Javi's Hilmar Mexican Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

  I've been to Javi's numerous times, and it's been really good. The food is authentic, and flavorful. Any time I go to a Mexican restaurant I make sure I try their Carnitas it's my personal measuring stick when it comes to Mexican Resturants. Javi's ranks right up there.
  
  The Staff is pretty nice, they promptly bring you refills on your chips, Salsa, and refreshments. When ordering plates, Carnitas, or Fajitas, any plate that comes with tortillas. Make note you only get 3 corn, or 2 flour tortillas. That's it. You can probably get more for a fee, but that's the normal unrequested  amount you get. I think it's skimpy but that's just my opinion. Other than that, I haven't had a bad experience yet.

  Been here many times for dinner and it can be hit or miss.  Their Salsa Verde is not very flavorful at all and I usually end up using their hot salsa that comes with the chips on my tacos.  Service is usually pretty good and the bar area is nice and there are a lot of TV's.
  
  There are usually a lot of people there on Saturdays as it is the only bar in town with a DJ, so if you want to people watch, and you happen to find yourself in Hilmar you know where to go.

  I ate at Javi's in Hilmar today. It has been a few years since I ate there. It use to be my favorite Mexican Restaurant. However today's experience was horrible. My lemonade was watered down, my carne asada burrito was tasteless. I ask for extra green sauce to poor over the burrito in hopes it would give it more flavor but no such luck. The green sauce was really thin and tasteless. The carne asada was really fatty. My mom asked for her tamales dry and they came out soaked in sauce. I told the waitress and all she said was that's right. No apology, no offering to bring her another one. My mom ate the tamale the way it was. And I agree with the review that the waitresses hide behind the fish tank. Ohh and the chips have changed too or they are no longer serving fresh chips. Unless I have no other choice in the matter I will not be going back.

  This restaurant is good to real good. The portions are plentiful and the food itself is freshly made. I get the chicken ala mexicana and it is my favorite dish there. My wife has the chicken burrito supreme. We Aleta have a great experience at this restaurant. I haven't tried all things on the menu, but the enchilladas, milanesas, chimichangas, and the items previously mentioned and great.

  well i think this is the only mexican place in this town- we had dome business to do in Hilmar and decided to eat local. well the service not that great- the waitresses hide behind the fishtank (or whatever it was )so there was a few times we had to flag them down to order food get water refills etc. good portions but the food is not of great quality. I'd rather go home and eat a can of pinto beans in a tortilla.
