    Javier's anywhere will always be a vibe. Food amazing and great service. It's always busy so if you have no res you have to fight for a seat at the bar. So worth it!

    A large private city area for a big party

    Javier's is definitely one of the top restaurant on the strip. Even though we had a few glitches regarding our reservation. Everything turn out fine. We were seated facing the casino. The restaurant is beautiful. We got the guacamole for an appetizer and the carte Vaquero. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the meat was tasty and lean. Cabo Acul, the filling, was full of seafood and lobster meat. Everything was delicious, and the portion size was large definitely could be shared.

    Javier's is definitely one of the best restaurants in Vegas. It's awesome that it's located at Aria where we stayed for a few nights. It made it so convenient for us. Javier's serves up an incredible list of margaritas in which my favorites are the guava and tamarindo. Both cocktails were refreshing, delicious, and high quality. You can't go wrong with their complimentary basket of fresh tortilla chips and garlicky salsa. These are phenomenal and it's refillable which is a plus. My wife and I thoroughly loved their house made guac which is creamy, thick, and full of chunky pieces of avocado. It's THE best guac we've had in a long time. As far as their steak goes, I ordered their $80 prime bone-in ribeye which came with creamy refried beans and crispy potatoes. The steak was juicy but really lean; I'm used to fatty cuts with a buttery taste. My steak wasn't tough but it was pretty stiff and bland. I really liked my sister's Corte Vaquero (prime New York cut) way better! It was juicier. We ordered their trio ceviche and each type was awesome and very tasty. I loved the pulpo (octopus) the best. For dessert, we ordered their fried ice cream and it was so good. The texture and flavors were really good. The vanilla ice cream is very creamy and almost gelato-like. I'm a huge fan of this. My wife loves Javier's so much! She keeps bringing it up and so we can't wait to visit the Newport location in Sept!

    We came as a large party of 12 & Javier's was able to take that reservation only 3 days in advance. We ordered a wide range of menu items so everyone had a fair perspective of the food. Food overall was good. But our service was extremely slow to the point we were all full off of chips & salsa. Their salsa is to die for it was so good. However, I am giving 3 stars due service speed. Being on the strip I do not want to carry left overs & unfortunately that was the scenario for 90% of the group. I think it is slightly over priced but I would come back with a large group again. It is a very loud atmosphere; very dark inside for their ambiance.

    This place is so good and please get the shirt and crab enchiladas. The server was really attentive and kind. Drinks are also in the top, you must try their mezcalitas which is a margarita with mezcal instead of tequila.

    Beautiful atmosphere with romantic seating and a lively bar. This restaurant is located in the heart of the Aria Casino and is usually packed so reservations are highly recommend. Even the lunch crowd is heavy. Seafood is the specialty of the house so try to order at least one dish with seafood. I highly recommend the aguachile especially if you love heat, if you can't handle chili avoid this appetizer. Everything I've tried here is top notch from mole to shrimp tacos to the carnitas it's hard to miss. Chips and salsa are abundant but try an appetizer with your cocktail.

    Javier's, located inside the Aria, came highly recommended by a good friend of mine--and let me just say... they absolutely knew what they were talking about. When I arrived, there was already a long line and a packed restaurant, which is usually a great sign. I'll also admit something about myself: I'm not really a "sit at the bar" person. Whether I'm dining alone or with friends, I'm almost always going to choose a booth or a table. However... I was hungry enough that the bar was going to have to do. As busy as the restaurant was, I was greeted and served almost immediately. I wish I had gotten my server's name because everyone working behind the bar was incredibly attentive and genuinely kind. Great service is appreciated anywhere, but it's even more impressive in a place like Las Vegas, where the pace never seems to slow down. Despite the constant crowd, they never made me feel rushed. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa, which is always appreciated, but I'm definitely more of a guacamole girl, so I had to order a side of guac as well. For my drink, I ordered the Guayaba. I'll preface this by saying I'm an extra super-duper lightweight when it comes to alcohol, so what I consider "strong" may be perfectly normal for someone else. I definitely had to babysit that drink, but I also have to give credit where it's due--you could tell it was made with quality liquor. It wasn't just strong for the sake of being strong; it was well-crafted and balanced. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster enchiladas, and let me just pause right there... I'm actually pretty picky about enchiladas because they're one of those dishes that not everyone gets right. So I don't order them very often. These? Absolutely off the chain. They were rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and honestly one of the best restaurant meals I had during my Vegas trip. At one point, I seriously considered ordering another serving to take home on the plane... and then I realized that might've been just a little extra. Of course, I couldn't stop there. I also ordered a side of rice and beans, and I genuinely need to know who made that rice because it tasted like somebody's mom was back in the kitchen making sure everybody was fed. It had that homemade comfort-food quality that you just don't come across very often. What impressed me most is that Javier's doesn't rely solely on being located in one of the busiest hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Sometimes restaurants in high-profile locations can become more about the atmosphere than the food. That is not the case here. The food absolutely lives up to the reputation. This will be a mandatory stop every time I visit Las Vegas, and I'm already looking forward to exploring some of their other locations.

    Ahi tuna ceviche
    Joseph D.

    I stopped here late on a Monday night and was happy to find it opened late. Although the food came out a little slow, the food was definitely delicious. Our waiter, Caesar was super friendly and helpful with the foods. The ambience was kind of chill for a Monday evening, but had a little bit of electricity considering it's located in a casino.

    Carnitas plate, beans and guacamole
    Dianna M.

    The food was delicious! The meat fell off the bone very tender. We had reservations, but service was amazing. Ambiance-even though it's a Mexican restaurant they had pretty loud music felt a little bit more like a club. But just FYI for those looking eat this place is a little pricey, but the food was delicious.

    Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine, attentive, fast and friendly service by Daliz, Rose and teammates in a fun, vibrant (always busy) dining room in Aria Las Vegas

    Isaac C.

    The food was really really good. The servers were kind and helped us to pick dishes. The portions were large, and tasted amazing. The Birria was so good, I wanted to find a recipe to try at home. Service also gave us chips and salsa as an appetizer. When we went, we stayed at Aria, where it is located within. At the time, Aria gave us restaurant credit, so we used it here.

    Carne asade with vegetables
    Chris C.

    Great food and service. Staff is attentive and food comes out fast. Elevated quality compared to other Mexican restaurants but worth it. This location is also more expensive than the other javier's from what I recall. Make a reservation on open table or you will he waiting for a while. I love the carne asade. Ceviche is a shareable portion so if you are a solo diner assume that is your main.

    Javier's Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Javier's

    Is this place kid friendly? Do they have high chairs?

    Not really. I don't believe they have high chairs.

    Can you use MGM Rewards to settle your bill? When charging to your room can MGM Food/Beverage credit be used?

    Majority of the time you would have a food and beverage credit. If you charge to your room then the credit will apply at the end of your stay. If you charge more then your credit, then they will charge your credit card

    Are the food servings small?

    No. They are generous in size!

    Can the kitchen accommodate gluten free (celiac)?

    Yes, they should be able to! There are a fair amount of GF items on the menu; just make a note with your server.

    Does Javier's have a decent wine list?

    Decent, but not phenomenal. It's a bit hard to pair wines with their Cali-Mex menu.

    Is it easy to get a table without a reservation?

    No. It's impossible. Bar and lounge are first come first serve but a table requires a reservation.

    Is this restaurant kid friendly?

    They definitely allow children, but it was more of an adult vibe, with loud, thumping music and large parties. Kids noises would definitely be drown out there. Seems to cater more to adults.

    Does this place have high chairs for kids?

    Not that I've seen, and I don't think it is a good environment for kid diners.

    Can you buy the salsa online?

    No.

    Is the guacamole made table side?

    No, it was brought out to our table already-made, in a cast iron-looking dish.

    Are reservations required?

    Nope! But I recommend them on weekend evenings as it gets really busy. They have a decent sized bar area + high tops that are first come first serve as well.

    What time is happy hour?

    There is no happy hour however I have had many many margaritas in my life and I have to say Javier's margaritas are some of the best I've had EVER. Worth the price. It's so fun. We usually sit at a romantic booth and have margaritas and then move… 

    What is the dress code?

    There really isn't a dress code, but at night most are in business attire or dressier clothes. I have been several times and have gone dressy or jeans and a nice top. During the day I've gone completely casual.

The atmosphere and decor are…read morebeautiful, but what really made the evening stand out was the exceptional service, especially from our server, Rocco, who was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made the whole experience feel special. For food, we started with the Mortazza, a mortadella sandwich that was absolutely delicious. We also had the Diavola pizza, which was perfectly balanced, fresh, spicy, and honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I skipped the parmesan at the end, which made it feel fresher and less salty. For dessert, we shared the Caprese cake with stracciatella gelato, and it was pure poetry. Honestly, a five-star meal with food and service that lived up to the luxury of Fontainebleau.

We ordered three dishes we had before that are knock-your-socks-off delicious. 1. The Misticanza Del Campo Salad $24 - easily one of the best tasting salads in all of Las Vegas. 2. La Mortazza $22 - High-quality mortadella is difficult to get where I live. The sandwich is incredible. I save ¾ of it to eat on my flight home 2 days later. So good! 3. Tagliata Di Manzo $72 - This steak is tastier than the rib eye at Triple George. The potatoes are crispy and delicious too. Tried the pizza for the first time. The Margherita $28 was very yum. The two pastas we tried sort of missed the mark because of the flavor and extra load of butter. The Linguine alla Vongole $44 had terrific pasta, very well made with great tasting clams. The overall flavor of the dish was just odd. We also got the Rigatoni Cabonara $35. I loved the pasta itself and the first couple of bites were heavenly. But the richness from the overload of butter started to hit hard and heavy. That's a lot of food for 2 people. The timing of the service wasn't controlled great so I ended up with a plate on the seat next to me. It is a stunning, beautiful restaurant that is doing a lot things amazing.

Food The Summer in Italy menu was very impressive. You get a four-course meal with an appetizer, pasta dish, entree, and dessert. I was with a group of four people and we all went with it and mostly ordered something different so we can try everything. For my appetizer, I went with the Gamberi Marechiaro, which was a shrimp dish in a lemon butter white wine sauce. It was excellent. We also had the Calamari Fritti, Burrata, and Flori di Zucca Sorrento. Everything was excellent. A great start to the meal. For the pasta dish, I ordered the Gnocchi Pistachio Pesto, which was my favorite dish of the whole experience. Other dish ordered were Lobster Ravioli. For the entree, I went with the Osso Buco, which was very good. I was staring to get full by this point, but I was persevered. Other dishes ordered were Petite Filetto di Manzo and Vitello al Limone. For dessert, they brought us a slice of cheesecake for our birthday, which was excellent and we ordered Cannoli and Pistachio Passion to go. They have an incredible wine list, which can be overwhelming. We ordered two bottles of wine, which the names already escape me. I'm better at drinking it than remembering the names. 5/5 Service The service was definitely upscale. They have a bread guy that comes around (once) and offers you an option of bread. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My water cup was never empty either. 5/5 Ambiance Ferraro's has a very nice aesthetic to it. The wine cellar is impressive and encouraging. The tables aren't too close together, which allows for a more comfortable meal. 5/5 Ferraro's is upscale dining. It is not cheap, especially if you are drinking wine, but it's a good experience. The Summer in Italy menu is a great value and you leave very full. Definitely experience it if you can.
