I spontaneously came in for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't busy. I was enticed in by the sign that featured their lunch specials: entrees that include a drink. After a short wait at the front of the restaurant, I was seated in a booth. The restaurant is quite large. There were other guests there but it was not crowded. The TV screens throughout the restaurant continuously play club music. I chose the chicken fajitas. The fajitas came out very hot. I found the dish overall to be quite salty. For my drink, I chose a Pepsi. The server was helpful and helped me out when I asked for a refill. This restaurant has a bathroom and it's clean. I went back after my meal to wash my hands. Overall, my experience at the restaurant was ok, mostly because of the food.
Was looking for a full bar place local to us, but a little away from home, and came across this location driving around. The food tastes delicious, very flavorful and presentation is nice ;) they have some good stock on alcohol also. Just wish our server smiled a little more, then we would have given a five. But will come back for sure . Parking can be a headache but if you get lucky you'll find a spot or just walk !
Greeted and seated. Came here to eat Mexican food. This place delivered. Ordered drinks and grub. Parking can be tough, all is pending on when you come here to eat. Overall good ambiance. Nice decor and good vibe. Good food and drinks.
Sunday Buffet for $29.99 from 9 to 2 today. Girls got together at 12. Half dining area was filled. We started to have waffles, strawberry pancakes, chocolate crepes, many mexican cuisines including tacos, enchiladas, crab salad, shrimp salad, sausages, potatoes, beans, rice, and fried chickens...and fruits, flan, and more desserts. Soooo good! Very organized, fresh, yummy...everything. I got the magarita w lime for $12.95 and other girls got mimosa drinks. I saw a large party of people had b day more than 4 times during Sunday Brunch. That is why I felt party vibes all the way. Whohoo!!! Fun! Great vibes, great foods, Only one thing for me to remember that they charge 3% extra for credit card payment. I will definitely come again for Sunday Buffet.
Dont use their doordash service. Was charged and never got the food. Recieved message that food was ready, went to Kalaveras and they were closing , said they never got the order but yet someone marked it as ready for pick up. Now im short 80 dollars and never got the food. Called next day to fix issue and get refund and lady on the phone was super rude and hung up on me. Never going to this restaurant again. Both doordash and Kalaveras has refused to refund me my money. They both are blaming each other and no one wants to take responsibility. Doordash is saying Kalaveras put that i picked up the order, however when i arrived they were closing and said they never got an order. Kalaveras is saying they dont see an order on their end . No one wants to take responsibility, however someone took my money without providing the food. Bunch of scammers.
My wife found a new Taco place. So we tried for lunch on Taco Tuesday. The price is $1.99 per Taco. The size is tiny. They use white corn tortillas even chips. I like yellow corn tortillas. But the flavors of my crunchy tocos were really good. My wife tested 2 asada soft tacos. She liked the Taco bar, she took lots of toppings including salsa, jalapeño pickles, carrot pickles, cucumbers, chopped onions, lots of chopped cilantro. Unlimited.... First, soft Taco was good, tiny size. We both liked the spicy salsa. Second, my crunchy Taco plate, only 2 tacos w rice, beans. I loved the Spanish rice. It was great. I can come for the rice only. Third, my wife's pick, 3 empanada plate w salsa, sour cream, spicy mayo. She liked all of them. The lighting is so dark. The music is not too loud. The vibes are casual, vivid colored Mexican style. They have happy hour from 2 Mon to Fri. $10 for margaritas, some appetizers are 7.50. I noticed the parking was not the private, 2 hours limit on the public parking in the back of building. My wife said, they charge 3% surcharge for cedit card payment. We will be back for the margaritas, tacos....
Love coming here. Luisito is always so nice and his service is excellent. The margarita flight is delicious
I went on Valentines day with my boyfriend, and we had a reservation for 630 pm. It did not take long for us to get seated. The hostess who seated us at that time was really nice, and I was very understanding that it was a busy night for them and they were all trying their best to get everyone seated as much as possible. The ambiance was nice and vibrant. Our server, I forgot his name, but he was very nice and funny. He gave my boyfriend and me great recommendations. While ordering, he recommended this pink girly alcoholic drink to me, which tasted like strawberries, and it was delicious! While waiting for our food, we were eating chips and salsa that beforehand, and it was really good, so we had to get a second round of it. My boyfriend ordered this blood orange alcoholic drink, and he loved it so much that he got two as well! As for food i ordered the blackened rib eye steak, and it was DELICIOUS. I got medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The side dishes that came with it were very good. My boyfriend ordered the Parillada, which comes with shrimp, chicken, beef, sausage, and a few side dishes as well, like rice, beans, veggies, salsa, and tortillas (the tortillas were nice and warm). The shrimp on that plate was my favorite. Both alcoholic drinks and the entrees were delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. Overall, the place was nice and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. I would come back here again.
We were in Downey for an event and decided to stop by Kalaveras Bellflower for a drink and bite to eat afterwards. There is a good sized parking lot located behind the restaurant. The ceilings are black, and it is lit a little dimly including some black lights which really makes the neon signs and bright paint colors inside pop. There are all booths towards the rear entrance, and a mix of tables and booths in front. We sat at a table in front, and over ten minutes had gone by and none of the servers had acknowledged us yet. They just kept walking by, and I finally had to flag somebody down to get menus. We started out with a few cocktails and chips and salsa with an order of guacamole. The chips were good, and the salsa had a smoky flavor. The guacamole was good, but it had large cubes of avocado in it. We both prefer the avocado mashed up well, and we wouldn't order the guacamole again. I had the Jarrito Loko cocktail (Lunazul Reposado, lime, agave, watermelon puree, Jarrito's soda, $14). It comes in a nicely decorated mug with a partial Tajin rim. It had a great watermelon flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and reminded me of a watermelon Jolly Rancher. It was very refreshing, and I didn't notice any carbonation from the soda. It was the best watermelon margarita I've had in a while. She had the El Chamuco cocktail (Los Javis Mezcal, lime, agave, passion fruit, mango puree, $15). - It was mezcal forward and very smoky to me, but the passion fruit and mango flavors help tone it down a bit. She really enjoyed it. I originally wanted to order the Enchiladas de Camaron, but the server informed me that they were out of shrimp. Instead, I ordered the Carne Asada plate ($28). The cut of meat was large and marinated. It had good flavor and was filling. It came with the same chunky guacamole. She wasn't very hungry, and just had the Taquitos Doridos appetizer ($7.99) which she enjoyed. So, why only three stars? We weren't aware, but Sunday evening is Banda Night with live music. After we got our drinks and chips and guacamole, the band started playing and it was insanely loud. Ordering our entrees was almost impossible, and I had to scream at the server so she could hear me. At this point, all we could do is sit and wait for our food because conversation was not an option. We couldn't wait to finish eating and leave. Service got off to a slow start initially, but was ok overall. We enjoyed the food and drinks, but the extremely loud music killed the dinner for us.
I was staying with friends nearby and it was taco Tuesday. Tip: get two tacos at a time for more meat. They skimped on the meat on my first plate of six to make it fit the plate I guess. The tacos were good, I liked the carnitas better than the asada. All of the salsas went great with the tacos. It's nice having the toppings bar for you to customize.
I took my best friend to eat here for her birthday on June 30th, 2026. Our server Juan was amazing!! We really liked him. We both got portabello mushroom tacos and it was probably the best thing we ate! I recommend those. I also got a strawberry margarita and it was really yummy. Then we decided to get the Cadillac margarita flight but that was a letdown. It was not that great! My friend didn't like them at all. She ended up asking for a strawberry margarita. Apart from the mushroom tacos we got a platter that comes with a nopal, chorizo, carne asada, pollo asado, avocado, and some jalapenos asados too. The plate comes with salsa and tortillas. That platter was descent but it would have been better if it came in a molcajete like other restaurants. I have to say that I've had better Mexican food at other places. I would give them a 6.5 on that platter but a 10 on the mushroom tacos. The drinks are more of a 5 because in my honest opinion they lack alcohol. I usually get drunk easily and they didn't do anything to get me even buzz. I don't drink often so when I do it gets to me quick. Also, we had an issue with Maribel. Not sure if she's a manager or what but she came up to me to see if I needed anything else while my friend had stepped away. So I asked if they did anything for birthdays and she said yeah do you want a churro or flan for your friend. I said churro, but later on because we are still eating. She said ok and walked away. The churro never came but I did ask her again after I paid for the food. I said excuse me, how about that churro and pointed to my friend since it was her bday. Maribel went to Juan and told him. We waited a while for that churro that never came. Maribel seemed to be stressed out since it was the day that Mexico played a soccer game but honestly they weren't even busy! We went to have lunch around 2pm and the game didn't start till 7pm. There was no reason for her to be so stressed if the restaurant was rather empty! Also, please take a light jacket or sweater when you go there because that AC is on blast and it's cold!!! It's really dark inside (I had never been there before). They have some cool paintings on the wall. Thank you Juan our server you were pretty awesome! Also, AC on blast makes food get cold quick! I really wish Maribel would have been more attentive and not rude! I wanted my friend to feel special and have her churro just like we did a few years ago at vaca brunch in Baldwin Park. We would rather go back to Vaca Bruch .
Kalaveras is a popular Mexican chain in SoCal. This location is sitting next to the Steelcraft in Bellflower. The inside is a lot larger than I expected! I came on a random weekday lunch and it was pretty quiet. The service was a little lacking, as they didn't come refill water often. The food was quite good though! I really enjoyed my Fajitas plate. However, the Asada Fries were pretty bland. I wish the added some sort of sauce on it. Overall, Kalaveras is just a solid Mexican chain.

We came here on a Tuesday night to celebrate and had no wait you be seated. The place can be busy on the weekends so we thought it would be a good time. We were seated outside by request and were able to enjoy the ambiance without the music being too loud to talk to each other. Service was very friendly and very helpful, offering us recommendations for drinks (shout-out to Eduardo). I ordered the ceviche and my girlfriend got the quesadilla biria tacos, both of which were great. The portions were a good size and we were both left full with leftovers to spare. We ended with the flan, which was also great. Overall it was a good experience and we would come back again. read more

****Open For Indoor Dine-In!!**** So when one of my girlfriends said she wanted to go out for margaritas, I didn't hesitate to join her. I let her pick where she wanted to go. This is where we actually celebrated her birthday a few years ago. The parking lot was pretty packed for a Monday evening. Looked like my girlfriend found the perfect place to dine in on a Monday night. Yes, dine-in! It was definitely a full house and rightfully so! Of course, they had sanitizers ready on hand. There were plexiglass dividers between tables. Waitstaffs were all wearing their masks. We felt pretty safe. We started off with their "Monday Special", $25 for a pitcher of Margarita of our choice. We went with Chamoyada because we're both fans of sweet, tart, a tiny kick around the rims with mango bits. Highly recommend! Next we decided to share the Molcajete. This included marinated steak, juicy chicken breast, chorizo, nopales, onions, jalepeño queso fresco in a hot molten rock bowl. Creamy beans and cheese, rice, and corn tortillas were also included. We had leftovers to take home for breakfast, next morning. It did however, took more than 45 minutes, due to shortage of employees in the kitchen. We were surprisingly compensated by two delicious desserts. Crunchy and moist churro sandwich and Caramelized flan decorated with an orchid, both delish!! All in all, we had a great night. Hospitality was on point! read more

The service here sux. Just be prepared for that when u come. There is never just 1 server to help you, there are 10 dif ppl that come to your table. They aren't attentive at all. The dont anticipate needs and forget simple things, like refilling drinks. I've been here about 4 times since I live closeby. I'd only recomened this place for happy hour, nothing else. Food isn't good, drinks are expensive, not authentic Mexican food if thats what u want. They served my salad dry, no lime, no salad dressing, no fork. Nada. And then just walked away. Thats what I mean by inattentive, bad service. read more

Loved everything about this place! From the Selena picture, art and lighting. My first time here and let me tell you guys, the barbacoa plata was bomb.com! You'll be full and satisfied. Love the tortillas a Mano and the nachos. Delicious The coolest thing! The aesthetic! They have great music! Great vibes, great energy. Bad Bunny to Luis Miguel! Lol loved it!! I was low key dancing and Karaoke-ing at my booth with my peeps. Lastly, but most importantly! The amazing, service... specially my sweet waitress Melissa. More like her please. Her vibe and bubbly personality just made everything taste better. Nothing like delicious food and outstanding service. You guys will not be disappointed! Great place to hang with your girls or your boo thang. Thanks for having us! We were highly satisfied. We will be back! read more

Came here with my friends tonight. The vibes were very fun. We were singing to every song they played. However, the food wasn't the best. The carne asada tacos were alright. The drinks were presentable and cute but I also wasn't a fan of the chamoyada. The thing we like the most was the complimentary chips and salsa. read more

Our server Arly was Amazing! Please ask for him if you get a chance. We went for brunch on a weekday and were probably the first ones here. We ordered the huevos rancheros and the chilaquiles which aren't on the menu but he kindly remembered to offer. They give free chips and salsa and Arly even offered alternative spicier salsas. We also got the margarita flights which were delicious. Over all so happy we came will definitely be coming back. read more

I love anything that has sugar skulls or that reminds me of day of the dead. I came here this weekend with some friends on a double date and I really liked this place. Our server, Salma, was absolutely amazing! Very attentive and provided excellent customer service. I had the shrimp tacos and they were good. I also had the horchata drink and it was delicious. We were offered a new sandia drink and it was okay..I felt like the after taste was a burnt flavor. I'd like to return and try different food and drinks. Luckily, there's a kalaveras close to where I live. I need to check that one out too! read more

Great music and bright atmosphere however over hyped. I got two tacos and they were both cold. The tortillas weren't fully cooked. Also got two margarita pitchers, the first one was mostly juice and the second was just ice. Service was alright, employees were all crowded at the bar area and weren't checking in with our table much. Frankly, hard to grab their attention, couldn't order more drinks or food. read more
