Vegetarian ok chip&salsa good Disappointed not worth$$$ too bad does not reflect the fancy/grand vibes

The atmosphere is fabulous and the service was great. But our food and drinks were underwhelming, especially for the price. Much better Mexican food and Margaritas can be found in the area.
Be the first to Reply5 people at 2 top, cold table outside.
I almost never complain. We had reservation for 6 but we ended up a group of 5 with 3 adults and 2 kids. They put us on a two top, outside on parking lot with smokers right behind is, it was 45 degrees. As they were seating us I quickly realized it was going to be a tiny table and almost no chance of 5 to eat a full meal on a 2 top. I went speak to hostess and she said they often sit 5 at that table. I found it hard to believe for dinner. Drinks only maybe. She further said if we wanted a normal sized table that we would have to wait. Waiting, no problem despite our reservation but I didn’t want to be argumentative so we went with her word that we could fit. It was freezing and a horrible experience. The dinner was $400. The heater turned off and didn’t work for whole dinner. We had to put the appetizer on a the bench seat to make room for the plates. Two of us had to climb over the bench to get out because it we too crammed. Words can’t explain how our reservation, money and well being were disregarded.
Be the first to ReplyNot your typical Mexican restaurant
Javiers is a happening place. On a weekday evening, the restaurant was just buzzing. It is an expensive place to be sure, but for us, it was worth every penny. The salsa is probably the best I've had at any restaurant. I have yet to have better steak fajitas - the beef literally melts in your mouth. The beef tacos were par excellence. Oh, and how could I forget the margaritas - they were absolutely fantastic.

Great service. The Las Vegas type atmosphere is quite loud and it’s difficult to have a conversation without screaming. Tasty, but pricey.
Be the first to ReplyGreat quality Mexican food
Wow. The quality of food was above expectation. Fine dining with great atmosphere. A little loud for me but the food made up for it.
Be the first to ReplyJavier’s always delivers!
I LOVE Javier’s in Vegas so when I saw they had one in La Jolla I had to go! Went with a team of 8 there for a conference. The service was great and of course the food delicious. And it had been so long since I had their habanero sauce, I wish they would sell it. Fun and open atmosphere with a similar decor as Vegas but some unique features of its own.
Be the first to ReplyMexican food extra tasty and divine
The perfect spot for Sunday afternoon brunch with my daughter. The most delicious quest fundido dip ever! Served with warm tortillas, it was perfection. We also had some guacamole which was spicy and yummy. We should have stopped right there but we also ordered enchiladas and quesadillas, which were so tasty and satisfying. Everything was outstanding, including the decor and ambiance. Classy.

Great Happy hour! Atmosphere was 10/10! service was amazing. I got the enchiladas and they were fantastic. I wish we remembered our server he was wonderful!
Be the first to ReplyTry the guayaba margarita!
Went here on a Friday night with colleagues from work to celebrate the end of a big project and busy season. Gabriel -- and then Oscar, for a little while -- took very good care of us. The food was delicious, and the guayaba margaritas went down easy. Thank you so much to Gabriel and Oscar for excellent service and kindness.

Amazing place!!! Great tequila old fashions Very classy restaurant. Great for business people and couples. I would highly come back.
Be the first to ReplyGourmet Mexican Food, Excellent margaritas!
My son - who lives nearby wanted to try this restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful. Nice place for special occasion. I was pleased that the salsa was spicy and tasty (not bland like many that you might find at restaurants. Margarita was wonderfully balanced and delicious. The Ahi ceviche had asian flavors and very delicious! the osso buco was delicious with the sauce that was flavorfully spicy!

Two friends visiting San Diego decided to splurge for dinner. The decor is truly unique and appealing. The food and service were very good except for the appearance of a bus boy with no English skills motioning that he was going to take my plate even though there was a fair amount of food still on it.
At these prices, the bus boys should be able to be taught how to say: "Are you finished?"
Awful
Let me start by saying we have gone to a lot of very nice restaurants in the area. This place was by far one of the worst. Spent $400 on a meal and was rushed the entire night. We came in 3 hours before closing. The server was rude and the bus boys came over every 10 minutes to take plates we were not even done eating. We spoke the the manager Jose at the end and he was beyond rude. You can tell this company doesn’t hire quality people or doesn’t pay their people well by how bad they treat paying customers. This is a fine dining restaurant and when paying $45 per enchilada dish they can’t even have good servers or even managers for that matter. Won’t be back. Stay away from this disaster of a restaurant.
Be the first to Replyvery poor experience!
We've gone to this restaurant a lot in the past, but will not continue to do so after our very poor experience this evening. We waited close to an hour for our food to come, and when it did the steak and porkchop were overcooked and dryed out! We actually talked with 2 managers and neither offered to take care of us, and were in fact very rude and acted as if they could have cared less! The place was packed and bad service and food was not something they were going to be con cerned with! Do not go here! Trust me, you can do A LOT better with your $120..... try the red O across the street!
Be the first to ReplyFood was not great
More of a scene / place to go for a night out than for a good dinner.
Went with a large group - service was fine. Food was bad. Stale chips, my steak picante was billed as filet mignon, but some bites were too chewy and couldn’t be eaten, more like a rough London broil. The osso buco was dry. The seafood entrees / enchiladas seemed much better, so maybe avoid the meats.
The service ruined it.
Hey guess what, if you have a baby, don't come here, they're not welcome. Strollers can't be brought inside, annoying but okay, fine, your restaurant your rules. They said they'll store it and I asked if it was going to be in a safe place. Strollers aren't cheap. Guess where they put it? Outside the restaurant, down the block, where it started drizzling. Cool move guys.
Here's where it gets worse, we asked for the manager to express our concern and the first thing he says is why is your stroller inside. Seriously? You just left our personal belongings hanging out outside unattended. We had a 5:30pm dinner on a Sunday night in a mall, we're not exactly making your restaurant less cool by bringing a stroller inside. You're in UTC, not Vegas.
Btw, we asked for water for our dogs and they said it's policy not to give them water.
Been to 500+ restaurants in San Diego for my food writing gigs. Can't ever say I've experienced anything like this but guess there's a first for everything.
Great Food, Average Service, interesting Interior, POOR SELECTION/LOUD Music
We have visited 3-4 times, food is typically above average, bar is slow to get the drinks out. Interesting interior, seating is nice and most outside locations have ceiling heaters. Great menu/selection, but as others have noted prices are at the high end!
Overall rating: B+ (need to address the music) Would not recommended if you expect to conduct any business!
Very nice dinner
Had a business dinner for 4. Ceviche trio was great. Tres Leche cake excellent. The sea bass was average
Great staff, drinks and atmosphere. I would eat here again
Absolutely love this place.
Absolutely love this place. Food was excellent. Service was top notch. Environment was over the top. Large selection of adult drinks. Lots of delicious foods to choose from. A loud and energetic crowd. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos and the fajitas. Will most certainly return!
Be the first to ReplyHold on to you wallet!
Hold on to your wallet because you will be broke when you leave. The food is good, thus the 3 stars, but for the pricing I expected much much more. Small portions that are semi cold. The venue is beautiful but will not return based on pricing and portions. For what we paid I could have eaten at almost any 5 star restaurant in SD county. For Mexican food there are way too many AMAZING choices in San Diego for half the price or less.
Be the first to ReplyBest experience by far!
Best experience by far! Our first time dining at a Javier’s and first time at any restaurant since March 15 due to pandemic. Love love love the atmosphere at this location. Our server, Hailey, was excellent. She was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Three of us ordered different entrees for lunch. Tacos, Chopped salad, carnitas. Superb taste and presentation! Being a dessert person, their churros were far better than Disneyland’s! Can’t wait to go back!
