| - Aria comes through yet again with another reason for me to frequent their property.
I was drawn to Javier's because of my knowledge of the Javier's in Dallas and was pretty convinced that this one in Las Vegas was somehow connected.
When I asked, I was told that they get asked that quite a bit from people in Texas but this particular Javier's is out of California and has no affiliation with the well-respected location in Dallas.
That was the only disappointment about my visit.
THIS Javier's was so enjoyable it somehow strayed me from my plan to go to the Todd English PUB afterwards, which is nearly impossible to do.
The oval-shaped bar is just off the casino floor and has plenty of seating to accomodate what was a very busy crowd, even for my visit on a Monday night.
Dining areas are immediately left, behind and right of this bar and looked intimate and unique.
I was on my own, so the bar was perfect for my needs and I enjoyed the friendly and attentive service from Felipe and Karen, who also has the perfect smile and personality to handle working with all the guys back there.
Chips and salsa were put in front of me as I ordered my drink and they are complimentary and plentiful. Other Yelpers have said the salsa is some of the best they've had in Vegas and I cannot dispute that. As a matter of fact, my eyes were watering because of the subtle heat that builds up from enjoying it.
While I went with one of their many Mexican style bottled beers, the bar is fully stocked with not only tons of tequilas but an excellent selection of other spirits. (I also appreciate when Johnny Blue is available, even though it probably does not get much action at around $42 a shot)
Thinking I would save room for some Happy Hour munchies at Todd English PUB, I ordered the taquitos appetizer and was offered chicken, beef or a combination. There were three on the plate and I was full by the time I finished them. Sadly, they may have ruined grocer's freezer taquitos for the rest of my life. Yes, that damn good.
Oh, I am not a fan of sour cream, so Felipe kindly removed it from my order which in turn meant that they drizzled even more guacamole on my taquitos. This was even better than I thought, because I could take chips and dip them in the additional guacamole and still have plenty of guac flavor to complement the taquitos.
My eyes were watering, my tummy was full and my respect for the Aria just continues to grow.
