Review summary

Javier's - La Jolla offers a "gorgeous" ambiance reminiscent of Tulum, with "delicious" and "high-quality" Mexican cuisine. The "service is impeccable," and the margarita list is highly praised. However, note that the atmosphere can be "very loud," and reservations may require a wait. Ideal for a vibrant dining experience!

Would not seat us until our entire party had arrived in the building. We were waiting for one person. I am handicapped , use a cane and cannot stand for long periods of time so I sat down at a two seater table that was across from the bar. After a few minutes, a hostess came over and informed me that I could not sit there. Thus I had to stand up and lean against the wall. No one was seated at this table the entire time we waited! Once seated the service was very slow and lacked any attention to detail. The noise level was extremely loud, the waiter could not hear us as we attempted to order our dinner! I must say, the guacamole was very good. As for the rest of the food, it was mediocre at best, small portions, barely warm and my $50 halibut was dry. The $25 margaritas were not good. Beautiful building but will not be back!

Once you’re seated the staff is very good. Inside the restaurant is quite loud. We sat in the patio and were grateful to be outside so we could talk and hear each other. The food is on point! You won’t be disappointed!

Hair in menu and flavor only appeared in the guacamole. If you are a San Diego local, go to South Of Nicks instead - 100 times better!
