Javi's Best Of Tex-mex

I’m a big chips and salsa guy. If that first impression isn’t there I’m not giving five stars. Well, the chips and salsa are the reason I’m giving five stars. I really don’t say this lightly and I know there are a million different taste buds out there, but one of the best overall salsas I’ve had. Spicy enough and fresh! Chips came out nice and warm; not too overdone. I just got the carnitas street tacos and they were really good, but I can’t comment on any of the more involved dishes. Person who greeted me and sat me could’ve been more entreating and friendly. She was young so I give the restaurant a pass on that. It’s hard to find good help these days. My server was very friendly and attentive!

Three of us were there for dinner last night. The place is clean and spacious - not dripping with ambience, but very nice. We had the La Dama enchiladas, the Blanca’s enchiladas,and the Poblano tacos. All were superb! Their restaurant is named Tex- mex, but it is really more straightforward Mexican food - not smothered in cheese. The flavors were complex and exceptional- when you know there’s a chef in the kitchen instead of a cook. The chips and salsa were excellent as well. Highly recommended. It is unusual to find Mexican food this good and this reasonably priced, especially so near the airport. Unfortunately, we live in Seguin, or we would be regulars.

I recently had the chicken fajita salad with chipotle dressing on the side for lunch at Javi's, a Tex-Mex restaurant. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the salad was fresh and well-composed. The chipotle dressing added a nice kick. The portion was huge, so come hungry! As always, I had a great experience at Javi's and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good Tex-Mex meal.

Stayed in Austin for the weekend and last minute decided to try Javi's since our hotel was across the street. Didn't expect much but have to say food was very good. We got 3 different enchilada plates to go and all were really good. Food was fresh and hot! Rice was good. Beans needed some flavor. Salsa wasn't my favorite as its cold salsa and i like hot (warm) salsa but all around definitely would go back. Not authentic Mexican but really good tex mex.
