Javier's San Diego Reviews
Came here on a Saturday evening and the vibes were awesome.
Busy, but not in a bad way. Our server, Angel was hilarious and attentive. The food was great, tried the trio of ceviche and ordered a couple platters for the table to share. It was more than enough food for us. Now I see why everybody likes this pla
At the outset, we were blown away by the beautiful ambiance.
The chips & salsa were super delicious. The vegetarian enchiladas were exceptional. The sopas were super tasty. We finished off with the best tasting churros & vanilla bean ice cream. The service was amazing and attentive.
We were told this was a nice place tk eat.
We had the filets and ribs. Appetizer was had the guacamole and margaritas. The presentation of the food was great. Waiters and bus boys were attentive and polite. Food was good and filling. It is pricey two people 217 but once in a while for a n

I've been here a handful of times and I always end up ordering the steak tray which is around $100 it'll feed 2-3 people and honestly just tastes amazing the atmosphere is super loud so If you're not into that then this place is not fo

so again, this was a jaunt across the street from the hotel we were staying at in La Jolla on a business trip and needed something tasty and Mexican so we decided to descend upon Javier's based on a colleague's daughter's recommendatio
Been twice, both times the food disappointed.
What can I say, at any price the food would be disappointing. Nice place, service is fair, just expected more. Ambiance is nice, certainly different, but when I go out to eat, I'm going for the food. I don't plan on adding it to my curre
The stars are for the decor.
Weird vibe. The food was expensive and just okay. 2 enchiladas for $40 without rice/beans! We sat at the bar and server seemed annoyed to take our order. No water or even utensils offered. The drinks were good but again overpriced. Shame we have been
Really beautiful restaurant! They have amazing drinks and
Really beautiful restaurant! They have amazing drinks and the great enchiladas. Service is fairly quick even when busy.

My husband made reservations at Javier's for our 15th wedding anniversary on 10/16. We were seated right away near a fire bowl, which my husband asked to have lit, since it was starting to get chilly. The atmosphere was unique and inviting. We b

We had a table of ten and decided to order a few servings of the La Tablita to share. It worked out perfectly -- the right amount of food for our party, and everything was so delicious. Our waitress, Alex, provided excellent service. She was very fri

Came here for a birthday dinner yesterday and it was a pretty great experience. The whole place has a really cool and stylish vibe with loud music, nice decor and booths and a middle bar area. Staff were all very friendly and checked up on us to refi
What a fantastic experience.
The food was delicious. great ambiance. Alberto was our server and he was great! Highly recommend for a special occasion.
I love Javier's and everyone I know loves Javier's.

The vibes was amazing, the drinks were tasty, the steak was like butter, and our service was one of a kind! I will definitely be coming back.
Amazing dinner ! The service was even better.
Alberto was extremely kind and fast to every need. He made our experience extremely comfortable. We will be coming back :)

The spicy margarita! I have dreams about this drink! The atmosphere of the place is dreamy! The food is pretty darn good, not winning a Michelin star but if you want to feel like you ate well, you are in good hands. I'm coming back for sure
Avoid. Expensive food and drinks. Disrespectful staff.
Avoid this place if you don’t want to set yourself up for ruining your day or night. Expensive food and drinks. Disrespectful manager. If it starts with the top, what more can you expect. No humility. Giant chip on the shoulder.
We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday.
The food was okay, but the service was below average compared to other restaurants. The server didn't seem to care about our birthday celebration. My husband ordered a cocktail and wasn't satisfied with it, and although he expressed his con
Worst experience I've ever had! My wife got super sick
Worst experience I've ever had! My wife got super sick right after eating the soft tacos, I called today and the manager Edwin told me we can't do nothing about it! Are you kidding me!? After coming in here for years and supporting with fam
Expensive food.
Extremely disrespectful manager. They over charged us on drinks just because we didn't order a full dinner with them. Only ordered some snacks, which were mediocre. Manager was rude and disrespectful when I contested the bill. Chip on the should

My food came a couple of times incorrect but service always nice and taking care of their customers and ambiance is very nice. I wish they have music little louder so I don't need to hear next tables business talks :)

Another thanks to Tik Tokers for influencing me to check out Javier's. This place is beautiful, the service was fast, drinks are delicious and there's endless bomb salsa and chips. My only gripe, I order the trio enchiladas. The sauce on

We went here for an early dinner before shopping :D Service was so attentive, our drinks were never empty! I loved the music as well. We will definitely be returning here. Cant forget to recommend the churro with ice cream dessert
The food was sub standard.
Service was good. The food has no taste. For the value, the food was not worth it. I will not return.
While the venue is beautiful, there was much to be desired
While the venue is beautiful, there was much to be desired with the food. Call me crazy but four shrimp and a cup of rice is not worth $50. The service was lovely, but the food is not worth the price imo.
Extreme disappointment, fajitas were dry, taquitos were
Extreme disappointment, fajitas were dry, taquitos were hard/ over cooked like wood (convinced they came from Costco, pork chop flavorless. Come here if you wanna show your date you don't mind wasting money. Cause nothing on this menu is cheap.
Great atmosphere! You feel like you're in Baja.
Food and drinks are awesome but it just got too pricey so we had to stop going!
Took a large group for killer Mexican--service was spot-on.
Fajita platters sizzled with five-star flavor. Guac, ceviche, and queso were addictive starters. Ended with warm churros and ice cream bliss. Handcrafted margaritas? Chef's kiss. Cozy, vibrant ambiance. Not cheap, but totally worth the treat for
The service and ambiance was 10/10.
I ordered an espresso martini and it did not disappoint! The ceviche was great too! Overall Javier's is great, but it is very overpriced for Mexican food.

Ambiance is classy, Ropes in the ceiling, chandeliers are unique. Private dining is nice but still a bit noisy. Pipes near the bathroom are unusual. Javier sign is hidden by plants. Steak was prepared great!
Outstanding food and service.
. Drinks are very strong.. atmosphere is very cozy, and very romantic..
This is the third Javier's location I've been too.
This one definitely feels more like a club. It was very noisy and they were playing upbeat music. We had reservations for dinner at 8 pm. When we checking in we were told they were 30 mins behind and barely seating their 7:30 parties. We decided to w
Javier's may be my favorite restaurant in San Diego.
Every time is so good. The drinks, amazing. Service, amazing and attentive. Atmosphere, gorgeous.... Food , I usually switch it up but I love the filet mignon(it's buttery cuts so easily) and lobster also the mole poblano. The tres leches... ama

Horrible experience! We had an 8 PM reservation and weren't seated for almost an hour. When we were finally seated, they placed us next to a loud, drunk large group. We came to enjoy dinner as a family but left stressed and disappointed. Never h
Way overrated, beware!
I really wanted to like this restaurant. We done out frequently and love trying new places but this place is a complete joke. Rude host, the food has really gone down in quality. Common for chains when they get older and shift to a focus on driving p
Outstanding Mexican Cuisine
My wife, daughter, and I tried Javier’s for the first time when visiting the Westfield UTC mall today. (First-time visitors to the mall should know that there is no good signage directing you to the escalators that take you straight to Javier’s e
Good place
Came to San Diego on a whip, heard a lot of this place. Hotel had recommended it too. Looks really nice outside and inside. Great date spot.
Yum!
Some kind, deep pocketed, and seducing vendors have taken me out for full fancy dinners here recently. Javier's ritzy, glamourous, and elegant ambience never disappoints. Javier's team of hostesses, bus boys, waiters, and managers are top n
Oh wow!!
Party of 10 for birthday meal and everything that came out was divine!! Drinks are replaced in good time and my meal of filet mignon with lobster and a side order of white shrimp was absolutely out of this world, accompanied by a White Russian was su
Lacking flavor disappointing trip
Easter lunch out of town super excited to finally get good Mexican food Vegetarian, steak, seafood & a couple of margarita’s. Friendly staff exceptional atmosphere wow! I wish they start tasting the food before serving 😪 whoever is manag
Welp, this was just super disappointing.
After seeing Javier's while in Vegas, thought I would give the La Jolla restaurant a try. Wow, just shockingly horrible. Had a reservation for 8:30pm, walked in at 8:37 (the signage and directions for the facility are horrible if you park in the actu

The food is delicious and the ambiance is absolutely gorgeous. The service is kind and friendly. The only reason one star is knocked off is due to the outrageous prices. One of the times I've been hear, I got a $50 shrimp dish that had only 5 small p
Excellent food and devise was outstanding.
The atmosphere is live a vibrant. Good tequila night...
Delicious Southwestern Mexican food.
Meat Entrees were generously portioned and flavors were right on the money. We've ordered the Carnitas, Steak fajita, and Javier special salad with steak. Could have used more lettuce in the salad, though... salad green was bit small! Jalapeños M
Came to Javier's La Jolla with friends.
It was pretty packed for a Friday evening. Our server was super attentive and prompt. I ordered the Sea bass which was a recommendation from our server, it was super yummy. Shrimp ceviche was also a hit along with the flan for dessert. Worth it!

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Javier's San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Javier's San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Javier's San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Javier's San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Javier's San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
