Probably the classiest Mexican restaurant in DFW, with an old school vibe. Having said that, why are they serving ANDES chocolate at the end for such a classy place?
It is pricey but that's expected. Top shelf house margaritas are amazing.
Started off by walking home last night and had to stop by here. Food smelled amazing we couldn't just walk away! I ordered Filete Con Champiñones. SO TENDER! I loved the Brandy and mushroom sauce it came with. The seasonal veggies were also a huge hit! 😋 I also ordered a pineapple margarita and had an order of chips and salsa. My husband ordered a chicken mole dish. He offered a bite, and the chicken was also beautifully tender! It was a chilly night, but the patio was nicely heated. The service was outstanding. For a busy looking night, our food came out before we could finish our chips! I only have one complaint and it's not even a huge complaint: the music felt too pop-esque and modern. I was hoping for something a little bit more authentic. I love how they stayed on a romantic Playlist, but hearing Bruno mars at a gourmet Mexican restaurant threw me off! Not bad music, I just wish it fit the vibe of the place more.
Incredible first visit! Highly recommend the Sampler Platter (possibly the best quail), the Filete Durango, and the Snapper Marinero! So looking forward to returning to dine and having one of Victor's special Margaritas, Espresso Martinis, and the incredible Cafe Pierre!
Well this was just an incredible experience! Our friends who live in Dallas made a reservation here while we were visiting and it was stupendous. Parking is a huge challenge, unless you valet your Lamborghini that is. The restaurant itself is very cramped and a bit tight to navigate and get to your table. But the margaritas, the pollo entrée with mole sauce, and chicken nachos, the chips and salsa!! Wowww. Everything was incredible. The service was first rate. I mean really really a black tie affair, definitely an upper tier restaurant. You will know what you are paying for. Last thing is, make sure you get the Cafe Pierre for dessert. It is a flambe after dinner drink with cinnamon and 151 rum that was a sumptuous treat.
We had an amazing time. The food at Javier's was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing.
I had "Cantinflas". The beef was tender & juicy, with flavor that was sooo good!
I Highly recommended this establishment.
Javier’s is a unique but delicious Mexican restaurant in Dallas with great vibes. If you are expecting traditional Tex Mex, then Javier’s may not be your spot, but the menu is full of unique and delicious options. I highly recommend the Filete Cantiflas with a house margarita and a cigar if you are feeling up to it. The atmosphere is top notch and they have a great patio with heaters on nice nights.
This place is about as “Dallas” as Dallas gets, beginning with the impressive stable of luxury vehicles lined up at the valet stand. Wonderful in every way; classic, lively atmosphere and outstanding Tex-Mex fare. Very much a Park Cities institution. Their signature dish (a steak stuffed with melted cheese) is as good as it sounds. And the chips and salsa are brought out with butter. Need I say more? Be sure to phone in a reservation as they don’t take them online and wait times on a weekend evening can run several hours.
Great place! You actually get seated by Javier. Great atmosphere and the wait staff is excellent! Try to get Carlos. We will definitely be back. It has been around since 1977 so they are doing a lot of things right. Make a reservation because this place gets packed. They also have a cigar lounge and parking is valet. Do yourself a favor and get the key lime pie for dessert .
Always an amazing meal, and the chips are obviously addictive. Great Durango steak. Always my favorite.
This place was packed, and obviously it was for a good reason. The experience was incredible. The food was amazing, servers were so gracious, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Wide selection of food and drinks, and the history of the place is a great story! Definitely recommend!
Has anyone ever had a bad time at Javier’s? Doubt it. My husband and I visited on Valentine’s Day evening so you can imagine how busy it was, but that didn’t seem to slow them down. We had reservations and were seated immediately after valeting. Our server was friendly and provided great drink/food recommendations throughout the night. The cocktails were fresh, the food was hot and the desserts were amazing. Highly recommend trying the black bean soup and the house special, “Filete Cantinflas”.
Food is unbelievable. Atmosphere has a vibe that is unmistakable. Service impeccable. But above and beyond that is the fact my drivers license and credit card were personally returned to my home by owner Javier! Wow!! How unheard of is that?! Highly highly recommend.
We showed up without a reservation after our flight back from NYC. It was 7:30 on a Friday night. They offered us a 45 minute wait, a table outside on the balcony (105 outside), or two seats at the bar. I don't normally like eating at the bar but in this case we did and man was it a good decision. The two gentlemen running the bar were outstanding, not just with us but the entire room. Our food, was a 10 out of 10 and the service was easily a 15. Highly recommend and will be going back!
Simply the best overall authentic Mexican restaurant in metro Dallas. Located near Highland Park I highly recommend you make a reservation.
The fresh grouper with rice and black beans is top notch both in preparation and presentation. The chips with homemade salsa served warm is simply the best you will find anywhere.
The service is old school and each table is given outstanding attention. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food and service you receive.
Valet parking is an added bonus.
