Tío Javi's Fresh-Mex Bar & Grill

My friend took me here for the first time a few years ago and I fell in love with everything hers. The food, the people, the atmosphere. Everything is always superb. You can really tell the workers here take pride in their jobs. From the fresh homemade tortillas to the employees themselves everything is top tier. I have never been disappointed leaving here and have loved everything I've ever ordered. Great food! Great service! Great business!

Excellent meal, Julia treated us excellent with a beautiful smile. Perfect service. Food was excellent... ordered three beef tacos and rice and beans. Ambiance is great. Super clean

Great service and great food. The margaritas are top-of-the-line. Every time we're in town it's a must to stop in for some tacos and margaritas.

Tio Javi's continues its downward spiral for food and service and its upward soar in prices. This used to be our go to place for group dinners and after work gatherings, but it is clear that the restaurant doesn't really welcome that anymore. My colleagues continue to suggest Tio Javi's for work gatherings given its past reputation, but each time, we leave feeling as though our business was not welcomed. We are not your rowdy young crowd, and many in the group have held past restaurant experience or at least are respectful of the employees and go out of our way to simplify the experience of handling a larger group. The margaritas as of late taste more of fake sugar than authentic, or the sour in the mix is overpowering for the rocks variety. Depending on your bartender, other cocktails sometimes hit the mark, but other times, lack flavor or the proper amount of alcohol. Our last experience was for a late lunch after leaving work a little early, but our waitress seemed like she was rushing us so she could leave (i get it, her shift was soon to end, but they should have assigned a large party to someone who wasn't getting off a half hour after we were seated). The hard taco shells I had were soggy by arrival time, meat and toppings sliding off. And just about everything on everyone's plate was doused in liquid cheese or over sauced, drowning the flavor of the ingredients from shining through.Given the many other options out there and the many other places embracing larger groups, Tio Javi's is sadly falling behind on our gatherings radar. I hope the past few years have just been a fluke, and I do hope it rises back to its glory of yesteryear. However, if I am directing visitors to our city, Tio Javi's doesn't even cross my mind any more.

Service is terrible. Food is great. Place can be empty but you gonna wait 20 min to sit.

Food was really good food and service too. I was disappointed that it seems they have changed the chips they serve. Still decent but not nearly as good as the chips they had before. Cool spot for hanging out with friends or family.

This place was right next to my hotel so I gave it a try. It was so good I ate here again before I left. The first night I had raw tuna tacos. These came topped with a mango salsa and avocado with some kind of sauce. The tuna was grade A, the salsa was fresh and the avocado was ripe. That is about as close to perfect as a raw taco can get. There was so much tuna in each one that I almost didn't eat the third one.... almost. It was Tuesday, taco Tuesday, I was surprised to find that all taco plates are 12 dollars on Tuesday.The next time I had enchilada suisa. This is a favorite of mine but usually the chicken is a little tough. At Tio Javi's the chicken was tender and cooked to perfection.This looks like an elegant dining place, white table clothes etc but it is very reasonable. I will certainly be back.

Service was very good, the food was so bland we couldn't put enough seasoning to make it edbile. I never knew fajita meat could get so bland.

Good margaritas (but very sticky!) and service, but food leaves SO much to be desired. Like flavor (no sabor). Had Chicken Fajitas which is really frozen bland chicken slices on a bed of frozen onions heavily seasoned with black pepper, totally microwaved and served on a plate that was kept in an oven. The tortillas are also heated (improperly) in a microwave, and arrive with crispy and dried-out edges, so you can't really wrap the meal very well. The black beans were salty and out of a can with NO seasoning, and the rice is that industrial MSG-flavored stuff you get at all cheap Tex-Mex places. The guac was out of some Sysco container, too. The pico de gallo, surprisingly, was FRESH. Salsas are jarred, too. Nothing made on this site, but the prices are steep for 2 oz. of bland chicken. ALSO--THE EMERGENCY EXIT ON THE ELEVATED SEATING AREA IS TOTALLY BLOCKED BY A 6-TOP TABLE!!!!!!!! Scary. Don't recommend.

Great food and drinks!! My husband and I shared beef fajita nachos with an order of guacamole and white queso. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I've had a margarita on the rocks and a frozen margarita, both really good but the margarita on the rocks was great. Good service too!
