   Our service was wonderful and our server did a good job of attending to us. However, for $90 for the Tabelita it was a subpar giant fajita plate.

   I went to Javier's for my birthday dinner. I had high expectations and unfortunately they were not met. The ambiance was great, it looks pretty inside n outside but the food & drinks are not worth the money. The prices are $40 ish per meal and portions are small. Drinks were alright but I was def expecting more. Service was great and our waiter was amazing.

   The quality of food was very authentic with plenty of rich Mexican flavors as well as beautiful presentation. The venue itself is very sophisticated with a fireplace, dim lighting, lanterns, and booth seating. It’s definitely a great place for date night. The serving size is very sufficient.

   Good food , and servers but disregarded the reservation request of where we’d like to sit — tables are too close and noise is too loud bad lay out but good ambiance if you’re going just for picture and not the restaurant itself

    Resturant is beautiful and the ambiance is great. The service was good but the food was bland and not very good. This place is loud and really not for kids, it has open fire pits an is very crowded.

    We were visiting San Diego for the first time to celebrate a special occasion and had a great time at Javier’s. Located inside the Westfield Mall, the interiors are beautiful. Our server (really wish I could remember the name) was very polite and welcoming. They start you off with a huge serving of house salsa and chips. My husband ordered the scallops with asparagus and potato mash - he enjoyed it. I got the sea bass veracruzana - so buttery smooth and delicious, do yourself a favor and order it! Both our margaritas were good (pepino and jalapeño). Finished off with a huge slice of the Tres Leches, which was airy and light. I would recommend this place for folks celebrating a special occasion or just looking for some yummy Mexican food!

    Overpriced Mexican food. Not worth it at all. Had reservation for anniversary dinner (notated in reservation) and were seated outside the restaurant shoved in a corner right next to the host. Worst spot to sit because everyone was waiting for their table next to us. Margaritas were terrible. Service wasn’t great either.

    Estevan was not very courteous. I didn’t like my drink and he said I couldn’t sent it back and we had to pay for it. At the end when I asked for the check, he made a disrespectful comment. “ who’s going to run first” as if we were not going to pay. Other than that food was delicious!

    The service was great. The food was delicious. I got a chile relleno and the vegetable enchiladas which were wonderful! The guacamole was the best I have every had! It was very delicious. The ambience was beautiful but the restaurant got quite noisy at lunch time. That made it hard to take to the people at my table. I would definitely go back and refer friends to this restaurant!

    I had reservations for a birthday dinner at Javier's. Having seen pictures online and all the good reviews I was so excited. When we arrived the hostess informed us that they were running about 15 - 20 minutes behind, which is no big deal, so we went to the bar to have a drink. Except, we sat at the bar for 20 minutes and didn't even get eye contact. The restaurant itself was way too loud. My fiance and I are not quiet people by any means but we couldn't even have a conversation sitting next to each other because of the noise. I'm not sure if it is the layout of the restaurant, but it seemed to echo and amplify all of the noise. It was busy, so obviously it's going to be loud, but it really was unreasonable. After 20 minutes of sitting with zero service coupled with the overwhelming noise, we left and went to a different restaurant. I assumed because it was a Wednesday evening Javier's wouldn't be too busy but that was not the case, it was packed as if it was a busy Saturday. Going forward I will likely only come here for lunch to avoid all of the crowds.

    It's expensive, but the quality of everything, from the steak in the tacos to the margaritas to the staff hospitality is pretty amazing. I'll definitely be back.

    Delicious food and cocktails but don’t you dare send anything back you did not order because the server AND the manager will tell you yes you did and and it’s “your word against mine” 😂 I’ve never in my life had this happen. Nor have I ever had to send anything back before. I ordered steak and was brought chicken. Not the biggest deal in the world but I literally only have ordered steak fajitas my entire life. My fiancé and I even had plans to split them with the enchiladas he got. They not only told me I was wrong but refused to take it from the table when the new item was dropped off. Paid for both. Whatever!

    Javier's is our favorite fine-dining Mexican restaurant in San Diego. From start to finish, the food was excellent. The beverages were excellent as my husband ordered the Black Mamba (his favorite) and I ordered a Jalapeno Margarita (my go-to). The chips and salsa were provided at the start of the meal and the salsa was so good, we requested another round. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and shrimp empanadas to start. Both were excellent. For our entrees, we went with shrimp enchiladas and seafood pasta (shrimp, crab, and scallops) and finished our meal with the tres leches cake. Overall, the meal was excellent and the service was just amazing. We felt like we were in Disneyland where we were catered to our every whim and when we dropped something on the floor, our items were picked up, and replaced with clean utensils/napkins within seconds. Our table was constantly cleaned and maintained, water replenished and any beverages we ordered were also replenished upon request.

    Great amount of seating and generally nice decor. Food is a bit too expensive for what you get. Quality and quantity are okay, I just feel like you can get similar quality food for maybe 20% less. For their current prices presentation of the food should be more elevated. Noise level is too high for a resturant.

    I use to love this place and felt like the cost was worth it. It has been about a year since I have gone and now I don’t believe the cost is worth it. Front desk girls are a little rude but the services staff is super nice. The food and drinks are over priced to be packed in right next to another table, having a conversation makes it hard because the the table right next to you can hear everything your saying. I won’t be going back. Your paying for the vibes and the expensive cars out front not for the food or quality.

    Javier's food and service was wonderful! I got the Halibut fish of the day and my husband got the chicken milenesa, both dishes were delicious. We were in an odd table of 2 in between 4 person tables, so that is only reason I gave 4 stars and it was awkward to talk because the noise level was very loud.

    I love Javier’s.. the food is very good but somewhat overpriced for lunches. The service and venue is amazing. The staff is kind and considerate and we had a very enjoyable meal. Truly, the only thing I can think of that would be a consideration, would be lowering the prices for the lunch menu., but overall definitely a beautiful presentation.

    First time to Javier’s La Jolla UTC; started out with queso fundido with chorizo & some taquitos; queso fundido was Ok at the very best, definitely needs more chorizo for the high price your paying, taquitos get the 5 star rating on appetizers. With then moved to main course, order crab enchiladas which were awesome & the 3 mexican sampler plate which consisted of 1 beef taco, 1 green chicken enchilada & 1 cheese chile relleno, enchilada was the best of the 3. No tap beer @ Javier’s, so we order a Pacifico & 1 jalapeño margarita, that was good but a little spicy! One sip of the margarita & 1 sip of water, hahahaha. Location, service & restaurant get a 5 star, beautiful decorations, but the food gets a 3 star; definitely way over price for not so great Mexican food. If you want awesome Mexican go to Old Town, if you want overpriced & not so great Mexican then come here. Once again, location, service & restaurant very impressive! too bad food needs much more taste to it.

    Definitely a great choice for Mother’s Day Dinner! The staff was so friendly and there certainly wasn’t a lack of staff either. This is a breath of fresh air given the circumstances of the last few years. Drinks were constantly replenished and all food was brought out on time as well.

    Our server Emily C was amazing! We had a large party on Mother's Day plus it was also graduation day. Emily ensured we were kept up on when our meals were coming and was able to keep our drinks flowing on a super busy day. She could be seen asking the busser to clear tables and kept all her tables happy. I don't think we would have had such a great experience with someone else.
