- Robyn HarmanSeptember 9, 2018Authentic Mexico City cuisine with a fun vibe. Their margaritas won't disappoint, and they have a cigar bar if you're into that! Only place I've seen that serves butter with their chips and salsa. :)
- Meredith WarrenSeptember 25, 2018True Mexico City gourmet Mexican food. This place has been around for years and it's no surprise why. The entire menu is delicious, but it would be a mistake not to order the Filete Cantinflas.
The Escalope Cordon Azul (stuffed veal) is to die for. Ask for Eddie #2 (since there's 2 Eddies)...he's absolutely amazing and has been serving my family and I since 2003.
Robyn HarmanNovember 21, 2017Try the margaritas. And if you're into cigars, ask about their selection. There's also a flaming drink that's pretty cool to see - and tasty too.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014They serve traditional-but-fancy Mexican, like Filete Pimienta and Pechuga de Pollo a la Parilla. The maitre'd always has a cool car parked out front. Read more
Dallas ObserverAugust 19, 2014Since 1977 Javier's has been a Mexican classic in Dallas, one that sneers at Tex-Mex in favor of sophisticated Mexico City cuisine. Read more
- Jim BenitezApril 30, 2013One of the best places for traditional Mexican cuisine, top shelf margaritas etc. also I very pleasant sizable cigar bar
ElisaDecember 16, 2012Order the special cheese-stuffed filet and make sure you get the after dinner drink they set on fire!! Tres Leches was good as well- BigDFoodTrucksMarch 1, 2012The Filete Cantinflas, Smoked chicken nachos & Mexican Martini are a must! And be sure to have a pre/post dinner drink in the handsome cigar bar.
- MacKenzie CowanApril 10, 2016I could not rave enough about the Filete Cantinflas, the smoked chicken nachos or salsa Verde. It is to die for!!!
Roberto Bruder AguiarOctober 13, 2015Authentic Mexican food. Excellent options. You won't go wrong with anything.
Sam LickerAugust 18, 2019Incredible. Cadillac margarita + cheese panela + filet cantinflas and you’re set!
Dan BackhausNovember 19, 2013Great food, attentive service, nice upscale ambiance. Amazing tequila selection!- MarktheSpaMan McKenneyFebruary 3, 2017Good food, great selection, just the right atmosphere; perfect!
Morgano PendragonJuly 8, 2014You have to..HAVE TO..try Victor's rocks/salt margarita..#holyhashtagBatman..so yummy!!
Esther MontoyaMay 21, 2015Disappointed: the filete Cantinflas is a thin piece of steak with lots of cheese. The corn and flour tortillas were store bought and tasteless. Food taste was plain/ordinary for a 29.00 entree.
Check out the cigar room if you're early, or just for a drink
Julio is the best! If you have him take care of him! He will make sure you have the best experience.
Get the Sangrita shot, hidden gem. Order tequila and it is an extra drink that accompanies it. You will like it guaranteed or I'll buy you a margarita!
Have two top shelf margaritas. One is not enough and three is too many. Shovel it all in by the pound!- Filete Cantinflas - One of the best Mexican entrées of all time
ILiveInDallas.comApril 9, 2012One date at Javier’s and she’ll be calling you Papi by the end of the night.
Last meal on earth would be: app - cheese panela, entree - Filete Cantinflas (medium) and a chambord marg meltdown before and after:)
Manny is the best bartender! Make sure to tip the staff well.
Margarita with Serrano peppers. Talk about a drink with a kick.
