    What an amazing surprise after a skydiving in Perris we were looking for a great meal. We could not find a good restaurant in Paris so we decide to drive to Riverside search in yelp see what was a best option and we found Kalaveras when we arrive. We saw the name change to Mariposa, but we wanna give it a tried , what a great surprise our Server Andres meet us in the door. Quickly took us to a VIP table. He explain the menu and did recommendations we try: the guacamole was amazing the corn really tasty and sweet for my main course. I try the shrimp enchiladas the best I ever had All the drinks were recommended by my Server. He did not disappointed I end up having five drinks, including my birthday drink shout out for Andres one of the best experience with service 10/10 . Thank you again. For a such a good dinner and a great experience for my birthday . See you guys soon

    Kalaveras was pretty packed for a weekday lunch that wasn't their taco Tuesday special promotion. The interior is a loud but large dining area with interesting design, but overall had a lively atmosphere. We were waiting to order for about 15 minutes, but it was a busy day, so it made sense for the wait times. We got some water and eventually ordered our food. The carnitas and chicken tacos were good, but not what I would go out of my way for. The sweet potato fries were fine and had a sweetness to contrast with the salty. I would have to call ahead to pick up food for my next visit 30 minutes beforehand in the future, but maybe when I'm in the mood, I'll grab some food from here.

    Today's visit here was in celebration of my son's birthday. The lovely Itzel was absolutely amazing in her service after a few drinks and just enjoying celebrating the food and drinks she was so thoughtful to gather the staff on shift and they all sang happy birthday .. I have visited two other locations and this Kalaveras is my third location. You must visit please be sure to check in with Itzel.

    The Kalaveras brand has been expanding like crazy lately so I was interested to see what the hype was about. Once you walk in you're hit in the face with loud music. They're definitely going for the party vibe here. The space is pretty large and the walls are lined with booths that look down on everything. Thinking the emphasis would be on cocktails, I didn't have the highest expectations for the food. Thankfully I was completely wrong. I've only had the wet burrito and the Kali Burrito and they were both incredibly tasty. Not skimpy with the ingredients and full of flavor. The Kali Burrito nets you a side of black beans and some plantains. I really recommend that! Service has always been friendly, even when my dumb azz had to go back the next day because I left my credit card there....and looking at their box of credit cards left there I am FAR from the only one. This particular building on Spruce seems to be cursed as it's been a few different things already. Hopefully Kalaveras sticks. The vibe is pretty cool, the service is good and most importantly the food is excellent. Maybe not for everyone but give it a chance! Definitely recommended!

    Made a reservation and was sat quickly. Loud environment with a vibrant energy of Latin music which is fun. A waiter brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order. Our drinks came out a little while after and we order guac to accompany the chips. When they brought out the chips and guac we started to eat it, but then realized the basket of chips had a bundle of lint/hair hanging off/in it. When we told a food runner he just said "oh" and then took the chips. (Wtf) After we ordered our food it all came out at random about a couple minutes apart versus all together. The burrito I had was more rice than meats or beans, and it didn't come customized how I asked for it. Finally after asking for the check it took around 20 minutes to get it sorted and pay for our meal. They also have a service charge added as a tip which is fine if the service was actually good. TLDR; THE FOOD IS OVERPRICED AND THE SERVICE IS TRASH. AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON MEDIOCRE FOOD AND A LONG WAIT WITH SERVICE CHARGE.

    Had an amazing first time experience!!! Andre's was amazing with his service with the party!! Will be returning the food was amazing! Came for a birthday dinner and the birthday experience that they put on alone is worth coming back for!! The drinks were also worth the price!

    Great vibes, lots of food options! Enjoyed the drink options, mango michelada was fire. Food was quick

    Bar area, really pretty

    I ordered the wrong thing here :( We came here for lunch on a week day and it was still a colorful fun atmosphere. Each eating area is colorfully decorated and there are screens through with music videos playing. I lost count of how many Bad Bunny videos played and we were happy! Service was slow at first, it seemed to take too long for someone to come by and take our drink order. But this was my first mistake. I went with a classic michelada. It was ok, just kind of boring compared to my husband's margarita flight. The flight came with four half size margaritas: jamaica, classic, mango and a spicier one. They were beautifully presented and tasted yummy. My next mistake was ordering the pepita salad. It was ok but again boring. I especially didn't care for the creamy dressing - it would have been much better with a vinaigrette or even just the salsa on the table with a squeeze of lime. Sometimes I need to not go with the healthy option and get what I really want. I should have ordered the enchiladas or taquitos - both were much tastier. My girls loved their quesabirria tacos and our daughter in law's sushi roll was gigantic and flavorful, she loved it. My husband ordered the taquitos and shared with me :) Service was friendly, and once our drink orders were taken, attentive. I would definitely come back here especially at night when I will bet it's more of a club like atmosphere- but still a family friendly restaurant.

    Finally, been trying to make it here for months! I heard it got crowded so I decided to make a 6:30pm reservation. I arrived and we were seated right away. Upon walk-in it was dark and loud. They play music videos for music. We were seated in the bar, which was ok. I looked at the menu and once the waitress arrived I ordered the Margarita flight and 2 chicken tacos. My drinks arrived and they were all different and delicious. Got me a little buzz. The chicken tacos were pretty big and delicious. My only complaint is being charged $1.99 for onions and cilantro. I think it's petty for a restaurant to charge for things like that. But all in all it was a nice night.

    Do not come here if you want to chat with friends. Music was ridiculously loud. Service from our waitress was great. Food on the other hand was just not it. Ordered the dragon roll. The entire roll was extremely greasy. Individual rolls fell apart, too spicy too eat. One roll, one miche, one agua fresca and one shot $70 (with gratuity added)

    The art and amazing colors of venue definitely had you looking around. The drinks were really good but in my opinion a little over priced. The food was good, presentation was nice. The customer service was 10/10 our waiter was very attentive and always made sure to check on us. Recommend, if you are into good drinks, Mexican culture and food. Don't be surprised by the additional service charge that is added to the bill. This is only if you have a party of 6 or more.

    WOW! I was blown by some of the dishes we ordered at this restaurant. The ceviche was really fresh and so good. My absolute favorite item that we ordered was the Dragon Roll. This roll is so big and it's on the appetizers section of the menu but you can definitely order it as meal in itself. I order the Jarito Loco drink which refreshing and delicious as well. The restaurant is decorated really cool as well which makes for a cool experience. The service was pretty fast as well. I definitely hope to come back to this location.

    No, there were multiple children there on a Saturday night. :)

    Do you accept reservations for larger parties?

    Yes we accept any and all large parties for reservations

    Do they require reservations?

    No they don't let you do reservations after a certain time I believe

    Yelp or your business removed my question? We visited this location for the first time on Sat 5/14/22 and realized after we left our bill included a surcharge on top of the gratuity we added. No server or host told us of surcharge. Is this standard

    They do this when a bill is over 200 I believe. I think it's only written on the receipt I could be wrong

    Do they serve brunch/breakfast?

    Yes they just started to

    Is this spot kid friendly?

    They dont have an age minimum, but they do play explicit music videos.

My organization was hosting a 30-person luncheon, and she helped us figure out what would work best for us and made amazing recommendations. She was constantly available to answer questions, even after we had booked the catering event. We ordered the French toast, chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, and breakfast tacos, and everything was amazing! Our attendees absolutely raved about the food. We kept getting questions about where the restaurant was located because people wanted to go eat there themselves! They also went above and beyond by neatly labeling each individual dish, which helped our event run so smoothly. The attendees really appreciated how organized everything was, especially the labels, and they provided more than enough individually packaged salsa for everyone. The quality of the food was awesome, and we will definitely be looking forward to working with Fire Up Grill again in the future! I was so impressed with the Fire Up Grill team, and everyone was very pleased with the catering. Thanks, Meaghan, and thanks to the whole team! You guys rock!

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us?

Then the fries we got were not fresh they were reheated and when mentioned there was attitude. Family and I have decided to go back to the Redlands State from now on. Ambiance is good but at this point it doesn't matter.
