"The outposts of this mini-chain might be primarily in malls, but Javier’s is far from food court fare. After work, the Westfield Century City location’s patio fills up with the neighborhood’s nine-to-five crowd, each navigating a menu of elevated Mexican fare and 14 different margarita combinations. Try the tamarindo margarita (made with Milagro Reposado, fresh tamarindo, agave nectar, and lime juice) for an extra dose of tang. Be careful, though: drink a couple of these, and the boutiques of the upscale mall may start calling — tipsy shopping isn’t just for the internet." - Robert Spuhler
