The food at Tahona was some of the best I’ve had. Very carefully prepared, creative without being pretentious. Lots of authentic flavors, definitely not your typical Mexican food. They explain about the sourcing of the ingredients, and it was just an awesome experience. (The Pozole was the “hidden gem”, very different from anything I’ve ever had, and it was fantastic.)

Loved the place very beautiful. As well for the food even tho it cost a lot for a small portion of the appetizer it was super good do not regret for how much I paid. :)) I would like to thank my server she was super polite.

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)

We loved celebrating our kids birthday so much that we decided to make it an annual birthday event. The margaritas were the best we’ve had in a long time. The chips, salsa and guacamole were delicious. We each ordered taco dinner and all was scrumptious! We’ll definitely be back!
