Hidden in the heart of Highland Park, Javier's is the best place in Dallas to find genuine Mexican City cuisine. The low-lit dining room at Javier's proves a great place to take a date in Dallas. The menu, which includes beef tenderloin, red snapper, chicken, and shrimp presents a fine mixture of the long Mexican Heritage which dates back to Aztecs and a strong European influence. Make a reservation......this is the place to be Thursday-Saturday. You may also see a celebrity if you look hard enough. |
