My review is just based on the bar and drinks. Bar area is HUGE and has numerous TVs and lots of cool football memorabilia. Happy hour every day from 12-8! I got a michelada, it was spicy and solid, buy I've had much better. Good place to visit if you're in Hilmar. read more

Javi's Hilmar Mexican Restaurant - My michelada. - Mexican Near Me - Hilmar, California

Last time I I went to this establishment was probably 7 years ago and I swore I'd never go back. Recently met some friends there decided to give it another shot and was even more disappointed than the last time I went. The customer service was wonderful and the chips and salsa were great. The biggest issue for me is that everything on the menu was $16.99 or higher and when I realized this it threw up a flag for me. If everything on the menu is the same price what does that say to the customer? If I had to say there were way too many things to choose from and everything looked mediocre. I decided to go with something very simple wishing for the best. I got the asada plate and a michelada. The meat was so tough I literally could not chew it and my michelada being $8 dollars wasn't even 3/4 full of beer it had more miche than most micheladas. In conclusion minimum wage is going up but that doesn't mean you should have 10 people working and not even 7 customers in the establishment. Also I can see menu prices going up but why make them all the same price when the quality of food is garbage. You can't ask for more money if your food isn't worth even half of the price. I don't care if I lived in Hilmar and Javis was the only decent place in town I'd drive at least 30 minutes out of my way to get better food for a better bargain. On a Sunday night my tab for the asada plate and 2 red beers was $35 dollars and some change of course I left a good tip so for $41 dollars I left still hungry and very disappointed will not be going back and will not be recommending Javis to anyone. I could have bought a 6 pack at the liquor store and a taco truck burrito for about $15 dollars and would have been a whole lot happier. If your going to be a well known chain establishment and have multiple locations in the valley at least take pride in the food that you sell. read more

La comida es buena pero no es auténtica buen servicio son amigables y en cuestión de la comida las tortillas se quebran de frías que están las flautas de botana están muy suaves cuando tienen que estar doradas..!!! read more

I love this place and all the workers Richard was my favorite. He's so friendly and so sure he can really work that floor in the bar area. I gave him a five stars. read more

A nice little place. I enjoy the service, and good is good. Check it out. I like little places.

Solid Mexican restaurant with no frills. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is fresh but I felt under seasoned and bland but the salsas were good. I had a chicken taco salad which was good with very generous portions. I would dine here again but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here. read more

You know those places where you just feel good when you walk in? This is that place. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh. Definitely recommend! read more

Very good food and drinks and very big portion sizes to fill you right up!! Service is very good and friendly my server galilea is just right amazing and very interactive! I really recommend the burrito supreme, taste amazing and very big!! read more

I've had plenty of meals here prior to covid19 and it's always been good. I had dinner just the other night when they were in the first week of reopening and wow, what amazing food we had. The sea food combo was great and the chimichanga was outstanding . Can't personally speak about the tacos but my buddy said they were very good, better than he remembered. Great job Javi's... read more

This is our second time here. I had the chimichanga which was pretty good. Rice was cooked to perfection with good flavor. Bean dip had a pleasant spicy kick. This os our new favorite spot. read more

Javi's Hilmar Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Hilmar, California

Food was very good! Service was quick and with a smile! We all really enjoyed our delicious dinners! read more

Was looking for a place to eat good food and still be in a safe environment (social distancing) alongside the fact it's been scorching temp-wise so I was skeptical of a cool enough outdoor eating space where I wouldn't be sweating buckets & could enjoy myself visiting over a meal. Let me tell you this was A M A Z I N G!!!! Great food, both my girlfriend and I had enchiladas, & it was as good as some of the best I have had here in the valley!!! Staff was attentive and kind & seating was temporary set up under a tent but surprisingly cool and shaded and was able to eat and visit over lunch for 1.5hrs without feeling rushed. Will recommend and definitely be back!!! read more

Javi's restaurant in Hilmar is outstanding! They are all about great service, cleanliness and great food. Waitresses are amazing, quick and friendly. They have battled through covid and succeeded successfully! read more

Been here many times for dinner and it can be hit or miss. Their Salsa Verde is not very flavorful at all and I usually end up using their hot salsa that comes with the chips on my tacos. Service is usually pretty good and the bar area is nice and there are a lot of TV's. There are usually a lot of people there on Saturdays as it is the only bar in town with a DJ, so if you want to people watch, and you happen to find yourself in Hilmar you know where to go. read more

I've been to Javi's numerous times, and it's been really good. The food is authentic, and flavorful. Any time I go to a Mexican restaurant I make sure I try their Carnitas it's my personal measuring stick when it comes to Mexican Resturants. Javi's ranks right up there. The Staff is pretty nice, they promptly bring you refills on your chips, Salsa, and refreshments. When ordering plates, Carnitas, or Fajitas, any plate that comes with tortillas. Make note you only get 3 corn, or 2 flour tortillas. That's it. You can probably get more for a fee, but that's the normal unrequested amount you get. I think it's skimpy but that's just my opinion. Other than that, I haven't had a bad experience yet. read more

Service great. Clean and well kept up. Tapatipos we had for lunch were very good. Will be back when in area. read more

Jarvis food is usually prepared well, but over the last few times I have gone there the food has been EXTREMELY overpriced for what you get. The food either needs to be twice as good to justify the price, or half as expenzsbe. read more

Decided to give them a try last night. For the price food wasn't very impressive and the service was so slow. The waitress came to the table right away and took our beverage order but didn't bring menus. About 20 minutes later we finally got our beverages and menus. Then on top of that there was a table with two women , who's kids were at another table. The kids were quiet but the women were drunk, really loud, cursing and at one point one of them fell out of the booth onto the floor. Every table in the place was watching them but management said nothing to them. Curious to know if they were allowed to drive with kids in the car. We spent almost $87 for 3 meals, so so food and a drunken show. We will not be back. read more

The handful of times that I've been here, the food was awesome. The burritos are stuffed with a ton of meat and the fajitas are great too, but the nachos are the best things on the menu. This restaurant has very generous portions and the staff is very friendly. The service, however, can be a bit on the slow side. If you like Mexican food, this is the only Mexican restaurant in town. You'll leave feeling satisfied. read more

Love this place! My favorite Mexican food restaurant when I am in town. I moved from the area out to Virginia and every time I am home for a holiday I ask my family to go with my to Javi's. My parents get their "senior special" which is a 1,2, or 3 item combo plate. Very decent prices. We all love their carnitas!! Delicious. I typically have their carnitas tostada. Sometimes the place is empty but don't let that deter you. Last time the food came out a little slow but our waitress was very attentive, constantly refilled our chips and salsa and even gave us a free dessert and apologized about the wait. Love love love. Recommend! read more

My favorite Mexican Restaurant! Food is delicious, margaritas are perfect, service is always great and done with a smile!

I don't recommend this place. Drive the few extra miles and go anywhere else. The food taste microwaved and is way over priced. The service is also not up to par. read more

I ate at Javi's in Hilmar today. It has been a few years since I ate there. It use to be my favorite Mexican Restaurant. However today's experience was horrible. My lemonade was watered down, my carne asada burrito was tasteless. I ask for extra green sauce to poor over the burrito in hopes it would give it more flavor but no such luck. The green sauce was really thin and tasteless. The carne asada was really fatty. My mom asked for her tamales dry and they came out soaked in sauce. I told the waitress and all she said was that's right. No apology, no offering to bring her another one. My mom ate the tamale the way it was. And I agree with the review that the waitresses hide behind the fish tank. Ohh and the chips have changed too or they are no longer serving fresh chips. Unless I have no other choice in the matter I will not be going back. read more

When you pay $15.99 for two tacos, rice, and beans, you expect it to be amazing. Well-it wasn't. The shredded beef had NO flavor and the lettuce all had brown edges. Very disappointing. No need to go back here I'm sorry to say. read more

Food and drink prices are decent. It's unfortunate that the service was the absolute worst . Waiting 20 mins for the check is not okay when there are no other customers in the restaurant and the waitresses are just standing around talking and playing on their phones. read more

Sucks when you have to go to work and needing to get the bill and you can see all the waitresses gossiping near the fish tank.

The meats on some the dishes lack flavor compared to other Mexican Restaurants that I've gone Good service and fajitas are the only reason for 2 stars. The dishes are over priced however since it's the only place you can get Mexican in town it is the place to go to satisfy cravings. If I can I prefer to go to Villa's in Livingston. read more

The food didnt have any flavor. The chicken and the shredded beef tasted like it was boiled with no seasoning. It wasnt busy, my waitress stood at the table staring at me while I had my face in the menu trying to read the new additions on the menu. My husbands fajita was all veggies hardly any steak. The steak that he did find tasted like it was boiled. After dinner the waitresses searched all over for our check finally she found it. I will not be returning. The visit before this, the same location I ordered fried ice cream, the ice cream was freezer burned but they served it anyways. That same visit my husband had a staple in his food. read more

I have been here 3 plus times. The food has been consistent and good every single visit. Great customer service!! I will keep coming back.

Not the BEST taste wise but I'm picky when it comes to Mexican food. It definitely gets the job done though. They allow you to call ahead & order & it's always super fast. Good portion sizes & polite employees. I eat there about 3 times a month bc I work in Hilmar! read more

This restaurant is good to real good. The portions are plentiful and the food itself is freshly made. I get the chicken ala mexicana and it is my favorite dish there. My wife has the chicken burrito supreme. We Aleta have a great experience at this restaurant. I haven't tried all things on the menu, but the enchilladas, milanesas, chimichangas, and the items previously mentioned and great. read more

Amazing service, even though there Wasent many people there. Best Long Island I have ever had. All I ever order is long islands they told me it was the strongest one they have ever made -pretty sweet. Awsome pico and good chips and salsa. Normal prices with above normal food and service. And the waitress was cute and friendly which is always a bonus. read more
