Restaurants near Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

There were two of us at Jake’s last night for dinner. We started with a couple of appetizers and each of us had a margarita. Well, the appetizers were so fantastic that we just stuck with a variety of appetizers (6 total) all eve. I highly recommend the crab cake and mussels appetizers!! It doesn’t get better than these. Also, I want to mention that our our server was AMAZING. We are both gluten-free and he was so attentive to that requirement that he graciously went to the kitchen several times to ensure that all was GF. He even suggested ways to alter a dish to make it GF and then instructed the kitchen in ways to accommodate our needs. A very enjoyable evening!

Took my wife here for her birthday on Friday and had a great experience. My wife ordered a filet mignon cooked well done. It did come out a little too well done so they had to put in another one. However, filet mignon’s are not meant to be cooked well done so we get it. At the end of the day, they made everything right the food tasted amazing And the staff was quick and helpful ! Highly recommend 

Best high end Mexican food we’ve in San Diego! We had the filet mignon ranchero and the El Vaquero plate. The meat was cooked perfectly on both plates and the flavors were delicious! Kudos to the Chef. The service was outstanding and our server was extremely knowledgeable for our child’s food allergies. Can’t wait to go back.

The fresh Ahi tuna was a bit drowned in mayo. I could sort of taste the freshness and subtle flavor but it was a shame to drown it in ingredients that should be carefully measured. The service was amazing! The drone of military jets was unexpected and startling.

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)
