Javelina Cantina

I know this place has some good reviews, but we came tonight on a Sunday at five. Service was great. The Verde green sauce for enchiladas had no flavor and the chicken was so burnt it actually tasted like bacon someone in our group had a ground beef burrito. There was no cheese so they brought cold shredded cheese. nobody finished their food. The couple as we were walking in. I asked how their food was. They said the steak for the fajitas was really tough. I’m a Minnesota girl and really don’t necessarily like space but nothing really had any flavor and I don’t have Covid. We were all kind of disappointed. Service was great though.

Javelina Cantina in Lake Havasu City is an absolute standout and a must-visit if you love authentic Sonoran-style Mexican food. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The beef tacos were perfectly seasoned and tender, the tamales were rich and comforting, and the skinny margarita was refreshing and well-balanced—dangerously easy to drink in the best way. That said, my favorite surprise was the chips and salsa. Seriously outstanding. The chips were perfectly crisp, and the salsa had that bold, fresh flavor that keeps you reaching for “just one more.” The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, the food feels genuinely authentic, and the overall experience was fantastic from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Javelina Cantina to anyone visiting or living i

We sat in the bar area.We shared a beef, shrimp, and chicken fajitas. The beef was gristly and dry. the chicken partially dry Waitress was nice but forgot some of our order

Beautiful outdoor seating (dog friendly) overlooking the London Bridge and the channel. Perfect location. We had a taco salad, and a side salad with chicken, and one beer. All were delicious! Service was great! Prices were very fair. Overall impression was a 10+

There’s a short list of things I miss about living in Havasu, and Javelina Cantina is at the top of that list. I was in town for the first time in 8 years and of course had to get my steak fajitas. A lot has changed in town, fortunately the fajitas aren’t one of them. Amazing as always.
