   had the taquitos, filet mignon, and salmon — they were all really delicious. we also had 5 drinks, 2 martinis and 3 margaritas. all of them were honestly really gross except maybe the guava marg. there’s a way to make a drink strong but still taste good. these tasted like straight liquor, we couldn’t taste any of the flavors mentioned on the menu. Our server would only come by when he saw our drink empty. besides that, he never checked on us at all. the vibe is really nice though and the music playing was good. it was just a shame that it was a high cost with mediocre service and drinks. the stars are for the food mainly that honestly saved the night.

   I absolutely love the renovations done at this Javier. I felt as if I was truly in LATAM! The food was great, as always. The staff 100/10!

   Our group had a really great time. The only thing we were disappointed by was I ordered an appetizer & never received it. Other than that, everything was fine.

   Very disappointed; the new remodel is beautiful, although we enjoyed the old interior as well. The real disappointment though was paying $36 for two tacos that were comparable to Taco Bell. (ridiculous machine made hardshell, very little meat inside). We also ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop which was VERY good, and well worth the $50 price tag. It's NOT AT ALL about the money...we paid for the (overpriced tourist) drinks because we knew where we were and like the view and all of the people watching...but Javier should be ashamed (is he even Mexican??) at the presentation of the Baja street tacos....or maybe not, because the restaurant was packed with wanna-be's and influencer posers. The lack of dress code dumbed down the restaurant (Tshirts and caps??!!). This place is no longer high-end, except for the price they charge you. I may live local, but I think this is my last visit to Javiers (don't feel bad, I wouldn't go to Red O either)....I think I'll stick to Mastro's and Gulfstream.

    Everything from the friendly hostess to the helpful server was terrific. Food was very good and came out hot. Prices are fair.
