Good service.
Vibrant people watching atmosphere.
Good food.
I had the $25 Carnitas and it was good. I would get it again.
As a local, I feel very few strip restaurants deserve great reviews. Most are too pricey with bad service, just trying to get you in and out. I give Javier's 3 stars for atmosphere, food quality, and service. It's not 4 stars because nothing blew me away here. I would only return if I had guests in town and they wanted to go.
