Reviews for Kalaveras in Montebello, CA
Food is decent but waaay over priced. Their decor is a bit all over the place, the bathroom is instagramable but makes me wonder... how long it’ll take for it to get gross and how hard it must be to clean the vines.. if they ever do. The prices say nice midend restaurant, but the vibes says something else. Also saw a server vaping as she was approaching her table to take their orderwhich was.. interesting. Went in on a Saturday when they apparently have karaoke night. Would recommend not going on that day.Having to sit through strangers singing, some of them terribly and with the volume way to high, not worth it. Overall a 4/10 Read more
(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 ????. Read more
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 wefound under the tostadas once we were almost finished. After seasoned properly the ceviche was delicious. For the entrees weordered a mushroom taco, kalavera salad, and kalavera carne asada bowl. The mushroom taco was tasty but needed salsa and lime. Iwas surprised they didn't include some on the plate. The salad was good and I liked the jicama, but it needed more dressing andit 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 inthe bowl was the salad. Maybe we didn't order the right items. Lastly, I loved their presentation for their shots; on a cuttingboard 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 stapleentrees. Read more

They need to have that Mango drink on a daily too. Do not forget to try the guacamole with chicharron --yummers!! Read more
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 wetburritos are to die for. We are definitely coming back before we leave! If I could leave 100 stars I would!! Read more
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 Mexicanfood. Read more
The place is nice, I loved the theme. Service is good but the wait is too long to be sited. The drinks and the food are very... good. I am giving 3 stars because the music is too load and is not enjoyable. Read more
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’tthink it’s worth eating a $15-$25 dish if you’re already going to be spending $14 on cocktails. However, I really lovedtheir rolled taquitos which was $14 something and their carne Asada quesadilla which was about the same price. As for theirdesserts I tried the churro and lava cake which was $14-$15 each. Like I said about their food, I don’t think their dessert isalso worth that much for something small that’s not meant to be shared unless if you have a small appetite. Other than thefood being expensive I enjoyed their cocktails and the ambiance so much that I’ll be coming back for drinks ???? Read more
