    From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the host and a manager with a friendly smile and immediately attended to your reservations. Our server was great, she had a smile the whole time we were there and kept checking up on us If there was anything else we needed. They kept the chips & salsa full the whole entire time, food arrived quickly considering the restaurant was packed and our water glasses filled the whole time. You could see different managers constantly making sure everything is running smoothly and this is why Javier is a five star restaurant because of the employees and managers did an excellent job.  We will definitely be back soon.

    We had a lovely experience at this location. The ambiance, service, and flavors were top-notch. While my dish arrived closer to room temperature than expected, everything else more than made up for it. The quality of the ingredients and the richness of the flavors stood out, and it’s clear this is a place that takes pride in what they serve. This will definitely be our go-to location for Mexican cuisine.
