Reviews
“ This restaurant serves authentic Mexican Food, and yes I am qualified to have an opinion. Excellent Chili Rellenos, among top I've enjoyed outside of Mexico. Everything I've tried has been delicious, but given the challenge of finding an excellent Chili Relleno, I will always have at least one, but usually two. Service is always attentive. And I'm so glad found it when I moved from California 6 years ago. Well done Javi's! Never change your recipes. ”

“ The service here was really good. When we arrived, there was only one other table seated. I don't remember our servers name but she was attentive, kind, and quick. Also, she picked the music, and it was great haha The decor of the restaurant was really nice with something different to look at everywhere yet it was cohesive and enjoyable. My husband and I both ordered carne asada tacos with soft corn tortillas with rice and beans. Our son, who is a VERY picky eater, had a side order of Spanish rice. Our son LOVED the rice and ate his entire plate. Not even a grain of rice was left haha. My husband and I enjoyed our food; however, we did feel it was a little bland. I ordered my tacos with extra cilantro (pictured) and also had to request lime on the side. Usually tacos are automatically served with lime so that was odd. I really enjoyed the rice and beans mixed together and I also finished my entire plate. We will definitely be back. ”

“ I was looking for a good Mexican restaurant last night and went to el mariachi Kaneohe. I was surprised that it's now Javi Mexican restaurant. We decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. The food was incredible and even my two younger daughters who are picky eaters scraped their plates. We even had the fried ice cream and that was amazing. If you're out in Kaneohe give it a try. You will be happy ”

“ Best Mexican food I have had on the the windward side. So happy to have such an awesome place near by! Had the carnitas and carne asada and they were both amazing! ”

“ Javis (formerly El Mariachi) is the best Mexican on the windward side. The food is delicious and the portions super large. I loved the restaurant when it was El Mariachi and I love it now. After speaking with the manager - I learned that the new owner is a relative of the former owners and the same recipes are used. Definitely worth the drive from Kailua!! ”
