    Kavas has always been a go-to for me wheneve5i find myself on I-Drive. Their food is delicious and the live entertainment, whether it's the fire dancer or the live band are always great. I came during the weekday for a quick lunch and was able to get the horchata and a birria sandwich. Both were pretty good. Service was so so. I had three different waiters and when I asked one for the check and a to-go container for the rest of my sandwich with a little more consume to take with me, he came back with the containers and no consume. I was able to wave another waiter down and ask her about it, and she said that they charge extra for it. That's fine, I'm not sure why the other waiter did not say that when I asked him about it. *Note the other pictures were from another night I went out with a friend for dinner there.

    Big Ass Burrito

    We made reservations for a party of 7 for cinco de mayo and it was honestly a disappointing experience. The host stand had a long line and seemed a bit disorganized. Once we were seated, the music was so loud we couldn't even hear the server speaking right next to our ears. Luckily, we were able to switch to a different table where the music wasn't as loud. The reservations we made had the option for Taco Tuesday but they did not have any of their regular specials and the house margarita for cinco de mayo wasn't worth it. It came in a smaller cup- you were better off getting the regular one for the extra $2. There were several times where the food runners brought the wrong dishes to us and the empanadas took an extremely long time to arrive and not really worth it. The burritos were massive and the tacos hit the spot. They have different entertainment like fire dancers and mariachi. Not sure if they validate parking but for the hassle it takes to get to this plaza along with the price point you're better off trying any of the other restaurants in the area.

    The atmosphere here is amazing! No beating it. They have a mariachi band 5 nights per week at 7 pm and the decor is so festive and modern. We loved the little telephone that's says tequila calling where you can take a photo op. The strawberry margarita was delicious. The churro sundae was one of the best desserts I've had with warm churros! The large taco board was also really fun.

    Friendly staff, though a little pricey food and drinks were good. Fire show at the top of the hour when we went on a Saturday. Good vibes.

    I remember when this spot was new and super trendy! They're well known for their taco board that has like 12 tacos for sharing. I got the taco salad, and the rest of the party shared the taco board, or got their own thing. The atmosphere is the draw in! They took great care of our party. We came for a birthday, and they did an amazing job with the celebration and the dessert! Definitely worth the hype!

    2nd time here. Tried the birria tacos this time. The meat was super flavorful but very very fatty. Complimentary chips and salsa wouldve been nice. I got the margarita tower. My drinks were really good but a bit on the sweet side. The restaurant itself is really cute. I love the decor and that they inside and outside seating. Because this location is so far from me Ive only gone on a weekend. I prefer brunch when there is way less traffic. Also, when I came for brunch they had a mariachi band which was really nice. Both times the staff have been really friendly and service rather quick considering how busy they can get. Located at the pointe so it's a great walkable area to enjoy after you're meal

    Kavas Tacos & Tequila was a fun place to have a late night dinner on Christmas Eve. We weren't quite sure where to go and what would be open close to our hotel. We went to The Pointe Orlando and were initially eyeing Taverna Opa(Greek). We walked around and decided upon KAVAS. Those two appeared to be open the latest. We were welcomed into a fun colorful ambiance and great service. The music was awesome too. First mariachis and then fun upbeat music afterwards. It was also decked up for Xmas! We could eat outside or inside and decided on inside, but the outside is nice and it was perfect temperature for Xmas eve. We decided to split the Chimichanga with rice and beans. This is a good amount for a late night dinner & so easy to split. It was quite tasty with the cheesy sauce you pour on top and it was not spicy which is good and just the way we liked it. We enjoyed our dinner here and continued our fun Christmas Eve night. Happy we chose this place! They did say parking is validated and $5 off bc there is a parking garage at the Pointe. We actually parked across the street and crossed the street bc we didn't want to deal with that paid parking.

    Skirt Steak Fajita

    We were thinking this is going to be a tourist trap spot. Probably not that good. Overpriced. Well we were wrong. We want to give it the full 5 stars. Great food. Great experience. We came in and sat at the bar as we wanted to watch the game while getting some food. No sound but that's ok. The bartender was attentive the whole night and really knew when she was needed or not. We tried the salsa, ground beef tacos, and the steak fajitas. Wow! Everything was delicious. The salsa is endless and we thought it was fresh. The steak fajitas I still dream about. They came out sizzling with plenty of green peppers and onions. The rice was just right. They gave a small portion of guacamole and sour cream was it worked out fine for dinner. They also provided 3 flour tortillas. We did see a mariachi band in the restaurant going up to tables. They also had a photographer come around. They took our picture. Came out great. They brought it over to show us and they can print the photo or make keychains with the photo. It was a bit pricy paying for the photo but we had a great time and liked the photo. Parking was not free but it was around $6 for our dinner hour.

    Holiday Drink Menu
    Melisa F.

    We called ahead and made reservations earlier in the week for a party of 15 people. The reservation required a credit card on file. We were advised if we did not show up, we would be charged $25 per person. That was not an issue because we were planning on going. When we got there we found a Mariachi Band playing outside. We were greeted and promptly ushered to our table. Our server was very attentive throughout the entire night. We ordered appetizers, drinks, and food. I had the Beef Empanadas and the Kava Chopped Salad with Salmon. I indulged in the holiday drink menu and got a Santa's Cookietini. The Beef Empanadas were ok. I only ate one of the three that came in the order. The salad was big and tasted good. I held the pico, black beans and corn. I left with more than half because I could not eat it all. The Santa's Cookietini was good. The flavors were blended well. I was partially full from sampling the Loaded Birria Fries. It was a big portion for an appetizer. It definitely served as an entree for two of my family members. They were too full after eating the Loaded Birria Fries to order anything else. The Mariachi Band was amazing. They came table side and asked if we had any special requests. Later they came back to sing "Happy Birthday " to our birthday twins. After, they asked for another special request in which they played and sang beautifully. They were my favorite part of the evening! They were friendly and entertaining. Kavas has a dessert cup that is presented to birthday parties that consist of ice cream, brownies, cookies, churros, and marshmallows ($45). The staff presents the cup holding a sign that says Happy Birthday and sparklers. The dessert was big enough to feed the entire group. I had a churro. It was delicious and covered with cinnamon sugar. There was also a photographer taking photos for purchase. There is an option for a framed photo or keychain. We had an issue at checkout with my sister and the server. We expected an automatic gratuity of at least 18% because we were a large party. All of the bills provided an itemized list of items ordered. After the total, there were gratuities listed of 19 and 20%. When my sister was paying her bill, the server quickly selected the 20% gratuity and submitted the payment. Why is there an option for 19 or 20%? It makes it confusing especially when the percentages are only a fraction of cents difference. Just make it one percentage and automatically add it to the bill. My sister didn't mind paying the 20%, she was upset because of how the server handled the payment submission. Besides that, Kavas was a great experience. The Mariachi Band was amazing! The drinks and food were good.

    Taco Salad 6/10
    Whisper W.

    We saw a comedy show at the Funny Bone and ate dinner afterwards. We sat inside and it was busy and loud but in a great energy way! Server was patient and friendly and explained a few items on menu for us. The cocktails were on point but my husbands old fashioned was very light in volume when he removed the ice - very questionable but he said it was one of the best he's had flavor wise. We shared their guac, salsa, and Elote- all great and very filling. My husbands old fashioned got their Skirt Steak dinner and had to send back being well done and asked for medium. It sat on the hot plate under their lights too long. There was no issue getting it remade and when it came out medium rare as asked it was perfection. I had the taco salad and it was okay and would try something else in the future.

    Carnitas Platter
    Bryee P.

    4.5 Ambience is great Service was good For my first time here, I was really happy. We all loved the chips and salsa. I got the combo fajitas: chicken and steak. I added a side of black beans after trying them from someone else's plate haha they were yummy! Someone got the carnitas plate and really enjoyed it. There is a little kick in spice to them. The rest got the tacos: carnitas and carne asada. They enjoyed their food. Altogether, I would definitely go back!

    Beef Empanadas
    Holly D.

    My family and I were craving Mexican food and found Kavas Tacos + Tequila on Yelp -- and we're so glad we did! From start to finish, it was a great experience. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the margarita tower... twice -- it was so much fun and came with four different flavors, each one delicious. My mom and I split the beef empanadas (so good!) and the chicken fajitas, which hit the spot and were the perfect amount of food for the two of us. They also had a fire dancer for entertainment, which was such an impressive and unexpected bonus to the night! Overall, amazing food, fun drinks, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Fire performer
    Sara L.

    Brought my in laws, who are visiting from out of town, here last night and they really enjoyed it! I'd never been here either. I thought the food was really good. I got the steak and chicken fajitas. We were so hungry and enjoyed them so much, I forgot to get a photo! The interior is pretty cool and we were seated under this cool sort of fabric tree thing. They even had a fire performer (which I think was special for Mardi Gras, but I'm not sure). Our server, Alyssa, was so sweet and helpful! Our only complaint is the music is SO loud. Even though it was mostly music that spoke to my millennial heart, it was still just really loud. Maybe we are just too old to appreciate music at that volume? Not sure. We did ask if it was possible to turn the music down a little bit, and they did, which we appreciated.

There were indoor seating options only, though it does look like they have a patio space that might be occasionally open. We were able to accommodate the entire group at one table, and we had one server assigned to our table as well. Drinks along with complimentary chips and salsas were brought out somewhat quick! The salsas were a bit on the spicy side, but had good flavor. Appetizers took about 45 minutes to get out, and they were somewhat small portions. The queso (wish I would have gotten a picture) was not what you would expect, it was thicker almost chunky like consistency. It was super tasty but not what you would likely expect by any means! Our mains took well over an hour and a half to come out. We had people in our group that ended up leaving right as their food was arriving. It was odd to many of us in the group that they kept bringing out one plate at a time for our table, but were able to serve all members of other tables sitting around us. Because of this many of us were waiting on our food while others had already finished. The food came out super slow, but don't worry the bill came out before some of us even got our food! Our server also wasn't very present, rarely did she come around to refill drinks or check on how we were doing. Overall the food was decent but not worth the wait. Would I come back...maybe? The location is convenient for a quick lunch, however the time we would likely have to spend waiting for our food may not be worth it.

    San Jose's is a wonderful Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall just north of Lake Buena Vista…read morein the southern part of Orlando. I believe they have several locations in the area, and this is a newer one with very welcoming and modern interiors. They have wonderful daily specials and various happy hour periods that extend from 2 to 10 PM, including $3 tacos from 8 until 10 PM. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa (4.5/5), which are happily refilled upon request. We tried a variety of tacos (5/5) which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The vegetarian San Jose's fajita bowl (4.5/5) was tasty and served in a generous portion that is ideal for sharing. The cheese quesadilla (5/5) hit all the fresh flavor notes without the cheese being too sharp in taste. The churros (5/5) were the perfect dessert, having a slightly crunchy exterior and softer core as you bit into it. We loved the food and atmosphere so much that we visited twice the same week while visiting the Orlando area. Service (4.5/5) was excellent on our first visit, and slightly slower on our 2nd visit, but still incredibly friendly with management checking in on customers to make people were enjoying their meals. Overall, I'd rate the food and experience a 4.5/5, but happy to round up since San Jose's is right up my alley for an ideal Mexican meal that is delicious and doesn't gouge you with prices like other restaurants tend to do. I'll gladly return on future trips to the Orlando area and will be recommending them to others, as San Jose's would crack my rotation of a Mexican restaurants I'd regularly visit if I lived locally.
