Calavera Bar And Grill: A Colorful and Flavorful Mexican Dining Experience in Cottonwood, AZ

Great food, good service, and great atmosphere. Large portions of food with a large variety to choice from. There a bar area you can sit and watch the game on. They serve a Sunday brunch 10-2pm.

It has been quite a while since I last visited Calavera. The atmosphere is still excellent, though the name is different—I assume there’s a new owner. The food was definitely very flavorful and well presented on the plates chosen for the day. There was plenty of parking available, and the staff were friendly and hardworking. All in all, Calavera did not disappoint.

The food was absolutely amazing, I had the steak and shrimp, which is their specialty and it was beyond awesome. My wife had the chicken enchiladas which she was over. The moon about. The margarita was perfect and service was absolutely amazing. Dario, our waiter was fantastic. Great value great atmosphere great service and great food. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend it!

Great atmosphere. Great for drinks and socializing. The service was very good and attentive. The food very well prepared, good presence and appetizing. Good portions for the cost.

Such a fun and festive place!!! Above awesome decor and atmosphere, super friendly staff at any time of the day. The complimentary chips and salsa are perfect, I would pay for it. My shrimp fajitas came fast and hot. I had to come back on a separate trip to treat myself to their fried ice-cream, which came in a very satisfying portion. Fun, fun, fun place to go!

Ok, this was excellent food. The prices seem high, totally worth it. Large portions, neither myself or my wife finished our meal. The margaritas are significantly larger than other local restaurants and impressively tasty for how strong they are(they are strong). Our server Luis was also excellent, checking in regularly without making us feel rushed. Special requests on the food were correctly communicated to the kitchen and everything came out perfect! Best mango fish tacos yet!

Great restaurant! Service was excellent! As soon as we sat, we got chips, salsa and beans served! I got the most expensive Margarita on the menu. It was very good. My spicy shrimp tacos were delicious and had a lot of shrimp. The refried beans were delicious! Prices are average for dining out. Loved the decor!

All-around best Mexican restaurant in the area! The service, atmosphere, and food are all 10/10. This was only our second time here in a year, but we were so impressed how both experiences were consistently excellent. Little things, like rice and beans, are done to perfection, when many other restaurants serve up lukewarm sticky rice and tasteless beans. The pork carnitas and the mole are delicious! We also really appreciate their team service approach.
