Jerry Lucas

This is the taco , enchilada and tamal combo. Very good! The salsa is spicy , but I very much enjoy! By far the fanciest “Javier’s” I have been to by far! Plan in advance, make reservations .

Kimi Chiang

Delicious food and amazing service. We didn't make reservations , when we arrived it was a 2-2.5 hr wait. Servers helped us get a table in the lounge in 15 mins !!! Loved everything, esp flaca marg

Aaron Biebert

Amazing decor. Love the fire pits and open air seating throughout the restaurant . The food was just as tasty as you'd expect for such a beautiful place. You must try it!

Jonathan Payne

Went with about 10 people. Absolutely everything was amazing! Ceviche , Carnitas ,queso fundido , chile relleno , all superb. Also, service here is amazing! Every single person is polite and helpful.

Jeffrey Glueck

Go for la Tablita the taco platter (it's really fajitas ). So much food. The carnitas on the bone is tender with a crispy skin , don't miss it

Daniel Archer

Get the Cabo Azul , the Carnitas , or anything with shrimp or seafood . The enchiladas are amazing. And the jalapeño margaritas ????

Kristen Adam

Best deal in the house is the combo: cheese enchilada & shredded beef taco (really hungry? add the chili relleno ). If you truly want the good stuff get the carnitas . refried beans ... nuff said.

My wife had the most beautiful baby shower for her girlfriends this past February. Every detail was perfect including the impeccable service . We had a great time, many thanks Javier Jr, Rufino, & Suzi

Trevor

Excellent food! Margaritas were on point. Food serving was huge, consider splitting if you eat light!

La Tablita is fantastic. Also, the house margarita tastes just as great as the more expensive ones.

Ravin Dave

The tablita is dank and amaze! Good for two hungry dudes, but just don't eat too many chips before.

Rj St Thomas

Get the house margarita on the rocks, the Shredded beef Chimichanga with extra beef and top it off their caramel flan !

Nicholas VanderBorgh

Awesome seafood . Everyone loved it. . I was the guy who had the ribeye . This is not the place to have a steak . 1. It didnt look like it was 16 oz. 2) it was good but not great.

Maurizio Cocchi

Cool to stay at the bar , eat what you like and enjoy the atmosphere

Danielle Cavallucci

Trio of Enchiladas Del Mar.... arrival!! The BEST. DO it!!

Great food, atmosphere, location and awesome place to people watch ;)

Jun D

Try La Tablita ! It's so good! Enough for 2 to 3 people!!

AmateurConcierge

This 9+ rating is ridiculous. Definitely a scene in Newport Beach but food is not cheap and the quality is not aligned to price. Beans and rice side were not up to snuff. Jalapeno marg was not spicy

Nidhi Kay

Lobster enchiladas is a must!

Thomas Colton

Cougars. And I guess the food is pretty good too...

Ben Dunham

Try their signature margaritas . Jalapeños flavored one is a must try :]

Can't go wrong with Carnitas . Queso and Guacamole go great with the Chips . Order a pitcher of margaritas , you'll want more.
