The Peruvian Shrimp tacos were delicious. I had a Javi margarita that I loved!! I would definitely come back whenever I am in Tyler.

I stopped by Javi's in Tyler last minute to meet up with a friend, and honestly, I'm glad I did!…read moreThe ambience was freaking amazing from the beautiful chandeliers to the pond in the back and the spacious patio area. The whole place gives off so many different vibes, and there's plenty of room to relax, hang out, and enjoy yourself. The drinks were definitely the highlight, especially the frozen drinks! I also had a few shots. They give complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. However the salsa wasn't really my favorite. It was pretty bland and felt like it was missing that extra flavor and kick. That's just me. I didn't get a chance to try the food this visit, so I can't speak on that just yet but that gives me another reason to come back! I'll definitely be back to give the food a try and experience the atmosphere again. Overall, great spot for the vibes, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Tyler!

Their service was quite fast, but nothing to write home about. The omelette with Bernadaise sauce, and the omelette with steak pieces were well enjoyed.

My appetizer was missing some stuff that I saw another waitress carry out (the same appetizer) fully loaded. Esquites is messy without a spoon, my friends. Everything felt messy and the napkins were not easy to ask for when everyone is running by. The prices on the menu do not match what is charged. I'm not sure why but our meal was a lot less expensive than anticipated, not a bad thing, but I wish the prices were clear because I would have ordered something different. Speaking of the menu, dang. That thing is a beast! It took me so long just to get through it and decide what I wanted. If you can find an online version study up! The food was quick and fresh. I have no complaints there! The soft-serve margarita was everything I hoped it would be. Lastly, the restroom ruined my whole night. It is a cesspool and thinking of the staff also washing and using the facilities makes me cringe. I can only speak for the ladies room when I say the temperature was a good 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the building. There was NO circulation, so guess what? All the stank stays in the stall. I'm sorry I don't know how else to explain what I experienced but I had to go home and shower.

It reminded me of back home (South Texas). The whole staff were very friendly and nice. They were very patient as it was our first time. We got some mexican sodas, two pounds of barbacoa, two cups of menudo, warm corn tortillas, flour tortillas, and some salsa verde. Everything was so delicious. The green salsa isn't too spicy it's just the right amount of heat to where you can still enjoy it. The tortillas were so good too. The barbacoa was definitely some of the best I've had. I will say if you're not a big fan of messes maybe pay the extra fee so they can cut the barbacoa for you. Overall we enjoyed the food and the prices weren't too bad for the portions. I will add to show up early as they do get busy and sell out quick. Next time we go we will definitely try their tamales.

So, I initially chose this spot for the vegetarian section on the menu, which I appreciate. Eric took care of us today and was patient with the questions/requests I needed to make about the food options. Shoutout for being awesome - thanks! I got a fresca bowl, which I enjoyed. The beef fajita meat and the roasted red sauce that came with the chips were especially delicious. About the ambiance: the space is clean, comfortable, and has a nice vibe. I'd definitely visit again when in town.
