    It's a cute place on the outside and inside. The staff is also really nice and everyone had a friendly vibe. The flautas were pretty tasty I enjoyed the meat on the inside and the toppings it included. The pozole had good flavor but the meat was a bit undercooked, not raw, just too tough to chew. Good drinks here too, they have a great margarita list!

    The service is good The food was GREAT omg I would def come back and highly recommend The music is a home vibe U eat and dance Restrooms nice n clean it's a super chill spot

    Asada, Tinga, Al Pastor

    Great!! We ordered the following tacos: Tinga, chicken, asada, and al pastor. If you're in between the tinga or chicken, get the chicken , it was so good. The asada had a bit of spice to it and was also 10/10. If you're heading home from the mountains this is a perfect stop. We will be back.

    Happy to have found Kalaka's as a new resident to Evergreen! We have Hugh expectation's coming from Texas. Ha! We've been 3x now and have enjoyed each experience. Food is great and flavorful! Fish tacos have been my favorite so far. The street style tacos are just as good! My fav is their fun specialty drinks like Like the Love Potion! You won't disappointed! Cute love good vibes friendly staff too!

    First - Yelp is how we find most every new place we visit. This time was no different. It's always nice to have a fun new place to visit and see a bit of what you can expect. We ordered drinks and shared their green chili con queso. I had a spicy marg and he had a glass of their Private Barrel Maestro Dobel neat. The queso had a great flavor - the green chili was distinct and paired well with the queso. One request - pair back the chips (also good, fresh and not too crispy) or ramp up the queso portion. The portions didn't match. My spicy marg was legit spicy - so spicy it overpowered anything I was eating. Loved it but would drink it away from food. For our mains: green chili enchilada and three tacos for him (fish, chicken and veggie). Both were good but not great. My dish asks you to choose your meat: chicken tinga or cheese. For me, neither of these options were ideal. The chicken tinga was spicy alone and didn't balance well with the green chili. It overpowered it for me. His tacos were good but he shared that the oil used to fry his fish was old. Easy fix, if someone from management is reading. Super cute place. We loved the metal ceilings, light fixtures and stone throughout. I can see date night near their cozy fireplace or back at their bar again. I'll know what not to pair together next time too.

    I don't get up to this end of town very often, but when I do this is my favorite place to stop for brunch - especially since the patio is dog friendly and I almost always have a dog or two along for the ride. I'm a big fan of the carrot margarita - I know, it sounds weird, but it's super yummy. Last time I was in I had the breakfast tacos, and the friend dining with me had the brunch skillet. Both of us were very happy with our choices. On this most recent visit, service could have been better, but I'll definitely be back for the margaritas.

    Amazing food and service. Fish Taco, Steak Asada Taco, Shrimp Taco and Chorizo Taco were all flavorful and fresh. Best taste: Fish. Nojito was well mixed and tasty. Nice Fresh Salsa and chips. Only thing that would have made it better would be if the chips were still warm.

    Friends recommended Kalaka and I see why. Wow. Was impressed by the unique food and drink offerings. Chicken Tinga taco was SO GOOD! Delicious and flavoTrashcan nachos and guac filled us up so we will have to return to try more items! Carrot margarita was different and delicious. Service was friendly, accommodating and attentive. Definite gem!

    We actually had drinks at the bar with guacamole and ordered dinner as take out. Everything was very good and packed appropriately. Very comfortable atmosphere.

    Beet margarita

    We were looking for a Mexican brunch on the way down from the mountains, we found this place. Lots of brunch options, but I went for the trashcan chilaquiles with an over medium egg. It was extremely tasty with a great sauce and presentation. They even had carrot and beet margaritas, delicious. The interior was very unique and well kept - kinda cool gothic arches and day of the dead vibe. Our server was great too, irrespective of him being new. It was a bit of a wait to get the food out, but nothing too painful. I would recommend giving it a try, and definitely if you are the same situation we were.

    Cool vibe good people. Please note all we had was a drink and chips and salsa....but the chips were delicious. We will be back for a full dinner sometime and I will update my review.

    pretty decent tacos and interesting vegetable and fruit margaritas! The tacos were spicy and filling so the high price of $5 per taco was semi worth it. Their margaritas were interesting - friends ordered watermelon, spicy coconut, and carrot and they were decently well received. Pretty empty on a weekend.

    The food was good, the service was amazing and the ambiance was cozy. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Wonderful food at a cute mtn side Mexican restaurant, wonderful and accommodating service too!…read more All tables were served chips and a bean dip and bowl of delicious and flavorful salsa. It was a fantastic way to start off. The appetizer menu had an interesting potato skins option and we got half chicken and half chorizo and both types were so good! We nibbled happily on them while we waited for our food. I ordered mixed fajitas and found the portion generous and the quality of meat to be lovely. It was tender and the veggies were also abundant. It was well seasoned and well cooked not too grilly/burned. The sides it came with were amazing and generous portions too. I got refried beans, rice and the usual fajita mix ins. I also got some cilantro and limes on the side and some of their salsa verde. The salsa verde was spicy and spectacular. My husband got the enchiladas combo trio thing and wow the plate was huge and beautifully plated. He enjoyed the creamy and green one most if I recall. Service was so helpful and kind the entire time and we had leftovers to take home. We have been here a couple times for fun and would definitely come again.

Everything about our experience was okay. On a holiday, either places are busy or dead. This time they were busy! No problem, we waited by the creek until our table was ready. Inside they have a pool table, neon signs, and string lights. All signs of a good dive bar. Beer and wings was the move. When is it not for someone like me?! $18 for a dozen wings. I ordered the spicy buffalo garlic. They weren't spicy and weren't all that garlicky. Sauce was okay, didn't taste homemade. It was average, but you know what that's okay. I was listening to a good band and looking out at the creek! This place has been kicking for decades in the heart of Evergreen and I hope they don't go anywhere. Would I drive out of my way? Definitely not. But it doesn't mean that I wouldn't stop in again if I were in the area. Like it or not, Cactus Jack's is the epitome of a small mountain town establishment!
