Eating at Javier's never disappoints with good street parking, sit anywhere you want, and solid Mexican food. My perfect lunch is the comp chips and salsa,

Ordered the Choose 4the chicken taco and chicken tostado had absolutely no flavor, the beef burrito was bland, and the beef enchilada was just okay.
