Javier's Diner

This rating was based on the Javiers burrito alone but sevice, smiles and promptnesxs boxes were all checked off!
They did my sausage breakfast burrito "Christmas style" smothered red and green chile, so life was pretty complete after this morning.
I also hope they enjoy a long life for representing Hispanic cultures through food and not let Tennyson Street glide into a cultureless vacuum independent of any connections to the people from Mexico and Spain that have been in Colorado a very long time. A burrito should be the state official cuisine.

Great service. Tasty food. The chips and salsa were top notch. Cool, laid back in this diner.

Never get all your order at once! Have been several times and they always bring the toast late or never!
Wait staff appears very nervous and I will leave it at that! Crazy running around, mumbling ! Rarely check on you and the breakfasts all taste the same and mostly vegetables greasy!
Not a fan!!!!

When we are in CO J&C is a must for us! And now our 8yr old makes sure we come here as well! The staff has always been friendly, the food is amazing! Our go-to is Javier's burrito but other items on the menu are also delicious. Menudo; tamales, tacos, etc.
We have been coming here for 18+yrs and as long as they are around we will be coming, even if we don't live in CO anymore.

We are 4 months new to Denver, we've explored a few restaurants in our area off of Tennyson in Berkley. We decided upon this place for breakfast and what a good choice that was! Upon approach, I was a bit hesitant as the menu pics in the window were a bit faded However......, the food was incredible! Everything was very tasty and flavorful, the chips and salsa was fantastic and our service was sooooo genuine, attentive and kind! The interior is authentic/ typical of what I would expect in Az- nothing fancy however, we are already planning a dinner here with incoming family next week.
If you want great tasting food, not expensive, kind people.... Make the choice to come here.

It has been a good 15 years since I've visited Javier's and it was called Javier and C back then. It has since been sold. I was open to revisiting it as my friend has wanted to try this place so it was a go.

From what I recollect, it was basic diner food and nothing knocked my socks off. The menu has changed significantly as it is primarily Mexican fare now. Mexican fare was offered before but I recall there being items like hamburgers available.

The setup is essentially the same. They serve liquor now and there are lights that flash under the bar area. The music playing was an eclectic mix of decades with some dance music thrown in. It was kind of funny considering the clientele. While we were there, a lot of the old neighborhood inhabitants popped in. They didn't really have any clientele that reflects what the neighborhood demographic has become. We actually liked that about this place. It is a relic from the past that has withstood the test of time, although I wonder how long they will be able to stay around as this is a prime piece of real estate with parking.

They serve the classic orange tinted green chile studded gravy served all around Colorado. My dining companion enjoyed his breakfast burrito very much. Uncharacteristically, I wasn't in the mood for Mexican so I opted for a simple BLT. It was certainly overpriced and kind of skimpy with two pieces of bacon but it was enough food for me. It essentially was a lettuce sandwich with a couple of slices of tomato. The fries were just frozen ones freshly fried back to life. Most of those were left abandoned on the plate. This was a very poor value and borderline insulting given the price.

Service was a little slow and scattered but there wasn't a whole lot of expectation there.

The food is fine but certainly I can easily do better at home, especially for the price. I could have gone to one of the new places on Tennyson and gotten a better sandwich within the same price range or maybe a little bit less expensive. And Tacos Jalisco is definitely better Mexican food just a little further east on 38th.

The description for the nachos stated that guacamole, sour cream and jalapeno peppers were included. They were not.

Don't let the outside fool you.
Great service. Food is fresh. Tamales are yummy! I'll be back for more! Try it!

We got takeout brunch from here a few weekends ago and it was DELICIOUS and the portions were HUGE! The service was also great as they labeled all of our food correctly (we have wheat allergies) and swiftly! This is a great place for a classic comforting brunch. We got the country fried steak (I'm from KY so I know good gravy) and the chilaquiles con huevos. Both were delicious!

This place is a gem. Breakfast is the sweet spot and everything is good. The green chili is the best.
