    Service was terrific, margaritas, chips, guacamole & queso very good. Ambiance was nice. The meal itself was a bit bland; this was the feeling of my entire dinner party. It was good but could’ve been more flavorful.

    Great food and service. Our server Amber was very attentive and informative since this was our first time there. Atmosphere was quite noisy. I am putting this partially due to it being prom night. Great experience overall. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely return. This may just be our favorite Mexican restaurant overall.

    Javi’s did not disappoint. Our reservation was honored and we were taken right to our table, party of 5. Our server was awesome and made sure we were being serviced throughout the dinner. The vibe was lively and nice crowds. The restaurant was clean, great staff and tasty food. My favorite restaurant in Tyler, TX.

    We decided to make our first try at this restaurant a special date night, and it certainly had a charming location and atmosphere that we loved! However, we did face a bit of a hiccup when we found our table and booth a bit dirty, prompting us to wipe it down ourselves. Thankfully, our reservation was ready within five minutes of our arrival, but the service was a tad slow—especially when it came to our drinks. On a positive note, the queso was absolutely delicious, and the salsa was lovely too! We opted for sharing the ribeye fajitas, which came with a twist called “sunrise.” This meant melted cheese and fried onions on top, but unfortunately, it wasn’t quite our flavor preference. We felt it took away from the wonderful taste of the fajitas themselves, so that’s something we might skip next time. We rounded off our meal with a Tres Leche cake, and wow—this was definitely the highlight of the evening! My wife couldn’t stop raving about how delicious her margarita was, too. Overall, while we enjoyed this visit, we definitely think there’s room for improvement in the service, wait times, and restaurant cleanliness. We’re excited to give it another shot, perhaps on a warmer evening when we can sit out on the patio and explore more of their menu offerings!

    Outstanding food, good service and very comfortable & relaxed atmosphere. Best Mexican food that we’ve had in Tyler! Highly recommended. Also, the availability of Open Table for reservations is a key feature, as this is a very popular establishment.
