The food is pretty good, but the service is lousy. It's like there are no professionals working there. The two times that I've ordered food for pick up,I've actually gotten to the restaurant and they say they ran out of my item. They claimed that they tried to call me to tell me in advance but that is a complete lie. Based on that I would not go back. read more

My family brought us here for the first time, and we were not disappointed! This place was phenomenal. The staff was courteous, patient, and attentive, not to mention fast! My husband ordered a margarita when we placed our dinner order, and shortly after the waitress walked away, another server approached with his drink. The chips, salsa, and guacamole arrived right after that. The chips were warm and didn't taste like the store-bought bagged chips that many restaurants serve. The guacamole was served in a lovely molcajete and was the best we've ever had at a restaurant. We didn't even finish the chips before our dinner was delivered. The staff continually checked on us, ensuring all our needs were met and our water glasses were never empty, which is very important to us. Although we weren't celebrating a birthday, the table next to us was, and the staff put on an incredible celebration for them. There was a huge lit-up sign, singing, and sparklers--it was amazing! The manager even came around to check on our table and was seen sweeping and cleaning up. The food was hot and filling. I had the chile rellenos and enchiladas, while other plates at our table included fajitas, a burrito, and a soft taco plate. The decor was vibrant and colorful, making us feel like we were on vacation somewhere (which we actually were, as we were visiting family). read more

We came here for my birthday! The ambiance was fun and spunky, the service was alright. Food was delicious honestly but really got me and why I'm giving 3 stars is because we ordered a pitcher of margarita....64oz.....between my husband and I finishing it ( which we weren't even expecting to finish it as it's a lot of margarita. We thought we'd have a good buzz) we didn't even get buzzed.....64oz and we literally left with a stomach ache from all the juice. I'd at least expect to be semi buzzed with so much margarita? Coming from someone who barely drinks and is a "cheap date" because I usually only have one drink. For us to finish it and feel nothing is sad. Don't order the alcohol! Instead just order juice cuz that's basically what's served read more

Went for a college graduation, their was 22 of us. First that's alot to host but everything was good. It was a Friday night 10pm, the music was a bit loud but enjoyable, the food was good, I ordered the dragon roll which is $20 a bit pricey but me and my husband shared and it was good. The serve was ok, had to ask for utensils., napkins, to refill our drinks but again we had only one server for our 22ppl table she was doing her best but the tip was a bit much. I dont want to pay tip of I had to flag her down, rasie my hand to hope she can see me or just be tentive which she wasn't, their is alot of servers out there who work for their money not the o es like this that automatically get a tip. Overall 3 stars. Economy is getting outrageous bring down your prices otherwise Goodluck. read more

Ok I am seriously so happy that I got some friends to go with me to their brunch buffet on Sunday!!!!! This places was packed by the time we were done and I know why. The price and the food they offer is totally worth it. I better go again actually before they decided to increase the price. I was able to give them a flyer that I got from the last visit I had at dinner for a free margarita flight. It was so cute and I was able to share it. I would definitely recommend the flight. The food was so good!!!!! They had a little bit of everything. I can't remember every single dish but here were some of my personal highlights... Menudo Posole Taco Station: birria, asada, pollo Omelet station Chilaquiles station Horchata Chile colorado Sopes Vegetables Rice Ceviche Pancakes Flan Bottomless mimosas There's a lot more but I would seriously want to go back. Honestly when I saw the flan, it didn't look great and it was cut into small pieces. But when I had a bite of it, I went back and got 5 more of them!!!!! I'm really picky on flan and most people don't make it good but this was delicious. All the meat dishes I had here were so yummy, I can't stop thinking about it. Also this is one of very little locations that offer the brunch buffet so make sure you call your location to ask if they have it. I also recommend making reservation because they got packed. read more

Service was good and the food was decent. I had carne asada and chicken tacos. They are a good size. The margaritas were good. The vibe of the place is nice but once the band starts playing it got a little too loud and you basically can't carry a conversation. read more

Good food, big portions. Overpriced Mexican food but a good place to celebrate a special occasion. I went a long time ago but I remember they asked if I wanted rice and beans as I ordered my dish and I said yes and later the bill came to be $5 more for that each person who said yes. I wish they told us when they asked. Other than that, loud music and fun atmosphere. Theres a nice floral background for photos. The drinks were strong. Plenty of parking. read more

Made a reservation for 18 for my husband's birthday during their Sunday brunch hours. Everything was seamless. We had no problems and the wait staff was highly attentive. My husband and I agreed that the enchiladas and the tamales were some of the best we had ever had anywhere. I had been once before to the brunch and wanted to take my family back and my husband agreed afterwards he would absolutely go back. Their brunch is definitely my favorite brunch of any place I've ever had brunch at and I've been to all the high-end Inland Empire places. I was hesitant bringing kids because the first time the videos were not family friendly but this time they had sports on the TV's so that was great. My only real critique would be for them to check the restrooms more often because when it's busy they get dirty pretty quick. We will definitely go back again and bring more people with us. Loved the food! read more

I arrived for happy hour at 3:15pm this afternoon and was immediately seated by a hostess. My waiter took my order and brung me some water that was the last time I saw him. Another employee brought out my food and drink. I would rate the asada tacos a 7/10 and the classic margarita a 9/10 it was strong and tasty. As time went by I noticed my Waiter never came back to ask how things were going or if I needed another drink etc. Around 3:56pm I seen the waiter seating a group of customers and stopped him and requested my check. It took him about 10 mins and to return with the bill and I gave him my method of payment. 7 mins later he stops at a table to hand them their debit card I then asked him for my change and he let me know someone else was bringing it to me. Another 10 mins go by and the staff member who was supposed to give me my change gave it to the table in front of me I had to call him over. He then handed me my change after apologizing then walked away. I then looked to see that they shorted me my change. The vibe of the restaurant so nice it was well decorated they had TVs everywhere. Everything was great but the customer service! Taco Tuesday & happy hour prices Tacos are $1.49 excluding fish and shrimp tacos. $8 happy hour drinks read more

Drive by this spot several times but never stopped by. Finally we have it a shot with my wife and whoa!!!! Upon walking in, you just feel a certain vibe. Food is amazing, everything on the menu is delicious. We have come back several times, including the Sunday brunch. Drinks are good too. Service is fast and I love booking via open table so we just walk in without having to wait for a table. read more

What a fun vibe to have dinner celebrating birthdays and listening to awesome Latin music . The DJ spinning some upbeat songs, we were eating and dancing in our chairs . Kalaveras owners you should consider adding a dance floor too. This restaurant is loud so a first date would not be ideal IMO . I don't know if you should bring babies or small children here on a Saturday night dinner rush , the area we sat were so loud with music blasting , maybe sit more towards the front of the restaurant where it's low key and less noisy. Definitely make a reservation for big groups. Parking lot gets filled fast . Can park across the street at the car wash parking lot ( we were there Saturday evening and a sign stated we can park for Kalaveras customers) I had the molcajete $45 with no shrimp , Comes with tortillas, beans and rice on the side. The salsa sauce were so good with the meat choice beef, sausage and chicken. Don't expect your beef to cook medium rare , my beef were overly cooked it was so dry and chewy for my taste. Same with the chicken breast it was too dry and firm. Besides it was hard to eat having the food sitting in the mortar, wish they gave me an extra empty plate to slice the meat to manageable bite size pieces. I just ate the nopales and sausage, it was easier to slice on the lip of the mortar. The rest I took home. read more

Check your bank statement if you come eat here. They gave themselves an $18 tip. I made the situation known to the manager named Jerry, and they have still haven't refunded me because he says I have to go in person in order to receive the refund. I don't live near Rancho Cucamonga, so this is an unreasonable request. I was told that I would be issued a refund via Zelle since I am not near Rancho, but so far I have received nothing and now Jerry is even avoiding my calls. Today when I called, he was "in the restroom" and didn't even bother calling back. I would not eat here where their employees can be predatory and the manager is less than eager to make things right. read more

Overall I am pretty satisfied when I go here. Sometimes the service is hit or miss. The Albondigas soup is amazing! Everything is a little more expensive than you'd like but if something isn't up to par just let them know and they will fix it! One time the enchiladas were hard and we let the manager know and they fixed it right away. This place has VERY LOUD MUSIC! They are trying to make it like a night club, during evening they have black lights that light up the whole neon colored decor. I love the margarita flight and the barbacoa tacos! They have a house salad as well that you can order but it's just not on the menu. read more

What a fun place to eat at. Service was top notch! We are sat right away and offered drinks. There was very little pressure to order anything above and beyond, but everything was offered. We missed Happy Hour. We still partook in fun drinks. Very delicious and reasonably priced. Food portions are generous. The Taquitos were good size and very tasty. The whole atmosphere was very spooky nightclub vibes. Skulls and blacklights everywhere. The dining room can get a bit loud as people fill in and drink. Our server was amazing. He checked in with us regularly and made sure our water glasses were never empty. Will be back to try more of the scrumptious delights! read more

I was personally recommended to come here. Upon arrival the exterior and interior is very vibrant and culturally distinct. Great ambiance and servers however the food lacked flavor. The glasses were cloudy and dirty. They could improve by washing dishes better. I expected lots of flavor but the food was just ok. I feel like it may have been good before but it's lacking now. read more

The dishes were exceptional. As a mushroom enthusiast, I enjoyed the hongos taco, which was full of flavor and a great vegetarian option. I also appreciated the mole enchiladas, which were flavorful and satisfying. My husband tried the queso birria tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. Additionally, the flan and churro sandwich, though not pictured, were equally delicious. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. read more

Came in on a Saturday, the place was semi empty I made a reservation but it wasn't needed. It was Father's Day weekend so maybe that's why. I've heard a lot about this place so wanted to check it out. The service wasn't bad and the food was good. I was surprised to see they had potato taquitos so that was a plus. I think I was picturing a more upscale feel but it was similar to an el torito , with a family atmosphere, which is fine I think I just pictured something different. read more

BEWARE - FOOD POISONING!!!! Went into their profiles Rancho Cucamonga location last night for taco Tuesday with a 9. The server (Erick R. was amazing! My granddaughter ordered the chicken wings from the happy hour menu. At about midnight the SEVERE case of food poisoning kicked in. After a long night at the ER, I call today at 11 to speak to a manager. He was busy so they said he would call me back. I even gave details of my grievance. I waited 2 hours and nothing so I called back and Jorge answered and stated he was the manager and sorry he didn't call me back. I provided details and all I got was a so sorry. That will be my last time back to this location. read more

Their Sunday brunch was really good. They have a lot of good selections. Everything was fresh and tasty. They have Chilaquiles bar, Omelette bar, and Taco bar. There's also Pozole and Menudo.

My main take always: too loud, good food, over priced The food was genuinely delicious! However, what kills me is that to get the little birthday surprise they do is $75!!!! Wtfffff? All they do is come give the table a round of shots, since happy birthday, and have this fire breathing puppet thingy. The entire ordeal lasts 20 seconds. Additionally, the restaurant was as loud as a night club. Everyone sat in silence because we could not hear each other. The drinks were good and looked pretty but extremely expensive.... As well as the food. They also messed up two of my friends orders read more

Brunch at Kalaveras was soooo delicious! Every bite was full of flavor and the vibes were just right for a fun and relaxed weekend meal. Our server was very attentive, especially with keeping our bottomless champagne flowing. Never had to ask for a refill!

Came for their Sunday brunch. The manager on duty (2.22.26) sat us down at our table. Our server never came to our table. The manager came by eventually and that's when we mentioned to him that our server never came by to our table. That's when the manager mentioned who our server was and in that moment we mentioned to him that Hector never came by to offer us napkins, refills on our mimosa. Manager leaves, apologize for the fact that Hector never came by and 15 minutes later the same manager comes by and we mentioned to him again that our server Hector still didn't come to our table. By that moment, we were beyond disappointed with the service and asked for the check. read more

A friend recommended this place for their drinks and we went to celebrate my birthday. The glow in the dark murals go perfectly with their theme. The music was loud but the variety was good. We tried the guacamole and ceviche for appetizers. The guacamole was missing salt and I don't think the avocados were ripe enough. The ceviche had too much mango and not enough flavor. For the entree, we ordered the Molcajete and it exceeded our expectations. The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious. Our server was nice, she recommended the Jarrito Loko and it was very good. Except for the second one, which had a hair in my straw and almost made me lose my dinner. Last but not least, they charge you a fee for the birthday singing/show that they do for you. read more

Went for a friends birthday. Very big space with plenty of chairs. Not a ton of choices for food. Lots of taco choices but I think they need more choices besides tacos.

A bit on the pricey side but overall the service was great and the food was flavorful and decent portions read more

This place is a fun little spot. It has cute decor and a great atmosphere. The super friendly staff, music and lighting add to the experience. If you sit toward the back of the restaurant where the restrooms are located it's super loud bc that's where the music plays. Their food is delicious. I came here for happy hour so I need to come back and try more menu items but the carne asada fries and chicken taquitos were my top two faves. Their drinks are pretty sizable for the happy hour price you pay. I was pretty happy with our cucumber and strawberry margaritas. read more
