  • Javier's Las Vegas is one place we have hesitated to try. Why? It's expensive for Mexican food. And we didn't know if it would be worth the hype. But after so many viewers said it was great, we knew we needed to try Javier's once and for all and see for ourselves. See what we thought!

      Totally disappointed- stale chips, flavorless salsa, unseasoned entree. Great margaritas and ambiance, though! Said I would give it another chance, but not excited to go back :(

    Melissa, The thumbnail is beautiful. I was holding my breath waiting to hear your review. From the minute you liked your margarita I knew it was going in the right direction. Your review was excellent. It’s one of my favorite upscale Mexican restaurants. From the ambiance,presentation,cocktails,entrees, and desserts.It never disappoints ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Loved your Vecindad Vegas and Javier’s Vegas reviews. I have yet to visit Javiers anywhere, but did go to Vecindad. You are “on point” with Vecindad, so I would definitely consider your review for Javier’s. I am not a huge seafood diner, but would prefer the steak option or other non seafood meals. Thank you for keeping it real! 😉

    • @UpUpOurWay
      @UpUpOurWay  ปีที่แล้ว

      Javier’s was delicious, but definitely more upscale and not “traditional”. As long as you don’t expect that and have an open mind, you’ll really enjoy the flavors. Enrique doesn’t eat seafood, so we will always have at least one non-seafood dish. 🤣
