Reviews for Calavera in Oakland, CA
It’s got that good party or date night kinda bustling atmosphere and the food is good but I have had better. It’s a better... experience than a chow down kinda spot! Read more
Goodness, it's loud when it's packed on a Friday night. If you can get an outside table that helps but it's still loud. But it's... fantastic. Great food, great cocktails, great service. You can order and pay from your phone. We liked that but found theinterface needs some improvement to make it easier for folks to select their items from items the server put in the order for.But it was still a great improvement and we hope to see this in more establishments. They have some nice non alcoholic optionsto drink-with very little effort they could dress them up and serve some fancy non alcoholic cocktails. Read more
Stopped by for lunch on the hottest day of the year. Guac was fresh, chips were thick and crispy. Both sets of tacos were... divine. Mushroom tacos were very flavourful with pineapple. Chicken tacos were a bit spicy. Read more
We loved this place! I liked the ordering system through your phone but if you like it old school you can ask for a server to... take care of you. The tacos yum! Carnitas is so yummy! ???? The chicken mole amazing!! Plus the cocktails were gorgeous ????(tasting and looking) We definitely will be back soon! Especially for the potato flautas ???? Read more
What a wonderful and lively place! I could spend every afternoon here enjoying delicious food and drinks. The margaritas are to... die for, the guacamole comes with yummy chips--none I've ever had before ???? I ordered a Mexican salad and added shrimp to itand it was fantastic. It does have bacon, so you can opt out if you want. Everything was fresh and the dressing wasperfect. Every team member that I met was even nicer than the first. I look forward to returning. ????

Great food and service. A really nice option in midtown Oakland for when you want some really good Mexican food. The space is... large and has lots of tables for you and your friends to enjoy a meal and great drinks, also they have a space outside andinside and very nice Read more
Very nice Mexican food experience, with good variety of dishes and (very importantly), delicious tortillas. Tinga tacos and... refried beans were by far the best choices that we made, highly recommend. The main dining room gets quite noisy, but theterrace is a good alternative if you'd like to have a conversation while you eat (nicely heated too!) Read more
