First time at a Kalaveras and def coming back for more rounds! Now here’s my take on the prices for food and drinks. The food was delicious and service beyond and above. However, the food prices are okay for Mexican appetizers, and entrees. I don’t think it’s worth eating a $15-$25 dish if you’re already going to be spending $14 on cocktails. I really loved their rolled taquitos which was $14 something and their carne Asada quesadilla which was about the same price. As for their desserts I tried the churro and lava cake which was $14-$15 each. I don’t think their dessert is worth that much for something small that’s not meant to be shared unless if you have a small appetite. Other than the food being expensive I enjoyed their cocktails and the ambiance.
(Go somewhere else; check the cost)It tries to be fancy so it keeps the cost high to make it seem that way. Service was slow, the waiter kept forgetting our order and they have no common sense. The surrounding areas at least have happy hours or specials. And was hoping for at least chips and salsa that are at least half decent but was disappointed ?.
First off the decor flows, the ambiance is nice, and the service quick and attentive.Onto the food, we ordered ceviche as an appetizer and they add mango salsa to it. I liked how light it was and the mango added to it. However, it did need salt which we found under the tostadas once we were almost finished. After seasoned properly the ceviche was delicious.For the entrees we ordered a mushroom taco, kalavera salad, and kalavera carne asada bowl. The mushroom taco was tasty but needed salsa and lime. I was surprised they didn't include some on the plate.The salad was good and I liked the jicama, but it needed more dressing and it was small in portion for the price. The bowl was a bigger portion but the rice was dry and so was the asada. Best thing in the bowl was the salad. Maybe we didn't order the right items.Lastly, I loved their presentation for their shots; on a cutting board with a line of salt and an orange carnation.I don't know if I'd come back, but if I did I'd stick to their staple entrees.
Food was really delicious, though it was big a pricey but it was a family gathering, but nonetheless the food was really good as well as the ambiance. The waiters were really nice and helpful.
LOVE this place! Montebello location so far beats the others. Staff are on point, food is super yummy and cooked as you request!! Overall feel of the place is relaxing and inviting. Hillary was our waitress for the day, my birthday. Excellent service, great timing to check in and attentive. We have come back a few times since and will keep coming back to this location! LOVE!! They need to have that Mango drink on a daily too. Do not forget to try the guacamole with chicharron --yummers!!
Awesome guacamole and nachos
So good! Great drinking atmosphere as the decor was very artistic and intricate. We appreciated the amazing bartenders and wait staff. The food and drinks were fabulous, can't say one bad thing about this place. Perfect!!! Also, you can tell other people love this place too cuz they were ordering a lot of drinks and singing along with the live entertainment & getting up to dance.
Had a great time having Dinner and Drinks with the wife and kids. Great atmosphere, the entire staff was polite and upbeat and they provided great service, along with great food and drinks. Definitely one of our new go-to spots for good authentic Mexican food.
Traveling from Vermont to LA. This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Not only is the food AMAZING, the staff is incredible. They are so personable and accommodating of allergies and your likes & dislikes. The quesadilla and wet burritos are to die for. We are definitely coming back before we leave! If I could leave 100 stars I would!!
