" Pretty good experience overall. The bursting flavors in Javier’s dishes were enjoyable, and their drink menu is robust as well. I tried their shrimp ceviche which was enjoyable. However, I do feel that the prices are consistently higher than what I would have liked. Despite this, the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service made the visit worthwhile. I might consider visiting again if I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Javier's multiple times and have always enjoyed the experience. The service is consistently friendly and attentive. I recently tried their carne tampiqueña, which was cooked to perfection and came with sides that complemented it well. One thing I'll note is that while the food is delicious, it can be a bit pricey, especially for lunch. Highly recommend making a reservation, as it can get crowded. Overall, a superb dining option in Irvine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend Javier's for a night out! The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. I ordered the duck tacos and they were out of sight flavorful! The price is heavy, so I had to share a dessert, but it was worth every bite. The complimentary chips and salsa are among the best I've had. Can't wait to return and try their mariscos next time. A great spot to celebrate! " (*Curated Review*)

" On our last visit, we were greeted by a warm and joyful atmosphere. The restaurant has a lively interior that's perfect for gatherings. My party loved the ceviche with its zesty kick, and the chips were remarkably fresh! I had the mole chicken, and while it was tasty, I thought it could be a little more authentic in flavor. The high prices can be a little off-putting, but the overall experience brought a smile back to our faces. I would recommend Javier's for a joyful outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Javier's for a special occasion and we were not disappointed. The restaurant has a beautiful decor that sets a wonderful vibe. The service was excellent; our server was friendly and very attentive. We enjoyed the chips and salsa to start, and then moved on to various entrees. The combination of flavors in my carne asada was impressive, and my kids raved about their shrimp dishes. The portions were generous enough to leave everyone satisfied. We'll definitely be returning for a celebratory meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Javier's, and I was eager to try it out given its reputation. The atmosphere dazzled me as soon as I walked in—it felt upscale and intimate. The chips and salsa were a solid start, but the highlight was definitely the chicken mole; it was exquisite! Though my dining companion found their shrimp tacos to be a bit bland, I really enjoyed my meal overall. Watch out for the prices though; they run on the higher side for Mexican food, but the quality is undeniable! Would come again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here after hearing great things, but it fell a little flat for me. The atmosphere was lively and elegant, but the food was just okay. I had the lobster enchiladas, which sounded great but lacked flavor. Service was friendly, but we had to wait too long for our drinks to arrive. All in all, it's a nice spot, but I expected more from the food given the prices. " (*Curated Review*)
