O.C. Airport Debuts Mexican Treat

It's been a popular Orange County restaurant since opening in Newport Beach in 1995. Now, Javier's Cantina & Grill  has brought a new concept restaurant to John Wayne Airport.

Fresh taquitos, quesadillas, handmade salsa and seafood dishes are just a few of the favorites JWA passengers can feast on at the new Javi's Restaurant.  Located in the Terminal C Marketplace area, Javi's joins Javier's franchise locations in Newport Beach, the Irvine Spectrum and Los Cabos, Mexico.

"This is a great addition to the many new offerings for dining at the airport," Alan L. Murphy, airport director, said in a released statement. "Javi's will be conveniently located near Terminal C's international gates, which will serve as the gateway from Orange County to Mexico beginning this June with Southwest's nonstop flights to Cabo San Lucas and Mexico City.

Javi's features a Baja-resort themed décor and a "tequila tree" featuring a display of 25 premium tequilas. Javier's menu items are made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including handmade salsa and tortillas from local vendors, according to the restaurant.
