Javier's DTLA

This restaurant is very beautiful and well designed. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We were a big group and they didn’t mess up a single order. The drinks were really good and strong. The food was delicious and flavorful. Lobster enchiladas and Mole Verde were incredible. My only wish is that they would make fresh tortillas. For being a high end Mexican restaurant that is not cheap, it’s sorta a bummer they don’t make fresh tortillas. The ambiance is great, very busy on weekends and very loud so if you’re expecting a quiet romantic dinner you might not like it. Overall, we all really enjoyed Javier’s and would return. But PLEASE MAKE FRESH TORTILLAS!!!

Beautiful restaurant and great spot for people watching. This location attracts a trendy crowd. We sat at the bar and Jesus and Joey offered excellent service and recommendations. They offer complimentary chips and salsa which is amazing for a high-end restaurant. The bar seats were very comfy, we ordered the ossobucco which was sooooo good and the red snapper. We also got dessert. I requested a passion fruit margarita but the bar wasn't able to make it, which was disappointing for an establishment of that caliber.

Beautify restaurant. The ambiance was also impressive and loved the service. We showed up before the rush on a Friday and couldn’t be any more happier. I’ll definitely be going back. If there’s anything to criticize is the parking lot. It’s a hassle unless you pay for valet. Everything else I loved. I’ve been to Javiers in La Jolla, Newport Beach and now downtown LA. If I had to rate them, downtown LA is definitely my top choice so far.

Love this place!! It’s very very fancy. The inside is like sexy Miami meets LA. The staff is all super friendly (and attractive). They have an amazing tequila selection. The food was delicious as well. Our server, Sage was great! He was super knowledgeable about the menu, he checked in on us at the perfect times. He always made sure we had a drink in our hands. I recommend reservations, and parking is tricky. There’s a paid lot next to the restaurant or valet that’s like $45 😬 everything we ordered was delicious and high quality. The fish and the steak. The guava cheesecake was pretty incredible as well.

I’ve been waiting for this spot to open for a while and it was worth the wait. When you enter, it’s a massive location and well put together. Probably the best interior I’ve been at in downtown LA for a restaurant. Our server was Marie, she was excellent, very attentive, and helpful along with other staff members. We started out with the esquite and I thought it was about average, I would have liked it more on the charred side as far as the corn kernels but still decent. I had their steak salad “Endalada de asada” and it was phenomenal. Might be the greatest steak salad I’ve ever had with lots of cut pieces of steak, the flavor was excellent. I also had their seasonal fish “Pescado dorado”, it was also delicious, tender, and full of flavor. Their ceviche style dishes is phenomenal along with their guacamole. Chips and salsa is also excellent. I had their cab forgot which one but it perfectly matched my food and it was excellent. To finish the night off we got the “Tres Leches” and a side of vanilla ice cream. The best version I’ve had so far! Overall it was an excellent dining experience and look forward to this spot in the future. I’d definitely come back here again and check out their bar area to feel out the vibe. ***update*** I ate at the bar and it was a great dining experience, the bartenders were awesome and attentive. Solid customer service overall and you can tell they want to make sure you enjoy your meal/drinks. Their fish of “Pescado Dorado” Luop De Mar was phenomenal and one of my favorite dishes so far.

The most amazing Mexican cuisine restaurant I have ever been to! Beautiful decor, lounge atmosphere, big space, efficient, quick, and the most kind and attentive service! The food was outstanding and the personnel are doing an excellent job there. Thank you all!

First of all, I was there for a private event. The private area was immaculate. The food, ambiance, servers were exceptional. I would say there was only one minor thing that bothered me and some of the guests. The seats (chairs) were way too heavy . They were too heavy to push back and although they are elegant, I would suggest that they look into changing those in the future. But overall, I will be back with my colleagues. Thank you for such a wonderful first time experience. Gracias!

Best Mexican food I’ve had in my short time in LA. Meat is cooked just right - juicy and flavorful. Had the Fajita and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
