We were excited to check this place out… unfortunately it was very disappointing. The service was terrible, our meals came out before our appetizers and they forgot to bring salsa that we asked for …. In a Mexican restaurant.. isn’t that supposed to be the norm? It was very loud inside which is not a dealbreaker, however for not great service and mediocre food, which by the way left us all with sore bellies for the evening.. we won’t be back.

This was our first time coming here. We loved the ambiance and decor. Our server was so friendly and took care of us and my husband's 40th birthday with a different type of candle. We were so amazed. We arrived around 530 and it was not as busy as when we were done with dinner. Can't wait to return!

the place is very loud difficult to carry on a conversation. the restaurant is so dimly lit it is hard to read the menu. the waiter had to be continually called over. did not even bring us plates, silverware or napkins for our appetizers we needed to grab an employee walking by. waiter not familiar will food. asked about an item and either he could not hear either or he did not know.

From start to finish service. Food and environment was exceptional. It is a Mexican restaurant which didn’t serve complementary chips and no salsas served with food and while we did get tortillas just not enough!!! Margaritas were made perfectly. Kalveras can make drinks for sure you get your moneys worth!!!

Great new place for Mexican food in Escondido! Creative mezcal cocktails and good food at a good value. The service was a bit chaotic, multiple servers but they are still getting organized. We will definitely be returning!
