Salsa bar was amazing. Burrotos were big and Asada cooked perfectly. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again.

My husband and I had been anxious to try Javi’s so we went on taco Tuesday. First, the handicapped seating left a lot to be desired and my husband couldn’t really sit next to me. Second, while the tacos tasted great, I got sick all the way home.

Food tastes bad here. The nachos are unappealing, greasy tasting. It used to be good when they first opened, but it’s no longer the case. The service is slow as well. To top it off, prices went up quite a bit. $8 for this massive amount of bad tasting food. A fail in many ways.

The bird is pretty good but the price is a little bit on the high-end I wish they did serve chips and salsa until you wait there but they sell french fries with your meal it ok

Used to be one of our favorites. Neither of us could eat our food today. Not happy about posting this, but thought the owner should know that things have detiorated to the point that we couldn’t even eat our food.

Great food and awesome service. Covid-19 social distancing and masks required. Excellent prices as well as veterans discounts. Vast menu to choose from, delicious drink variety as well as drinking fountains. Highly recommended for the family dinner

Update: this place no longer offer Tuesday Thursdays and Sunday $1 tacos. It’s now 1.25. Yes it’s just. 25 over taco but it hadds up when ordering for a family. I might just go to a Mobile taco shack now. Reason I liked to go to javi because it was cheap. It’s rare to find a place that sells tacos for a buck. If the taco was a bigger size I would say 1.25 is nice but it’s the small taco. Taco picture is asada.
