The Irvine Spectrum location has a great energy and I’ve always wanted to try it, especially knowing Kobe Bryant was a big fan of Javier’s (even if it was not this exact spot). My wife and I came on a kid-free double date with friends, which basically never happens, and we ended up having an awesome night.

The place is beautiful inside, our server was attentive without being overbearing, the food hit the spot, the drinks were on point, and dessert wrapped everything up perfectly.

I will not overdo the breakdown but the chips and salsa are ridiculous. We ate way too much before ordering. The guacamole is great too. We started with the aguachile and, if you are into shrimp, it is a must.

For the mains we had the steak fajitas, the trio de enchiladas del mar, and the mole poblano. If I had to rank them I would put the enchiladas first, the mole second, and the fajitas last. For dessert we tried the tres leches which none of us loved, the churros which were really good and made in-house, and the cornbread which was the surprise winner. The ice cream makes it even better.

Drinks were strong. We started with spicy margaritas and then tried a spicy pepino margarita. Both are very refreshing and absolutely worth ordering.

The price was not bad at all considering how much we ordered and how good the service was. I would definitely come back, though part of me wants to try the Newport location next since I have heard so much about it.

Thanks to Javier’s for giving four tired parents a stress free night out.

Recently visited for my bday back in September and went back a few days ago this month of October to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It’s the best atmosphere. The best tasty Mexican food I’ve ever had. Most amazing customer service from every employee there. Lady stationed in the restroom is very nice and polite. Waiters are very friendly and welcoming. The environment is nice and relaxing to have a great time. Drinks are my fav 10/10

Pretty underwhelming. The food was ordinary—nothing memorable or unique for the price point. Portions were fine but flavors felt flat, and the dishes didn’t justify the premium. The space is nice and the service was decent, but overall it’s more about the scene than the food. For what it costs, I expected much better.

Great energy and lots of seating…enjoyed the view of the fireplace. Table chips were inconsisitent…some undercooked…little too much salt for my liking. But salsa was fresh and a nice way to mask the saltiness.

Shrimp and crab enchiladas were outstanding! Plenty of flavor, loved the filling, and the sauce was delicious…but for over $30 it would have been nice to include a small salad or a side of rice.

I went to Javier’s Irvine with my friend and the experience was amazing. The staff is super attentive, always checking in to see what you need, and they make you feel welcome from the very first moment. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying with friends or a date.

I tried the chile relleno and it was delicious, with that authentic touch you look for in Mexican food. Everything on the menu looked appetizing and well presented. Definitely we’ll be back very soon.

Highly recommend it if you’re looking for great food and a place where you feel comfortable! ❤️

The food was excellent. We had a variety of Mexican dishes at our table, from salads to quesadillas and more. Everyone was pleased with the taste and quality of their food. The margarita was small but strong and tasty. The prices are definitely on the higher side for higher quality. Parking was in one of the garages for the spectrum shopping center. We would eat here again.
