Review for bar area only. Stopped in mid-week, about 8:00 PM, to continue my mom's birthday celebration with some after-dinner cocktails. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center's lot, but the handicap ramp to the front door was quite long. We were seated immediately on a bar top table adjacent to the bar. It was a loud, party-like atmosphere, but maybe only 20 patrons in total. Service was very good, the drink order came out quickly, and everything was tasty. The ladies in our group had three slushies: a Chamoyada, a Tamarindo, and a Chika Fresa ($14.95/ea.). I had an Ancestral Old Fashioned ($15.99) and was one of the better ones I've had, especially at that price. We didn't have any food on this visit, but I'd return to give their kitchen a try and see how they measure up, food wise. read more

My first time here and I rate Mariposas 3/5. The reason for this review because I feel the food was adequate. I ordered the guacamole for appetizer and ceasar salad with asada. The guac was my fav out of my food and the salad was good but the asada was quite tough. For my drink I had red wine Pinot noir. They did not have alot of wine selections only two which I felt they could have had more. The wine was good though, and they gave me a very good portion. The service was really good tho. The server we had was very professional and easy going. The ambiance was a bit too party scene and loud for me, but it's good to come to watch games and they have karaoke. The place decor is very bright and modern so that was a plus. They also have happy hour Mon-Fri and brunch on Sundays with bottomless mimosas. They have slushie margaritas that my sister said was good and many signature cocktails. I don't know if I'll come back, but it's definitely a place to have a good Time and turn up. It wasn't busy on a Saturday night, but maybe they get busy on Fridays and for brunch. Plenty of parking in lot as well. -Marshay D. read more

Was in the area and had been meaning to try this place for a while, so the Hubs and I ventured over to Mariposa. This place is located on the corner of Grand and Arrow Hwy. The building is brightly painted, which makes it stand out and beckons you to come in. Upon arrival, the restaurant was empty. There was no one at the counter, so we waited. Inside, the colors are vibrant, and Latin music wafted from the speakers. After about 5 minutes a young girl showed up and led us to our seats. The table we were given was somewhat wobbly, so we just scooted over to the next one. I immediately ordered a coffee as it was 10 in the morning and i had just come from a fasting medical appointment and was severely caffeine deprived. When the coffee arrived, it was nice and strong, but lukewarm. I only drank about half of it. Mariposa has a brunch menu for weekdays 10-2. I ordered the Enchiladas Verdes and the Hubs got the Burrito Mojado. Both were chicken. When the food arrived, I was a little disappointed. because the enchiladas looked a little dry. However, looks can be deceiving. They were actually quite moist and quite delicious. The chicken was flavorful and tender, and the sauce that covered the enchiladas was excellent. I realized later that the reason the enchiladas looked dry was because they were not smothered all over with cheese and sauce, which is how I am accustomed to seeing them. However, in this case less was more. The accompanying beans and rice, however, left much to be desired. I took one bite of each of the bland items and immediately pushed this dish aside. However, my husband, who has a much more forgiving palette, took them home to eat later. When I asked him about his burrito, which looked humongous, he stated it was delicious. Overall, the food was good; not really authentic but if you are looking for Americanized Mexican food that's not too spicy, this place will probably appeal to you. I would say its the Olive Garden of Mexican food. I'd probably return just because their drink menu looks good and I'd like to try it soon. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant, which is very nice and cute inside. They have a lot of nice TVs and they play good music and karaoke. The menu was kind of confusing, so it was hard to determine what picture went with what also, the menu is very limited they don't have a lot of things on the menu however, the drinks are very good. The food was good but nothing to rush to, but I'll probably go back for happy hour for some drinks or something like that, or watch a game great place for family, friends, and coworkers, easy parking. They have a lot of parking and the restaurant is located in an area that is near people's homes. Our waitress was very attentive and very nice. Guacamole was very very good and also the beans they were delicious. I didn't care too much for their avocado sauce on top of the enchiladas doing that great, but it was decent. read more

What an amazing experience. We were there on Friday to celebrate my cousins birthday. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated. Our server Melody was so attentive and sweet . We tried the birria plate and the mole enchiladas. Both plates so good! So much flavor. We also ordered some delicious margaritas! The ambiance was pretty chill for a Friday night. Then the mariachi showed up and it made the night feel more festive! read more

On Cinco de Mayo 2026, I had a dinner meet up with one of my wonderful fellow Yelper at Mariposas & Cantina in Covina. It was her recommendation to come here for Taco Tuesday. Thank you my friend! Initially, we thought we would get the Taco Tuesday special, but since it was a holiday, they didn't have the taco special. This place used to be Kalaveras, but has been rebranded to Mariposas. It's a huge standalone colorful restauratnt inside and out. Menu had good selections. We ordered the Molcajete and a couple drinks. I got the House Slushie virgin style that had a very nice flavor... love the combination of homemade syrup and lime juice. I don't remember what my friend got. While we were waiting for our order, we got complimentary chips and salsa. It was so good. I had to order $10 worth of salsa to-go. As for the Molajete, it was my first time trying it. This was an intriguing and interesting dish. It came with different sizzling proteins such as steak, pork, shrimp, cactus, cheese, etc with stir-fried veggies served in a stone bowl called molcajete. Rice and beans plus 3 tortillas either corn or flour came with it. We had to ask for extra tortillas since there were two of us. This dish was deliciously tasty and filling. I love the well flavored proteins and sweet veggies. I didn't think I would get so full, but I did. Price was about $40+ because it serves at least 2 people. Definitely something that can be shared. It was worth it. Our server was a really nice young lady who was attending to several tables. She did the best she could. Kudos to her. Thank you Miss for the attention and care. We'll have to come back for Taco Tuesday next time. I heard it's a steal for amazing tacos. Thank you Mariposas & Cantina! See you again soon. What are you waiting for? Come give Mariposas a try! read more

Stopped in at this restaurant for Taco Tuesday at around 3:30pm last Tuesday. It was pretty empty but we wanted some tacos & wanted to enjoy happy hour. The person who took our order was not friendly at all. She only spoke spanish, and my spanish isn't great but I was able to get by with what I wanted to order. We ordered our tacos and drinks , even though it was empty she took a while to bring everything out. The taco meat was so dry and tasted as it had been old and reheated. I didn't understand if it was Taco Tuesday and only 3:30pm how the meat wouldn't be fresh. Super disappointing. We ate them anyway because we were hungry. The margaritas were really good & the special on the 1/2 yard was good. The whole time we were there the lady who took our order never asked if we needed anything. We finished our drinks and left and ended up going somewhere else. I was looking forward to trying this place since we live close by but sadly I was disappointed and won't return. read more

I went to mariposas for Father's Day and had a really nice time overall. The restaurant is decorated really beautifully with colorful butterfly accents, which makes it feel warm and welcoming. Parking was also easy and convenient, which was a big plus. The menu isn't very big, but everything we ordered tasted great. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the prices were very fair. The drinks were also well made, and our waitress was friendly. There was even a mariachi band playing for Father's Day, which made the whole experience feel fun and festive. The only issue was the restroom. The trash cans were full and there were no paper towels, and even after we let the staff know, it wasn't taken care of while we were there. Even with that, I would still recommend Mariposas. The good food, great drinks, big portions, and affordable prices make it worth going. If they improve the restroom situation, it would easily be a 5-star place for me. For now, I'd give it 4 stars. read more

Keep giving this place a chance and end up regretting it shortly after. Went in last night, waited about 8 minutes, no acknowledgement or anything. Was about to sit myself and a girl with wavy hair comes finally. I asked if they were short staffed for the night. She said "someone came in late" and I said ok... the girl in a rude manner asked if I wanted to be seated still and sarcasticlu smirks. Completely bad vibes. I asked if she would like to yes and again continues with her sarcastic mannerism. It was so bad my daughter started to walk out. If they dont want customers simply don't open up. Why hire bad workers? read more

Asada tacos were really really good. The quality and cook on the Asada was amazing. The tacos were $5/each so I wasn't really feeling that. But, the minute I bit in them, I was very impressed. The asada was grilled to a nice medium and Smokey. The guac and accompanying salsa were great. We asked for a side of salsa verde and it was served hot. I've never had a side of salsa served hot w/ tacos. I enjoyed it! read more

Huge fan of Mariposas here- The butterfly-emblazoned restaurant has quickly vaulted to the very peak of Mexican cuisine for my Michoacana wife and I. After scribing a two or three prior reviews about their in-house service/ambiance and food, today's review pertains solely with their CATERING. We hired Mariposas to prepare 45 of their mouth watering Quesabirrias Tacos for our holiday party on the 20th. Assistant Manager MAYRA was superlative throughout the two-wk process! Though they can typically handle most catering requests within a 3-day window, we'd placed our order with a fortnight's notice...just to be extra careful. Manager JESSE was businesslike and efficient in my two brief interactions with him, but Mayra was awesome throughout. Fielding multiple phone calls as we played "telephone ping pong" w/ the manager to helping us load our car w/ the multiple 18" X 26" roasting pans and various quarts of minced onions y cilantro and unctuous beefy consomme that comprised our bounty, Mayra was truly the "MVP" of this order! And the million-dollar question- What did our guests think?! In a spread that included marbled prime rib, double glazed Virginia hams and smoked turkeys, it was the MARIPOSAS QUESABIRRIAS TACOS that sailed offve the warming pans! Entrust Mariposas with your next catering order- You'll be delighted!! read more

Mariposa Restaurant in the city of Covina. Love the aesthetic of the place, very instagrammable! Came in for their Taco Tuesday deal. Servers are nice and friendly though a little slow. For the price of $1.99 a taco I would say it's a pretty good deal. Tacos are delicious ! I love their pickled onion. Just FYI not all of the meat in the menu are included in their Taco Tuesday deal. Will definitely come back to try the rest of their menu. read more

We discovered this restaurant on Instagram, and it looked like a great place to celebrate our daughter's birthday, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, after reading some of the recent reviews, I have to agree with the concerns regarding customer service. We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and waited at the hostess stand to check in for our reservation. It took quite some time before anyone acknowledged us. Eventually, a waitress approached and quickly asked how she could help, but she began walking away while I was still explaining that we had a reservation. Throughout our visit, there were several small issues that reflected a lack of customer service. The staff often seemed rushed when the restaurant wasn't busy, and when our waitress was unavailable, other employees appeared confused when we asked for something as simple as water or another drink. The most concerning issue occurred when my friend's meal contained a piece of wire that appeared to have come from a metal scrubber. We immediately brought it to our waitress's attention. We understand that mistakes happen, but we expected a manager to come to our table, apologize, and address the situation personally. Simply removing the item from the bill did not feel like an adequate response. To be fair, the food itself was very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. However, great food alone does not make up for poor service and a lack of attention to a serious food safety concern. Lastly, just because gratuity is automatically included for larger parties does not mean customer service should suffer. We came in excited to celebrate a special occasion and left feeling disappointed by the overall experience. read more

I went to try out the food and watched the tribute Selena show. I had a great time. It's a loud atmosphere. They have a lot of music playing loud, so if you enjoy listening to Music while you're having some food is a great place the show which was at tribute to Selena was great. The performer did a great job, singing the song. So Selena we had a great time. Unfortunately had to leave a little early before the show was over. But I would go again. The food was great to. I got the enchilada plate and it was delicious. I do recommend this restaurant. Just be prepare they play loud music. If you enjoy listening to music, you will have a great time. read more

Took my mother for dinner to try their Pozole tacos on a Monday evening. The atmosphere was a bit quiet and only 2 other tables were occupied. We were sat right away and our order was taken almost immediately. I asked if they served chips and salsa and the server said only upon request.. so make sure you request your chips and salsa for the table, it does not come automatically. We ordered a guacamole for the table and pozole tacos. If you've never trod pozole tacos, they are actually pretty good. read more

Already didn't have the greatest experience last time but decided to give it another try for the brunch buffet. When we went previously it said brunch was about $28 and $38 for unlimited mimosas. We got there and they had crossed out the $28 option. I asked one of the girls why it was taken out and that we didn't want the mimosas as we don't drink. She said that's fine but still one price not accommodating at all especially knowing it's a new change. Not coming back this place sucks! We went straight to fonda don chon much better food anyways. read more

The décor at MARIPOSAS is beautiful, but the service was extremely disappointing. Our waitress handed us menus and walked away without a greeting, without water, and without even acknowledging us again. We waited about 10 minutes with no check‑in at all. The restaurant wasn't busy, so there's no excuse for the lack of attention. The staff seemed distracted and uninterested. The menu also felt basic and didn't match the upscale look of the place. read more

The food was pretty good, my wife and I booth had the birria tacos, tasty but the meat was a little tough, like ropa vieja. Parking is easy and the decor was ok, looked set up more for a nightclub/bar than formal restaurant but still ok. Service was really good, they were very attentive, but the offered my wife the happy hour discount for a margarita and she got one but after we left noticed they charged us full price. Not sure we'll go back. read more

The service was amazing as soon as my date and I came up the staff was friendly and ready to take our order. The food was amazing I went for happy hour. My date wanted a classic margarita and I ordered the pepino slushee! So delicious, my date stated the margarita was missing something. The food we ordered was the loaded carne asada fries and the flavors weee delicious and I enjoyed the fact that the fries were Cajun. We also ordered the tacos dorados de papa and it was missing a spicier salsa. Besides that everything was delicious. The ambiance is chill and it was a bit quite but the music Spotify list was popping. We will for sure come back for brunch in the weekend. read more

Came here to watch the lakers playoff game, called ahead to see if they had it playing, and it was confirmed. Got here and on one TV, no big deal. I asked the server and hostess to put it on near my table, which they did. Mid way through the meal and in the 4th quarter they change the channel to the news... on every dam TV. I can deal with my drinks taking a while, and I can deal with the food taking a while... but this was a dumb experience. I wish I had never came and stuck to Yard house or BJ's. Taco Tuesday special is not a thing here as of today (Tuesday) on Cinco De Mayo LOL For the record the food was good, but this place is ran by a bunch of idiot's. Missed the ENTIRE 4th quarter because someone put the dam news on EVERY channel. I will never come back her and will do my best to prevent anyone from coming here. read more

Mariposas (Covina) offered largely portioned, delicious food. Its staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. And its ambiance is enchanting. Beautiful murals aside, I sat below a glass blue ceiling surrounded with greenery and adorable butterfly art. Mariposas (Covina) was packed with happy, chatting customers. I ordered the "Pasta A La Diabla" ($20.49). The dish is humongous! This pasta is covered in creamy chipotle sauce, crumbly cotija cheese, chili flakes, and plump shrimp. This cheesy, creamy pasta is not too spicy; rather, its heat resembles the peppers you'd shake onto a pizza slice. It's delicious!! In addition, I arrived during Taco Tuesday, so I selected two Asada/Beef Tacos ($1.99 each). I enjoyed its fresh flavor and quality, clean ingredients. Its tiny soft tortilla also tasted very fresh. The overall portion is rather small; however, it's a good deal for the low Taco Tuesday price. (Quick Note: Without Taco Tuesday, tacos cost $4.95. And importantly, Taco Tuesday does not include all the tacos. Taco Tuesday includes: Asada/Beef Taco, Pollo/Chicken Taco, Barbacoa/Braised Beef Taco, Chicharron Taco, and Carnitas/Pork Taco.) I arrived at Mariposas (Covina) on Tuesday (around 6:55PM). As mentioned, the place is shockingly busy. The parking lot is also humongous, so there's plenty of easy parking. I approached the counter, and staff kindly wrote my name. Then, I sat in the waiting area. For a "Table for One," I waited 12 minutes and 16 seconds before being seated. The entire process felt very professional and comfortable. I enjoyed the plush, comfy seats in the waiting area. Also, the location felt very well-ventilated and airy despite it being extremely crowded and bustling. I sat at a very clean, shiny table. And I was served by a very knowledgeable, charming, and helpful staff member (Gianina). Gianina took my order and helped explained the menu. I noticed that soda or iced tea wasn't listed on the menu, and Gianina quickly explained that soda & iced tea cost $4 with unlimited refills. Gianina thoroughly and enthusiastically answered any questions. I ordered the "Pasta A La Diabla" ($20.49), two Asada/Beef Tacos ($1.99 each on Taco Tuesday), and a Razzberry Iced Tea ($4). All the food arrived in eight minutes and 15 seconds. Very fast! Strangely enough, the drink arrived much later than the entrees. The Razzberry Iced Tea arrived in 14 minutes and 14 seconds. As mentioned prior, the meal tasted delicious. The tacos had good ingredients. The pasta was tasty and huge. The pasta's garlic bread is also tasty! And the Razzberry Iced Tea is refreshing. I happily enjoyed several free refills of the beverage, and I appreciated how Gianina offered to send me a to-go cup with another refill. It was also very simple to wave Gianina down and get additional assistance. It's absolutely wonderful how Mariposas (Covina) has such amazing, helpful staff. Ambiance is festive and upbeat. The music is not overwhelming; rather, the bouncy beat just meshes well with the lovely environment. There are even televisions showing the soccer game with captions in Espanol. The vibe felt very fun while still maintaining a cozy family friendly atmosphere. If I were to nitpick my experience, I'd say that the food's plating was a little messy. I had to grab a napkin to clean the plate's edges. Also, the plump shrimp in my pasta tasted like they were boiled for a little too long. The shrimps lacked any seasonings or taste which felt strange in such a flavorful pasta. Also, Mariposas' floors can sometimes get splotchy quickly from tiny bits of spilled liquids. Despite all that, Mariposas (Covina) does so many things right! It truly feels like Mariposas (Covina) flows seamlessly. Management deserves a huge round of applause! Although I enjoyed the old Kalaveras, Mariposas (Covina) is leaps ahead in offering a stellar dining experience. To my utter delight, I had a near perfect experience. Wait times are long, but I happily recommend! 5 out of 5. read more

PROS: Lots of easy parking, beautiful murals painted inside, stylish seating, current Spanish music videos on display, decent Happy Hour menu. CONS: hit or miss service. Our waitress would disappear & was hard to flag down to place our orders. She only spoke Spanish which made things challenging, luckily one person in our party was fluent so we relied on her for communication. There was another waitress who helped our party of three & she was fantastic. Good food but nothing stood out as different from the previous restaurant. ADVICE: go for Happy Hour & don't expect too much. read more

Food, service was amazing!! The only thing was I took my elderly parents for dinner and the music was really loud. That's fun for happy hour, not for dinner service. That's is my only beef with the place. Food and staff were great read more

We came by here on a Friday for family dinner and had a good time! This used to be Kalaveras, but apparently Mariposas is a rebrand of the Kalaveras brand per our server. The interior and decor is pretty much similar with some modifications. The menu is compressed and had plenty of options from and kids menu items. We were a big party and sat on the right of the restaurant. One downside and difficulty we had was the tiny font on the pricing on the menu, but not a big deal. Everyone in our party ordered a variety of different entrees and everyone pretty happy with their food. The servers were kind and helpful the entire time. The restaurant has a plethora of TVs to watch the nightly sports games. That is a plus for me! We started off with the nachos appetizers and it was a nice hefty portion for the table. I personally ordered the Quesabirria Tacos. ($16.45) It came with 3 big portions of tacos and side of chili oil and consume for dipping those delicious tacos! You can also order a side of rice and/or beans if you like. I cosign on trying the Quesabirria tacos for sure. It's validates the price point and the generous portions will make you satisfied. The consommé was flavorful and chili oil has a nice spicy kick to it. The highlight of the night was the Mariachi band playing music and various tables and they were very good. The entertainment was fun and memorable and our family had a nice night out with good food. We'd come back again! read more

Drinks are good. Food is not great. I had the pescado Jarocho and it's a plain/bland tilapia fillet with a plain red sauce over it. I was expecting it be cooked in a different way. Perhaps fire-grilled. It was served with tostones made of plantains. It just didn't taste like a Mexican dish. read more

The service was very slow and inattentive; the food was good but some of it was unacceptable, like the rice was hard, over cooked, as well as the churro dessert (which was supposed to come with ice cream but could not be found). Overall, my guest and I had a good time but that was due to each other's company. For as slow as it was, food and service should've been at least 4-stars, not 2! read more

Stopped in on a rainy Friday night at the old Kalavera which is Mariposa now. The place was pretty dead, but it's after Christmas and rainy. Sat at the bar, the bartender girls were nice, took our order. They have happy hour til 7 pm on a Friday night, NICE!! We ordered a couple of draft beers, my Pacifico was flat, but drank it anyways. We ordered chicken wings which were good, asada fries, delicious and the regular chips and salsa. Well, the chips were store bought, cold and had a greasy after taste to it, the salsa, NO flavor, no spice, no nothing. The place was like an ice box. I had to wear my jacket the whole time. Ordered another beer and we were out. I give a 3 which is for an average place. May come back just for the happy 3-7, I can be happy for $5. Beers and $7.99 appetizers. read more

We were excited to come to Mariposas to celebrate my partners birthday and enjoy their breakfast brunch. Unfortunately it didn't work out. We arrived a few mins after 11am and there were only 2 other small parties that were sat Pro: the only pro at this place is that we got sat right away Cons: we go set away and in the next 20 mins we weren't offer any water coffee or type of drinks. Not sure if this place offers complimentary chips and salsa for the table as it was never brought to us. We were interested in the brunch buffet but there was no sign of any kind of spread. We decided to just walk out and they caught us as we were walking out to apologize. But we made up our minds to go to another establishment read more

Interesting concept. We were hungry late at night around 10 PM and decided to get some Mexican food. Too cold for tacos trucks but realized that Mariposas was still open late night. Walking in there were strobe lights and a DJ playing loud music, which was something strange to walk into considering there were two separate older couples, a solo guy sitting at the bar and one table of maybe 8 people who looked like they just graduated high school. Just overall weird with everything clashing together. No one was dancing, the DJ seemed like far too much, and the over all ambiance just came off strange. The service was not extraordinary either. Ordered waters to start while looking at the menu and the server brought them and placed them at the very edge of the table which was far out of reach from the sunken in booth. They only checked in once and quickly while passing by and when it was time to pay the bill (which all the food was clearly finished for a while) it was hard to get their attention. The food was the only thing that saved the experience or else I would never consider going back based off the atmosphere and service. The Asada nachos were delicious and a big portion with plenty of toppings to scoop up. We also got a couple tacos the chicharron and a fish taco both of which were very flavorful and decent size. Ill give it another chance based off the food quality alone. read more

Would definitely recommend this restaurant. vibes are top notch food straight fire service on point keep it up guys 5 stars

I came here as a party of 5 with a group of my gals for a birthday. Few things to consider, if you're looking for yummy food and horrible service, then this is your place, don't come thirsty because they don't won't refill your waters, check your bill! It took forever to get anything... trying to get the attention of the server was a chore in itself. To start, we ordered guacamole. We thought it was coming straight from the tree but to our surprise they had just forgotten about us. When we're able to finally get a waitress because I asked for one, the alcoholic drinks were tummy. The food came out timely and was hella good. I'll give this place that much. BUT, when it come to customer service, all bad! Out waitress or anyone else in the establishment asked if we needed refills. I literally had to get up and get a pitcher of water and refilled our drinks. We asked our waitress for boxes, not sure what happened but she never came back. 20 minutes later someone tried picking up our plates, we said we had been waiting for boxes. When those finally arrived, it took another 20 minutes for the bill and only because was asked. When getting the bill, they charged us an 18% gratuity fee for parties for 6 or more (we were party of 5). When I asked for it be removed, I was told by the lady that we got the fee because our bill was over $200, she pointed to a sign that applied for Sunday brunch. When I told her that, she said it applied to everyday so I asked for the menu where that was indicated. She said was going to call the waitress. She came back and said she couldn't remove it because it applies to everyday. I continued to ask for the menu, she then said well the waitress was coming back and we said okay we'd wait, she walked away and came back indicating she'd take of the fee. SHADY!! I consider myself a very good tipper but the service here was so horrendous. We came to celebrate a birthday and we had to sing in Silence with a left over taco since we couldn't find anyone to order dessert. read more

Sunday brunch, extensive selection of food and mimosas to enjoy. Omelette and dessert bar and hand made tortillas. Live Mariachi music. Excellent service by everyone. I recommend making a reservation before going to secure your table, the place gets packed. read more

I get places like this try to cut corners by having premade mixed drinks on tap. But at least do some quality inspections through out the day. Twice now that i've gotten their house margarita only for it to taste like shit. (Some places do have great house margaritas just fyi). Last time we had a kind enough waitress to fix our margarita pitcher. This time however the bartender went out of her way to not let that same waitress fix my awful tasting margarita. She said and I quote "the best I can do is add water to it". The waitress even did a taste test and confirmed it tasted awful but bartender said it was fine so i had to drink the awful margarita she served me. Not sure why they have so many bottles on display when they can't even be bothered to mix something as simple as a margarita when ordered. Nonetheless don't come here expecting a quality drink. read more

If you're looking for a place that actually delivers on both Taco Tuesday and brunch, Mariposas Restaurant & Cantina is it. Taco Tuesday here is unlike anywhere else. They bring your tacos to the table with your protein of choice -- and then you head over to the taco bar to dress them exactly how you want. It's the best of both worlds: freshly prepared tacos plus full control over toppings. It turns a simple taco night into something interactive and fun. Weekend brunch is seriously on point. The food is delicious and feels authentic, not watered down for a buffet crowd. And let's talk about the chile rellenos -- it's rare to find a good one at a buffet, let alone a fresh one. These were legit. Light batter, flavorful filling, and clearly not sitting under a heat lamp all morning. They also have a taco bar at brunch (yes, please), ceviche, and just about anything else you'd hope to see when you show up hungry. This is not a "grab a plate and be polite" kind of brunch. This is a bring stretchy pants situation. If you want generous portions, real flavor, and a fun, lively vibe -- this spot is worth it. read more
