Javier's

"Javier’s at the Aria immediately stands out for the breathtaking and brutal Aztec mural on the restaurant’s rear wall — carved out of wood with a chainsaw. In this fine-dining Mexican restaurant, you’ll find chicken breast in mole poblano, wild Mexican white prawns swirled in garlic butter sauce, and hand-shaken margaritas." - Janna Karel

"Javier’s at Aria features what it calls “the world’s largest piece of chainsaw art,” clocking in at 3,000 pounds and spanning 25 feet. Artist J. Chester Armstrong created the five 5-foot by 10-foot panels that depict the Mayan Creation myth and modern Mexican history." - Janna Karel

"Javier’s at Aria has vegetarian and vegan dishes such as enchiladas stuffed with zucchini, corn, onions, and pasilla pepper; enchiladas stuffed with sautéed spinach, corn, tomato, and onions covered in pasilla cream sauce; tacos with potato, lettuce, onions, cream, cotija cheese, and salsa verde; sopes with black beans, lettuce, salsa, queso cotija, and crema; and tacos with zucchini, corn, pasilla pepper, onions, guacamole, and salsa verde, or with mushrooms, pasilla pepper, onions, corn, guacamole, and topped with salsa quemada." - Katie Swalm

"The dimly lit, sophisticated setting of Javier’s sets the stage for an afternoon or evening of upscale Mexican cuisine and hand shaken margaritas. The jalapeño margarita, which is made with St. Germain and served with a tajin salted rim, is a popular choice here, as is the Flaca, which is a classic margarita with a splash of club soda for a refreshing desert cocktail." - Krista Diamond
