This is the third time I’ve been to Javier’s in La Jolla. Twice, I have shown up for my reservation on time or slightly before and we have had to wait a little over 30 minutes to be seated past our reservation time. It seems like they overbooked the restaurant so everyone who works there looks extremely stressed out and is just trying to keep up. Also, it was my birthday, and no one mentioned it during the whole reservation, even though it was not noted on OpenTable. And to add, we had requested weeks in advance to be seated in a quieter, location outdoors due to the loud nature of the restaurant, and we ended up getting sat right in the middle of the restaurant at a high top, squeezed right up against the people next to us. Food is all right, nothing special for Mexican food in San Diego. At this point, we won’t be coming back.

We were 4 people, we have been here 4 times past 6 months, service was great, food only ok, felt like food needed more taste. Very disappointed, especially what I accustom too. Especially for the money. 600 bucks for 4 people. Quality of food needs to improve.

While the food was very good, the noise level was very loud. It was my first time there so I had no idea on the noise level. The food portions size could have been more to justify the prices IMHO. It tasted very good but nothing extra ordinary for the price.

Absolutely delicious meal. The best enchiladas I’ve ever had! I had the crab, lobster and shrimp enchiladas and they were incredible. As were everyone’s meals that they ordered. Our server Omar was very helpful and catered to my children really well too.

Lo que más me gusto fue el servicio, desde que llegue a pesar de que había mucha gente esperando no me hicieron esperar mi reservación. El servicio estuvo estupendo de principio a fin. La comida es buena pero he estado en lugares mejores donde la comida es mejor y menor costo. Pero aún así el servicio compensa lo de más.
