I hadn't been to Javier's for several years, I had forgotten what a nice place it is. Great service, wide selection on the menu, good ambiance, and darn tasty margaritas. If you haven't been here before, you will find this to be far more authentic Mexican food than the other trendy places in downtown Arlington Heights. Javier's has been here a lot longer than the other guys. They put the attention and quality into their food rather than the latest trend. Visited again today, consistent excellence continues. The margaritas were so good that we needed an extra round, the tacos were fresh and seasoned to perfection! 2/3/2023 - another visit, another great experience! We've decided margaritas taste better when ordered by the pitcher! The food was awesome too, but on a Friday afternoon it's really all about the drinks!

Went on a Friday night with a party of 11. Dining is available outside and inside. Full bar is also available. Big menu with all traditional dishes listed. Margaritas and Mojitos were outstanding. U can get a 20oz Beer in a skull mug. Meals are large portions. The steak fajitas were awesome. Bill was 600 with tip. Service was fast and efficient. Highly recommended.

I was blown away by my experience here. I admit many, many years ago, When it was known by a different name, I had a horrible experience and didn’t go back but deep down, I knew I was unfair. Fast forward to today! Beautiful means you sit outside and the little grotto seating didn’t disappoint although the acoustics are a bit lacking. Our server was polite and efficient making sure our order was correct. The margarita Blanca was perfection. As you can see, so was the Chori Queso, a perfect bend of peppers, sausage and cheese-not as much cheese as others. It still delicious. The enchiladas were delicious. Filled to the brim with quality chicken and a sauce that didn’t overpower them. This is a place that will definitely be on my rotation.

This restaurant is good place for Mexican food. I had taco dinner and it was a good meal but nothing special. This Mexican restaurant has an American twist to it. They have nice seating outside. I recommend to order their Sangria, it is super good.
