Always amazing! We had family in town and wanted to take them to our favorite restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and delicious food. The service is always friendly and top notch. Great for everyday dining and special occasions. The menu is spectacular. Highly recommend.

Been coming here for years. Its amazing. The prices in particular are excellent in this economy. Drinks are so reasonable, its hard not to indulge. The food is fresh and consistent and the staff have been here for a good while. Friendly faces every visit. Honestly, when you have to be so specific about eating out- Javiers provides a safe port, every time.
February 2026
Food bland. Salsa watery, Margaritas weak. Nice place, but needs big improvement in food. This does not even qualify as TexMex. The ground beef is totally without taste, chicken soup is in need of something, maybe add Maggi. Sorry, Javier's won't be a place I frequent. When it was La Chiquanita it was great, now, not even close.
