Javi's Hilmar Mexican Restaurant

Solid Mexican restaurant with no frills. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is fresh but I felt under seasoned and bland but the salsas were good. I had a chicken taco salad which was good with very generous portions. I would dine here again but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here.

Food is ok, not authentic Mexican like you would expect, the bar and service is great. The drinks are good and the bar area has great ambiance.

I love this place and all the workers Richard was my favorite. He's so friendly and so sure he can really work that floor in the bar area. I gave him a five stars.

My review is just based on the bar and drinks. Bar area is HUGE and has numerous TVs and lots of cool football memorabilia. Happy hour every day from 12-8! I got a michelada, it was spicy and solid, buy I've had much better. Good place to visit if you're in Hilmar.

Last time I I went to this establishment was probably 7 years ago and I swore I'd never go back. Recently met some friends there decided to give it another shot and was even more disappointed than the last time I went. The customer service was wonderful and the chips and salsa were great. The biggest issue for me is that everything on the menu was $16.99 or higher and when I realized this it threw up a flag for me. If everything on the menu is the same price what does that say to the customer? If I had to say there were way too many things to choose from and everything looked mediocre. I decided to go with something very simple wishing for the best. I got the asada plate and a michelada. The meat was so tough I literally could not chew it and my michelada being $8 dollars wasn't even 3/4 full of beer it had more miche than most micheladas. In conclusion minimum wage is going up but that doesn't mean you should have 10 people working and not even 7 customers in the establishment. Also I can see menu prices going up but why make them all the same price when the quality of food is garbage. You can't ask for more money if your food isn't worth even half of the price. I don't care if I lived in Hilmar and Javis was the only decent place in town I'd drive at least 30 minutes out of my way to get better food for a better bargain. On a Sunday night my tab for the asada plate and 2 red beers was $35 dollars and some change of course I left a good tip so for $41 dollars I left still hungry and very disappointed will not be going back and will not be recommending Javis to anyone. I could have bought a 6 pack at the liquor store and a taco truck burrito for about $15 dollars and would have been a whole lot happier. If your going to be a well known chain establishment and have multiple locations in the valley at least take pride in the food that you sell.

Great food and great service. I had a tampiqueña and my husband got camarones en crema. Both plates were delicious. We'll definitely will be back soon.

The food was great and the service was excellent. The waiter Alondra was very nice and she attended me very well
