Javier Bill's Almost Authentic Mexican Food — Restaurant in Saint Johnsbury

Alllll the stuff you want to be good at a casual restaurant is great here. Simple fresh tasty food. Reasonably priced, speedy, friendly, clean, easy. The oooonly tiny thing that bugs me... the payment system. I understand there is the newer trend of passing along the card processing fee to the customer in so many small retailer settings now, its fine. But this system doesn't tell you or show you the actual bottom line total BEFORE you sign and accept. Sure its only a penny or two on the dollar, but it's the principle of the thing to me. I add a tip and see a total and sign and agree to that... then boom it says Thanks! and its a new total with a fee added on. Maybe I'm a weirdo about this, but I feel it should be shown before you sign. I know I 've encountered other systems that very transparently states and shows you the updated total including the service charge even when adding a tip. If you can change that one dang thing- IMHO, Javier's...

My wife and I were in St. Johnsbury and decided to stop for lunch. We both got carnitas tacos, and they were the best tacos we've found since moving away from Texas. The tacos themselves were generously filled. I used to be able to put away four at the taquerias back in Texas when I was hungry, but here I was full after just two. The carnitas were rich and fatty without being greasy, with some nice browned bits mixed in. The tortillas tasted fresh, and both the green and spicy salsas were full of flavor. They had a good selection of Jarritos and beers, but unfortunately were out of michelada mix. We'll definitely be back next time...

Wife and I stopped in on a Tuesday night for a light meal on a whim. We were highly impressed with their open and honest, "almost authentic" chaim to their food. First this is the most authentic food we have had since attending a quincenita in Southern California. Their avocado crema is amazing and a must have. Their signature drinks are worth a try and definitely not watered down. Everything about this place makes you feel as if you are in a little café south of the border. If you are in the area and have not tried them.......
