We had just come in from our road trip to stop for lunch here for the views. It was early June so the weather was pleasant enough outside to eat on the deck and we requested the best view of the London Bridge that we could get. The misters were off and on and that was nice. They had a fajitas special for Monday and we got 3 orders of that for a family of 4 which was more than enough, we probably could have just split 2. The only problem with eating outside during the day is we were swatting flies away from our meal. I hate that. If I had it to do over again (and if we weren't so hungry and would have had the time to wait), I would have asked to be seated once the inside seating by the windows was available. There were families seated inside next to the windows with views of the bridge. I'm sure once we sat down on the deck outside we blocked their perfect view but that seemed the best seat in the house to avoid the flies yet still be able to look at the bridge during your meal. Good meal with a great location.

We decided to visit Javelina Cantina based on the recommendation of a friend. We were not disappointed! There was no wait on an early Saturday evening despite Spring Break beginning in the area. Orders for drinks and food taken immediately. We both ordered chicken fajitas and the meals were delivered by the server in no time. The food was fantastic! The chicken had been marinated in a wonderful sauce. It was the best chicken fajitas I have ever had. We would definitely return over and over for this dish! Highly recommended.

We came here when we saw they had $1.50 tacos on Wednesday with a beverage purchase. We were greeted instantly by a friendly face and per our request seated on the patio overlooking the London Bridge. What a beautiful view. Our server Derek was perfection! Friendly and attentive, food came out lightening fast and Derek had some wonderful recommendations. Great experience in every way, thank you!

Even though we had to wait about 40 minutes for a table on a Sunday night-it was well worth the wait. Great service and my husband ordered some yummy beef fajitas. The combination plates were not listed on the abbreviated covid-19 times menu but when I mentioned that we had seen them listed on their previous menu (the one online)-the waitress told us, "no problem", we can make you what you want, and.....they did!
Everything we ate was great!
We will be back!

Ordered the super burrito with grill chicken it came with beans and rice sour cream, the chicken tasted great but the burrito was filled with rice and beans and More on the plate. I asked the waitress if the bean and rice were on the side, she said yes, So I was surprised to see more inside the burrito. The Burrito WAS dry dry ,dry no sauce inside or outside. For $17.00 being called a super burrito was an understatement. I will not be back!!

Very good place for dinner. Service was awesome and the food tasty. Awesome Flautas and if you're vegetarian, the Potato & Cheese Enchiladas are great. Be aware, portions are fairly large so definitely go hungry.
The ladies at the hostess stand were very friendly too and kudos to them for being so graceful managing all the annoying and entitled people not wanting to wear a mask or trying to get in the restaurant bar when the occupancy allowed by the social distancing measure are met.
It is unbelievable to sit there and watch how poorly people behave as if they are owed something...none the less, these ladies and the staff is graceful, courteous and get the job done!

We had a good late lunch that turned out to be our big meal for the day. Each entree was larger than we expected and very good. Half price appetizers on Thursday made it even better. We had shrimp quesidillas with a side add on of grilled shrimp they were excellent. The taco salad seemed expensive until it arrrived one of the largest i've seen.

We enjoyed the food here. They have a smaller menu during Covid but you can still order from the main menu. We ordered the create your own combinations. Burritos, tacos were huge and came with rice and beans. Order the 3 item and have enough to take home for lunch or dinner the next day if you have a refrigerator and microwave. Sit on the patio and enjoy the view and breeze. We saw a roadrunner from the patio.

A great restaurant and bar with a view to the channel and London Bridge in Lake Havasu. We love the view, the bacon poppers, shrimp cocktail, salsa and chips..... you really can’t go wrong.

You will not walk out of this place hungry. The service was excellent with friendly and attentive staff.
So why not 5 stars? The food lacks flavor. There was nothing special about it, wasn't bad, everything was cooked properly with quality ingredients.
I understand with the location they cater mostly to an older clientele with midwestern pallets so they have to bland the food down.
Go there for a nice atmosphere huge portions and a full bar. Don't expect bold flavors.

The setting is delightful while seated outside with a view of the London Bridge. The servers were wonderful. An unusual Lobster Fajita was brought to our table sizzling HOT! We gave it a very good rating but not excellent. We really didn't expect excellent lobster here in AZ but it was still enjoyable and a very large portion. The Chicken Fajita Salad WAS excellent and again a very generous portion. The house margarita was equally excellent! Highly recommend.

Sat here for a drink on a coolish afternoon. Nice atmosphere and view of London Bridge. Host tried to tell us there was a long wait for the patio. But when we sat down and saw empty tables, all we did was ask and the server moved us no problem. Good chips and yummy margaritas!

We had a reservation on the deck and when we arrived we were seated promptly and one of the buspersons brought over a deck heater. One server was working that corner of the deck and she was busy with two large groups and maybe (?) didn't see us. We waited about 15 minutes without any service, but another server saw what was happening and hurried over to take over our table. She was excellent. Our drinks arrived quickly as the sky was darkening which highlighted the lighting on the London Bridge. We had a great view. Food arrived in a timely manner, hot and very tasty. As the temperature dropped, the deck cleared out, making for a quiet, relaxing dinner and social time with friends.

Our hostess Jeaneen was the BEST. Our food was good, I was not impressed with my taco salad. The shredded beef seemed salty. Everyone else seemed to be happy with their meal. Maybe due to the hot temperatures I couldn't eat my meal. Also, asked if they had sangria, none was available due to no fresh fruit. Said they could make something without fruit ??? Kinda a big dissapoint.

We always eat here every trip to LHC. Enjoy sitting outside on the deck watching the boats go by. Good service, great food & drinks. You gotta watch out for the birds they will snag your food when not looking. Waitress was attentive & nachos where half off for happy hour.
