I was in the area and I looked on Apple Maps and filtered the Yelp results for Mexican Cuisine. I…read morereally enjoyed the surrounding country side and farms. The area looks like a place someone would love to retire in. I went for the highest rated Mexican restaurant in the area. I was surprised to see the outside of the building, it looked like an old gas station or house. The parking lot seemed full so it had to be good. I live in an area of Nashville where there is a plethora of good authentic Mexican and Central American cuisine. I still have an affinity for these kind of Tex-Mex places in most of the US. Upon entry I was greeted immediately and seated immediately. The menu did have a good selection of traditional tex Mex options. I opted for the Carne Asada with corn tortillas. The food came out very quickly and I enjoyed the meal. My only criticism was the tortillas were not hand made and also the beans seemed very light in color which is not to my liking. The best thing about this meal was the price! Very reasonable. I would eat here again if in the area.

Fantastic, authentic food, good drinks, really nice service. We friends have travelled together, and found truly atrocious Mexican far from home, but Javi's did not disappoint. Really glad we came here instead of the steak joint our tour guide recommended. Between the eight of us, we had many different entrees, and all were pleased. Cool vibe in the place, too. Weekend nights could be fun.

The chicken tacos with rice and beans are great. Service is excellent every time I've called, fast service, enjoy the vibe of the place. My only complaint would be to have more limes, maybe half a lime to a whole one instead of one slice for all of the tacos. My husband and I looooove limes. Other than that, have recommended this place to family and friends. Will definitely go back.

First time, I ordered to go…read more It's been a few days, I ordered burrito to go, and some street tacos. My review is compared to Authentic Mexican seasoning in Mexican food. Not what I'm used too, but I get it, the business is going to sell what the geographical folks are buying. Over all not a bad place to grab a quick bit giving the location, there's limited options and if you're in a pinch, not a bad spot to stop bye. I'm sure their fajitas are great, reason I say that is because, that's essentially what my burrito was. Support your local spot, God Bless and Enjoy!

This is our Go To for Mexican in our town. The food is flavorful and fresh!…read more It reminds us a little of the authentic Mexican food on the west coast. Though we understand that Mexico has many regions that have their traditional way of cooking but for us, we are thrilled to get Mexican dishes that are unique in flavor. They have a great salsa choices to meet your spice preferences. The waitstaff are very attentive and prompt. I would prefer lighter saltier tortilla chips to snack on, these are the typical restaurant style that are thick and I can't taste seasoning, so I end up adding salt, which is something I have to hunt down from other tables! The restaurant is clean, I'm not a fan of clutter, I have enough of that in my home! They have alcohol to serve but the bar is not a place to sit at. It's counter is cluttered with "stuff" so not inviting. But they will make you a drink and serve it to your table. It's pretty echoey in both rooms. The noise level gets annoying, especially when there are large groups or they have live music. We basically do not or cannot hold a conversation at our table because of the noise level. They could use something on the walls to absorb the decibels. All in all, we are thrilled to have choices in Mexican restaurants in this little town. And they are a great support to the community!

It smells like cheap bathroom cleaner already from thirty feet outside the entrance. Really gross…read more I mean, it's supposed to be an eating establishment!.. And there's a long wait. In the very middle of NOWHERE. However, there was nothing else around and this place saved us. (Ran out of snacks in the car.) Know this: If you order a salad bowl with sour cream, Pico de gallo and refried beans, you'll get a really juicy tasty bowl. If you don't, and just get black beans, it's dry and tasteless, and you really have an awareness that you're just eating food to stay alive, without feeling like it's tasty AT ALL.

I have been going to this restaurant since before my taste buds developed. In fact, this restaurant…read moreis probably the sole reason I have such good taste. No other Mexican food can ever and has ever topped this ( though cheese and mushroom empanadas in Mexico was a close second ). I have no idea why this little town was blessed with such an amazing establishment. I am still surprised each time I go that the food, the service, the people, the music, the everything about this restaurant is so amazing. I've only just turned 21 and I'm a heavy weight; but their Bahama mamma? Not only does it taste like a magical sunset, it's the perfect ratio of liquor and flavor. And don't even get me started on the staff. I have never once seen someone who works at this place be unkind or not smile. They don't rush you, they refill your drinks ( and salsa) and have never once been unkind. Sometimes i get scared that I'm not being as nice as our server, and I wish I was rich so I could share that wealth with the wonderful staff here. Basically; if I could only go to one restaurant for the rest of my life, it would be El Jardin.
