    Chamoyrita and Mexican Candy shot Hibiscus
    Steff M.

    Went for Birthday lunch. Love the floral wall vibes. Our waitress Darlene was awesome, despite being only server our area she was attentive, welcoming and friendly. She and the bartender sung happy birthday totally made my day. I had the quessoBirira Tacos, Mexican candy shot (hibiscus), totally need that as a mixed drink loved it. And a chamoyrita blended. There was also chips, guacamole and chcirones for the table. Everything was flavorful and love when my hot food is hot. I also got the complimentary birthday ice cream which was a nice gesture.

    Carne asada w/beans & rice. Had good flavor & beans & rice tasted good!

    When we got there we waited a good while, maybe 10-15 min before drink order was taken. Then ordered appetizer & it came out 3 min before our meal. We had to Ask multiple times for refills that didn't get refilled. Water were not brought out when we had asked as our 1st drinks. Food was mediocre. Mole looked like paste, guacamole had no flavor, the barbacoa was super salty, they were serving their sodas from 2 liter bottles, not sure what that was about. The Chips tasted burnt. All in all I would not recommend this kalaveras as it did not seem like they were very organized or customer friendly. We have gone to the MoVal establishment & we have nothing but praise on that one. The only thing that was delicious was the flan, very creamy, Carmel tasted fresh & presentation was on point! Proceed with caution!

    This is my second visit and second review. I had hoped my first experience was a fluke but again I was not impressed and will not be going back. First of all the parking lot was almost completely full when I got there and only had 2 spots available. When I walked in I was expecting it to be busy with a wait because of the parking. Nope plenty of seating and was seated right away. My friend and I were meeting for our birthdays. While we were waiting we saw the birthday celebration which included blowing whistles, flashing strobe lights and a very large sombero. We quickly told the waitress we did not want that lol. The menu is small and everything was expensive. Guacamole was $14 tacos were $6-$8.50 each depending on what you got and only came with the taco, no sides. Margaritas were $18+ The food was ok. Nothing special, no extra flavorful or anything. When we were sitting and chatting a large band started setting up in the dining room. (Over 10 people in the band) when they started playing it was so loud we couldn't hear each other at all. I'm all for live music but I should still be able to hear the people sitting at my table or next to me. Even the tables around us were looking shocked at the sound level. We were glad that we had paid our check and could leave shortly after they started.

    Angie great was helpful and quick. My mom loves their Flan. I think $13 is a little much for flan but she likes how they make it.?Their ambiance has a cool vibe.

    It was ok Good service , the food ok. Not the tastiest. Probably wont go back. I tjink good for margaritas and chips and salsa. Maybe during happy hour or something. It's pretty dark bar Room type it was OK.

    Great food! The flavors pop and the overall cook was great. They have authentic Mexican 500ml Coca Cola to help wash down the spice. Their wings have a kick to them so be sure to get a Coke, . I enjoyed the sample platter and I look forward to returning.

    Came here for lunch today and this plate did not disappoint! The chicken and sauce were savory! The customer service was on point, very attentive. If you're in the mood for some good Mexican food in a hip atmosphere, check this place out!

    I've gone to Kalaveras in Long Beach but this was my first time in the Corona spot. A friend told me they had a different menu on the weekends but not sure. However, I really wanted their garbage burrito but this location didn't have it today (Sunday). Buffet is roughly $39 for adults and $19 for children. We ordered: Wet Klassic Burrito: 7/10 (I asked for Pastor and got Asada) Birria Tacos: 8/10 Green Enchiladas: 8/10 (needed more chicken) Staff/Server was perfect! Love the staff so much. Parking was full so had to do valet but they're complimentary!

    Went during happy hour and lived our server Edilia. She was great and so was the food and drinks. Loved the ambiance and will be back!

    Tostada Salad and carne asada taco
    Felipe M.

    Came here on Taco Tuesday. Such a great deal $1.99 each for street tacos stuffed to the brim with your choice of 8 different meats. There was also a side bar of toppings cilantro onions salsa etc. our server Darlene made our lunch even more enjoyable. Very courteous, great recommendations for our other table mates. Attentive making sure our chips were always hot and fresh. Our drinks never ran dry. Restaurant is super clean, music was appropriate but not too loud. The margaritas and cocktails looked great and were priced well, but we will have to come back to indulge since we had others stops to make. Overall just a nice relaxing way to spend our lunch time.

    This place exudes great energy the moment you walk in, thanks to the vibrant decor and upbeat music. The staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. The tacos were absolutely delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked and packed with rich, bold flavors. They also offer a great variety of tacos, and surprisingly, the sushi is quite impressive too!

    I've been to so many of these restaurants for their taco Tuesdays. They're all consistent. They all have good food and I love going during Halloween because they have spooky festive drinks. The service is always amazing It's consistent across the board I think I've been to about seven of these locations now and have always had excellent service. The restaurant is a cool vibe across all of them a fun decorative bar area right colors good music I've always had a good time.

    Thought I would give this place another chance since I was not real impressed the first time. Unfortunately this time was worse. My granddaughter and I went for taco Tuesday around noon. It wasn't that busy yet we waited and waited and waited for service. We ordered guacamole and queso. When that finally arrived we ordered our main course. I ordered one taco my granddaughter a burrito. Our drinks were never filled , we had to wave someone down to ask. Ordered a dessert they brought without silverware. Had to wait until our desert was cold to finally get silverware. All in all very frustrating . Not a great experience, certainly not relaxing or enjoyable. And BTW our lunch with tip was $95. Just not worth it. I won't go back!

Food and drinks were mid so when…read moreour friends wanted to come here for lunch, we were already hesitant but decided to come back to check it out again before posting a review. Came here with friends during lunch hour & got some items from the "lunch deals" section. For the lunch deals, we got the 2 chicken tacos, which comes with chips & salsa. There was a decent amount of chips and salsa and the tacos were a good size & had good flavors. 8/10 for the chicken tacos. My friend got the traditional wings (6 piece) lunch deal which comes with a side of fries & celery. The sizes of the wings look decent & she enjoyed the meal. Our party also got the steak tacos & steak nachos. This time, there was a decent amount of steak on the nachos and it paired perfectly with everything. The first time we came here and we got the nachos during our last visit, there was barely any steak on the nachos so I'm glad they corrected it and making it better. 8/10 for the nachos. Drinks: my group mainly got beer so they were all good & happy with it. I wanted a margarita flight and well, that was pretty disappointing. It was supposed to be 4 different flavors/drinks with tequila. But where was the tequila? I felt that they should've been upfront with it on the menu and called it a mocktail or something because when we didn't taste any tequila in it, we asked the waitress & she mentioned to us that there is only 1 shot of tequila for the whole flight...like what?! That flight cost $20 so you're telling me I'm basically buying $20 worth of juice since the tequila is non-existent?! That was truly disappointing to hear & even the waitress said she would never recommend the flight because of it and it wasn't fun to make. So do better Brass Tap, either add more tequila to your flight to make it actually worth $20 or just remove it all together from your menu. Deceiving & a total waste. 0/10 for the flight. Thankfully the waitress removed it from our bill without issue & got me the watermelon margarita to replace it. Much better and you can taste some tequila in it (not much but a lot more than what was sprinkled onto the flight). 6/10 for the watermelon drink. Overall the service is decent and the space is decent for small groups. There's seating at the bar area and tables inside and outside. Decor was typical for these type of place. Plenty of parking as well. Will I be back? Maybe if drinks are better.

The restaurant was practically empty, which already gave off an odd vibe. They had a stage with live music, but it felt unnecessary given the lack of atmosphere or crowd. The food selection was very limited and mostly steamed, which didn't help with flavor or texture. That said, the omelette bar and the chilaquiles were solid -- definitely the highlight of the meal. Everything else was pretty underwhelming for a $40 price tag. They offer bottomless mimosas, but here's the kicker: it's only for women. Men have to pay an extra $15. That gender pricing didn't sit right with me. On the plus side, the service was great. The servers were friendly and attentive throughout. But overall, the place gives off more of a nightclub vibe than a brunch spot. Also -- pro tip -- the final amount you pay can vary depending on whether you use cash or card, so be mindful. Not worth the price in its current state, but it might have potential if they rework the food and atmosphere.

And then the regular bartenders came back from whatever leave of absence and for a little bit, I chalked it up to it being busy or getting reacclimatized to serving. But it's been months now and I just don't know what's up. It sucks to watch everyone else get served and even when I try to help out by ordering at the bar, I still feel like I'm getting ignored. On more than one occasion, my table was worried because it took over 15-20 minutes for me to come back from ordering at the bar. On another night I grabbed my food from the kitchen window myself and napkins and cutlery. I only go for Tuesday karaoke and I always try to patronize the bar by ordering food and drinks. I have a lot of respect for people in general so, I'm not gonna holler, fuss, or be weird. I've even tried ordering 2-3 drinks at once then closing out right away so I'm out of their hair. I'm just at the point of not knowing how to be here as a patron. I don't want to not order drinks or food when I'm here for karaoke but also, it makes me super tense and anxious when I watch loads of people get served and I'm all out of luck.
