Second time there. Food was decent, had much better at Elviras. Nothing special about happy hour, you can do better at other restaurants. Bar was crowded but had obnoxios patrons at the time, restaurant was empty. Had to watch DJ videos with no sound on every TV. There are better, authentic mexican food restaurants for food and ambiance in Simi. read more

Do you want the experience of going to the loudest nightclub you've ever been to but also at like 9 AM?! Well, look no further than Kalaveras! Girl, this place is LOUD. It made me feel like someone's mean 89 year old aunt because I was basically having a scream conversation with my friends while getting progressively more upset. Volume level aside this place was really lovely for a Sunday brunch place as long as your hearing isn't too great. They have a huge array of food choices ranging from cereal, to sweetbread to an amazing choice of meats and sides that all feel delicious and familiar. There is no one food that really blew me out of the park here but that being said it was a really good value for the price and if you come really hungry, you can try a lot of different stuff. You end up getting complementary mimosas when you enter and it's a really nice touch. The service is great and the vibes of this restaurant are really lovely. Overall, it was a nice experience but I don't think that I will be going back anytime soon. read more

If you want to go to a 'restaurant' that has loud music and food that tastes like it came from a can with no flavor, this place is for you. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Look, I won't say this is the most authentic Mexican food. But with that being said, go on a Tuesday night during taco Tuesday and happy hour and these deals alone earn this spot 5 stars. They have good margaritas and pretty good tacos. Definitely recommend checking out! read more

So we had never been there before. We walked in not busy at all. With only 2 table on one side(we made 3) full and 4 on the other side. We waited 15/20 minutes 3 waiter/employee walked by and not one would even look our way. No one stoped to ask if we wanted water, chips or anything. So finally when the last employee walked by and again didn't stop I looked at my husband and said let's go! SO WE LEFT! I let the hostess know that no one ever came to out table and she was apologetic and I just told her it's not your fault. In todays time if you want to stay in business you need to hire the right people that are customer friendly and care. I'm sure I'm going to get the same response that you have given all the other bad reviews that you will pass it down to management, well I hope it's not just passed down but I hope they do something about it! If I could give zero stars I would of! read more

Service is not good whatsoever. The food is decent and might taste better if you're drunk. I ordered a wet asada burrito and it tasted a little bland considering it had various sauces and salsas. I wouldn't go back again unless I wanted to drink alcohol. read more

Ya unfortunately we have been here three times now. Wife n I always give it 3 try's. First visit right when they opened few bumps understandably so, 2nd visit, WOW! Horrible, Just like the other 1 Star comments with waiters and waitresses passing us by. Sad thing is, we were sitting at the bar. Couldn't get a glance, more interested in pretty girls n guys. If I say so myself, my wife n I aren't bad looking. I think it was the age. But I got a lot money,,,, Sooooo we waited about 15-20 min, the usual. 6 people at the bar, including us. I thought, that's it hun, let's get out of this S H, let's go to the best place in Simi where theres Great Food, ambience, people, all. EL CAPITAN here we come. I did say we give places 3 try's. But I ain't waisting my time on 3rd try. YA NEED TO HIRE THE RIGHT STAFF AND NOT A BUNCH MILLS OR GENXs Just sayin! read more

Their Tuesday tacos is ridiculously tiny with couple little chunk of meat. Its $1.50 i get it but its like you are cutting the regular price with the same amount you pay for $1.50 meat. Thats not taco Tuesday. Its half meat Tuesday. I feel bad to leave bad review but this is my honest review. Im sorry wont be back. read more

Took the family here quick seating service was pretty good, the inside is very nice music isn't super loud just right noise level. Wife has chicken burrito which was huge sadly the chicken was not the best she said best way to describe it was chicken from Campbell's soup! Super dry and flavor was not the best. I had the Birria tacos super good and extremely filling. read more

Just awful, the food, the overly sweet drinks, the service and it's way too loud turned out to be a big disappointment

-they couldn't find our reservation -server forgot to bring chips -server forgot we had ordered apps and asked us to order apps again. -music way too loud and obnoxious for 6p -food was mediocre and overpriced -presentation was great and decor was nice -drinks suck, all show -they include gratitude if you spend $200 or more (even if terrible service) -server confronted us for complaining about service, making everyone feel uncomfortable and awkward read more

Sooo good!! Yum. The energy is top tier! I had so much fun! We celebrated my friends 21st birthday LIT

Nikki is the best server! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. DEFINITELY WILL COME BACK

I had such an amazing experience here! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. The staff was so friendly and attentive--they really went above and beyond to make my friend's birthday feel extra special. From the personalized touches to the warm atmosphere, everything was perfect. The food was also absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this place for any celebration or just a great night out.Thanks to Oscar read more

This was our first time at Kalaveras (at any of them) and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, margaritas and service from Yovana. My wife and I shared the Molcajete and it was plentiful (we had leftovers) and yummy. The chips were good and the salsa was too. We had been reluctant to go to Kalaveras because we heard it was too loud and conversations at your table could be difficult to sustain. But we did not experience that at all. It was low to average level of noise. All in all, I will go back and can't wait to try other dishes. And a special shout out, again, to Yovana for the great service. read more

Been here 4 times now. The drinks get weaker every time -- by chance I ended up talking to the general manager and he said, "then you should buy shots." I politely said that I don't usually say anything but it has been consistent and motioned for him to try my drink (lol) it was basically water. Have not heard anything positive from people that go for the food. The only positive things I hear are from people that like the ambiance. read more

Poor service, never got our food after waiting almost 45 minutes. Finally got waiters attention, asked about the wait, puzzled look. Never put the order in. Couple next to us, ,same thing. Margarita was great, chips and salsa, not fresh at all. Customer service non existent. First time there and very disappointed. read more

My friends and I went here for dinner. It was Sunday night and we got right in. The outdoor seating was packed, but inside was open and we were seated immediately. We ordered our drinks and food and within minutes everything arrived. We were amazed at how fast everything came to the table. One person in our party had a Mexican Coke and the rest of us had water. Three out of four of us really enjoyed our meals. The fourth person did not care for the burrito he order. I ordered the wet burrito with chicken and it was great. The ladies had Al a crate tacos. They really enjoyed them as well. Also, the female server we had was super nice and took care of us. Now for the bum news, the music was really loud. It was good music, but we could barely hear each other. If you want low level music definitely sit outside. It was pretty quiet out there. Parking is not the best. We did find a spot, people were parking all over the lot. Would I recommend this restaurant, yes I would. Sit outside for a calmer experience. Inside is neat because of the lighting. Enjoy and have a good time. read more

So many amazing choices of drinks to choose from Of course I had to try all the tacos, but I ate them before I thought to take a pic read more

Juan & Brenda are awesome very friendly and attentive make the best drinks definitely recommend Kalaveras read more

We started going to kalaveras in Simi Valley because we enjoyed the Taco Tuesday. Unfortunately, we probably won't be going back. I walked in about 6:25pm. The two people behind the desk didn't even acknowledge my presence let alone offer to seat me. Luckily my daughter had gotten there before me and flagged me down that she had a table. The two people never even looked at me. There were six people in our party. It took over 15 minutes for the server to come take our drink order and we got a couple of happy hour appetizers. Wanted to order more before happy hour ended but couldn't get another order in before happy hour ended and we still hadn't ordered our dinner yet. Our server was very nice but obviously had more tables than she could handle. We had to ask several times to order before she finally got around to it. One thing we liked initially was how quickly the food came out after ordering but that is no longer the case. Took close to a half hour to finally get our food. Normally the tacos come with a green salsa and at least one slice of lime which were missing on two of our orders. Trying to get those and some extra limes was nearly impossible. I finally went and stood at the bar trying to get the bartenders attention but he was busy talking with the cooks. After standing there for some time, I had to interrupt his conversation as everyone's food was getting cold. My grandson wanted a coupe more tacos..once again the whole process of ordering and getting the tacos was very long. Same with getting refills on drinks or water. They are definitely way under staffed. I have read many times on our local sites about people complaining how loud it is in there. It really is a problem. The server can barely hear us and we have to repeat things several times. Forget about having a conversation at the table..it just isn't possible over the loud music playing. My grandson described it as chaotic which is spot on. The last time we were there we ordered food to go to for a couple of sick family members. That order was all messed up and we didn't get what we paid for but decided to give the place another chance. Before the night was over we were already googling other area restaurants to see who has taco Tuesday specials and will be trying them in the future. Our bill average was over $20 dollars per person and two of those people were children. So not especially cheap. Unfortunate because we like the food but the lack of service outweighs that. read more

Great food + drinks! Nikki was our server she was so sweet & helpful! definitely will come back

If you want to get stupid drunk on a Sunday then this is your place. If you want Brunch with friends, the ability to talk to each other, and maintain your ability to hear, this is NOT your place Music was ridiculously loud. Not old people complaining about loud music, but so loud you can't hear the waitress speak to you. People screaming shots! Shots! shots! Mediocre food. for $40 I expected better food. And this is a Mexican restaurant but when we asked for chips and salsa the waitress told us "the kitchen is closed". Really? Then how are you making brunch items? And what Mexican restaurant doesn't ALWAYS have chips and salsa available? I will say, it took me right back to me being 18 and drinking at bars in Tijuana. But I didn't want that today, lol. read more
