| - We stumbled upon Javier's during our aggressive lounging fiasco. For those of you who are unfamiliar, aggressive lounging is when you hotel hop along the Vegas strip hitting up at least one lounge per hotel for a drink or appetizer.
First on our stop, Javier's at Aria Resort and Casino! We we're instantly drawn to the decor; a massive thick steeple with dangling ropes mid bar, also noticing the intimate executive personal party room with a beautiful wooden table, the "tree of life," wall decor adorned with so many various bottles of expensive tequilas, and most of all the intricate chainsaw carved wall paneling of purgatory! We quickly invited our newly wed friends to join us!
Upon their arrival, we order, and my guest and I shared a plate. This is what we decided on:
ANTOJITOS
SABOR A PROVINCIA
Two Empanadas, two small Quesadillas, two Taquitos, two Sopes.
ENCHILADAS DE MARISCOS
Two enchiladas stuffed with shrimp and Dungeness Crab sautéed in butter, garlic, onion and wine, then covered in a tomatillo sauce, melted Monterey Jack cheese and garnished with avocado slices and sour cream. Served with arroz and refritos.
CARNE TAMPIQUEÑA
New York steak #1 prime center cut 6oz grilled, accompanied by a mole chicken enchilada, taquito, and refritos.
Highlights of Javier's has to be their shockingly authentic Mexican flavors. From the salsa, to the margaritas, beans made with chorizo, authentic Mexican rice, flautas, and killer mole sauce, everything tasted homemade and delicious!
Located in the Aria, expect to pay a pretty penny. For 4 people, 3 dishes and drinks, our tab including tip was $200. Next time, I'm going to ask to be seated at the private party table! Lol!
