I had such a great first experience at Kahlovera Mexican Bar & Grill! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and you can really tell they’re putting a lot of effort into making the restaurant a great addition to Franklin Street.
I also have to give a huge shoutout to Alex, the general manager. He was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure everyone was having a great experience. You can tell he really cares about the restaurant and the people who come through the doors.

Kahlovera was AMAZING! The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. Everything came out hot, the portions were generous, and every bite was delicious. The drinks were great too, and the atmosphere was beautiful and had such a fun vibe. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone looking for great food and an even better experience! 🌮🍹✨

I was excited to check out Kahlovera’s new Franklin Street location, but it ended up feeling like more of the same. It seems like it’s just another rebrand of a restaurant that’s been in this building before. The location itself is still one of the coolest spots on Franklin Street, but unfortunately the reputation hasn’t really changed.
The food felt like a copy-and-paste of what you can already get at a lot of local Mexican restaurants. There wasn’t anything that stood out or made me want to come back. If you’re opening a new concept, I expected something more unique.
The service was mid at best. It wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t memorable or particularly attentive.
I’d probably come back if friends wanted to meet here because the atmosphere and location are nice, but it’s not somewhere I’d choose to go on my own. I was hoping for something fresh, but it didn’t really deliver.

We visited Kahlovera Mexican Bar & Grill tonight with a group of friends, and our combined bill was around $400. We were excited to try a new restaurant, and there were definitely some positives. The hostess was very welcoming, and our server, Sam, was excellent throughout the evening. She was attentive, friendly, and quickly corrected the small issues we had, such as bringing my Mexican street corn that was missing from my meal, swapping my flour tortillas for corn tortillas, and bringing extra sour cream and spicy sauce that we had requested. One of our friend’s burritos was delayed, but we understood that things happen, especially during a new restaurant’s opening week.
Unfortunately, the experience took a major turn once we discovered multiple food safety issues. The delayed burrito contained a 12-inch hair cooked inside it. Our friend isn’t one to make a scene, so he simply ate around it. Later, one of our piña coladas had an eyelash in it, and then our churros arrived with yet another hair in them. Three separate items containing hair is unacceptable.
My husband politely brought the situation to the attention of a staff member. The only response we received was, “We’re sorry, it’s our first week.” To make matters worse, the same employee we spoke with walked straight into the kitchen and began preparing food. We also noticed that none of the kitchen staff appeared to be wearing hairnets.
We understand that opening a new restaurant comes with challenges, and we are generally very patient and understanding customers. However, finding hair in three different items during the same meal, left us extremely disappointed. We truly hope the restaurant takes food safety more seriously moving forward because the food itself had a lot of potential.
