    Ooohh, I really like this actually. I was expecting a more generic sports bar, and I'm glad it's…read morenot that. I mean, people totally still watch sports here of course and so do I, but what I mean is the space is bright and expansive, the location is lovely, and the monitors are ginormous. More importantly, the food and drinks are at least somewhat interesting. Not even sure if I've had hard kombucha before. I probably have, but I don't remember. These are largely light, sour, and fruity, which are the sort of alcohol I've been addicted to lately anyways. And they have cool fruits like dragonfruit and lychee. The bowls and fruit salad were what originally caught my eye. I was not feeling a berry salad, so I got a carne asada bowl, and it was delicious. The steak was soft and peppery, and the ratio of ingredients was well balanced. The hummus, kale, and salsas made for a fun Mediterranean flavor, and the basmati rice was fluffy and consistent. It's sad, but it's hard to find an Asian restaurant in town that makes a rice bowl this good.

    Second time at Novo and my family and I are planning when to come back or what event to host here!…read more The servers are friendly and attentive and the overall service has been very good. The ambiance is relaxed, everyone is there enjoying their time and food/drinks. The drinks are my highlight, they taste so good and they are strong. The food was also surprisingly very delicious. I dont know what I was expecting but even the chicken nuggets were good. My son is already asking when we can go back to Novo for his yummy food.

She highly recommended the surf and turf burrito and shrimp tacos. Our group got fish's tacos, Taco Gobernador and caldo mixto. Everything was delicious and very generous portions. We were enjoying our food so much I didn't get picture of the tacos and soup. My favorite part was an pepino aguas frescas I've been craving and found here!! Service was fast and very friendly. Looks like it would feel like a club at night and weekends!

    I am happy to say that this might be my new go to spot when I'm craving tacos! I have been on the…read morelookout for a good, reliable taco place in San Diego, and, after many flops, Taqueria Tiajuana has definitely entered the list for top contender. Their tacos are very flavorful and good size for the price you pay! These are definitely the closest I've had, taste-wise, to Tijuana style tacos here in SD. I would definitely recommend coming here, especially if you want to save yourself from the drive to Tijuana & the border crossing time back. My top recommendations from here would be the Taco de Cabeza and Mulita de Adobada! On a Thursday evening, this place had a good crowd, which suggested that it would be good! They have plenty of indoor seating, along with some limited patio seating. The parking lot was a good size given how full the place was! Aside from tacos, they have a great variety of Aguas frescas and beer! They also sell different Mexican snacks, as well as desserts! During this visit I only tried the menu for Taqueria Tiajuana, but I'll definitely be back to give El Cacho (seafood) a try!

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!

There's cool Mexican art on the wall and table was clean and wiped down. There's not too big of a menu and what they have is made really well. The chips and salsa were good. I like how light the chips are. The free salsa had more and better flavor than the red, but both are good. I got El Bàsico burrito and it was like how I used to eat it growing up when my parents would make it for me. I asked for a side of the poblano salsa they use for the chilaquiles and it was so good! It became with a side of plain crema. I left full and happy! My wife got a Quesataco with a side of frijoles and papas. The taco had a lot of meat and was super tasty. They gave you a small side of consume and that didn't disappoint either. The papas didn't have too much flavor but were nice and crispy. The beans were my wife's favorite. They have a slight kick and bomb flavor. I'm glad to have this place in our neighborhood and I look forward to coming back again!
