My experience was excellent. I tried the Molcajete Surf & Turf Taco and the Mi Ranchero Prime Taco,…read moreand both were outstanding. I give them a 10/10 for quality, flavor, and texture. The meat was perfectly cooked, the ingredients were fresh, and the taste was amazing. The restaurant was also very clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I also want to recognize Javier, the cashier who assisted me. He was very friendly and professional, took the time to explain the menu and all the special offers, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I give him a 10/10 for customer service. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves tacos. I'll definitely be coming back!

We've always wanted to try Kalaveras but never gave them a shot for one reason or another. While in…read moreLong Beach, we finally decided to take the plunge and give them a try. Since we were at the convention center across the street, Kalaveras is really convenient if you're around downtown Long Beach. We were seated immediately and had our orders fairly quickly. We had a long day of walking around, so we cooled off with a Mojito and La Katrina mocktail. I ordered the Kala Burrito while wifey ordered the 1 Enchilada and 1 Chile Relleno combination. Basic chips and salsa were brought out while we waited. Our waitress accidentally forgot my wife's mocktail and brought us two Mojitos. She immediately realized her mistake and gave us the second Mojito for free while she went back for the mocktail. Honestly that stood out as really good service. Naturally a free drink sounds good to most everyone, but the fact that she recognized her mistake and rectified it as soon as it happened speaks volumes of her professionalism. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time for being a pretty busy Friday night. My wife's combination plate was great with the Enchilada de Mole being the standout. My burrito was huge in size and very filling (I could've done without the fries in the burrito but that's just a personal preference and no biggie). Kalaveras can be slightly pricey but it's a good place to get some grub and drinks after a long day on your feet. Catch up with friends, go on date night, or have a family outing - Kalaveras is the spot for any occasion! They're open late, have lunch specials, daily specials, Saturday & Sunday brunch, happy hour, etc. They also offer a complimentary photo card if you want to commemorate your outing!

We had family in town and needed a last minute reservation on a Sunday for 12 people. The qualifications: AC and delicious food. Panxa Cocina fit all of the above and the entire squad left the restaurant raving about their experience. Our crew shared a bit of everything fried squash, queso, ceviche, enchiladas, and their verde chilaquiles with over easy eggs and chicken. Each of these items were delicious, but I'd return for the ceviche and chilaquiles. The ceviche was a delicious mix of sweet and salty. Their tortilla chips are made fresh in-house and paired perfectly with the fresh cut fish. I was also impressed by their cocktails. With family in town, we visited a number of fan-favorite restaurants across the coastline. Panxa stole the show for best mixed drink: the watermelon margarita. Excited to live so close and make this a consistent haunt.

I came here this past Saturday evening for a friend's birthday dinner…read more The service was exceptional. We pre-ordered our main dishes, and the staff knew exactly who received each meal without needing name cards at our seats. The atmosphere was fantastic, versatile enough for both a fancy night out and a casual dinner. I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the dish was phenomenal. Considering the high quality of the food and service, it was well worth the price. This is easily my favorite location, and I look forward to returning next time I am in Los Angeles.

WARNING: Please carpool. There is only $30 valet available…read more My first encounter with Javier's was in Cabo San lucas, Mexico. SInce I have been to Newport beach and Century City locations. However this location was not a nice experience. And with this early evening out experience, it was the first time I have ever pondered that tipping culture may be outdated and obsolete. I have really received better service from Denny's and iHop. When this is supposed to be fine dining I do expect fine service with it too. The food: It was good, but I order the same thing at all locations, the lobster enchiladas. So thumbs up with the consistency at the California locations. I do think the Cabo location has a little extra twist of tasty. Drinks: I don't remember them being this lackluster at locations. The restaurant is so beautiful and has a nice ambiance to it. It makes you feel like you have traveled somewhere outside of downtown L.A. but that is where the magic ends. Our waitress felt very matter of fact with us. She wasn't outgoing and welcoming. I wanted to try something different and was going to ask her for a suggestion, but she really made me feel like she just wanted my order and don't bother her with anything else. When it was time to collect the plates from the table, it was weird. The men helping to clear the table never said anything like excuse me when reaching across us. I am only 5'3 so me being chest to table is pretty normal. One of them came too close for comfort to my chest when reaching across trying to clear the tables. Slow down and pay attention to where you are reaching. At the end of dinner, we never even looked at the dessert menu because at that point we were just ready to go. Upon departure, we had to stand and wait for our vehicles. All 3 of use drove in separate cars. So, we spent almost what we paid for meals in parking. Please Javier group, figure this location out or give it up to a restaurant who is going to deliver food and service as beautiful as the place itself.

Wow, what an awesome place. My wife and I loved everything we had. Place is pretty small and was…read more100% capacity the entire time we were there. We went during an off time so peak times I would expect a wait. We really blew our diets but it was worth it. We shared a small order of fries topped with chorizo, chipotle mayo, crumbled cheese, and raw jalapeno. It was soooo good and the small order was perfect for two without ruining your appetite. For my entree I had the Navajo taco which was a giant fry bread topped with red chile beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and chipotle aioli. This was a true masterpiece of flavors. The fry bread was like a savory funnel cake flavor. Crunchy exterior and fluffy cloud like interior. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. My wife had hers with ground beef, potato, and green chile. They had a lot of different protein choices. Should have stopped at this point but they had a pumpkin pie filling stuffed sopapilla. It was made to order so it took awhile and came out steaming hot. It was served with two scoops of ice cream so it's perfect for sharing. It was pure heaven and we devoured it. Service was great but these ladies were doing everything. Taking orders, cleaning tables, packing up orders, putting final touches on foods, washing dishes. It was crazy yet they always kept a smile on their faces through the chaos. My wife and I cannot wait to try more items on the menu! Worth the drive!

Wanted a New Mexican meal so took the 90 minute drive to LA Mirada…read more Smaller than I expected and 3/4 full on a Sunday afternoon. We had the green chile and pork, a traditional dish. It was okay, but definitely not Hatch chilies. Hatch chilies are now in season so they could have used them. The sopapillas were just like in Santa Fe so 3 stars were raised to 4. I guess a flight to New Mexico is in order if you want a real New Mexican meal. Not worth the long drive, but they tried.

I loved the black and white decor and dim lighting. The service was stellar. Our waitress was polite and attentive. She checked in on us often, laughed with us and assisted us in making the best food on the menu. She packed up our leftovers to go. The bartender and the staff that brought our food out had great attitudes. Now the food... the food was so freaking delicious. We order birria empanadas and Cameron Taquitos as an appetizer. The Cameron Taquitos were my favorite they were so delicious. For dinner we order the chicken and steak fajitas tender flavorful and delicious dish. The chicken and steak enchiladas looked good as well. The black bean were on another level. I generally dont like black beans but Diosas recipe took the cake. Overall we had a blast, thank you Diosa for taking care of us. I will definitely be back.

The carne asada was too tough and chewy so don't order it. The smoked guacamole great, the empanadas great, the drinks great.

I hate to leave a negative review!…read more First time here. Noticed a few people sitting with no plates on the table. I didn't mind to wait. Up until the waitress came. She kept rolling her eyes at every question we had. We switched our minds and she didn't hide the fact that bothered her. It was so unpleasant and uncomfortable I got up and ended cancelling as soon as she walked away. She got mad & admitted that we couldn't make up our minds. That's wild! You are a waitress people are going to have questions about the menu! If you do not like waitressing you are just going to make the business look bad even if the food is good. The service is what also matters. I left hungry and mad. Smh It takes a lot for me to become this upset to come and leave reviews as negative like this to impact a small business.

Do you have a restaurant woven into your family's history to the point that it feels more like a…read morememory you can step back into rather than just a place to eat? For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful. I'll be coming here until the wheels fall off. EL RANCHITO ALL STARS!!! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo
