    Chips and salsa
    Vanessa G.

    Worst breakfast I have had in years. This place was right across from our hotel. A bartender from where we were drinking the night before told us not to eat here, and I should have listened. The interior inside is cute and they were playing great music. The watermelon agua fresa was also amazing. Thats where the goodness stops. 9 out of 10 times I order nachos at a Mexican restaurant after a night of partying. These nachos might as well have been from Taco Bell. I wish the menu stated it was nacho cheese instead of melted cheese. I loathe canned orange nacho cheese. With a place claiming to be authentic, I had no clue it was going to have canned cheese sauce. It was also swimming in guacamole. I only like guacamole in small doses, like a little scoop on top. These were almost inedible for me, I still can't get over the canned cheese. My husband told me to send it back. For $22, I didnt want to waste that money and then have to wait for a new meal. The asada itself tasted good. I should have ordered asada as a mulita or a torta instead. Also, I wanted shredded beef as my meat and was told I could only get asada as the beef. The chips were stale and tasted bagged. My husband had a chile relleno and a shrimp cocktail. He said they were good, but nothing to rave about. I picked the meat out of my nachos and ate that with a few chips. If you crave nachos with lots of melty actual grated cheese with homemade chips, this place aint it.

    We visited on Monday, with a party of three, for lunch and it was a very nice experience. We arrived and were seated immediately in a booth. The area where the restaurant is located is a bit sketchy, but the interior is nice. The have a pretty large menu with many options. Two of us went with Cheesy Tacos and one went with Fajitas. The tacos were excellent, with a side of burria consume. The fajitas portion was quite large with numerous side sauces. The service was great, the waiter was friendly and helpful. Overall, an excellent place for Mexican lunch.

    The Front Desk Staff at our hotel told us to eat here, and we were pleasantly surprised! The place is nice, and also clean. The Staff is extremely attentive, friendly, and sweet. We had Jason as our Server, and he was outstanding!!! Personable yet anticipated our every need. Everything one looks for in a great Server. Our food was delicious!!! This was our second time coming here during our stay in Palmdale. Bartenders Daniel and Emilio are also incredible! Emilio made me a drink in a special skull glass, which I totally loved!!! I appreciated that! We will be back again for breakfast next time... gotta try their bananas foster pancakes! ~Les apreciamos~

    Definitely recommend! It was our first time here and had a great experience. Our waiter Daniel was the best! He made sure to check up on us all the time. The food was delicious as well. I didn't think we were going to like it but honestly it exceeded our expectations. Finally Palmdale has a decent restaurant with great service and food. Also the place was nice and clean. I would definitely come back again.

    So the location is unfortunate but once you're inside you forget all about that. They did an incredible job at transforming an old diner and still paying homage to its roots in an elevated way. Super impressed! It was my first time here and we just went in with the intention of getting some drinks and sharing some nachos. Lucky us since we made it just moments before their happy hour ended. 2 beers for $5. What a deal! We ordered their nachos which was a great shareable portion and a solid 7.5/10. I know food costs have gone up but I will say $22 was a little rich. The deal on the beers more than made up for it though. Our bill was just under $30. Our server also told us they have happy hour M-F if I'm not mistaken and they serve breakfast all day. Btw, once we left here we went to Baracoa (a fancier dining environment) and were talking about how excellent the service was at the Mi Ranchito in comparison. Our server was kind and incredibly attentive at the Hacienda.

    Tried this place twice. I'd say the food is pretty typical authentic American Mexican. The sauces are good for the red hot sauce that comes on the tacos. Food is fairly priced and we've had good service both times. The interior is freshly remodeled and clean. They also have good happy hour specials two for five beers and five dollar margaritas but the margaritas are very small.

    Sebastian is honestly one of the main reasons we keep coming back to Javier's. He is always so…read morefriendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. He treats us with kindness and respect and always makes sure we're taken care of. You can tell he truly cares about the people & those who come back to visit. Javier's is lucky to have someone like him! I could easily see him helping another location, like Pasadena, because he has the personality to make people feel welcome and keep them coming back!!!

    WARNING: Please carpool. There is only $30 valet available…read more My first encounter with Javier's was in Cabo San lucas, Mexico. SInce I have been to Newport beach and Century City locations. However this location was not a nice experience. And with this early evening out experience, it was the first time I have ever pondered that tipping culture may be outdated and obsolete. I have really received better service from Denny's and iHop. When this is supposed to be fine dining I do expect fine service with it too. The food: It was good, but I order the same thing at all locations, the lobster enchiladas. So thumbs up with the consistency at the California locations. I do think the Cabo location has a little extra twist of tasty. Drinks: I don't remember them being this lackluster at locations. The restaurant is so beautiful and has a nice ambiance to it. It makes you feel like you have traveled somewhere outside of downtown L.A. but that is where the magic ends. Our waitress felt very matter of fact with us. She wasn't outgoing and welcoming. I wanted to try something different and was going to ask her for a suggestion, but she really made me feel like she just wanted my order and don't bother her with anything else. When it was time to collect the plates from the table, it was weird. The men helping to clear the table never said anything like excuse me when reaching across us. I am only 5'3 so me being chest to table is pretty normal. One of them came too close for comfort to my chest when reaching across trying to clear the tables. Slow down and pay attention to where you are reaching. At the end of dinner, we never even looked at the dessert menu because at that point we were just ready to go. Upon departure, we had to stand and wait for our vehicles. All 3 of use drove in separate cars. So, we spent almost what we paid for meals in parking. Please Javier group, figure this location out or give it up to a restaurant who is going to deliver food and service as beautiful as the place itself.

    Food 4.5/5! Most items were fantastic! My parents raved…read moreabout our the lamb chops price and portion $55 for 5 pieces of chops and veggies and potatoes was a steal, they said it themselves. We also got the big Shara le plate of Meats we got asada and carnitas, both were great frill flavors and good portion. Kids enjoyed their kids dishes as well. Desserts also great! The only bad part was our table for 8, we sat near the sun deck and it was definitely warm and not cooled temp. That was the only thing not the greatest. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5! Thank you!! Parking we parked across the street in a structure. Short walk!

    I love the ambience and food at Javier's; having been to Vegas and the Century City locations…read moremultiple times. This location in Pasadena is gorgeous. Food and service were very good too (no complaints). The address is listed 24 W Union St., Pasadena. I actively looked for it, also using google walking asdustant. I finally walked into a clothing store at the end of the block where one of the associates was kind enough to escort me out of the rear of their store down the gangway, around the corner to Javier's (signage is also poor on the rear of the establishment). My rating of 3 is due to overall poor signage (nothing on Union street, poor signage on the rear and nothing on the website indicating " entry is not on Union street" or relative verbiage. Once you walk off the main street (Union) down one of the gang alleys there are stores and cute boutiques. Thanks. Yes, I would go back, now that I understand the process for entry. Parking was satisfactory (16.00 for ~ 2 hours) as there were two or three parking facilities on the other side of Union. Establishment is very pretty! I said at the bar and the staff was lovely
