Kalaka Mexican Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
One of our favorite Mexican places in the area! I love the twist they have on their food and the margaritas are amazing! Our server was also super amazing and she had great reccomendations.
Excellent authentic food with amazing service and good prices!!! It's a wonderful hidden gem and worth the search!!!
We were looking for a Mexican brunch on the way down from the mountains, we found this place. Lots of brunch options, but I went for the trashcan chilaquiles with an over medium egg. It was extremely tasty with a great sauce and presentation. They even had carrot and beet margaritas, delicious. The interior was very unique and well kept - kinda cool gothic arches and day of the dead vibe. Our server was great too, irrespective of him being new. It was a bit of a wait to get the food out, but nothing too painful. I would recommend giving it a try, and definitely if you are the same situation we were.
Fresh, creative takes on Mexican food. You'll see menu choices not found at typical suburban Mexican restaurants. The wait staff is always friendly and relatively prompt. If it's really busy service can be a tad slow. A word of warning: it's noisy. The concrete floor, pressed tin ceiling, metallic furniture and chairs/stools that screech across the floor and conversations combine into a cacophony if it's busy. It's not a deal breaker, but if you have trouble hearing in noisy environments be prepared.
Cool vibe good people. Please note all we had was a drink and chips and salsa....but the chips were delicious. We will be back for a full dinner sometime and I will update my review.
What a find! After a weekend in vail we stopped here for lunch on the way down to Denver. Best meal we had all weekend. Brunch menu was creative yet authentic; each of 3 street tacos were delicious works of art.
Great food for dine in. More of an Americanized Mexican hybrid. I would recommend dining in, and not take out. Our take out got cold immediately (we were 2 miles away from the restaurant). Food quality was great, but it needs to be enjoyed onsite.
Visiting my friend, we did a snowshoeing hike so came here for an early dinner. My friend loves the red pozole but I'm more of a green fan myself. But their chicken poblano enchiladas special caught my eye with the chicken tinga. We started with the birria fries that were just phenomenal. The chicken fajitas were served on a fun tower with plenty of roasted vegetables, a cilantro rice and fresh pico de gallo. Everything was tasty and the Mountain View's can't be beat. Friendly and informative wait staff.
