   We had a reservation but as we waited to be sat, we sat at the bar and enjoyed our service so much that we decided to have dinner there. Great music, service and ambiance.

   Fantastic gourmet Mexican food. Price is high, but depending on what you get worth it. Skip the Steak entre and get the classics, like enchiladas, ceviche.

   Horrible. I was so excited to try the La Jolla Javier’s, as it was the only one I hadn’t been to, and left very disappointed. The bartenders made amazing margarita’s and the service was great, however the food was absolutely disgusting and so disappointing. My husband ordered the Chicken Fajitas and I ordered the barbacoa. Both were not even edible. My husband and I love all of their restaurants and have never had a bad meal until now, so we are hoping it was just an off night.

   The ambiance is nice, however the music is quite loud with an energetic beat. There was a large mix of different types of people there, including young children and some people dressed up and some casual. The steak picado did not have much flavor. The chicken enchiladas Suizas were excellent. The servers were very nice.

   Our waiter was extremely nice and attentive. Food and drinks were great. Big fan of their carnitas and enchiladas de mariscos. My son loves their salmon. The location is a little hard to find in the shopping center because there isn’t any signage for it in the parking garages (or maybe I just didn’t see it). If it’s your first time going to Javiers- just know that It’s directly across the street from Red O.

    La verdad de lujo pero sentí que el servicio estuvo un poco lento se tardaron mucho con la comida y fueron demasiado rápidos con la entrada que cuando llego mi comida ya no tenía ganas de comer y eso fue el detalle pero aparte de eso todo bien

    I reserved 2 weeks prior and when I got there we had to wait almost 45 minutes. They definitely have to improve the reservations. I won’t go back for sure.

    Great outdoor seating in corner booth. Food wonderful, as usual, but impressively served hot and quickly. Water glasses continually filled by us big water consumers. Beautiful presentation. Our guest was very impressed and all we had to do was show up.

    I have been to Javier's on many occasions. This was the first time I brought my 7-month-old daughter. As I walked in with her and my wife, we were immediately approached by staff telling us we were not permitted to bring the stroller with us. This was extremely upsetting as I have never heard this type of restriction from any restaurant. Ever! What's even more upsetting is none of the staff could explain why this restriction was in place. Our server was fantastic. The food was ok. The disrespectful restriction towards parents of young infants was unacceptable. I definitely won't be back.

    I was disappointed with the overall dining experience. I took my mom there for Mothers Day. I ordered the Enchiladas poblanas which were extra salty. My mom ordered the steak ranchero that was supposedly filet mignon but meat was tough. Everything was overpriced. Not sure if I will go back again.

    Upscale Mexican is a void. Javier’s does a great job of filling the void. It’s tricky to be able to justify high quality Mexican food when you have taco shops at every corner, but Javier’s does a great job with bold yet traditional flavors. Very impressed by the service as well, in a hectic environment, there was poise and service from all employees. Also, the refried beans are amazing. So so good.

    Mothers Day Javier is one of my favorite restaurants ! It was my first time in La Joya location ! Beautiful design , decoration and ambiance , service and details were excellent ! On food I gave it 4 stars because I was looking forward to ceviche de pescado abc they run out !! I tried the shrimp ceviche instead , it wasn’t as expected ! The rest was awesome ! Will go again 🙂 GS

    Great place but it is San Diego and there’s so much great Mexican food for the money. I have a hard time spending that much on tacos but drinking great margaritas is worth the money

    The food and drinks were amazing! The steak was the best I've ever had and my wife agrees with me. The drinks were well balanced and the waiter (Hermilo) was the most attentive waiter I've ever had! The ambiance is out of this world! Hands down the best experience we've had at a restaurant!
