Every time we come to Laguna we come to Javier's. It's always great food and great drinks. This location was a bit loud but nonetheless we enjoyed it. The shrimp tacos were fabulous as were the carnitas!

Our overall with Javier’s was ok. Ambiance is beautiful however I couldn’t justify the price with the poor quality lackluster cold small portions of the entrees. I ordered two shrimp tacos that came with rice and beans; that entree was 34.00. When it arrived, it was a kid sized version , that was cold ( probably laying out under the heating lamp) and no flavor. I’m sorry, would definitely not come back. Do yourselves a favor and go to wahoos around the corner where the portions are more complete and the price point for a combo is less Than 20.00.

Food is good quality and always consistent. Food comes out gas, so we like to have drinks and wait a bit before ordering food.
