The service was excellent and the food was good. We were seated right away at our reservation time. However the music was so loud at 6pm on a Friday we could barely hear each other at the table. The music was at club volume the entire evening. Although the food was all very tasty, it was nowhere near the quality expected for the prices charged. You can get the same meal if not better at many other Mexican food restaurants throughout San Diego for half the cost. We did try a few of their signature margaritas and they were delicious!

Wonderful food and a very lively setting, difficult to talk over the music however, suggest a little less noise from the overhead music but otherwise wonderful

Live across the street and love coming here. Javier’s is always a good spot no matter which location. Must say this San Diego location might be the best one I’ve been to!

Lighting was so low, we needed to use our cell phones to see the menus as well as what was served on our plates. Music was too loud for any kind of conversation. Fish. Alaskan halibut was requested grilled. 1”x2.5” piece must have been sous vide and was tasteless. Service was good

Great food & service per usual; took a little long as they were packed; and it was louder than we were used to making conversation difficult.

Beautiful venue. Food is very inauthentic/Americanized. Cocktails are uninspired - they use Squirt for their Palomas but charge $20+. Just know if you are going here, you paying for the ambiance.

The service was very slow this time it took one hour for our food to come to our table. I have been there a few times and it was never this bad.

Consistently excellent restaurant. Service and food are 5 star and elevated. Ambiance is lively and beautiful. Great location to meet people for a dinner or a drink. Noise level is perfect- festive, but can hear each other.

Delicious food-started with cheesy Queso Fundido & Guacamole. Entrees were Camerones Rancheros, Carnitas, & Ensalada de Asada...all fresh, hot, and well seasoned. Ambience is always inviting, beautiful and fun. We sat at an outside table (little noisy-backed up to valet drop off out front)-but was a good time. Javier's margaritas w/Grand Marnier were over ice, yummy, and you could taste the tequila (can't say that for a lot of places)...service was good, but a little slow. It was a fun Sunday night! Our guests were impressed. We will be back.
