Javier's - La Jolla
Mexican
An ornamental rope sculpture anchors the bar, tropical plants cradle the booths, and lanterns glow softly over decorative stonework, so the room earns its atmosphere before the menu arrives. This is an upscale Mexican restaurant with serious intentions: the kitchen pulls from across Mexico, landing somewhere between coastal and interior, with dishes like Dungeness crab enchiladas in tomatillo sauce alongside steak and wild prawns. The guava cheesecake closes things out well.
