    First time visiting this location. Been to.many of the other in irvine and Newport. Salsa was not tasting as good as the others, tortilla chips was store bought. My refried beans was super dry and didnt bother to tell server. He was hard to get a hold of. Salsa verde not spicy at all. They will only take reservation. Hostesses not friendly. Won't visit this location anytime soon

    We had a reservation for 7:30 PM, but when we arrived, the front desk told us it would be just a few minutes. Unfortunately, we weren’t seated until 8:30 PM. Because of the delay, we missed our 8:45 reservation at Raised by Wolves.

    Best food although not inexpensive , but you don’t go to Javier’s to save money.The filet mignon is better than steakhouses and all the enchiladas are fantastic.You can’t go wrong, just go there.Everything is first class .
