Now that they have changed to Javier's Sabor Mexicano this place is truly amazing!!

From the moment you walk in you are transported into the best Mexican restaurant in the north suburbs....The music is great and the margaritas at the bar are to die for. Our waiter was friendly and recommended we start with the authentic Nachos....YUM truly amazing flavorful dish....I has the fajitas and there was so much food that I took some home with me for lunch the next day...the flavors remind me of my vacations to Mexico!!

Thank you Javier?s for a super experience I am coming back for Cinco De Mayo

• Pros: Margarittas, Food, Atmosphre Service, Ambiance
• Cons: Nothing

Best Mexican restaurant and customer service

I love La Chicanita and it's the best mexican restaurant in Downtown Arlington Heights. When my family comes in from out of town, they always want to go there. They also have great customer service!

• Pros: Great place
• Cons: I have no complaints

Smells like a dirty mop!

by MrsJuanGabriel at Citysearch

I used to go here while studying at the library, but things have really changed. I took a friend there last month & it smelled awful inside. When you walk in a mexican restaurant, there should be the aroma of delicious food cooking in the kitchen...not like they just mopped the floor with a dirty mop! Apparently, the chips & salsa were sitting on the table for long time before we got there cos the salsa was room temp. All the tables already have the chips & salsa on them, that's not very sanitary! We ordered our drinks & they tasted like virgin strawberry daquiris, not strawberry margaritas made w/tequila. For almost $7, I'd like my drink to at least taste like they put SOME alcohol in it! We ended up leaving after one sip cos we were getting sick from the dirty mop aroma. And what's up with the booths? The seats are so narrow, even my friend's size 2 butt kept slipping forward. And the tables are so low. Maybe they are trying to appeal to a younger crowd with the virgin drinks & kiddie tables. With so many other mexican restaurants in the area, La Chicanita, you guys need to step your game up & get it together!

• Pros: I love downtown Arlington Heights
• Cons: Everything...can't get past the dirty aroma!!!
