I ordered the AVOCADO Chicken ceasar salad and it came out with no avocado. When I was finally able to get the waitress to advise her that there was no avocado, she just said “ we ran out of avacado”. No apology or substitute was offered. The table beside us then received a guacamole appetizer and that confused me as I was told there was no avacado available. I had to ask if the salad would be discounted as the salad was an AVOCADO (first word in the menu title) Chicken ceasar salad and the waitress said she will ask her manager. I received a small $3 discount but it didn’t make up for the disappointed I felt at the lack of service and experience.

We ordered the fish tacos. In the past they were outstanding. Yesterday they had a watered down marinara sauce on the fish tacos making them soggy and absolutely terrible. Not sure why they changed them. We also ordered guacamole and chips, there was an half an avocado just sitting in the guacamole, as well they got rid of refried beans! This is a Mexican restaurant??? Unfortunately I will not be going back because the food was so unbelievably terrible. And would not recommend anyone to go there. On a plus, our waitress was wonderful!

We had a birthday celebration at Calavera Cantina and visited for the first time. Our servers, Zoe and Valeria, were excellent! We ordered margarita flights and beer and the margaritas were very good. We then shared hot wings and salt & pepper wings (1/2 price off on Thursdays) - both very, very good! Between the five of us, we ordered the Birria Quesadilla, tacos (3 for $15) and a brisket burrito. All were scrumptious! We will be back again for sure!

Had never been to Calavera before and it was good-drinks were yummy-Pineapple Mojito, Sangria . Taco’s were yummy and enjoyed that you could choose different flavours, I had shrimp, pork belly and short rib. The shrimp & pork belly were awesome the short rib was dry with no sauce on it. We tried the esquires dip which was yummy!! Service was awesome!!

My tacos were soggy. As if it was left under the light for a long period of time. The pizza was hard. Again left somewhere too long before bringing to the table (I think)
