The food is always great! There has never been one dish that has disappointed me! My son loves coming here for the smiley face pancake breakfast. The service has always been great every visit. The staff in the whole facility make you feel like home, and always have a positive additude. The environment is always cozy. I live how they always have the dining area decorated for every holiday! read more

We have already been to Javier's Diner twice in our first week here visiting our son and daughter in law. First of all what a cute place! Decorated so fun for Halloween and a great outside patio that allows dogs! We were seated right away and on both visits we had excellent servers. They hustled around tables and constantly checked on orders and drink refills. The absolute best part of our visit was the food! Big, hot portions were served quickly and everyone in our party was happy with what they ordered! I love their green chili sauce, it's not spicy but very flavorful! Coffee was surprisingly good too! I highly recommend Javier's Diner. So far we have only been for breakfast but I will update my review when we go back for dinner! read more

Delicious little Mexican diner. Breakfast all day. Huge portions and great service. Will definitely go back.

Best food for a hole in the wall Mexican brunch vibe! My recommendation is the chile rellano plate! The green chile is just amazing and flavorful! Ambiance is quaint and the team always serves! The service is beyond what I can speak of anywhere else! read more

Javier's Diner - Interior - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This rating was based on the Javiers burrito alone but sevice, smiles and promptnesxs boxes were all checked off! They did my sausage breakfast burrito "Christmas style" smothered red and green chile, so life was pretty complete after this morning. I also hope they enjoy a long life for representing Hispanic cultures through food and not let Tennyson Street glide into a cultureless vacuum independent of any connections to the people from Mexico and Spain that have been in Colorado a very long time. A burrito should be the state official cuisine. read more

Just came back to dine in. (Got a breakfast burrito to go before). This place is fast, great service, and the food amazing. Most dishes can also be done vegetarian style. I had the tamale breakfast with vegetarian tamales and green chili. I'm glad I split it because it was enough food for too. Potatoes and eggs were a perfect cook. Green chili warm, not too spicy for most, and the tamale excellent. And this was for breakfast! It's a real diner with diner menu and great options, with more Mexican breakfast than just the standard huevos rancheros. This is my new go to breakfast diner in Denver ! read more

When we are in CO J&C is a must for us! And now our 8yr old makes sure we come here as well! The staff has always been friendly, the food is amazing! Our go-to is Javier's burrito but other items on the menu are also delicious. Menudo; tamales, tacos, etc. We have been coming here for 18+yrs and as long as they are around we will be coming, even if we don't live in CO anymore. read more

We are 4 months new to Denver, we've explored a few restaurants in our area off of Tennyson in Berkley. We decided upon this place for breakfast and what a good choice that was! Upon approach, I was a bit hesitant as the menu pics in the window were a bit faded However......, the food was incredible! Everything was very tasty and flavorful, the chips and salsa was fantastic and our service was sooooo genuine, attentive and kind! The interior is authentic/ typical of what I would expect in Az- nothing fancy however, we are already planning a dinner here with incoming family next week. If you want great tasting food, not expensive, kind people.... Make the choice to come here. read more

It has been a good 15 years since I've visited Javier's and it was called Javier and C back then. It has since been sold. I was open to revisiting it as my friend has wanted to try this place so it was a go. From what I recollect, it was basic diner food and nothing knocked my socks off. The menu has changed significantly as it is primarily Mexican fare now. Mexican fare was offered before but I recall there being items like hamburgers available. The setup is essentially the same. They serve liquor now and there are lights that flash under the bar area. The music playing was an eclectic mix of decades with some dance music thrown in. It was kind of funny considering the clientele. While we were there, a lot of the old neighborhood inhabitants popped in. They didn't really have any clientele that reflects what the neighborhood demographic has become. We actually liked that about this place. It is a relic from the past that has withstood the test of time, although I wonder how long they will be able to stay around as this is a prime piece of real estate with parking. They serve the classic orange tinted green chile studded gravy served all around Colorado. My dining companion enjoyed his breakfast burrito very much. Uncharacteristically, I wasn't in the mood for Mexican so I opted for a simple BLT. It was certainly overpriced and kind of skimpy with two pieces of bacon but it was enough food for me. It essentially was a lettuce sandwich with a couple of slices of tomato. The fries were just frozen ones freshly fried back to life. Most of those were left abandoned on the plate. This was a very poor value and borderline insulting given the price. Service was a little slow and scattered but there wasn't a whole lot of expectation there. The food is fine but certainly I can easily do better at home, especially for the price. I could have gone to one of the new places on Tennyson and gotten a better sandwich within the same price range or maybe a little bit less expensive. And Tacos Jalisco is definitely better Mexican food just a little further east on 38th. read more

Lovely atmosphere, like the reggae they play. Food was good and came quick would recommend!

"What are we celebrating?" and "can I take your picture?" was just the beginning of a great dining experience here at Javier's. It was a beautiful Saturday morning so we opted for sitting outside where there was significant seating options. They have a video running showcasing their food, which influenced us to get the molcajete and I tell you, it did not disappoint. Filled to the brim with different meat options, cactus, jalapeño and green onion (I wish there could have been more of the cheese) and a tangy sauce made it so delectable. And my personal fave, it came with rice, beans, cheddar cheese, guac and sour cream. The service was so friendly and they really cared about your experience and that everything was up to par, including if the salsa was too spicy (grandmas sauce that is). The only thing to note is that their parking lot is a little tight for how busy it appears they get and the amount of seating inside so be patient or plan to walk from a side street. read more

Never get all your order at once! Have been several times and they always bring the toast late or never! Wait staff appears very nervous and I will leave it at that! Crazy running around, mumbling ! Rarely check on you and the breakfasts all taste the same and mostly vegetables greasy! Not a fan!!!! read more

We got takeout brunch from here a few weekends ago and it was DELICIOUS and the portions were HUGE! The service was also great as they labeled all of our food correctly (we have wheat allergies) and swiftly! This is a great place for a classic comforting brunch. We got the country fried steak (I'm from KY so I know good gravy) and the chilaquiles con huevos. Both were delicious! read more

If you're looking for a delicious Hispanic meal in Tenneyson area, I highly recommend checking out this spot! My experience here was fantastic from start to finish. The breakfast enchiladas were the highlight of my meal - smothered in green chile and eggs, they were bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend's breakfast burrito was equally impressive - it was huge and filled to the brim. One of the best things about this restaurant is their large patio, which is perfect in the summer. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal and soak up some sunshine while you're at it. We were there when someone was celebrating their birthday, and the staff got everyone singing along - it was such a fun and memorable diner. I was also pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait long for a table, even though it was 11:00 am on a Sunday - a rarity in the brunch scene! Cant wait to go back. read more

Mom and Pop, Colorado-Style Mexican cuisine. This place is a favorite for breakfast. In addition to all the Mexican favorites, it also boasts a pretty expansive "North-of-the-border" breakfast menu, so if you're with a party of mixed tastes and wants, this is the perfect breakfast spot. Everything from breakfast burritos and chiliquilas (my go-to) to waffles, pancakes and greek omelets! In addition they have a full lunch and dinner menu (including menudo and pozole - if those float your boat!). Gloria, Alejandro and the rest of the staff are super-friendly and super checked-in to the customers. Just and all-around great place. If you're there in good weather, they also have a fun patio. read more

Always drive by this place and wanted to know what it was all about. Staff was extremely friendly. My friends order was made with lamb and they are a vegetarian. It kind of made her stomach churn. She had pancakes too. The silverware was gone. She asked for syrup and another set of silverware. They forgot. My food was good. Atmosphere was great. They were extremely apologetic and accommodating with our bill. Great hospitality. I will definitely be returning to have another go around. read more

Javier's diner by far has some of the best service we've ever experienced! From the moment we arrived employees greeted us and made us feel welcome. The food and drinks were amazing! I had the steak and eggs which were beautifully seasoned. Our server noticed my fiancé and I were wearing our "bride" and "groom" hats and asked us if we were celebrating. We let him know that we were getting married the following week and instantly he and other staff members went above and beyond to make us feel special and celebrated. They played our first song on the jukebox and brought out a special dessert for us! If I could give this place more stars I would! Thank you Javier's diner! read more

Javier's is perfect. The service is top notch, the patio is so relaxing with the fountain in the middle and the shade at every table, and most importantly the food is fantastic. I always get the molcajete if there's two of us and the queso con chorizo. The staff is super friendly and very welcoming of dogs on the patio. They always give dog treats and provide water bowls. This place is such a gem, reasonably priced, laid back, and delicious. This is coming from a South Texas boy. read more

First time stopping in on a warm early fall morning. I sat outside by the fountain that provides a nice distraction from the road traffic and adds to the nice vibes here. My server was quick to stop by with menus and to take my drink order and delivered warm crispy tortilla chips with a very nicely spiced salsa. I had to hold back yo leave room for my Juevos Rancheros but, I did add a bowl of green chile because I couldn't resist which was tasty and perfect heat and consistency. My Juevos arrived quickly after the chili and what a huge portion it was! This was one of the best versions of Juevos Rancheros I have had in a long time. The Green Chile was spicier than what was in my side order and just spot-on perfect amount. The beans and potatoes both were delicious and full of flavor. My friend had a side of pancakes that I had to sample and wowee- I did not expect them to be so good but, they were. A bit crispy on the edges, light but yet dense in their way- I couldn't stop snacking on these and they did not overly fill me up. The menu is full of standards and some unique options and for the vegetarians like me, there is plenty to choose from and prices are good for the quantity and quality of food and experience. I can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner and am just sorry this was my first visit after living here for 10 years. I plan to keep an eye on the next live Mariachi for the next visit! read more

This place is a gem. Breakfast is the sweet spot and everything is good. The green chili is the best.

TOOK 70 MINUTES TO GET OUR FOOD. When the food finally did come, one person that was with us had ordered chicken and waffles and the chicken was frozen and bloody inside. Disgusting. Nothing else matters after this. Will never return here again. How are the reviews so good?? It was a horrible experience all the way around. Excruciating wait times and lackluster weight staff. They didn't even count the whole meal. What they did was comp and remake the chicken and waffles. We had to wait another 20 minutes for that to be done after the rest of us had already eaten. By this point, we were at the restaurant two hours. Painful, excruciating, and lots of brain damage. read more

Javiers is hands down best restaurant in Denver. Not only is everything on the menu mouth watering, the service best you'll ever find.

On a brisk winter morning, several city council members and I were craving Latinx cuisine, and Xavier's recommendation to go to Javier's was egg-sellent!! Only problem is... the egg shortage meant I had to focus my focus on weird vegetables and tortilla, but that was OK!! Exotic squash + shrimp + californiaflowers = Totes Yummerz!! The extra heating system also allowed breathability for my neoprene clothing. And great parking read more

The staff was very kind and goofy, but the food was average. We went for brunch and I had a build your own skillet - it was fairly bland. My friends got breakfast burritos and enchiladas. No one else raved about the food when the meal was done, so I assume theirs were only okay as well. A little pricey based on the quality. read more

Over the last year or so, this place has become one of my favorite locations for having breakfast. I always get good service, and I really like the choices on the menu. I have had several things that I enjoy, but the one dish that I keep coming back to is the Enchiladas Michoacanas. This is a three cheese enchiladas with carnitas, served with beans and potatoes, and topped with roasted jalapeño, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese & sour cream. This has so much going on with flavor and heat, is an extremely hearty serving. On one occasion, when my system just was not up to spicy food, I went with a more traditional gringo breakfast of chicken fried steak, with two over easy eggs and toast. This was a perfectly tasty breakfast. read more

Javier's is a great spot for a greasy Mexican breakfast. They have the ability to seat large groups, last time we had 12 people and they didn't miss a beat. The service is great. My go to is the chili relleno breakfast, but really everything here is good. They have a choice between mild and spicy green chili, I always get the spicy and it really isn't spicy at all. read more

I don't know what's going on with these 1 star reviews, and honestly I'm not here for it. I will be back to Javier's living my best life sitting by the outdoor fountain with AWESOME huevos rancheros, complete with tasty cheesy beans, a little pinch of shredded lettuce, and pure homestyle goodness. So there. read more
