Belen's - Oakdale

We stumbled upon this place on our way back from national park and were pleasently surprised. Loved the sports bar vibe and taste of food was spot on!! Lovedddd their beef fajitas and loved the fact that food came streaming HOT!! They have amazing cocktails which are great for price too. Also taste is very authentic with incredible service!!

This is a family owned and operated establishment with multiple locations. Javi's is our go to in Oakdale for Mexican food and drinks. The bar side of the restaurant is a fabulously decorated sports bar style with tvs in every direction serving up micheladas, mules, and of course margaritas. I like that they serve locally brewed beers that are American made and American owned. Some of our favorites here are the fajitas(many options to choose from), the street tacos, and the steak Ala Mexicana. The service here is always good, mostly because the restaurant is managed by a strapping young man who comes from a bloodline of restaurateurs. The restaurant side is decorated with aquariums and artwork. The complimentary chips, salsa, cabbage, and bean dip are tasty.

Overpriced and very small portions! We ordered two cheese enchilada dinners, chips and salsa to go and it was over $50. The food is mediocre at best. We haven't been to Javi's in probably 8-10 years because we weren't impressed, but thought we'd give it another try. Definitely won't be going back.

The food was very bland the portions were super small. The margaritas were poorly made although we were charged top dollar for them. $10 for a pint glass filled to the top with ice. Unfortunately the service was also lacking, we were never told about the drink specials for Wednesday which apparently were $4 margaritas, but not the one I ordered! (I heard the other server telling her table). Our server dropped our check off with the food which was strange since we weren't in any hurry. We never saw her after she dropped off our check another server cashed us out. There was only one other table in the dining area besides us, and just a few people in the bar, so no real reason not to give good service. Don't waste your time or money here, you can find better food service at Taco Bell.

Food was great, the restaurant staff was accommodating to our needs. We needed room for our son in a wheelchair and they moved tables and chairs around to make sure we fit comfortably. That means a lot to me when it comes to service. Would recommend Javi's to anyone who is going to be in Oakdale, Ca. We have been there a few times when we are ever in town (we are from Southern California).
