Kalaveras 8.4
Reseda Boulevard Strip
A neighborhood Mexican grill with a dedicated bar, known for hearty portions, fajitas, and michelada-friendly beer choices. The happy-hour pull here is straightforward: solid margaritas, cold cerveza, and familiar comfort plates in a casual setting. It’s a dependable local stop rather than a scene-chaser.

Value: 8 Service: 8.2 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 6.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.1
What makes it special: Classic grill-and-bar Mexican comfort food anchored by strong micheladas.
Who should go: Families and low-key happy-hour regulars.
When to visit: Late afternoon for drinks and fajitas.
What to order: Molcajete, asada-shrimp combo, Tres Marías enchiladas.
Insider tip: Split a molcajete—it's sized for two hungry people.
