"Javier’s plans to open a new location in a 12,570-square-foot space across from Crypto.com Arena in Downtown LA. It will accommodate 300 people and is known for being one of the most successful upscale Mexican restaurants in the country." - Matthew Kang
"Beloved Park Cities staple Javier’s opened in 1977 and continues to draw crowds nightly for its upscale take on Mexican food, fantastic service, and strong margaritas. Be sure to stop by the taxidermy-laden cigar room for a post-dinner drink." - Eater Staff
"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

"I recorded that Javier’s was open on March 16 with service from 11:30 a.m. to midnight." - Susan Stapleton
