    Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)

    This restaurant is shockingly good. The food is excellent, and the entire team is welcoming and attentive. We have dined there 6 times, and each time is amazing. The only criticism is the air conditioning vents are a bit aggressive! They offer to cut some of the cool wind but it doesn’t warm it up much. A warm sweater is a must!

    I had a friend in from Charlotte, NC who I had not seen for sometime. West End was a perfect setting to catch up and reminisce. Fernanda and Christian's service was outstanding as always. Upon my recommendation, my friend had the clam chowder (one of the best in San Diego) and the salmon burger - he loved everything. My meal was enjoyable as always. Thank you all for making this special lunch so nice. See you again soon.
