We had dinner and an authentic Mexican dance show with live music last night. The service and recipes were superb! The courtyard dining was all kinds of charming, and the prices were entirely reasonable. Best spot on the island for a slightly upscale but relaxing evening on the island that we've found so far. Javi has something truly special going on here. Reservations online are highly recommended.

What looked like a hole in the wall when we pulled up surprised us with a super cute courtyard and excellent Mexican food with live music! The lobster bites were to die for. There were 7 of us and everyone loved their meal. For a true Mexican experience I highly recommend this place.

Not sure why this is such a highly rated restaurant. Food was average. Service wasn’t great and music was kind of strange. Won’t return

We love Javi’s! The performances and food are wonderful. Sit in the courtyard. It’s so great we brought our friends back the next year.

Our server seemed occupied with other tables, we were told we got a free glass of wine for Valentine's Day but got charged for them. So we had to get those taken off. Our dirty martinis were sweet so they had to remake those and unfortunately the food was just ok. We've had way better food and service in years past.

Javis Cantina provided an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The service was both personable and professional—our server was attentive without being intrusive, making us feel genuinely welcome. The restaurant itself was spotless and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The drinks were crafted with great care and tasted fantastic, perfectly complementing the meal. Speaking of which, the fish was cooked to absolute perfection—moist, flavorful, and fresh, clearly prepared by skilled hands. What really stood out was when Javi, the owner, personally came out to greet us and welcomed us warmly to his restaurant. That personal touch made the experience even more special and memorable. Javis Cantina is truly a gem on the island and a must-visit for anyone looking for top-notch food, great drinks, and friendly service
