JAVI’S RESTAURANT OPENS IN JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT

SANTA ANA, Calif. – Long-time favorite dining destination for local and Orange County visitors, Javier’s, in partnership with HMSHost, has opened their new concept restaurant Javi’s at John Wayne Airport. Javi’s is located in the new Terminal C Marketplace area, adjacent to gates 13 and 14.

“We are pleased to announce the opening of Javi’s at John Wayne Airport,” said Airport Director Alan L. Murphy. “This is a great addition to the many new offerings for dining at the Airport.” 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 non-stop flights to Cabo San Lucas and Mexico City.
