If you're hungry enough to wrestle a mountain and win, get yourself over here. The carne asada and the chicken burrito with the cheese enchilada combo were absolute standouts. Flavor for days, portions that actually respect your appetite, and everything cooked the way comfort food should be cooked. The carne asada was tender, seasoned just right, and paired perfectly with the rice and fresh sides. The chicken burrito and cheese enchilada combo was the kind of plate that makes you stop mid-bite and think, "Yeah, life's alright today." A special shoutout to Lupe, who deserves her own gold star. She was patient, kind, and wonderfully understanding when I misunderstood the special of the day. She sorted it out quickly without making it awkward. Service like that is rare, and it makes a huge difference. If you want good food, generous portions, and service that treats you like a person instead of a table number, this place delivers. Highly recommend. read more

Javier's - El Mexicano Combo & Pollo Chicken Burrito/cheese enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This is extremely bland food. Mexican food should be full of spice and flavor! This is comparable to Beto's (which I also don't like) except it's way more expensive! One of my enchiladas from the Enchiladas Texanas didn't even have anything in it. Like it was an empty tortilla shell. The refried beans are canned and the salsa is not fresh. I'd never eat here again and I will not recommend it to others. read more

A family favorite! The portions and quality of food are amazing, especially for the price. We love to support local businesses, so I am always happy to come here and order a massive combo plate. I got the cheese enchilada and chile relleno combo, and it was amazing! Our service was so quick and so nice. The Mexican Christmas tree cracks me up too! read more

The food here is so bland! We were very disappointed in the flavor, nothing tasted fresh! And the lady that took our order in the front (To Go) didn't understand English and kept getting our order wrong. We finally saw one of the other staff members and she was very nice and helped. We thought the food would be better and more authentic. read more

I still enjoy the food at this location. However, I recently acquired an allergy to milk. This place is not allergy friendly. I asked for my usual of Chile verde no cheese. I think they forgot and then tried to pull it out. I will know better before returning. read more

Food: Mexican food and if you don't like real spicy foods, they have a lot to choose from. I always order the #10 Lunch with extra Chili Verde, lettuce, and fresh onions on top. Salsa, guacamole, and chips are warm and delicious. We have gone here since they opened. All my grown children now take my grandchildren. We all love this place. Service: I have been here in both small and large groups. I don't remember ever encountering bad service. However, before they expanded to other locations you would have to wait. Well worth waiting. The servers are upbeat, timely with water and chips, as well as guacamole, extra cheese, or more salsa. Orders are amazingly prompt and correct, and servers are happy to bring anything after the food is served. Don't be shocked if the owner Javier helps out or greets you. Great family restaurant and yes they do service adult beverages. Ambiance: The ambiance varies depending on which location you are at. My favorite place is in S Ogden, on Harrison. Very pleasant, with a fireplace, warm colors, and music playing perfectly. All the Javier's restaurants show a sense of family pride. They are clean, smell nice, the food is consistent in all locations. read more

Food and service- super nice people ! Always have a smile on there face and so genuine! The food is amazing! Can't go wrong with anything you pick! 10/10 very homie vibe! read more

I love this place! They are amazing and always so kind! It is such a welcoming place to eat. I will always come back!

Okay, soo......Sheesh I don't even know where to start. I'll preface this by saying that I'm Mexican from L.A. (California) who eats lots of Mexican food and have had many variations of different Mexican dishes both in homes and at restaurants. 1. Lovely waitress, even the owner, Amada, seemed lovely. That's where the good ends. Lord bless their hearts . Chips were decent, salsa was ok (seemed like just tomato and salt and a minimal sprinkle of greens to make it seem like "they added cilantro for flavor." I guess Ogden, Utah has yet to meet the ever-delicious wet burrito, because they don't make one. We tried explaining what my hubby wanted and they couldn't do it. And their Carne Asada Burrito- it comes with rice and beans on the side, NOT inside the burrito, itself. LOL. (WUHHH?!?!) Are you cereal, Doña?? Very well, hubby orders the "Ranchero Quesadilla, no veggies (pico de gallo) and the guac on the side," (cuz you never know with that stuff). Well, ladies and gents, they brought out two flour tortillas, folded in half with asada meat inside- NO CHEESE. We're like uhhh, ma'am, we asked for only meat, as in, no veggies, and we wanted guac, just on the side... She's like ohhh, that IS the Ranchero Quesadilla! Umm... I'm confused, there's no cheese?? She's like, yeah, that's how it comes, we have 3 different Quesadillas and that one doesn't come with Cheese. Lol I was trying real hard not to laugh, she was really sweet and seemed genuine in her replies, as if she didn't know otherwise! I'm in the Mexican restaurant twilight zone, at this point! Alright, so hubby's upset at this point. He already didn't like the taste of his fountain drink coke. I ordered the 2 Chile Relleno plate. I'm easier to please and will eat anything I order even if it's not what I'd hoped for. Well, the sauce threw me off, it was a brown color and usually it's tomato based. Alright, I'll try it! Uhh yeah.. that's different from any purge chile Relleno I've ever had and I try them at most places that serve them, because I like to see the variations. So, not gonna say it was horrible, but, different. They were Anaheim peppers instead of Pasilla and that's alright, I like em both. But, there was way way more egg/flour batter than chile. Needless to say, we weren't impressed. I thought that 33 years in business meant they'd be worth the $45 I was going to and did spend. But, was so mistaken! (Tear.) We ate so fast to get out of there quickly. When they saw us get up lol they thought we were gonna eat and dash cuz they ran to us so fast! They knew we weren't satisfied at all. That didn't help hubby's experience at all! The place itself, well, it's what you'd expect a "Mexican" restaurant serving a mostly non- Mexican community to look like. They seem to have a year-round Christmas tree they keep up and decorate according to the season/ time of year. It's Grad time 2024 right now, so that's what they have up. Yeah, just a weird, weird experience in a "Mexican" restaurant. I'd be interested to know which part of Mexico they're from. I saw a lot of "Tex-Mex" named dishes on the menu. Maybe that explains it. Anyhow, sorry, not my cup of horchata!!! read more

I came here for my lunch break and was not disappointed. It was what I expected because it was recommended by someone who also recommended Del Taco as good Mexican food. Their tortillas aren't made at home and neither is their horchata. The food was good. I ordered the green Chile burrito that comes with rice and beans. It's Mexican American food, not really Mexican. The green Chile sauce was a kind of gravy. The pork was a bit dry. It was flavorful. read more

Great fresh chips and salsa, good variety on the menu. Service was meh but several signs posting apologies for same due to staff shortages so considering that it was a great experience. read more

I rarely leave reviews. I am making an exception here. The salsa was bland and puréed. no texture. My salsa verde burrito had little taste, zero texture. The sauce was reminiscent of canned gravy. the pork was cubed and bland. The beans were watery., the rice was edible. My friends chicken chimichanga was the same, but actually the green guacamole like topping was pretty much inedible. We didn't get a takeaway box for our leftovers. Hands down most unappetizing Mexican meal I've had in decades. read more

The staff has been really friendly and did a great job at my last visit, I loved our server, all the women wear dresses I have to say its so nice to see. The food came out very quickly and had great flavor. The place might look a little rub down and maybe a little scary with the old hotel behind it. But it's worth it. read more

Great food and service. Our go too local Mexican restaurant. Keep up the good work guys!

I stopped at the Harrisville location of Javier's, used their drive-up window. Understandable that there is no menu board available as this is a temporary drive-up window. Ask for a menu, ordered number 6 chili verde burrito combo plate off the lunch menu. Total price was $10.81, added a dollar tip even though I normally don't tip at drive-thrus. My debit card was charged $12.87. Tried to call back but no manager was on duty. The food was delicious but Raquel committed a fraud against me by overcharging. read more

Javier's - Mexican Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This was are second visit to this location. The first time we found it unseasoned so we decided let's give it a second shot. We tried new dishes but it was bland and not any Mexican food we have ever had. Will not be back but the staff it truly the best you will find in Ogden.... read more

Excellent authentic food!! Always fresh and fast. Guadalupe is a wonderful waitress who always remembers us and what we like to order. She makes us feel welcome and like we are family! My favorite Mexican food in town by far! Would highly recommend! read more

Super yummy. Great job as always. Food was out fast. Hot food, and friendly service. Had the daily special.

The Harrisville location is clean and has a decent atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Food isn't the best Mexican we've ever had but it is pretty good and we eat out 2-3 times per week. Our only complaint would be that sodas are $3.99 each which seems extravagant. read more

Wonderful service. Awesome chips and salsa. Had an enchilada it was ok. Great coke. My husband really liked the number 15

I took a door dash delivery for these guys today. It was an easy, convenient run for me (I assume it was a similar experience for the vendor and the customer). This was a pay to play delivery so I ordered upon arrival. The in-app order did not align directly with the restaurants in-store menu but the hostess (or owner) was very helpful deciphering the order with me. Not wanting to stand awkwardly staring at my phone or the floor while I waited, I requested the order to be delivered to the parking lot. About ten minutes later I had goods delivered to me, well packaged, and ready to deliver. read more

GREAT food and even GREATER service! i would definitely recommend. the chips and salsa are to die for!!

Great traditional Mexican food. Really any location you go to us good, all have great employees. The owner is a great guy and likes to help people. read more

I've always like Javier's and really like their salsas. It is a bit tomatoee but I like that. Everything I get here is good and the service is fast. I really like the Chile Verde and the shredded beef burritos. Prices have gone up a bit. If you have room try the deserts they are all really good. read more

Good food. Great service. The mole burrito is my favorite. read more

Great service, helpful with food allergies and the food tasted great! I had the Pancho Villa which gave me a taste of 3 options. I'm not a rice person, but there's could make me a believer! read more

There will be a follow up to this review; however, my first impressions is this place is defiantly worth your money. I just relocated with my work to Ogden. While driving looking for lunch I saw this lovely gem. I wasn't expecting much but thought I would give it a try. I was impressed to find an older/middle aged lady working the drive up. So much nicer than some punk kids. She was very Latina. I love seeing authentic Hispanics in the Mexican restaurants I frequent. Makes me feel like I'm likely to get real food not some watered down Americanized version. She was extremely nice, food was nice and hot. It was good, I liked it but It didn't knock my socks off. I will go back a few more times and try different things. My first impression? Definitely worth my money! read more

Javier's is my family's go to for Mexican in Ogden. Seriously just as fast as "fast food" but you get to sit down and be served by some of the friendliest servers anywhere. Some of our favorites are the chili verde and they have the best rice and beans! read more

Out of town'ers. Yikes. Chicken was package yuck. Not one drop of carmel on my steak. No shrimp on the menu. Processed processed processed foods. Nothing fresh. Had not heard of a michalotta. Learning curve. Not to return. read more

Javier has really expanded and I salute him from where he started and how its grown. Standard Utah Mexican food- cheddar cheese goes on the refried beans, sauce on everything and large portions for the dinner combo (always make two meals out of one diner combo). That said, I will always go back here vs other local spots (think El Matador)- Javier's food is always super fresh, chips and salsa muy tasty and the very friendly servers will bring you more without a problem. This place has become a regular rotation in the eating out wheelhouse, and all locations are been consistently good. read more

The service is always warm and welcome and the salsa is so good I could eat it with a spoon...okay, so I do BUT it's just so good! It's one of out go to places for date night! read more

We found the service wonderful and welcoming, but unfortunately we found the food very bland. We really looked forward to try thus restaurant after reading the reviews but again it lacked flavoring or any heat. read more

How do you mess up fajitas and stay in business this long?!?! Staff was helpful and polite. Benches a bit old. None of our 3 dishes granted coming back a 2nd time. read more

Best Mexican food -try smothered burrito with shredded beef and see if you can find anywhere that does it better.

Food was pretty good and service was fast but portions are way small. My burrito was very small.

Pretty tasty food. The servers are always friendly. Their chips and salsa is really good!

I have been to the location on Harrison Blvd, but not this one. It's on the corner of a busy intersection and can be a little hard to see from the road. The restaurant was busy but still enough seating that we didn't need to wait. The atmosphere was fun and the service was good and quick. The chips and salsa is good. Most of our party got the chimichanga and we all loved it. My portion was enough for supper plus some to take for lunch the next day. We did have the fried ice cream for dessert, which I think is ok, but everyone else loved it. I would recommend this to everyone, especially if you like mexican food. read more

Absolute favorite restaurant! The waitresses are so friendly and sweet. Javier often visits and will greet you personally. The food is amazing! read more

I enjoy Javier's regularly. Every time the food it delicious and Monday night is free kids meals. That's makes it's easier to take out my big family for dinner. I love the chips and salsa and the the fajitas are my favorite, but their enchiladas and tacos are great as well and very tasty rice and beans. My only complaint is their addition is too cold most times and the waitresses are hit and miss on service. Overall great place to dine! read more
