| - How does it go... "People go to restaurants to eat, but they come back for the hospitality" I definitely agree, hence, I will not be returning to Javier's.
As soon as we were seated I felt like our waiter didn't have the time of day us. He was rushing us through our meal, even though there was nobody waiting to be seated. In fact at the end of our meal, my husband asked to see the dessert menu and the waiter gave us our bill instead. Then when we asked him for a second time to see the dessert menu, he proceeded to verbally tell us the desserts. Maybe that was his way of telling us not to order dessert because the desserts are terrible.
For a restaurant of Javier's caliber it was a disappointment to see that they only had two mediocre desserts on their menu; deep fried ice cream and flan. Where were the churros and dulce de leche concoctions? Nonetheless, we shouldn't have ordered dessert because it was awful! Our dessert was described as 'deep fried ice cream covered in corn flakes' and we ended up getting bad quality store bought ice cream covered in corn flakes and plated in a stale deep fried shell. Horrible!
Our entrees were okay. I ended up getting the vegetarian enchiladas with tomatillo sauce and my husband got the cheese enchiladas with adobo sauce. Both were good, but nothing special so I don't see why they were $$$. Also, I don't want to be a prude but in a restaurant that is going to charge so much for a couple of enchiladas I'd expect to see beautifully plated entrees, but instead we were served NFK (nonfunctional garnishes) on our enchiladas in the form of canned olives and slices of red onion. Weird!
Overall, run of the mill Mexican food that can be found elsewhere for half of the price so don't bother dressing up and wasting your time coming to Javier's.
