    Came to this super cool place, thanks to my friend who’s been seeing Kalaveras pop up everywhere, it seems. It was taco Tuesday for just 199 each. There were 6(?) flavors and they were all DELICIOUS and so juicy and tender. Chicken, pork belly, carnitas, carne, barbacoa, vegetarian, and another beef. I know I will be coming here a lot. Already coming back on Sunday.

    We went early, before 5pm and it was empty, just 1 family was seated so no waiting. We made a reservation and didn't need it. The service was great! The ribeye tacos and barbacoa enchiladas were delicious!

    I’m happy that they decided to open up a Kalaveras in Downtown Fullerton. This is my go to spot for happy hour, date night or just to grab a beer. The staff is always welcoming and we have had the pleasure of being served on by Allan. The managers often make a visit to each table to make sure everything is well. Be prepared to pay for parking on the weekends. The happy hour menu is such a great value and the carne asada fries are fire!

    Wow, brunch here was fantastic! I got the chilaquiles and they were bursting with flavor. Our bartender, Lucia, made incredible Blood Orange Mojitos—fresh, not premixed, which I really appreciated. We did get the wrong dish at first, but the manager, Gustavo, stepped in right away and fixed everything quickly and kindly. Overall, such a great brunch outing!

    Really good food. Even better drinks. The "Guayabera" , "Kopa de frida" and the "Paloma Negra" were delicious. As were the "Hibiscus/Jamaica" candy shots. The carne asada meal. Delicious. The chicken fajitas. Awesome. We were visiting from WA State but if we are ever back in the neighborhood we will definitely be back.

    This was left here on 10/4/25. There is very little money value, but is a family trophy that has been passed down for years. If found please DM @palmtreesandprogress on IG. Reward Found by this Good semeratin
