    The service was delightful. Love there but one get one free Monday and Tuesday Specials for combinations only. We ordered two tacos beef and chicken with rice and beans. Tacos and enchiladas with right and beans. Christian made sure we had everything we needed. He provided great service. We were able to watch the Dodger Game at our table. Some people were in the bar cheering on their favorite team. This place is a Burbank favorite.

    Granada's is amazing! It's been one of my family's favorite restaurants since I was a little kid. We would come here with our entire family, including aunts and uncles, and have an incredible meal. Over the years Granada's has never disappointed us! The menu is extensive and you can get things as a combo meal or à la carte. They also have a special lunch menu each day. You really can't go wrong and the quality of food is always superb. One of my favorite things to order is the guacamole tacos. They are always fresh, a great serving, and delicious. Easy to adapt for allergies and the servers are always kind and considerate to food restrictions. For those who enjoy a drink with their meal, they also have a lot of of alcoholic beverages on their menu. The margaritas, especially the spicy margarita, are always a fan favorite. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very homey and welcoming. You feel comfortable right away and will be welcomed by kind servers and staff. It feels like family. There are a lot of booths inside the restaurant that can fit small parties to large parties for multiple families. There's also outdoor seating when the weather is nice on their patio. Lots of spaces in the parking lot too, which is super convenient. Granada's is a Burbank staple and I'm glad to see them still going after all these years! Would recommend if you're in the mood for some great Mexican food and around the area.

    We love coming here for a neighborhood friendly Mexican restaurant. The bar makes great margaritas and you can catch the games on one of their many TVs located throughout the restaurant. On Mondays and Tuesdays you can get a B1G1 on any of the #1-#12 combos after 3PM. They also have lunch specials. Servers are attentive and friendly.

    Granada is a great local Mexican Restaurant that serves good food at reasonable prices. The bartender does a great job of making sure there's plenty of alcohol and the servers all make sure you have a great time. The restaurant is clean, festive with quiet music and has several running daily specials like the Monday/Tuesday buy 1 combo get one free. The restaurant is what you would expect in a local Mexican restaurant, the regular eating area isn't huge, bar area has Bar Top as well as booth and tables along with happy hour specials!

    Took my family here on Friday night! If you love margaritas these are the best in town for sure! Their bean and cheese burrito with green sauce is a killer! There bbq wings so tasty! The servers Are friendly and great service! Come on down and get your margarita!

    I was searching for a new taco Tuesday, Mexican bar hang-out spot. (I burned my last one, enough said). I was looking for old school, parking, good tacos. I had plans to try a few more in the neighborhood but I've cancelled them; this is it! Thanks to Isidro at the bar, Vicente on the speakers and the heat in the salsa! Crispy beef tacos with guacamole are excellent. See you next week!

    Chips and dip. Bean dip is BOMB!

    Fantastic service, amazing food! Always a go to place for the family and friends! Nostalgic and homey energy.

    I'm not going to lie. I wanted pizza but my human was not listening as usual and suggested we eat at Granada. A restaurant he had driven past for years. Well okay I said. This place is very old but the prices are 2030. Definitely a family owned establishment with plenty of regulars that were on a first time basis. Staff seemed like they have been there for years even with a younger new generation helping out. Their menu was extensive. Plenty of choices to please any palette. Most of them dipped well into the mid $20 range. Unfortunately I'm a picture person. I like to see the pictures that match the description. I went with the fajitas that set me back just under $30.00. They paired it with rice and beans and a huge helping of guacamole. Very delicious and enough for two. My human ordered a chimichanga with carnitas. It too came with rice and beans and more guacamole. It set us back about $25. One thing I noticed that was decently prices were their caldos. $7-$10 for menudo, albondigas or chicken tortilla. Next time for sure. Service was okay. A little slow to start because they didn't know we were waiting in the lobby. Probably because they were all in the bar watching the Chiefs win. We were not the only ones who waited. A few parties after us were ignored too. Even with the cameras on display. Everyone gets chips and salsa along with bean dip. That stuff was off the hook. Anyways it's a great restaurant. A little pricey but good. Plenty of free parking. Big screen TVs for football.

    I have passed by this place for YEARS and I finally got a chance to experience it. I was not disappointed. The chips and salsa to start were very fresh and the salsa was homemade. The service was great. I did not catch our serves name but he was so sweet and very attentive. I couldn't decide on what margarita to get and he suggested the pineapple and I am so glad he did. I got it blended, but they have both options of on the rocks or blended. The ambiance is very intimate which isn't a bad thing at all. Sometimes people just want to have a nice conversation with friends so this place was perfect. Since this was my first time I went basic and got two hard shell tacos. One chicken and one beef and they were delicious. They were super thick and full of meat. I will definitely be going back.

    I stopped by Kalaveras while visiting the Jackalope Art Fair in Downtown Burbank. After walking…read morearound in the heat, I wanted somewhere with seating, shade, and A/c. I had passed by this restaurant before but had never been curious enough to actually stop in. This time their drink menu advertised outside caught my attention so I figured "hey, why not?" From the moment I walked in i was trying to figure out whether I liked the atmosphere or not. The music was excellent, but the décor took me a second to process. It felt like an 80s lounge crashed into a neon Día de los Muertos inspired art gallery. It's most definitely not a quiet, cozy restaurant. It has more of a loud, colorful, party style personality. I was seated promptly by a kind hostess but I wasn't attended to by a waiter for nearly 10 minutes. Once my waiter did come by he was kind, quick, and professional. Now, I'm going to be honest.. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican restaurant food, so I didn't have the highest expectations. I ordered the potato taquitos, a Jarrito Loco made with watermelon purée, vodka instead of tequila, and chamoy on the rim, plus chiles toreados and one carne asada taco. Laugh all you want, but I was half expecting the food to come out looking like a cafeteria lady had splattered it onto a plate... I was genuinely impressed by the presentation instead. The potato "taquitos" were bigger than I expected so don't let the "itos" fool you. They were crispy, flavorful, filling, and honestly so delicious. Those get a 5/5 from me. My drink was also incredible. It was refreshing, especially with how hot the day was, and had just the right amount of alcohol. The presentation was so cute I almost felt bad ruining it. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in the Burbank area -- 5/5. The carne asada taco wasn't as impressive as the potato taquitos, so I'd give that a 3/5. The chile toreado was definitely spicy, it just needed to be salted a little more but otherwise no complaints! I need to remind myself not to be too quick to judge because I was genuinely surprised by this place. The décor wasn't fully my personal style, but the food and drinks more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the potato taquitos and drinks.

Never coming back . terrible service , terrible sever

    I forgot exactly how I first stumbled upon Cafe de Olla, but I've come here with my family a few…read moretimes, and we've definitely decided this location is better than the Monrovia one. First, their cafe de olla is absolutely delicious. This remains one of the only places where I genuinely enjoy ordering cafe de olla. Second, their food is incredible. They serve excellent portions, everything tastes fresh, and the food is just so good. I've had their taquitos and chilaquiles, and both were delicious. The only downside is that every time I've come, there has usually been a bit of a wait, especially because the restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating. The inside is cute, but small, so we usually end up sitting outside. This is where their Monrovia location does have the advantage because it has much more space. Parking can also be tricky. Good luck finding a spot close enough where you don't have to walk far. We usually end up parking in the residential area around the corner. That said, the staff are wonderful and always try to be as accommodating as possible despite how busy they are. Highly recommend this place if you're okay with possibly waiting a bit for seating. The food and cafe de olla are worth it.

I got to taste my friend's huevos divorciados and the sauce was so delicious. My machaca was different than what I have had at other restaurants, a little on the dry side, but I enjoyed it. Loved the rice and beans it came with! Another highlight was the Cafe de Olla itself! I think I downed like 4 cups of it, it was so delicious. Service here was fantastic. Highly recommend!

We finally got there, today, 4pm (on a Saturday) and the food and the staff were excellent. We ordered the Queso fundido for appetizer and as long as you're in the mood for bubbly cheese and chorizo, this is great with chips, but they also give you a choice of flour or corn tortillas with it, as well. For main, we tried the Molcajete, which we haven't had, anywhere, since we lived down in O.C. It turned out to be better than what we had in O.C., from the sauce to the meats and cheese to the peppers. Also, their chicken tortilla soup was good (as a side with the Molcajete) with lots of veggies in it. The staff were wonderful, though.. From the first waiter who allowed us to change from a table to a booth to our waiter, Jose, who was friendly and looked after us (also quick on getting back to us, every time). And a special thanks to Yennie (possibly, spelled with a J', if so, "lo siento") who also helped us and even when *someone* (me) had a party foul with a margarita, she quickly helped out and was super nice about it. After a trip to the dentist (for a crown replacement) and a long week, everyone at Don Cuco's allowed us to relax and the food (and margaritas ;-) ) made it perfect.

Chips were warm and hot out of the fryer. Salsa is on hot side, not mild. Both free refill and we had to stop ourselves after refill because we haven't gotten to the food yet. Ok for the food - Meatballs in soup had lots of cumin, I liked it but if you hate cumin then skip it. - Strong margarita drink that my gf got drunk off of one lol they sure load it up - Zarapes, one chicken one beef. beef was really good. - Lobster Enchiladas: ok i have a lot to say about this one, it was different, but not in a bad way. The garlic rice and black bean side was really yummy, better than the sides on the zarapes. I ordered it because i needed something different and yes it was. Now there is one problem with this dish and its that they don't use real lobster, its a imitation crab/lobster meat like product shaped differently and made from fish and nowhere on the menu says that which is not ethical business practice. That said it didn't taste bad but its not real. Overall I would comeback, overall the food was good but not groundbreaking. The Mixed alcohol drinks is definitely get your moneys worth and is better than the other place across the street. Steak is good for the fajita like dishes, Seafood dish tastes good but not real lobster chunks, i would probably try the regular fish next time.

A fun fact, they have a large table that has been in the family for decades. They offer both inside and patio seating. That means your dog is welcome. The mole is outstanding. They have 4 kinds to choose from. It is rich, complex, and full of authentic flavor. The chicken tacos were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. They are plastered on top of hand made tortillas with a pico de gallo. Order the flight of mole and pour it on top. The location is great and makes for a fun dining experience, especially if you're looking for something a little different from the usual Mexican restaurant. Their tequilla bar makes for a fun experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. However service is hit or miss.

But unfortunately, they were really unfriendly & understaffed and the waiter/bartender was extremely bothered we were there and seemed very overwhelmed. I don't know who Celia is but maybe get more staff in the kitchen and a hostess and more waitress/waiters. We went in Saturday Valentines night dinner right before 6pm and found parking to be easy and should have taken that as a sign but figured we get better service. NOPE! The parking not is just really small and the people sitting had ordered and committed to staying I guess. Keep reading and you'll get my drift! Honestly, We assumed it would be a great night romantic dinner. Then, we walked in and felt so neglected. No hostess to greet or seat you. The bus man or waiter said wait here and cleaned a table when 3 were available. It looks like the three employees were doing everything and at the same time doing nothing! It was comical at first. He sat us finally and then we ordered. Appetizers and a Molcajete and two nonalcoholic drinks. By now 32mins passed. No chips & salsa. No nothing... we should have just left. But we were lazy to leave elsewhere with no reservations on Valentine day. He brought me a drink from the bar like if I ordered it, I hate to say he might have memory issues. Then he noticed we still don't have our drinks and he had to ask again what I ordered. Now 50mins passed and at another 15 mins the main course came before the appetizers were served so I cancelled it. It just seems like they didn't care for anyone else but the people at the bar. Ppl were just walking in and ended up leaving or seating themselves. Majority left and they didn't even notice! Not welcoming at all and as for the food. I feel like everything was previously frozen as the chicken and meat was very chewy-leather like. The cheese was cold. And just grateful that we didn't get sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. When I go into a restaurant, I expect good service and quality food. I unfortunately won't be returning. Such a shame because this place has western character straight out of a saloon and can't speak for the drinks as we didn't even eat our entire meal and wanted to get the hell out. Do better because this could be a cute hangout spot!
