My girls and I had a bachelorette brunch in this restaurant Bronny hosted as our waiter. He took care us well. He introduced the meal and recommend us the drink the mocktail option. The food served really huge size and very delicious. If you would like to enjoy the dinner and lunch with group of party. Here is right place. Hey Folks. We were very happy for the meal, vibe and service. But we found out they sneakily added the gratuity in our bill and they did not offer the itemized bill! So we "accidentally" offer the tip 36% Be aware of their stick read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while based on the great reviews I've seen, so I took the opportunity to treat a friend to a birthday brunch this past Sunday. I really wanted to love it, but unfortunately, I left feeling underwhelmed. It was supposed to be a beautiful, warm day, so I made a reservation for patio seating. When we arrived, the patio wasn't set up, and we were escorted to the main dining room instead. That was fine at first, as it was cool and comfortable but as the restaurant quickly filled up, it became quite stuffy, which was a bit disappointing. Since the restaurant was busy, I anticipated that service might be a little slow. We were there to celebrate and catch up, so timing wasn't a major concern. However, we didn't receive water until at least 10-15 minutes after being seated, and the chips and salsa arrived sometime later. We each ordered a mimosa flight, but only one arrived at first. The staff apologized and explained that the bar was backed up, so we shared until the second flight came out. Unfortunately, all of the drinks were served at room temperature. Beautifully presented, but not very enjoyable. As for the food, my dish came out several minutes before my friend's so mine was almost room temperature before we both began eating. My one friend said the chilaquiles were good and the other seemed to think the tacos were okay. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito. It had good flavor, but it was very dry, which made it unappetizing. I only finished half despite being hungry. I'm not wasting calories on meh food. On a positive note, the service staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. The team came by to celebrate my friend with a song, a complimentary dessert, and a $10 celebratory shot (upon request), which was a fun touch. However, despite the great ambiance and kind service, the overall experience didn't quite meet expectations, and I likely wouldn't return. read more

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and were looking forward to having a great evening. Unfortunately, what should have been a fun celebration was overshadowed by the completely inappropriate behavior of the bartender Tere. I went to grab a lemon slice from the bar, and the bartender physically blocked my hand and shoved my arm away. There was absolutely no reason for the situation to become physical. If I was not supposed to take the lemon, the bartender could have simply said so. There was no need to touch or shove my arm. She also became very rude and disrespectful, and when I asked her her name, she told me to "find out" myself. I asked our waitress for her name, she said it was Tere. What makes this even more disappointing is that this happened over something so minor. A professional employee should know how to communicate with customers respectfully and handle a simple situation without putting their hands on them. We were there to celebrate a birthday and enjoy dinner with friends. Instead, we left feeling extremely uncomfortable and disappointed. This type of behavior should not be tolerated by management. I strongly believe the bartender's conduct needs to be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. Customers should feel welcomed and respected not physically pushed away over a lemon slice. Management needs to take responsibility for how their employees treat paying customers. This was completely unnecessary and unacceptable! read more

I rarely complain about anything. But the service couldn't have been worse. I'm not expecting much but the attitude of the hostess was so off putting that couldn't trust what the kitchen might have in store. read more

If you're dining at Kalaveras, definitely ask for Enmanuel--you won't be disappointed. Thank you for helping make such a memorable birthday celebration! read more

Good food. Great service. Eclectic atmosphere. My friend and I tried Taco Tuesday, and it did not disappoint! We got there a bit early, so there was no line. There was a good variety of taco choices from pollo to asada to chicharrón. We were seated at a very large and comfy booth. Our waiter Vanessa L. came over to take our order (we ordered 4 tacos each), then we were given a receipt to take to the taco bar. At the taco bar, Juan was helpful in explaining each of the meat options and made our tacos. Afterwards, we went to the salsa/side bar to finish garnishing our plates. When we got back to our table, we got complimentary chips and salsa. Shortly after, Bronny, one of the managers, came to our table to offer us complimentary lemon drop shots as a promotion for an upcoming themed night. The presentation was so fun! On the outside, the restaurant looks like it would be playing loud music, but we were pleasantly surprised that the music volume wasn't too loud at all! We were able to easily have a conversation, and the other patrons were very kind too. We certainly plan to come back. read more

I remember a few months earlier my daughter mentioned this restaurant and I have seen them popping up all over the place but I knew she liked it and I figure I'd surprise her with a daddy daughter meal that I knew she wouldnt complain about. I started out with a marguerita, it was tasty but I didnt taste any alcohol in it so I just moved on to a coke. It was time to eat so I ordered one of their burrito, one with papas (french fries) in it and wet. Now here is where I was impressed. It was delicious and was put in a food coma. I need to come back and try some of their other drinks but definitely was worth the stop and the kid was happy, that all that matters. Paid parking in the back, free parking on the street. read more

Highly recommend! read more

Kalaveras is a gem! We came for lunch on Margarita Monday. We each got 2 tacos. The fish, barbacoa, and chicharron tacos were really delicious. We sat at the bar, Junior was our amazing and charismatic bartender, Jonny our fun and playful server. We ordered a couple of Bloody Mary's and the in house made mix was really delicious, thanks to Jaime in the back of house. Hopefully they get Karaoke or a DJ soon to be the cherry on top! We'll definitely be back. Thanks Junior and Jonny for the great time! read more

We came to kalaveras and this very nice gentleman with a suit helped he was great! However Emanuel or I think that's his name; when I asked him for a skull with shots he said they didn't have anything (It was for a friends birthday.) All he said is he had shots with dry ice and that he's a manager and that he couldn't do anything. Then 30 minutes later they came out with a duck singing happy birthday with music and shots. He then comes to ask if we want it. After we had already asked for something similar. Next time just say you want us to leave and I will gladly take my business elsewhere. read more

Kalaveras - Our bill. We were willing to spend money. He was just rude. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

First time walking into a Kalaveras and first thing I noticed how hot it was in there. We were sat in the first room closer to Commonwealth st. We did ask if we could sit in the last room by the bar and they were quick to accommodate us. Our server was nice and quick to take our order. Food looked great. We ordered steak nachos but got to try the chicken nachos since they brought out the wrong ones. We did send them back after we realized we got the wrong ones. Steak was delicious and would definitely have again. The red tortilla tacos dorados were a fave. The cubed queso fresco was delicious with the salsa they come with. Usually I have grated cotija on tacos dorados but loved it. Also had the seafood tower, wasn't bad but I've had better ceviche to be honest. Our friends had the Dragon roll a fried CA roll. I didn't get to try it but they liked it. I'm more of a raw sushi girl so maybe next time. Everything was great but the drinks are not strong at all. We had lollipop shots, and I tried the Guavarita, couldn't taste the guava or the pineapple and worse of all the tequila, perhaps I need a stronger spirit lol. Drinks were definitely not strong. At least compared to other places where I've had the Mexican lollipop shots. They also have a room with a DJ and I saw a couple dancing. We were there on Friday night around 10:30pm. Was not busy at all. read more

Super delayed review, but the food, staff and, ambience checked all the boxes. We were a very large group and had Vanessa and Ronnie(I believe) helping us. They were so accommodating and attentive- unfortunately some of the party got stuck at work and showed up late, but at no point did we feel rushed and instead were met with such patience and understanding. We were checked in on various times, and they also made great recommendations on both drinks and food. The birthday girl had a blast celebrating her 85th and we ended the night dancing on the patio. Food was delicious as were the drinks. Very fun atmosphere. read more

Stopped by Kalaveras after taking the Surfliner from San Diego to Fullerton. Food was great, service was even better! Guacamole and pork rinds- especially yummy! Tried the tacos. We had Chicharrón, Pescado, and Camaron. All delicious! We liked the Chamoy rim on the Mango Michelada. Emanuel was a fun waiter. Hopefully you get him too! We ate on the patio but the interior looked fun (probably even more at night when they have live music). read more

We came here on date night to try out this place. Manny boy was our server he did amazing great recommendations! Will come back again

I'm sorry but walking in and saying you need a reservation when there's 4 booths available it's ridiculous. I'll spend my money somewhere else. I walked in around 2:30pm and I checked to make a reservation and I could make a reservation for 2:45pm. Do you think it was necessary to have those booths empty with paying customers walking in? A big reason why my group and I decided to walk out on your business. BAD CALL FROM YOUR HOST OR MANAGER!! We were outside for another 25 minutes and observed no one else walked in with or without reservations. If I could give you 0 stars I would! read more

Emmanuel was a great server his service was top notch and took care of us very well. Thank you again for being a great server and keep up the good work! read more

We were at the Rams/Chargers game at SoFi but didn't want to eat out there since I live in the OC and it was late. We decided to go to downtown Fullerton and this place looks lively. We ordered a tama-lindo margarita and a la Kalavera which is just a regular margarita. Both were sooooo good! Best margaritas I've had! For food we had the Barbacoa entree and the Lomo Saltado. I've never had either and these were delish! Definitely going to come back and try more items! Service was excellent! Food came out fast and our waiter was attentive. Love the way the place was decorated with all the neon lights etc. read more

Manny was a great server, very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had what we needed. The food was fabulous & so were the drinks!

All I have to say is the guy that was at the host desk on 6.18.26 around 4:40pm was an a**hole with the most sh*ttest service. We weren't being rude or anything all we asked for was a different table. That guy gave us nothing but attitude the whole time and because of that we will never comeback to this or any other kalaveras. read more

Great customer sevice by our server Yatzin and the rest of the servers, she was always making sure if we needed something. The ambiance was nice, the place was vibrant and pleasant to be there.
