" I visited Caló Kitchen a few weeks back with my family, and we all loved it! The ambiance was festive, making it a perfect dinner for us. We enjoyed the enchiladas, which were stuffed with shrimp and covered in a rich sauce—just divine! Our server was friendly and helped us choose drinks that paired well with our meals. Overall, I highly recommend dining here if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot for dinner whenever I visit South Coast Plaza! The atmosphere is always buzzing with energy and the service is never short of excellent. I had the seafood platter last week, and it left me wanting more! The margaritas are a fantastic treat, and they have a great selection. It's worth every penny for the whole experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Mexican cuisine, I had high expectations for Caló with all the hype I heard. It is indeed a lovely establishment, and the decor is beautifully done. My carne asada burrito was tasty, but I feel like it lacked seasoning. The service was awesome, very attentive and friendly, but for the price, I expected more stand-out flavors. Still, I might give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Caló Kitchen for a casual dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. It felt like an upscale joint with a lively vibe. I tried the taquitos and a margarita, both of which were excellent. However, I found the rice a bit bland; it could use more flavor. The service was friendly but occasionally slow. Overall, a great spot that'll make me consider it again. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a nice spot for a dinner, but I found it to be slightly overrated. While the environment is pleasant and the drinks are interesting, the food didn't blow me away. I had the carnitas, which were decent but a bit dry for my taste. The service was attentive, but the waiting time was longer than I anticipated, especially for a weekday. Overall a good experience, but the food could use a boost. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts about dining in a mall restaurant, but Caló really surprised me. The atmosphere felt upscale, unlike many other eateries around. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were cooked to perfection. The only disappointment was the black beans—they felt lacking in flavor. Service was prompt and friendly. I'd definitely return, especially for drinks and social gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
