Javelina Cantina

Walked in there for happy hour today. There was a trainee in there and there were some comments made by the trainee to a customer. I felt very uncomfortable with the comments so I left paid my bill tipped the bartender appropriately. I hadn't been in this restaurant in over 8 years and to have that kind of treatment and that type of atmosphere for me was not good. So I'm going to post this with my name for people who watch for people like this

Went here over Memorial day weekend. Our server Harlie.Had a perky attitude and a sense of humor. Knew alot about things on the menu and made good suggestions. I enjoyed a flight of Margaritas. And they were delicious.4 different types and all were tasty. And the cevichie was very flavorful. I recommend trying a few things off the menu after crossing the London Bridge and taking in some sights. And the views from the outside dining area area very relaxing and entertaining.

Great food, good service, large portions, good cocktails, nice views

We just stopped in on a whim with our three year old and everything was great. The fish tacos were amazing. Tried both the batter fried and grilled fillet fish. Thick and hearty taco plate!
There are both indoor and balcony over the river seating options with a perfect view of London Bridge.
We were also traveling in a 30 foot RV and they had plenty of parking in the gravel dirt area by the Havasu City beach right next to the restaurant.

Great location and nicely decorated. We ate on the deck which has exceptional views. The food came out fast and looked delicious. Unfortunately the chimichanga had too much chicken flavor (not spice flavor, chicken flavor). I've never tasted chicken with that much flavor so it put me off. I would've liked more spice flavor too. My wife had the wet red sauce on something and she said it tasted closer to tomato sauce. We didn't finish our meal which is unusual.

Javelina Cantina in Lake Havasu City is an absolute standout and a must-visit if you love authentic Sonoran-style Mexican food. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The beef tacos were perfectly seasoned and tender, the tamales were rich and comforting, and the skinny margarita was refreshing and well-balanced—dangerously easy to drink in the best way.

That said, my favorite surprise was the chips and salsa. Seriously outstanding. The chips were perfectly crisp, and the salsa had that bold, fresh flavor that keeps you reaching for “just one more.” The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, the food feels genuinely authentic, and the overall experience was fantastic from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Javelina Cantina to anyone visiting or living in Lake Havasu City—this place is a gem. 🌮🍹

I had the worst Mexican food I have eaten in my life, (65) the Al Pastor was burnt and I had it enchilada style it tasted like tomato sauce. My wife ordered the chimichanga and was so dry she didn't like it. I sent my meal back and they did take it off the bill.

The shrimp cocktail cheese enchilada and the shredded beef taco salad was well worth the trip Halloween night.
