Absolutely fantastic. The food was superb. We had brunch and couldn't have been more happy. Every single employee there is happy, pleasant, smiling, and courteous. Ownership and management clearly knows how to run an operation like this properly, while motivating and treating their staff with respect and a fair wage. Look forward to dinner next time. read more

I accidentally ordered from this place and would go back if all of my other spots were closed. If your looking for a great spicy authentic Mexican breakfast there is one just down the street from Javier's. The juevos rancheros had no chili in the sauce, no spice and was bland bland bland. read more

A lovely diner! Great food overall with big portions and reasonable prices. I ordered enchiladas michoacana. They served free chips and salsa first and are on top of refills regularly. The enchiladas were soft and melted in my mouth. A lot of melted cheese which I appreciated also. Only downside was the breakfast potatoes. They were hard and dense to the bite high felt like they were not fully cooked. And the wait for food was pretty long for us, but they were busy and apologized for it. Very cute atmosphere and classic Latin dishes for everyone! read more

Javier's Diner - Enchiladas Michoacanas - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was such a let down. The buffalo wings were disgusting-not crispy at all-soggy-breading falling off them like you had dipped them in water prior to serving me them. Our waitress gave us the wrong plates for our skillets-I sent mine back but my buddy had already dove into his (which was really mine-we ordered similar plates but mine was no potato) No new plate, no concession on uneatable wings-still charged me for them. Way better diners in denver than this-terrible experience. Told the manager on the way out about the wings-no offer for a refund-did not seem to give a **** about it and I was like super polite about it-go somewhere else. read more

We have been coming to Javier's for breakfast for a very long time but never dinner. I recently ordered dinner for delivery and should have known... the food is fab. We got carnitas enchiladas, Chili cheese fries and shrimp tacos. I've never had carnitas enchiladas before WOW. They serve with a side of potatoes though which is weird not much flavor to them but also beans, lettuce, sour cream. Going to have to visit for dinner soon. Mmmm. read more

We loved the outdoor seating so we decided to try this restaurant. The staff was super friendly and attentive. However, 2 out of 4 of us were disappointed in the dishes they ordered. The chips were a bit stale as well. read more

Food was meh. My quesadilla had pico, cilantro, raw onion and rice, which isn't a problem if I knew it was going to be on it. And after I finished my first quarter the rest of meal was soaked in mysterious liquid. Lost my appetite and will not be going here again. read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Javier's Diner. Even though they were understaffed, the service was wonderful and the servers were very friendly! Best breakfast burrito I've had in Denver area as well as some of the best prices I've seen statewide! I'll be back! read more

Service was absolutely horrible. After our server took our order he didn't check on us once in 2+ hours. In speaking with a manager it was apparent that he did not care. I tried another manger, Carlos, and got the same result. Because we were not California VIP's they could care less that our experience was not up to par. I told him it was unacceptable but hardly got an apology. He said we are a busy restaurant and that the service given was acceptable. In the end, it was my fault and i was told i was not allowed back. I would NEVER, EVER go back. read more

First time here...wildly hungover. Just what I needed. PROPER cocktails, old school service, and cured my pounding head. I'm honestly mad at myself for sleeping on this place for so long. read more

Since new owner/management has taken over this place has totally changed into a shithole. Not to mention the overly aggressive server who kept wiping his nose from all the coke he kept snorting going to the restroom. My wife ordered the Greek salad and I ordered the pregnant burrito. When our food arrived she asked for Greek dressing. He said they were all out. After he offered ranch or avocado ranch she said no thanks and returned the food. He asked what was Greek dressing anyway very rudely. She tried explaining what it was and halfway through he went back to the restroom obviously to do more cocaine. We asked the manager to not have this guy serve us anymore. She said he's just high strung. WHAT????? Food quality has gone down the drain as well with higher prices. We will never go back there again. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Tennyson St has a lot to offer so have fun. read more

Cynthia from California. This place is amazing. Great service the food is so authentic. We had the Molcajete fot 2 and we were very pleased with the flavor and the amount of food. The horchata was very refreshing and the flavor was perfect. The prices are great. The seating area outside is so cute great ambiance. Would definitely be back when in Town. read more

Javier's Diner - Molcajete for 2 - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The atmosphere is great! I feel like I can sit there for forever and be blissfully comfy. I would give this 4 stars, but my experience was generally lacking in several ways. 1.) I ordered the avacado breakfast burrito with sausage and the server repeated the order, yet when I got my burrito it was bombarded with bacon and had no sausage. I couldn't wave down the server since she was in the other side of the building and eventually I saw her walk outside so I just waved down a different worker. I explained what happened, and she just asked "who's your server?" She seemed annoyed and had zero enthusiasm to help. Eventually I think it was the manager who helped us. I think if we were just checked on earlier it wouldn't get to this point lol 2.) Despite being told that my boyfriend's pancakes were coming, they never came until I told the manager who fixed my burrito. I also didn't get my drink until a reminder later. Same with getting a to go box. I'd understand if the restaurant was packed with customers, but it wasn't that busy and the servers were either inexperienced or unfriendly (except the manager). On the other hand, the food was decent and generous in proportions. The nachos had a mountain of toppings which was great, and my burrito filled me up to the top! I wouldn't mind coming back in the future but there needs to be a tremendous change in staff training. read more

Great place, service was not. The food here was outstanding! Probably the best breakfast skillet I have ever had. The service was friendly but not attentive. Had to flag a server down to try to get my tortillas and green chili well after my meal was delivered. I understand they recently had a change of ownership so I will give it one more try in a month. If the service is poor again, i wont be back, but if the service is good, I will change my rating to 5 stars! The food was good enough to try it again read more

I've driven pass Javier's many times. It always looks busy! Their outside patio looks so inviting I had to stop a few days ago. They serve mostly Mexican inclined dishes but they do have a few old standbys like bacon, eggs and toast. Or in this case I chose their chorizo. Awesome choice! Their chorizo is one of the best. Perfectly seasoned. Not too spicy and still good the following day:) On a sunny day outside seating is preferred. They day we went most people were inside. You pay on the way out and yes there could be a line for that. Solid place for good ol' way to break your fast! read more

Just a great little greasy-spoon in the neighborhood. I have had some great breakfast grub here at Javier & C's. The best breakfast by far, though, is the Chile Relleno plate. It sounds odd, but it's a Chile Relleno smothered in green chile with eggs and potatoes and beans and sour cream. Delicious! They make some pretty great pancakes as well, but trust me on the Chille Relleno Breakfast, yum! I love a breakfast place with a patio! So does everyone else. Sunday late-morning, this place is PACKED. So, be prepared to wait a while, or head in on a Saturday morning when they are less busy. This place could use a liquor license. A nice, big, bloody-mary or cold corona would pair perfectly with the many mexican breakfast dishes on their menu. But, other than that, no complaints. They even have off street parking here! And, the prices are great. Two people would have a really difficult time spending $20 on a meal here. Just a great spot. read more

Javier's Diner - a plate with a candle on it - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A staple in the highlands for many years, shut down for 2 months as we figure out how to deal with covid. Finally they are open and we can help support all the wonderful employees. I ordered the mass confusion with a side of pancakes and refried beans (beans are for later in the day). Soooo good and now I'm sooo full. The posole is amazing as are the micheladas. Aside from the food being delicious, all the employees treat us like friends and it's the main reason we keep going back. read more

I went to this diner a couple of times with friends and the food is absolutely horrible and the place is very dirty. With all the other options on Tennyson st it's hard to believe this place will last. The owner also is very rude and won't help you leave if someone blocks your car in. Hell make you go around the restaurant yourself asking people if they drove the car that blocked you. Unbelievably bad hospitality and food. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

This place is our go to for great breakfast off Tennyson. Consistently great service, consistent food and always welcoming.

We were in today and never have we had to wait to order or get our food. People came in after us and order quickly and got their food about 20 min before we did. We have been there plenty of times and is out go to when we go out to eat... the service was awful and we won't be going back. Sad because we have never had a problem before. read more

Javiers Diner was delicious and the bloody mart was great. Highly recommend. Great wait staff, very friendly. Several more items I want to try. read more

I've been to Javiers's a couple of times and the food is good. They advertise an $8 breakfast menu outside on two large banners, yet 3 weeks ago when I went, I was told by the server that "we are no longer doing that, it didn't work out". I still ordered a meal and ate. I just drove by and the banners are still up. Either the server lied to me or Javier's is advertising something that they aren't offering to draw people into their restaurant. I don't like being lied to. I will not return and advise everyone else to avoid this place because they are dishonest. read more

The green chili at Javier's is fantastic. Our table ordered the green chili cheese fries to share for breakfast and had no regrets. We also ordered the veggie burrito and veggie skillet. We've never had a problem getting seated and the service is always exceptional. If you're looking for a Mexican diner for brunch, look no further. Javier's has everything you need! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Javier's. The best Mexican breakfast- eggs done right, excellent hash brown potatoes, good tortillas and everything covered with excellent green chili. Service is wonderful and they make you feel like a regular even if you are just dropping buy. If I arrive in the morning or lunchtime, this is my first stop when I hit Denver. read more

service is fantastic and are very accommodating for large groups. food is always so yummy too! have never had a bad experience. definitely recommend the patio for brunch when it starts to get warmer out! read more

Poor service, took 45 mins just to bring out queso and another hour for entrees. food was just okay

Excellent food! Always fresh , hot and seasoned to perfection. Staff is efficient, friendly and fast. Top it all off with a tasty margarita

This place makes the perfect breakfast burrito for me. That's because I am a simple person when it comes to this morning creation. I want a tortilla stuffed with eggs, a breakfast meat, potatoes and occasionally avocado. I want the green chili to be super tasty and on the side. Javier & C's serves this up for me just the way I like it. And they do it in a fast and friendly manner. They also make a mean pancake. I may not come over this way every weekend for breakfast because there are a couple places closer to home that I prefer, but this place is big on character and definitely warrants repeat patronage. read more

This place should be called Javi-hairs diner. Each part of our meal contained several hairs. Salsa is kick ass, nothing else. My wife and I ordered two separate burritos, they were literally the same minus the avocado on hers (avocado burrito). I will never come here ever again nor should you. read more

I have to say, this place rocks and I didn't expect it. Clean, friendly, tasty little 'Mexican' greasy spoon. Fresh coffee, solid breakfasts, and just all around great food. I agree, this is a nice little local business that keeps it real. Try the gyro omelette, just done right! Bacon cooked proper, great chorizo... I'm beginning to drool just thinking about it! read more

Vegetarians beware! Their beans (black, pinto, refried, all of them) aren't veggie friendly and are mixed in lard. Isolates a lot of potential customers. I live a block away and would have loved this to be a neighborhood spot. read more
