    M S.

    I stopped by Kalaveras in Fullerton on a Thursday evening after work after getting off the train. I've seen the restaurant plenty of times, but lately I've been trying to check out places that I haven't been to before, so I figured I'd give it a try. The restaurant has a very colorful atmosphere with upbeat music, and it definitely has a lively feel to it. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and asked if I wanted a booth or a table. I said whatever was available, and I was seated almost immediately. I looked over the menu, ordered a beverage, and decided on the shrimp enchiladas. The menu didn't say whether they came with rice and beans, so I asked my server, Emmanuel, and he confirmed that they did. Quite honestly, everything was great. The drink was delicious, and the shrimp enchiladas, which were $23, came out fresh and hot. The rice and beans were also very flavorful, and I finished my entire plate. Mind you, I came by myself and not with a group, so I know that can sometimes make for a different experience. Even with that in mind, I was really impressed with both the service and the quality of the food. I had no complaints. Kudos to Emmanuel and the rest of the staff for a great experience. I'd definitely come back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kalaveras if you're looking for a good meal in the area.

    The paintings and ambiance are so cool and make the whole place feel unique.

    The food was amazing! I had the chicken taquitos and a Mezcal Old Fashioned, and both were absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding as well. Everyone was very attentive and quick, and they gave me several great recommendations. The paintings, decorations, and overall ambiance were so cool and made the whole experience even better.

    The Burrito
    Allene A.

    Amazing service and staff! Shout out Ana she was literally the best. Did bottomless mimosas and the were QUICK to refill and accommodate flavors. We had a group of 9 so we def kept them busy refilling our flutes lol Music a lil loud but hella seating and vibes inside. The adobada is BOMB and huge. The burrito is whatever, cheese grilled on the outside and not the inside. Chilaquiles were not soggy yay!!

    Churro Sandwich
    Alyanna S.

    They offer reservations, which is great because it ended up being packed due to a soccer game. There's two entrances which was a bit confusing but eventually we found the one with the host stand. The host helped us pretty quick and we were seated in a booth. Our waiter was Brandon and he was great, he checked on us often throughout our visit. I ordered the Mi Novia Fresa, the Lomo Saltado and the Churro Sandwich. The drink had a nice strawberry taste with sugar on the glass. I ordered my Lomo Saltado to be chicken but unfortunately they gave me steak and they had to remake it. When I got the right one though it tasted very good! The Churro Sandwich was exceptional, great crispiness and drizzled with a strawberry sauce. I would come back just for the sandwich alone!

    Bronny was fun,friendly & fast! Our glasses were never empty & he made sure we were always happy! The food was so good & big. I made 4 tacos out of 2! The corn was delicious too! Enjoyed the music & watched the woman's golf too!

    I absolutely love Kalaveras! The staff is amazing, the management is great, and the bartenders are always friendly and make great drinks. The food is delicious, and everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and nice. You can really tell that the team cares about their customers and wants everyone to have a great time. Definitely a great place to eat, have some drinks, and enjoy yourself. Highly recommend Kalaveras!

    The Food is Delicious I had The Esquite appetizer and it was the drinks are amazing too Sal The Bartender does Killer Chamucos try them out!!! Emmanuel was our server and he was great. The Management team is phenomenal Ismael and a Gustavo are super friendly and informative. The Ambiance is the best Think Mexico Style in Orange County. We had the chance to see Bliss Band with Vanessa from Tease perform and they got down!! Definitely coming back again to try their Karaoke night on Thursday's.

    This place was good but nothing too special. Their mixed drinks tasted really watered down but their shots come out pretty cool. The food was decent. I think their best quality is the design of the restaurant. The service was good.

    Margarita Flight
    Felicity D.

    Gotta say, this was a pretty cool place! Since the weather has been pretty hot, we decided to sit outside. The Margarita Flight has an aesthetic presentation however the drinks were STRONG. Wish I tasted more of the fruity flavors instead of pure alcohol. The Pepino one was probably the best tasting out of the four. I was skeptical about the nachos but the asada was REALLY GOOD! The meat was flavorful and tender. The ceviche tasted really bland, almost nothing. My friend who doesn't like seafood whatsoever had no trouble eating it because it had zero flavor. Would recommend to skip this next time. Not pictured but we last ordered the Mangonada Slushie because I saw another table had them and it looked so tasty! Unfortunately the mango taste was lacking and it was mostly alcohol :( I would definitely come again because the vibes were great. The food and drinks are more on the pricier side though. But they even had a live band playing inside playing Latin bangers (according to my friends).

    Kala Bowl with chicken
    Ronald E.

    Made a reservation and check in was easy and we were seated immediately. Our server was Manny and he was there any time he was needed with friendly and prompt service . My sister and I hit the lunch specials, Lunch Fajita plate and one of the Kara Bowl (?) with chicken. Both meals were outstanding. The Jalapeño carrots were a nice adder to the fajita plate. Chicken was well spiced and moist. The flour tortillas appeared to be fries made fresh made. A great lunch for a great price

    Renee W.

    First was weak but when Manny stepped it up it was Extra spicy. Cheers to the bartender

    KALA-BURRITO
    Esther M.

    We stopped in to kick off our weekend after work and had a great time. Everyone we met was so nice and welcoming, it honestly felt like hanging out at a friend's house. Salvador and Theresa were amazing bartenders, checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the empanadas and my boyfriend got the Kala Burrito. He was very happy with his meal, and the empanadas were super flavorful. We'll definitely be back!

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

    Date night for mom and dad away from the kids type of night. Very mellow and chill. Small but cozy…read more I loved the Gatsby decor. We chose to be seated at the bar. Service was decent. I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) a salt shaker with 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

Decor: Perfect for spooky lovers Ambiance: Could use some music to match the theme Service: good & attentive waitress I actually ended up here by accident. I was trying to go to Villains Brewery. I didn't realize I was at the wrong place until I looked at the menu. The two spots are right next to each other, have similar aesthetics, and are easy to mix up. Since I was already there (and starving), I decided to stay. The spooky decor is totally my vibe, so I was happy to give it a shot. The food was decent not bad by any means, but it didn't have that wow factor. I've definitely had better steaks and mac & cheese, but everything was cooked fine and tasted good. The drinks were solid, and I liked the cocktail selection. What really impressed me was the happy hour. BOGO drinks plus two free sides with the steak is a pretty great deal these days. The steak was a little pricey for the quality, but honestly, what isn't expensive anymore.... Service was good. My waitress was attentive, though to be fair I was the only customer there at the time. My only real complaint is that the place felt a little quiet. With the spooky theme, some music would really help set the mood and elevate the atmosphere. Overall, this ended up being a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend it for food and drinks, and I personally enjoyed it much more than Villains Brewery (you can read my review on that one... no bueno). Not sure if the two businesses are connected, but I had a good experience at one and a bad experience at the other. ‍

Water wasn't even consistently poured for everyone at the table. Drink orders were skipped even while orders were being taken from people sitting right next to each other. The first time, we literally had to go ask our server about a drink that had already been ordered. Then later, someone ordered the exact same drink as another person at our table--one came out and the other was completely forgotten. How many times does a table need to be overlooked before it's no longer considered a simple mistake? We shouldn't have to keep tracking down staff, asking where our drinks are, or reminding someone that our table exists. The whole experience felt careless, disorganized, and honestly just rude. So over this place. If basic service is this difficult within the first hour of being there, that says enough.

    We found Stone Groove on accident looking for whiskey tastings and WOW DID WE LUCK OUT! Amazing…read moreexperience front to back! The hostess explained their whole shtick: in-house distilled spirits that are infused with music to change the flavor profile. It SOUNDS crazy...until you order a flight and taste their two burbons side by side: same bourbon, different music, different tasting notes. Totally crazy experience! For cocktail lovers, they are doing some really cool stuff there. I got 2 savory cocktails (Mariposa & Aquatinted), the former was more my speed, but I always appreciate when restaurants experiment more in the savories for cocktails. Their signature list has many unique flavor combinations, and I'm looking forward to our next visit to try more! Food-wise: no misses for us. We debated going for a bunch of small plates (easily doable with their menu), but the sea bass was calling to us. Split that + the Wagyu Short Rib. Both were delicious, but the Wagyu was a little under salted for me. The smoked carrot conift actually stole the show on that dish - we're definitely going to try the carrot appetizer next time we're there! Dessert: Both full desserts looked great (their 3rd dessert right now is a cocktail - also cool!), but we opted for the Baked Alaska. DELICIOUS! The dish was stellar, but the cherry sauce with it took it to the next level. Ambiance: Great vibes. They have a live DJ Fridays and Saturdays, and the music was present but not overwhelming for me. The whole space is designed with sound in mind so it was very cozy, very atmospheric, and very chill. Can't wait to come back! Huge shout out to our server/bartender Jimmy who was CRUSHING IT managing so many drink orders. Hope we run into you again next time!

    It was 5 o'clock somewhere lol…read more This bar has prime real estate inside the great, Anaheim packing district. (The Anaheim packing district has private parking and it's easy to find a spot during the week. On the weekend, it's another story) You basically run right into the hammer bar when you enter from the main entrance. It's nothing fancy, gives off hipster vibes and is cool without trying to be cool. The two bartenders Josh and Xavier were amazing I came here around prime lunch time. I went and asked one of the bartenders, since they do not serve food if it was ok to bring some pastries inside and eat them with my drink. (There's a pastry place right next to the hammer bar) They said since it was a weekday and not busy I could bring something in. So I went and grabbed some food and sat there while drinking my drinks. They have bar seating and then they have hightop tables as well I asked them for some recommendations. Josh and Xavier both recommended The zombie (kept warning me that it was extremely strong. So I stayed away from that. Even though I'm confident I could handle it) The banana clip The pool noodle (I told them I needed it to be pretty / cool looking too, lol) I went with the pool noodle -Plantaray Pineapple Rum, Rhum J.M. Agricole, guava, apricot, lime and cava. AND, let me tell you, this was delicious AND looked amazing 10/10 Then I went with the banana clip- Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon, banana, mandarine, cinnamon, pineapple and lemon. 10/10, I loved it To be honest all the drinks sounded great. If I wasn't planning on going to other places and walking around the packing district, I would have just stayed at this bar and had a few more lol. Prices were extremely reasonable as well The service that Josh and Xavier provided was phenomenal 10/10. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I had They also have mocktails, beer and wine. I highly recommend coming here for a drink if you are coming to the Anaheim Packing district. Or stay here for a while. I could have definitely stayed longer and tried more. I'll definitely be back next time I am in the area (On the menu it says they offer gift cards. So it would be perfect for any friends that live by this place and appreciate a cool bar)

    Great spot on the 2nd level of the Anaheim Packing District. Friendly bartenders, but they have…read moreseating around all sides, so they might take a little while to get you your drink. They were playing some great 90s tunes and watching them make drinks, talk a little shit, and have fun was great to watch! I only had a single beer (local lager that the bartender recommended) as I was waiting for a reservation at another spot, but I'll definitely stop here again the next time I'm in the area.
