A tie-dye margarita on the patio
The patio overlooks London Bridge, and the drink to order there is the restaurant’s famous tie-dye margarita. Reviewers also like the prickly pear and skinny margaritas, and the enchiladas come up often in reviews.
RV tip: weekday happy hour runs 3 to 6 pm with food and drink specials (dine-in only), which lines up nicely with an early evening walk across the bridge.

Why go
Mexican food with the best seat at the bridge
Javelina Cantina sits at the Island end of London Bridge, and its patio looks across the Bridgewater Channel to the bridge. It is part of Shugrue’s Restaurant and Brewery Group, which also runs Barley Brothers nearby.
Google rates it 4.3 from nearly 1,900 reviews, and Tripadvisor ranks it #6 of 151 restaurants in Lake Havasu City. Reviewers praise the friendly service, big portions and patio views; some recent reviews call the food bland.
For RVers it is about 5 minutes from Islander RV Resort and Red Rock Waterside on the Island, and London Bridge is right outside the door.

For RVers
Taking the rig to Javelina Cantina
The practical stuff we wished someone had told us before we pulled in.
Bring the tow vehicle
Tripadvisor lists on-site and street parking at 1420 McCulloch Blvd N, but no RV or trailer rules are posted, and the bridge area gets busy. Leave the rig at camp.
Or park free and walk over
The visitor bureau lists free parking at 422 English Village, on the mainland side. From there it is a short walk across London Bridge.
Ask about the dog
One listing describes Javelina Cantina as dog-friendly, but we found no official policy (a dog-friendly listing we found belongs to a different Javelina Cantina in Sedona). Call (928) 855-8226 before you bring a pet.
Time it for happy hour
Happy hour runs 3 to 6 pm Monday to Friday, dine-in only, with food and drink specials. Holidays are excluded.
