I really do not like leaving bad reviews, but in this case I feel like I have to.

From the moment you walk into the restaurant, the smell of mold and humidity hits you immediately. It is extremely strong. It was so overwhelming that it triggered allergies for me and my family. The host who greeted us was not friendly at all. The décor is just okay, nothing special. The space itself is very uncomfortable. The tables and chairs are small and cramped.

When we were seated, there was an open napkin on the table. I mentioned it to one of the servers, and another server told him in Spanish laughing that they had been using that napkin to clean a lamp, not realizing that I also speak Spanish. I immediately asked them to remove everything from the table. From the very beginning, our server was rude. The customer service was simply terrible.

The chips and salsas they bring to the table did not taste fresh or authentic at all.

Our server recommended the Filete Cantinflas to my husband, saying it was the house favorite. It was not. The steak was extremely small, and the sauce had no flavor whatsoever. I ordered the carne asada, which was also very small and completely bland. The only good thing on my plate was the rice. My daughter ordered the fajitas. The meat was burned and literally had about five small pieces of meat. My son ordered the pollo al ajillo, and that was flavorless as well.

Trying to salvage the experience, we ordered dessert. We had two tres leches cakes and a key lime pie. I have never tasted desserts so bad. The tres leches was dry, and the key lime pie tasted like it had been sitting in the refrigerator for a long time.

We paid 200 dollars for this meal, and we did not order any alcoholic drinks. We only had water, and my daughter ordered a Shirley Temple. This is Mexican food, which is usually simple and full of flavor. There was nothing special about any of it. It honestly felt like we were paying 200 dollars for valet parking and the location.

Without a doubt, this has been the worst restaurant experience of my life. I would not recommend this place to anyone. ️

Came to Javier’s to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it totally delivered! We kicked things off with their fresh ceviche as an appetizer; super bright, citrusy, and packed with flavor. It was the ideal light starter.
For the main course, we went straight for their signature Filete Cantinflas (the steak with cheese inside), which is hands-down one of their specialties. The tenderloin was juicy and perfectly cooked, stuffed with that melty Chihuahua cheese and seasoned butter—such a decadent, gooey surprise in every bite! Topped with the mild chile mulato sauce and avocado, it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth it.
The martinis were excellent too; crisp, strong, and just the right touch to toast the birthday vibes. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the atmosphere had that lively upscale energy.

Reservations highly recommended – walked in and no wait.
Traveled to Dallas just to have dinner here and was not disappointed. The service from the table staff to management was top tier and they made us feel like we were the only people there.
Great food recommendations and I thankfully opted to be surprised – Filete Cantinflas. Full of flavor.
You must try the adult dessert beverage for after dinner cocktails. Worth the show!

Great cigar lounge but probably the worst spicy skinny marg I’ve ever had. They were so kind to us, even gave us a free cigar. Didn’t feel rushed, they offer valet, and I love that they have matches.

The vintage, clubby vibe is cool and the margaritas were on point, but the food didn’t quite match the price tag. It was loud where we sat and a bit of cigar lounge aroma drifted in, and the wait between courses ran long. Valet-only parking adds a little friction, overall fine for the ambiance, just manage expectations.

This place is awesome!

The vibe of the restaurant is very moody and Mexican vintage! Although the seating could be a bit more comfortable but I do not mind it.

The drinks are very yummy and not too sweet! The food is also great, we got the combo nachos, the filet Cantinflas, and I ordered a side of shrimp with their garlic sauce!

From the valet’s to the hostess to the waitstaff, everyone is very welcoming and friendly. On a warm spring evening, the patio is the perfect place to sit with friends and enjoy the delicious Mexican food. The vibes inside feel like you could be at a nice restaurant down in San Miguel. Javier’s is one of those restaurants that adds character to the neighborhood and consistently delivers a great dining experience.

This was our family’s first time at Javier’s and we had an overall great experience – I was I could give 4.5 stars. We had family come in from out of town and we wanted to take them to a place well-known in Dallas for great experiences and wonderful food. I always appreciate when you can make a reservation, although we had to call the restaurant as opposed to being able to do it online. We were seated as soon as we got there and I was pleased that we (there were 7 of us) were put at a round table which always makes for great conversation where no one feels left out. The ambiance inside is wonderful and they even have spots where you can tuck away for a more quiet and secluded experience.

The food and drinks did not disappoint! They don’t have a kid’s menu, but if you ask they can make something special and much simpler for them. My daughter ordered the beef/steak and thought it was absolutely delicious – she is a very picky eater. The only miss with our experience was that there was cheese on our beans and it wasn’t indicated on the menu. Seems small, but as someone who doesn’t enjoy cheese on their food I am always careful to read what’s in my food and I’m sure to order it without cheese. Both my daughter and I received the beans with cheese on them so we had to ask them to remake it without it. Not overall terrible, and they fixed the issue quickly, but something to note if you’re like us and you don’t want cheese on your food.
