We ate until we hurt! So much yum! Mexican cuisine executed at this level is expensive, so let's knock it off about that, okay? Okay. Gorgeous rooms. Beautiful restrooms. Big ass booths! The four of us had: The best chips and salsa! Empanadas $40 Taquitos $22 Ceviche Camaron $32 Three combination plates at $44 each Side of rice and beans $7 Every single taco on the combo plates was exquisite! Their rice is perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The taquitos were crispy and delicious. All three enchiladas were amazing! 2 of the 3 chile relleños were excellent (mine was a touch underdone so the cheese wasn't melted). Our server, Angel, was friendly, handsome, efficient and knew the menu really well. He suggested the Tamarind margaritas (10/10) and the tres leches cake (10/10). Will 100% return to eat mote of the deliciousness! Why not 5 stars? I didn't think the ceviche wasn't executed well. So much potential but the flavor was bland. The host staff are unable to handle the crowd efficiently. We checked in 10 minutes early for our reservation. We waited an hour and 15 minutes to be seated. The male host (there was only one) was either overwhelmed or under-concerned. Outside of the entrance, a large crowd of us were waiting. On a Wednesday night. At 8pm. Thinking back now, Im surprised I kept my family waiting, instead of trying somewhere else. It was obvious they were struggling to handle the volume of people who had reservations. We ended up making a reservation here in the first place because the night before, we walked by Amaya and it smelled funky. Angel and the support staff inside the restaurant made us forget all about the lousy experience at the host stand and turned us around to leave with smiles! I honestly can't wait to return! read more

What a great place to eat, although we were told it was an hour wait it took a little longer (1hr 45 mins). The food, service and environment was amazing and more than out shined that part. I highly recommend Javier's. read more

The food was great, but unfortunately, our experience with the service left a bad impression. Someone in our group handed their phone to one of the servers for payment, and the phone was never returned to them. We kept calling it and searching for it, and later the server came back with the phone and said someone had turned it in to the receptionist. What made the situation strange was that no one in our group had gotten up from the table, so there really wasn't an opportunity for the phone to have been left somewhere else. If the server simply forgot to return it, I wish he would have just admitted that instead of giving us an explanation that didn't make sense. And the cherry on top? We later discovered that the card used to pay was charged THREE times. So while the food was great, between the strange situation with the phone and being charged three times, the overall experience was extremely disappointing. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. We've been staying at the aria for years.. The service is above and beyond great. It's decorated very beautifully and dim very relaxing. Be ready for a buzz cause drinks are strong It was the first time we noticed the only thing that we didn't care for there was an ugly skeleton weird wood "decoration " on the back wall read more

Lunchtime on a Wednesday. We got there right at opening hoping for a seat near the bar or near the casino for people watching. We were seating in the back instead, near crying babies... not the vibe we had in mind! Next time I'll speak up. The food was good but not worth the crazy price tag. Also on a side note the bathroom stalls have full length mirrors on the inside. A view I never had, nor want again. Haha I'll pass on this one. read more

Javier's - Chips - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I had the opportunity to experience Javier's at ARIA tonight with some of my closest friends for a celebratory dinner after graduating with my master's degree, and it was such a great experience! From the moment we walked in and checked in for our reservation to the moment we left, the service was amazing. Everyone was welcoming and attentive, and the overall atmosphere made the evening feel even more special. The food was SO good! The menu has such a great variety that I honestly had a hard time deciding what to order because so many things sounded amazing. The drinks we ordered were great as well. My only small critique would be that the cocktail/drink menu felt a little limited when it came to some of the types of drinks I personally tend to order. That is completely based on personal preference, though, and it definitely didn't take away from the overall experience. Overall, I had an amazing time and truly appreciated how enjoyable the entire evening was, especially for such a special celebration. I would absolutely come back to try more of the menu because there were several dishes I wanted to order! If you're inside ARIA on the Las Vegas Strip and looking for good-quality Mexican food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Javier's is definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

OK four stars goes for the service and the trio of seafood enchiladas the sauce and flavoring was just delicate and just right in terms of salsa to cream flavor. I love how they made each enchilada taste uniquely different as it went with the protein of crab, shrimp and lobster. The loss of Star is because it is definitely quite expensive. I love the ambience. It was a little bit darker and being in a casino already you want some natural light. I thought it was strange that there was an attendant inside the bathroom, giving soap and selling items but I guess that's normal in clubs or so I heard. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We were on our annual back to school shopping weekend with our son and stayed at the Aria this time. Javier's was a great add to our eateries for the weekend. We had a Sunday Brunch meal before heading to the airport and were very pleased with our choices. To start, service was spot on - our water never empty and for me the best part, the delicious salsa was always topped off without ever asking! The portions were great, too much for me to finish and the flavors were great. We came in at 1145am and when we left at 1pm, the place was packed. A good stop for great eats. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food was surprisingly great, fun ambience and friendly staff. We Visited on a busy weekend. Would visit again.

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. read more

This was my first time trying Javier's for a friends birthday dinner. We had reservations at 8:30 and were sat promptly. The restaurant was clean and lightly lit with lights. The music was loud and almost overpowering. Now to the food, I tried to Cadillac Margarita and the chicken enchiladas with a side of rice and beans for an extra $7. My drink was just okay. It was nothing special nor do I feel as if it was worth the $23 I paid for it. It was almost overly sweet. Would not get it again. The enchiladas were just OKAY. nothing to rave about and for $40, I absolutely expected more. There were also gnats & small fruit flies flying around our plates. Super disappointing experience at such a fine dining establishment. I spent a total of $72 and do I think it was worth it? Definitely not! Chances are this is not somewhere I will return to dine at again. read more

Yes it's crowded and yes it's noisy... but the food here is so good that I'd come again and again even with those annoyances! We had a reservation at 6 and arrived early... we didn't get seated until 6:30 because they were just crazy busy! But once we sat down the service was pretty fast. Chips and dips came in no time and our server was ready to take our order. My friends who had been here many times recommended their carnitas and guacamole- both were great. One friend who had their skirts steak said it was amazing... But my Cobo Azul was the most impressive!!! The seafood in them was tasty and firm and the sauce was perfect! Portion size was generous! The Tres leches cake (three milk cake, as my Spanish speaking friend told me) was fantastic! Four of us shared one as they gave us a huge piece! read more

Great food and service. Staff is attentive and food comes out fast. Elevated quality compared to other Mexican restaurants but worth it.

Ceviche is a shareable portion so if you are a solo diner assume that is your main. read more

Stopped by here for a quick night cap and ended up ordering the seafood empanadas. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The empanadas were full of meat and flavor which was very satisfying. Our bartender was very nice and gave us time to look at the menu and was patient with me while I asked questions about the items listed. This restaurant is tucked away in a casino so it may seem busy on the outside but the vibes are nice at the bar. Definitely recommend this place for delicious food and strong drinks! Definitely worth the price. read more

WOW! Having never heard of this restaurant until recently, I was skeptical as I thought Amaya (also in Vegas) was the best Mexican food I had ever tasted. Turns out Amaya has some competition! Javier's and Amaya are tied, in my opinion, as so e of the best Mexican food out there. Yes, I am aware these restaurants are not considered "authentic" Mexican but I do not care as I do not find authentic Mexican food all that great. Javier's and Amaya are what I would call modern, upscale Mexican cuisine. Here's what to expect: high quality ingredients, very flavorful and the food is light, not heavy. The portions aren't small but they are nit huge either. They are a decent portion for what you pay. The ambiance and design are absolutely beautiful and the service (at least in this location) is excellent. If I had one complaint it would be the noise level. I found this location to be EXTREMELY loud. I could barely talk and hear my family members at the table. Other than that, it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to try the new Pasadena location! Note: this is considered a high-end restaurant so yes, the prices will reflect that.....plus it's located in Vegas where everything is pricey so if you are looking for an affordable, cheap Mexican food experience, this is not for you. read more

The quality of the fish was exceptional and melts in your mouth, and really- the only reason this isn't a 4 or 5 star review is because the chicken tacos we ordered for $40 was so dry, despite it being a guisado- which should mean it's tender. Everything else was delicious! The servers were nice and the place was packed! But the tacos wasn't quite how it was advertised. read more

Javier's offers exceptional service and authentic Mexican cuisine. While the prices may be higher than other Mexican restaurants, the quality of the food justifies the cost. The elegant, low-light atmosphere creates an intimate setting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date. The journey begins with their delectable and spicy salsa and chips. These are a must-try for spice enthusiasts, especially those who can handle habanero chili. Don't miss out on their mouthwatering guacamole as a side dish. An amazing appetizer is the Shrimp Empanadas! Truly, the best empanadas we've ever had. Combining this with their fresh guacamole takes this plate to the next level. BEST DRINK = BLACK MAMBA! For seafood lovers, their Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo is a must-order. It features four large king-size shrimp cooked in their flavorful garlic butter sauce. If you're feeling peckish, their Polvo Asado is an absolute delight. The chicken breast appears to have been marinated for an extended period, resulting in a tender and incredibly delicious dish. I complemented it with grilled onions and chilis, and the side of pinto beans (frijoles) was equally impressive. I also very much enjoyed their Shrimp Enchiladas! They are filled with a generous portion of shrimp and their fresh guacamole green sauce is very delicious. Not spicy but rich in flavor. Another standout dish is their Cabo Azul. This plate is a feast for the senses, featuring a Maine Lobster Enchilada, a chile stuffed with shrimp and crab, and a shrimp taco. Be prepared to be hungry after indulging in this culinary masterpiece. For dessert, indulge in their renowned Pastel De Guayaba (Guayaba Cheesecake). It's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. read more

I promised myself that I would finally try Javier's the next time I was in Vegas. I love the decor and the atmosphere because it brings out the ambiance. We started with the chips and salsa and Queso Fundido. The chips and salsa were good but the Queso Fundido was too thick and I couldn't taste the chorizo. I ordered the Trio De Enchiladas Del Mar and it was delicious. My husband had the Cabo Azul and it was good. The service was great and we were well taken care of.

When in Vegas, we always make it point to dine at Javier's. Located in the beautiful Aria, on the Las Vegas Strip, Javier's is definitely a "must-try" for foodies aficionados! Pro Tip: Call ahead to make a reservation or, if you have time to spare, make a reservation upon arrival to the Aria then shop at the mall next door--Crystal Shops--or try your hand at some of the tables or slots! If all else fails, try to snag some seats at the bar, as the service is awesome there too! Ambiance: Upscale Casual, Low-lit, hip with a sexy vibe. Always clean, well-maintained, beautiful culture themed decor. Service: Impeccable. I have dined here 6 different times over the course of 3 years and it is consistently amazing. Food: If you're unsure as to what to order, the waiters are beyond helpful in this area. Let them know what your base preferences are: protein, saucy or sans saucy, mild or bring on the heat, etc. Rhesa's Recommendations: Order the Mar Y Tierra, which is Prime filet mignon, Maine Lobster Tail with extra pasilla cream sauce. Beverage of choice: Javier's Margarita - Javier's Reserva Resposado Tequila& Grand Marnier. Delicioso! Dress code: With the vibe Javier oozes, why not dress up a little?! read more

The rest of the food was filling. I also ordered a tamarindo (tamarind) margarita which had a kick if you know what I mean lol! So I recommended trying them!
