“Jonny was our server the first time my friend & i came here and did not disappoint. We've been coming here for margarita Mondays and we always have a great time! Jonny always exceeds our expectations. The one thing I have a complaint about is the music. it's what's the same thing over and over again. we've tried to make suggestions but it's always the same music.. other than that Kalaveras is great.“
“I used to live not too far from this location. Hands down, some of the best carne asada in Orange County. However, I recently went there yesterday to buy carne asada on the way to the beach and holy $&/! $16.99/lb for their Carne Asada?? That is just obscene. I still bought it because I don't know anywhere else to go as I was already driving through that area on my way to Huntington. It's great Carne, but I give it 4 stars because there pricing is just too high. Probably won't be coming back here because I moved away and I rather spend time looking local for a more affordable option.“
“This small, quaint restaurant is nestled in a small strip mall off Tustin Ave in Orange, CA. From the outside, it's easy to miss driving North on Tustin. The parking lot is small also.When you enter the comfortable-lit restaurant, you are greeted by soothing Spanish music. I came, in for the first time, close to Thanksgiving. The decorations were appropriate for the time of year. Very nice setting to enjoy a delicious meal.The young lady gave me an inviting smile and greeting as soon l entered the establishment.The first time I came through I got the signature item, Tamles. I got 3 green-sauce chicken tamales. They were small, but full of meat and very flavorful. They were well-packaged and came with homemade hot green salsa. You can choose red salsa too. I got the green. She included napkins and salsa without me having to ask. This is a plus nowadays because most restaurants won't give you anything more than the order if you don't ask.The chicken was so tender and the tamales were well complimented by the salsa provided to me. The tamales may look small but once you start eating this art you come to realize it's worth the $3 for one. The cost was around $3 each as of 11/21/23. I did eat all 3 and was full.The following day I felt like I had to try out their $2 Taco Tuesday deals. These were Street tacos with your choice of Pork, chicken, or Steak. I went with 2 steak and 2 chicken.The Asada was so flavorful and delicious. Add the salsa and it is amazing.The pollo was not shredded. It was more cubed. It was delicious but dry-tasting. I put extra sauce on it. I was hoping the same pollo in the tamales would be in the taco. It was good but I prefer the Asada.I would definitely recommend this restaurant for the hospitality, cleanliness, and taste. Try for yourself.I ordered an extra side of green salsa to go because I really enjoyed it.Parking: Small parking lotKid-friendliness: Friendly and kind.Wheelchair accessibility: There is parking available“
“During my recent visit to Habana, I was thoroughly impressed with the outstanding level of hospitality provided. The ambiance of the place immediately sets a welcoming tone, but what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional service. After a brief wait, the manager personally approached us, showcasing their attentive and caring approach towards guests. Not only did they ensure our comfort, but they also generously took care of an appetizer and drinks for us. This gesture of kindness and the manager’s effort to go above and beyond left a lasting impression on us. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was delightful, but it was the warmth and professionalism of the staff, especially the manager, that made our visit unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Habana to anyone looking for a dining experience that excels in both quality and hospitality. Five stars all the way!“
“From the entrance, we can feel happy, since the Latin music surrounds you with joy. The service is 1A, (since I ordered a dish and it was not what I expected, they immediately changed it to the one I thought it was and it was not on the menu, it was a jelly made of only fish and really super delicious, I recommend this restaurant 100%, the price, the taste and the kindness of the girls and the man who serve you are 100% 1A excellent. Thank you very much ☺️ for everything. And congratulations for such excellent service. We loved the food and of course we will return .⭐️“
“Solid choice for Cuban/Caribbean fare. I wasn't a fan of the paella, I tend to not find too many places that can do a paella dish well, but at least the squid and fish bites in it were good. I come for the sangria and fresh hot bread though lol. You can order practically anything off of their menu and you won't be disappointed. Go wild and get the tongue or oxtail.“
“They were catering a wedding I attended and it was so good I asked them about possibly catering for my upcoming work function. They were so easy to work with. They tailored their program to meet our needs. They were on time and items were executed as discussed. Working with them was so far the best outcome out of all of our past experiences. I would definitely recommend reaching out and seeing if they can create what you are looking for. Their food program is on point and I wish I had easier access to them on a more regular basis. They are a gem for sure!“
“We had wonderful cocktails although were tempted by the mezcal flights. Food was outstanding including the best chile relleno ever - not sure how they get the outside so crispy and delicious. The atmosphere was lively but also charming and romantic. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Great vibe.“
“This is also a store that makes you feel like you're in America.A lot of tortillas come.The avocado dip was very delicious.I'm not a fan of watermelon cocktails, but it was interesting.I ordered grilled salmon for my main dish.It was delicious and just the right amount!“
“Cha Cha's is always a great time. My family chooses Cha Cha's for akmost every special occasion AND frequently for no occasion at all. The food is fantastic and the weekday specials are such a grwat deal. Miguel, or server was super friendly and attentive. We had another great experience last night.“
“My friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday. Although it was busy, we still received great service. Our food and drinks were served at an appropriate time. The servers were very accommodating to different diets (someone in our group was vegan and someone else was pescatarian). There were various options for all! We also enjoyed a couple of rounds of drinks. They were all delicious! The restaurant has round tables that make you feel like you are eating at home. They also have outdoor seating. The restaurant is dimly lit, creating an intimate and relaxing ambiance.“
