The late night spot
Dulce R.

When its 11pm or 12am or later and you are hungry or (lets be honest) probably tipsy, you need that burrito to chow down in order to sleep. Thats not me, but I know a few people. Anyhow, this always seems to be that place that has a line into the street come 1am or 2am in the morning, or like tonight 11pm and a line. They have rounded out the pricing of their items, from breakfast burritos offered all day long to carne asada ir California burritos to combination plates, torts, tacos and rolled tacos... this place has what you might like and for a decent price and quantity, considering. This is by far my favorite place but between Cotijas and here, we end up here 5 out 5 times. The food quality is consistent and the fact that breakfast is offered all day is a huge plus when you are craving and egg, bean, cheese and bacon burrito during the day. They have 3 types of salsas available to give your food that extra kick. Staff is always friendly and drive thru always busy, but it does go quicker than starbucks drive thru for the most part. They have a sign that a 3% surcharge for credir cards, so plan accordingly.

Rolled Tacos

3am taco shop run. Carne asada torta, 5 rolled tacos, Carne asada fries. Quality did not decline even in the latest of night.

the california burrito is pretty good but their carne asada fries are very dry & the cheese is not melted. there used to be an employee there who was very nice , idk if she quit but now whenever i go the employees have an attitude for no reason. their mic outside sucks which is part of the issue since you can barely understand what they're saying because of static and cutting out .

Saddest fries I've ever had. I only came here because it was a drive thru and I have hella kids & didn't want to get everyone out. This is probably cool if you're from out of town or think mayo is spicy. Outside of that, it's trash. I won't be back. Dry afffff. Had to add sour cream when I got home. Stingy with the salsa. They gave me one green one red. Got a stank look when I asked for 3 more red. (Still not enough) salsa was watery AF.

tostada
Lance N.

What can I say but this is down right comfort food, especially at 11:30pm at night. Hahaha... I don't think you can go wrong. I can say my go to is always a set of rolled tacos with guacamole and sour cream. Of course the cheese is a must too. The service was great and the ambiance was quiet. Although we were pick up to go. So I can't say how it would have been if we stayed. Enjoy

Beef Taco & Cheese Enchilida
Desiree K.

If I could give them no stars I would I came to this location with my wife and the service wasn't good at all and when we went to order the lady was very rude and didn't let me finish ordering so when I got to the window asked for a Mexican Coke. They only had canned Pepsi. My wife's taco shell was very hard and the enchilada cheese wasn't even melted and tasted like it wasn't even cooked very disappointed in this place in the service I would not recommend this to anybody do better because it's pretty sad that even my dog doesn't even wanna eat the food

Carne asada Quesadilla - doesn't come with sour cream like the photo on the menu. This is my honest review. The cool is lazy.
Jennifer M.

I have been to this location a few times I've ordered the roll tacos a few times and they've always been good. I have also ordered a Carne Asada quesadilla. The first time I didn't question it and today I drove to the drive-through and I requested Carne quesadilla and I asked what does it come with the picture in the drive-through clearly shows that the Carne Asada quesadilla comes with guacamole, pico and sour cream the lady at the window told me it doesn't come with sour cream like the picture. Is it OK? No that's fine. I just wanted to know if it came like the picture if I got the wrong thing last time, maybe they forgot the sour cream if it came with it at all so i said OK yeah I wanna get one of those. I received my food and not only is my quesadilla not cut. I have never received a quesadilla that was not cut, and it was rolled up like a burrito. when I pulled up I heard the cook in the background, through the back door, just cracking up a storm like he wasn't paying attention to his job. The food here is really good. The salsa is really good. The lady at the front window is super nice and pretty. She's an older lady, but for some reason receiving a quesadilla that's not cut really bothered me especially that I plan to eat in the car during my lunch break is crazy.

Fingernail

I found a fingernail and an avocado peel in my food. I went back for a full refund for all the food I purchased for my family. The young girl operating the cash register/window was instantly combative refusing to refund the full amount because I didn't bring everything back. I was a regular customer who would come here 2-3 times a month, and now I will never be back.

Roll tacos covered in melted foam
Abel T.

I don't know why I keep coming back here, knowing this place never improves. I decided to give them one more chance because it was New Year's, so I came in to grab some rolled tacos. Honestly, it's not hard to improve simple things, like using wax paper on trays or even just getting new trays. The fact that they still serve food on foam is beyond disappointing it literally melts on to your roll tacos --do you guys even care about your customers' health? This is ridiculous . This will be my last review of Roberto's close this place down no way people should eat here .

Carne Asada Tortilla Chips W/ Cheese
Mariah D.

I ordered the carne asada chips, and honestly, I was disappointed... especially for the price. The portion looked okay at first, but once I started eating, I realized there was barely any meat on them. Most of it was just chips with a little cheese, and guacamole, here and there. For how much they cost, I expected more carne asada. The chips themselves were fine, but the toppings were uneven and sparse. Definitely not worth the price -- I won't be back! Oh and the sour cream you see on it was from my own home!

Carne asada fries
Angelica R.

Fist time here and food was pretty good. Restaurant is clean, service was good. Ordered carne asada burrito, plain rolled tacos and carne asada fries. All were good and an agua de Jamaica. Definitely recommend.

You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

Love spending time with mom and sis. I was the one driving, and I got to choose this casual dining…read morespot. We got some chilaquiles! Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

Was visiting San Diego for the weekend and my friend recommended Kalaveras for Sunday Brunch…read more They opened at 10, and we were one of the first to get there. The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.
