Explore the vibrant menu of Javier's Restaurant in Newport Beach, featuring fresh seafood enchiladas, premium grilled cuts, and classic Mexican antojitos. Enjoy a refined dining atmosphere with ocean views and signature flavors crafted for a memorable experience.
Javier's Restaurant - Newport Beach offers an exquisite dive into authentic Mexican flavors, elevated with a coastal twist. Their menu shines with fresh, vibrant offerings like the Aperitivos Del Mar selection, featuring ceviches of shrimp, octopus, ahi, and fish, each bursting with oceanic freshness. The Antojitos section crafts traditional Mexican street food—empanadas stuffed with shrimp, savory quesadillas, and zesty taquitos—imbued with rich, smoky notes from salsa quemada and chipotle. For lighter fare, the Ensaladas delight with vibrant, garden-fresh ingredients like roasted corn, avocado, and blue cheese, perfectly paired with grilled Angus skirt steak or house-made dressings.
The balance of bold spices and fresh ingredients is impressive, especially in signature dishes like the Enchiladas Poblanos, celebrated for their just-right mole—neither too sweet nor too thick. Dining here feels like a sensory journey, complemented by scenic ocean views and an upscale, inviting atmosphere. Javier’s masterful blend of tradition and refinement makes every bite memorable, whether sharing guacamole or savoring tender short ribs.

I have not been too Javier's since 2023 and I love the new remodel. It made me feel like I was in a different country, I love the new decor and the atmosphere was great. I ordered a short ribs, and my friend ordered the pork chop, both were delicious. Just don't go on the weekends as he gets packed. I went on a Wednesday and it was busy too.
