    Chilaquiles
    Ari J.

    You push through the door at Danny Boys like a man trying to outrun the weather. Not the kind that falls from the sky, the kind that follows you. The kind that knows your name. The joint is lit in that half shadow where the neon hums like it's got secrets. A couple of regulars look up just long enough to decide you're nobody worth remembering. The coffee smells burnt in a comforting way. The air tastes like stories that never made it to paper. You slide into a booth that's seen better men make worse decisions. The server doesn't ask what you want. She just gives you a look that says she's seen your type before and brings the chilaquiles like she's placing evidence on the table. The chips are sharp enough to cut through whatever you've been carrying. The salsa hits with that slow burn that doesn't announce itself, just settles in and lets you know it's not leaving. The eggs fold over the whole thing like a blanket thrown over a crime scene. You take a bite and the world narrows to crunch, heat, and the faint hum of a refrigerator that's older than your regrets. For a moment, the chase stops. The ghosts sit down. The hostile land softens around the edges. Danny Boys doesn't save you. It just gives you a place to breathe between chapters. And sometimes that's all this drifter needs.

    By far my favorite and most authentic Mexican brunch I've had! I get the chicken sopes and they're amazing. I ventured out this time and got a taco de vapor de papas. It was soft, juicy, and flavorful! It paired well with the horchata that is rich! This time I went with a larger party, which was a little bit of a longer wait. They do have limited seating for parties more than 4, but it's worth the wait! They are fast with taking your order once you are seated, and bring out the food fast!

    This little shop has been on my list for quite awhile. I'm glad I checked it off my list. Danny Boy's is located in a strip mall with Manolo's, a laundry mat, karaoke bar, and Denny's. There are a few tables inside for a sit down meal, or order to go. This morning the café was filled with both types of customers. We decided to eat in. The hostess was very welcoming and offered us menus and water to drink. The vibe here is casual and warm. The regulars and newcomers were shown the same friendly hellos, thank yous, and goodbyes. Our two breakfast burritos came out piping hot, and very tasty, too! I asked for the hot sauces to try, both red and green. They were both good. Although I thought I was going to place another order to go, I was full after eating only half of my burrito. We left satisfied and plan on coming back.

    Came across Danny Boy's as we were looking for a torta spot and decided to try them out. We came by Saturday around 12 pm and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The space itself isn't that big with 6-7 tables. We shared the special breakfast torta (asked for it to be made vegetarian) for $14.95 as well as a mini potato and egg breakfast burrito for $5.95. Both the torta and the mini burrito were good but not amazing. My main complaint is that both were on the bland side, perhaps because they usually rely on meat to provide flavor. We also didn't realize that the torta came with a side of potatoes, so between the potatoes in the torta itself, on the side, and in the breakfast burrito, it was a LOT of potatoes. Portions were big and it was enough food for both of us.

    I love their chilaquiles. Lots of flavor, crispy chips even in the sauce, fresh ingredients. We always eat in, and the tables are always clean. Staff is friendly, too!

    Tacos al vapor
    Crystal C.

    I love this place for its tacos de vapor, but I've had other dishes and they have all been delicious. Real authentic food like my grandmother made, their tacos are the reason to go there. I highly suggest going early enough before the run out, place is small so definitely not for a large party but somewhere to go when your having Mexican antojitos.

    Birria Chilaquiles
    Monica L.

    Hands down the best birria chilaquiles I've ever had! The perfect balance of crispy tortilla chips soaked in rich, flavorful birria consommé, topped with tender, juicy birria, melted cheese, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite was packed with bold, savory goodness! The portion was generous, and the flavors were spot on--smoky, spicy, and deeply satisfying. The consommé on the side was an amazing touch, perfect for dipping or just sipping on its own. The service was fast and friendly, and the vibe of the place made the whole experience even better. If you're a fan of chilaquiles and birria, this is an absolute must-try. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    This place serves some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had! I also tried the torta and carne asada -- everything was absolutely perfect. The ambiance is great, and the servers are friendly and helpful, offering recommendations if you're new to the spot. The place is a bit small, but it's clean and cozy. Definitely worth a visit!

    This place has been on my radar for a minute. Finally I was able to come Saturday morning. The hubby loved the chilaquiles. Nice crunchy tortilla full of flavor. There serving sizes are large enough to share. I wanted to taste a mini machaca burrito it was NOT mini. There mini is regular size. Machaca was full of flavor and lots of cheese. My tacos al vapor were just like the ones across the border. Fantasic!! I got beef and potato maybe just a lil more potato then beef, but nevertheless still good. Chorizo and bean taco was just as delicious. I enjoyed these tacos ill have to see when I can make it out again. They close early so try to make it out.

    We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.

Our waiter said he would ask if the started prepping for lunch yet to do pizza and luckily they were ready and agreed. My husband and I still ordered brunch. The food was very good! It didn't take very long either. I liked the inside decor. Previously my party was outside so it was nice to look around and see the furnishings and flags up. I will return! Thank you!!

    I've been here in the past for staff parties where they have preset buffet menu and a no host bar…read moreLet me tell you for those the spread is real. There's so many different salads and appetizers and entrées. It is absolutely exciting. Today I went for a staff happy hour. We are brought three different venues. One was a food menu. One was a cocktail menu and the Third was a happy hour menu. It was a little overwhelming to have to figure out what I wanted. I settled on a Carne Asada quesadilla. It was large and it was quite tasty. I wish I had asked him if they had different salsa because the salsa had no flavor to it. The cocktail menu was very streamlined, but all the cocktails had a house liquor in it, and I didn't want to get up and see what they be had behind the bar so I stuck with soda water Inside there's a long bar and ample seating. Outside, there's also tons of seating and bar seats. Service is fabulous Solid place to happy hour if you live in the area
