I tend to love the vibe and decor at Mexican restaurants. They are usually colourful, with a bar-like, fun atmosphere. Calaveras was no different. Great place for drinks and winding down after a long week.
To share, we ordered the guacamole, some tacos and the beef fajita. Guacamole was fresh and a great starter. I would have happily eaten a whole serving (or 2) on my own. The plates of tacos came next, with a mix of pulled pork, chicken and fish; and I couldn't help notice that the tacos were very small. Anyway, taste wise, they were decent, but were not excellent either. They all seemed to taste the same from the red sauce. They were spicy, but lacked those Mexican flavours i was after. T...

Been here twice. First time was decent, second time was appalling.
Atmosphere: great decor, ornamental skulls, sombreros, tap water served in tequila bottles - overall awesome
Food: nice plating, great tasting, small servings.
Price: what you'd expect at a typical place in Newtown - not too pricey, but not the cheapest
Now the waiting time and service - well that was disappointing for me. Generally I'd expect to wait 20 mins max for food to come out. First time it was so. Second time we waited 40 minutes, food hadn't come yet.
I ordered a starter dish, I pointed to it on the menu, read it aloud, and asked to clarify "will the feta be sprinkled on top of the beans". After all that, I was...

To share, we ordered the Guacamole, some Tacos and the beef Fajita. Guacamole was fresh and a big starter. I would have liked to serve a whole (or 2) alone. The plates of Tacos came next with a mixture of pulled pork, chicken and fish; And I could not help the Tacos very small. Anyway, taste way, they were decent, but were not excellent. They all seemed to create the same from the red sauce. They were spicy, but lacked these Mexican flavors I was thereafter. The beef strips f...
Found the atmosphere to be cool. Decent drinks. Myself and a few friends ordered the enchiladas Rojas. They looked nice but tasted like dog food. I thought it was just me but the others disliked it too. The serving size was too small but perhaps that is for the best. Disappointing.
Calaveras has a great ambience. So gorgeous on the inside but the food is actually appalling. Enchiladas are bland, four people on my table didn't finish their's. Pretty sure the chicken is the one from the tin. So shocked at how bad the food is... such a shame

This place has such a potential as the atmosphere is pretty funky. However, you must improve the service and quality of food as fast as possible. ✌ @ foodiesguidetosydney.
