First time dinning at Javier's in Irvine, our usual
First time dinning at Javier's in Irvine, our usual Javier's dinning experience is always in Newport. The service here was great from the manager to the host to waiters and the bussers, I would say great service and they took care of us. I

FOOD was bland short ribs were not like your average ribs and for 55 buck!! The prices were insane but my family's were pretty good I guess the taste like your standard enchiladas but for 50 bucks and over! They are just taxing you the ambiance

flavorful cocktail drinks! music and ambience always a plus for me but the food is amazing . so much more flavor then any other similar restaurant. the tomahawk porkchop is my go to. never fails . always consistent.
Service has absolutely gone down at this location.
Sat in the patio yesterday mid afternoon with only one other table occupied. Once seated the chips were delivered without a single word. Not a hello, welcome anything. This was not a language issue. We had both English and Spanish-speaking guests who

I had been here a couple of times and thought it was pretty good overall. The food is decent, but definitely not authentic. But the reason I give it a 1 star this time is because the service was horrible. It took forever to order, then much too long

We drove 20-30 minutes to Havier's yesterday with three toddlers and a newborn, hoping to enjoy some high-quality Mexican food with friends. Even parents deserve a nice dinner once in a while. When we arrived, the hostess refused to seat us beca
Their prices are too high even in these times.
Good quality has gone downhill. Worst beef taco I've ever had. Meat was dry and like shoe leather. Enchilada was ok but the red sauce was bland. Service was still great but again they have priced themselves out of business.
Exceeded all expectations
Surprisingly delicious! The restaurant has an engaging and warm vibe. The food came out quickly for a busy Saturday night. Crab fan? Enjoy a Dungeness crab enchilada! The guacamole is smooth and a great way to start your dinner!

Food is way overpriced and not as good of quality as it used to be. $34 dollars for chicken enchiladas and that didn't even include rice and beans! Also dad ordered a cheese enchilada with a beef taco and the beef was so dry it was crunchy! Won&

Over priced ok food Not the value it used to be Will not go back Service is good $40 for fajitas; give me a break Ambiance is fine
fancy place, good service, delicious food.
..lively at night!! I think these are the things that I saw there. I prefer the Newport one, but this was the same quality!
I have been to Javier's in Newport Beach twice.
Each time, the atmosphere inside the restaurant has been busy and festive, and the waitstaff has been very attentive (5 stars to the waitstaff) and the food has been good (3-4 stars). We had a reservation and were seated quickly at a table near some

I like the Irvine location way better than Crystal Cove.
Much less of a scene. The food is always good to excellent, if a bit pricey. Top notch service too. Drinks and a modest dinner was over $200 on a random Thursday night for 2 people. I do wish they included rice and beans with more of the entrees-

Excellent food, great service and the ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic! I was solo Dining so ate at the bar and the only challenge was deciding between all of the delicious menu options! I settled on the fajitas and they were a 10/10!

Went to Javier's for a team happy hour.
This is located in the Irvine Spectrum, so there were not any issues with finding a spot for parking. It was busy at that time, so expect to park on level 3 after you're going around 6:00pm We had a reservation for party of 9. They will allow fo

Extremely Disappointing Experience at Javier’s Irvine Ca
Dear Javier’s Management, I rarely write reviews, but my recent experience at Javier’s Mexican Food Restaurant in Irvine was so appalling that I feel compelled to share it in hopes of saving others from a similar fate. While the restaurant’s f
Delicious food
Very busy restaurant, must have reservations to prevent a long wait. Food was delicious. Drinks were perfect.never made us feel pressured to leave.
Elevated Mexican Food ? That is somewhat of a stretch .
.the ambience and decor I can say elevated but the food itself is comparable to a local taco stand which are ubiquitous in this area. Pulpo ceviche , fresh guacamole is what was ordered this time. The ceviche itself is indistinguishable from any that
Our server was awesome.
Very attentive. Food was good. Drinks were yummy. The atmosphere is really nice. Get there early though cause you will be waiting just a bit because it's a very popular place.
What is it to say about this magical place.
The location between Newport and Laguna and the view over the Pacific Ocean is just perfect. The Mexican food has been elevated to a level that I've never seen before (I'm Mexican). Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. The service is be

Javier's is really good! It can be a bit over-priced, but the ambiance and service usually make up for it. The chips and salsa are 10/10, too! The habanero salsa is extra $, but it's really great and spicy if you're into that.
Our experience was wonderful at Javier's.
We came for lunch around 11:30am on a Saturday without a reservation, and they were able to seat us right away. We ordered the Cabo Azul and a combo platter. The Cabo Azul was worth trying again! Generous portions of lobster, crab, and shrimp, and th

I came in with a few friends for drinks and food.
Drinks were okay, food was horrible. A friend and I shared the " La Tablita" for two. The skirt steak was horrible. It was so chewy. Every time I took a bite, I had to spit it out in a napkin. This place is not worth the hype. Not authentic
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place.
Food was mediocre at best. They charge you $35.00 for a regular burrito with 1 ounce of meat. I went to the other Javier's location in Crystal Cove and the experience was exceptional but the Javier's in the Irvine Spectrum was not. I even complained
We were a party of 10, celebrating a birthday.
I'll start by saying the service and drinks were good. Guac. appetizer was fine and I liked the spice in the salsa.The ambience of the place is cool. The waiter however, kept trying to upsell us on stuff, which got a little annoying. I ordered the mo
Javier's at Irvine Spectrum is cracking.
On weekends you will see long lines and happy loiterers because they just had a satisfying meal in a beautiful restaurant. The food here is like the nicest Mexican dish you'd ever find. The cost also reflects as such. The service too. A lot of their

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Javier's Restaurant - Irvine at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Javier's Restaurant - Irvine page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Javier's Restaurant - Irvine to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Javier's Restaurant - Irvine!
