its execution. read more

Great location, right next to the water. This place is very festive and clean, their decoration is quite unique. The staff is great, can't complain about their customer service. The reason why I am giving this place a four star is their food. I think it's a little overpriced for the quality you get. They provide pretty average Mexican-American food. I ordered chorizo and carne asada tacos, they were alright. My friend ordered a wet barbacoa burrito and he really liked it. Their guacamole is freshly made at the table. Their drinks are pretty good. I tried the blood orange and guava margarita, I enjoyed both of them. Definitely a great place for happy hour, they have $2 tacos. read more

Looking for some good Mexican food, we luckily found this spot for dinner. Parking is a little rough if you don't want to do valet or pay for the garage since there aren't many street spots available. For a Saturday it wasn't too crowded. They have tons of indoor and outdoor tables. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. Our server was very friendly and service was quick too. We started with the Tableside Guacamole and made sure to ask for extra jalapenos. It was delicious and super fresh, but we should have asked to add even more spice to it. So if you like spicy, make sure you tell them. I got the Strawberry Basil Margarita to drink. The flavor was good, but it tasted a little watered down for the price. For my entree I went with the Enchiladas de Pollo. Such a good choice! The enchiladas were amazing with salsa verde and a nice layer of melted cheese on top. The pink beans that came with it were so rich as well with a smoky pork flavor. I was most impressed with my meal. So glad we found a delicious Mexican restaurant in the area. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. read more

Calaveras Cantina - Strawberry Basil Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

We were in Jupiter for 3 nights. We went to Calaveres 3 nights in a row even though there were many choices around us. The food was amazing, but even better the service was! The first night we had Jessica M. and Thelma was our server tonight and last night. The prices are very reasonable and their bottled salsa...OMG! Sweet, a little spicy and a little chipotle. It's very clear that Management does an AMAZING job! Everything trickles from the top. Just like John Maxwell's Law of The Lid states. Look it up, it will help your business if you have one! Way to go Calaveres! read more

The ambiance is nice. We sat outside. They do not allow reservations only 30 minute precall. Our server, Ness, was really nice & helpful (her recommendations were great). We had guacamole, salsa & brisket nachos, for appetizers. The nachos were good, the salsa & guacamole were average. My sister-in-law had the blood orange margarita (it was PHENOMENAL)! For entrees we had, combo (steak & shrimp) fajitas, brisket burrito, steak burrito, carne asada tacos, chicken quesadillas & ground beef tacos for kids. The shrimp for the fajitas were overcooked & my daughter said the carne asada tacos, which only came with 2 tacos, were small (street size) & salty, the brisket was good but also salty. The chicken quesadilla was really good. Portions are small for the price (they are overpriced). We also had the churros which we didn't like, the oil didn't taste fresh & they were a bit undercooked with not much flavor. There's nothing really special about this place that would bring me back. 6 adults & 1 child, the tab, not including tip, was $200. Sadly, we drove an hour to try this place & I doubt we'll return. Unfortunately, I would not recommend. read more

Great place with an amazing view on the water! The food is great! The salsa trio was great and the chip paired well with the ceviche! The wet burrito was a hit too! The tequila was great minus one so I would call that an overall success! None of this would have been possible without our amazing server Mitchell! He was a great source of in knowledge of the restaurant! read more

1st off..... Tyler was arguably the best waiter I've ever had. Top notch service through and through. Thank you! Food was incredible. Go on a Monday so your money goes further on some of the best margaritas around! Can't really go wrong with anything in the menu. Ceviche is fresh and the perfect mix of ingredients that don't weigh you down and the wet burrito with some of their house hot sauce will leave you full and happy. Enjoy. read more

Always a great time with awesome food and service. The ambience of the place is very unique and well designed. Their sister Resturant, VooDoo Bayou is also well a great place. Recommend both highly read more

One of our favorite places to go for a yummy Mexican meal. The margaritas are fabulous and you can't go wrong with the burritos or tacos. We've been there 10-12 times and the service and food have always been wonderful! read more

The tacos at Taco Bell are tastier for a quarter of the price. The taco "meal" was two small tacos with two bites of meat and a spoonful of cheese in each and that's it. The meal included rice and beans. about three bites each... The rice was like uncle Ben's and the beans tasted like they were from a can. $20 wasted. i'll opt for $5 at Taco Bell next time read more

Good place for "trendy" Mexican. Nice outdoor seating, tasty tacos, and fun cocktails.

I've been here a few times. Mainly because there are not that many Mexican restaurants in the Jupiter area. The decor is very nice and the guacamole here is very good. My only issue is that it is pretty costly to drink here. Unfortunately they don't really have any late-night happy hour specials. Their frozen margaritas are $12 and not very flavorful. We paid $92 for 1 guacamole, 2 beers, 2 margaritas, 1 tequila shot, 1 bean & 1 side of rice. Pretty pricey if you ask me. read more

Didn't know this place existed and it was right in my neck of the woods. Restaurant is located on the corner in the HarbourSide Place plaza. Theres very limited side parking on the streets but there's a parking garage within the Wyndham Grand Hotel. The atmosphere of this place is very intriguing with sugar skulls and decor from day of the dead. Our waiter was super friendly, always smiling and not too bad on the eyes. Now onto important decisions...what to eat..what to eat! We started off with fresh guacamole that was prepared via table...very entertaining. I made sure that our table ordered different meals so we can try a bit of everything. I ordered the 2 taco specials with carne asada (grilled steak) with rice and beans. The steak was very well seasoned with just enough char to add flavor, the corn tortilla tacos was loaded with lettuce and cheese-just how I like it. There was extra hot sauce on side which blended well with the tacos. I ate BOTH taco..it was that good! Our waiter kept dropping by to check up on us making sure our meal was superb. I would definitely come back to try other specials...or just to have drinks with the girls..the drink specials looked impressive and the guys aren't to bad on the eyes! read more

Alex was fantastic. A true asset to your business. Food was elite as always. Favorite spot in the area.

Our fist night in Juno we were starving. We ordered take out from here. The food was great. I had the shrimp and calamari Diablo (spicy and delicious) my husband had the wet carnita burrito. I would have easily given them a four stars (fives are rare from me) but I ordered the carnitas (pork) wet burrito and we got the beef. I also ordered two orders of churros and got two orders of nacho chips, which BTW, were yummy, but I missed dessert . read more

We had a very nice meal. The guacamole is made at the table and very fresh. The tacos are a bit small but I didn't mind because the guac is so huge and filling. They will give you unlimited chips too. Jess M. was fabulous! read more

Decided to try 'Taco Tuesday' w/ my brother & sister-in-law. Their margaritas were perfectly made w/ ice cubes & not chipped ice which rapidly melts & 'waters down' the drink. I had the Modelo Negra draft ($5) which is always excellent! My fish tacos ($3/taco) in the hard shell was not so great as the 'shell' was so hard it shattered on the first bite. The fish had a greasy smell like too much Pam & was overcooked. The chips & salsa were very good. Oh, the waitress was friendly & 'upbeat'. Since we live close-by, we'll probably return. read more

Alex was amazing! Great service, food, and ambiance. I highly recommend, especially for their margaritas and tacos!

We moved here a year ago and found this wonderful place. We ha e been coming now for a good 10 months. Tonight we came and we had Ness as our server and she was wonderful. She is very attentive but not to the point of overly attentive. She made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The Brisket Quesadilla is outstanding along with the pork belly taco's. I highly recommend Calaveras and when you come ask to be seated in Ness's section. read more

Do NOT sit at table 61. My below review still stands, but the owner/manager should really consider removing table 61. Perhaps they haven't sat there, but it is extremely unappetizing! We are Florida locals and typically avoid the main tourist paths. But...our first Friday night visit was great. We ordered ceviche, drinks, and tableside guacamole from happy hour menu and then carne asada fajitas for dinner. All were generous portions and very well prepared. Our server, Cheryle was extremely accommodating, even though it was a packed house, she checked back often, and was thinking ahead of us for all the little things, extra utensils, second set of clean plates, water. It was good food and great service. We will be back read more

My friend and I came here for lunch. It was the first time for both of us, so we had no expectations. I like the outdoor seating, and on this day, we had a cool breeze off the water. Not much traffic on this back street so it was quiet and peaceful. Our waitress was excellent. She gave us plenty of time to talk and socialize and came back often to be sure we didn't need anything. She was pleasant and professional. Since it was a Tuesday, we ordered the $2 Taco, for Taco Tuesday. We both chose shrimp tacos, which cost more on other days of the week. Some restaurants charge extra for shrimp taco, even if there is a special offer. The Tacos were delicious and two were more than enough food with a side. I ordered the small side salad which was packed with flavor. It had some sunflower seeds and chic peas, and a cilantro, lime dressing. Tacos and salad were delicious and full of flavor. My friend order the same two shrimp tacos, and a side of black beans. She was equally as happy with her meal. We both ordered a decafe coffee which was strong mexican coffee, so we worried it would be bitter. It was actually delicious and mild tasting and not bitter at all, even without sugar. I do recommend that you try this place, and if the weather is nice, sit outside! read more

The decor here is great! They even have a guac cart, freshly made at your table. The tacos can be flour or corn. We tried the fish and smoked brisket. The fish taco had a nice flavor, but felt it was missing something that I couldn't pinpoint. The smoked brisket had a great flavor, a generous portion even. It came with beans and rice on the side. (Not refried beans). While the chips are corn, they're fried in a shared frier, so they're not gluten-free for those with Celiac. The drink my fiancé had was called the furiosa. It's a mezcal tequila drink, smoky and spicy balanced with passion fruit, honey, and lime. It's a unique drink that is worth a try, and it was not particularly boozy tasting or too smoky. Outside seating is available, inside had a Mexican twist with tiles, photos, and sugar skulls. Prices are average for a quality taco. Nice place for friends to meet up or to go with your partner. read more

WOW.. I brought my friends here who are visiting from out of town. They ordered a chicken nacho plate and Cali cobia tacos The nachos were ok but the Cali Cobia fish tacos were tiny... VERY tiny..! 4 bites and they were gone for $18...!!! I asked the waitress about the tiny size and she said that is standard size for tacos.... YIKES I have had fish tacos here and they were 3 times larger. My carne asada burrito was good and full size. I shared it with my friend who ordered the Cali Fish Tacos so he didn't leave hungry..!!! read more

Best guacamole ever! These guys prepare a huge tableside guacamole and it is freaking delicious! Fajita- carne asada and casa Margarita was amazing too. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

We bought the sauce and the "Guacamoledor" tshirt :-) read more
