Javier's

Top choice in Dallas


This deeply cultured restaurant takes the gentrified cuisine of old Mexico City to new levels; forget whatever ideas you may have previously held about Tex-Mex. The setting is dark, leathery and quiet, while the food is meaty and piquant. Steaks come with Mexican flavors that bring out the best in beef. Ask for a table under the stars.

Set in Highland Park, 4 miles north of downtown, it has valet parking only.
