" While the food had a decent flavor, I found the portion sizes a bit lacking. The tacos were tasty but not quite what I expected. Service was decent but left me wanting a bit more. I felt like I could find better authenticity elsewhere, though the vibrant atmosphere makes it a fun place for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Javelina. The staff went above and beyond for our group of seven, which we appreciated immensely. The margaritas were powerful and delicious! I had the brisket tacos, which were loaded and flavorful. Thanks for a great time, I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" In love with their white queso! I could make a meal of that alone. Tacos were decent but not the most flavorful I’ve had. Service was attentive until it got busy, which then it dropped. I’ll probably come back, but there is room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, I thought the authenticity could improve. It didn't quite remind me of the Tex-Mex I grew up with. The chips were fresh though, and the service was attentive. I would try going back with a different order next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a passion for Tex-Mex food, and Javelina truly showcases it well. The flavors are authentic and well-prepared, although the dining area can get a bit loud. The service was friendly, but I experienced a delay with my food order during a busy time. However, I’ll happily return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent dinner here last night! The green enchiladas were packed with flavor, and the staff was super friendly. I was also impressed with the way my drink was prepared – just the right amount of kick! A fantastic experience overall; I can see why it’s a local favorite. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The queso was oily and the fajitas tasted bland. Service was okay, but nothing exceptional. Expected more from a place with such high reviews. Might not return, as there are better Tex-Mex options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
