Felicia Z.April 14, 2013This place does everything right - location, vibe, service, and food & drinks. Whole fish is spectacular (must have), also loved the octopus ceviche and fish tacos. And the mojitos...Upvoted Feb 2
Daniel AMarch 31, 2019My top pick in Zona Romantica. Great ceviche and even better Calamari a la Plancha. We had other dishes & u can’t go wrong. Try the margarita & Fortuna Cañita Lager craft beer. Thank me later 😉
Andrea MauranoJuly 31, 2013The fish is fantastic. Try the ceviche and the shrimp bucket feel like straight out from the sea. Go for the daily catch it is surely going to be superb. Fantastic service....just go!
Michael WynnJanuary 27, 2018Baka Grilled shrimp tacos are deadly good and the gauc was top notch. Ask for a side of their green hot sauce if you’re a fire eater.
Todd HeughensFebruary 14, 2022Best seafood in La Zona. Garlic shrimp is good. Fish tacos are good. Whole red snapper is a religious experience! Delicious! Staff is fantastic; so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Go go go!
Clau🌷May 18, 2015Classic Ceviche and Shrimp Tacos are just YUMMY. Try the Strawberry Mojito. Gusta is a great waiter! We'll come back!
KateJuly 16, 2012Everything was delicious. From the Mai Thai to the salads to the main dishes (definitely get the appetizer with shrimp and/or the dish with shrimp as a main meal). Waitstaff was very accommodating.
Get the Nicoise Salad + Dorado (Mahi Mahi) ...best lunch in PV! But don’t tell too many friends, we don’t want it to get too crowded ;)
Karl WardenFebruary 20, 2022The whole fish is astounding. Ceviche is amazing. Guac is great. Ate here twice while in PV for 5 nights.
Killer American style seafood. Joe Jack's is definitely the hippest restaurant in Old Town. Great ambiance and 2X1 giant mojitos during the day. Great spot for a date.- Madai LamaJuly 30, 2013LOVELY place! Wonderful mexican vintage design, delicious food and great prices! ❗50% off with your 4sq check in❗Highly recommended!
The shrimp louie tostada is amazing. Ask for a little dish of habenero sauce and use very sparingly.
David OstrowFebruary 8, 2017Love the fried shrimp and many special seafood options. Always busy but always a great experience, esp on roof
Jeff SegalDecember 26, 2012They will make anything for you here. It hey took the sauce from the snapper which was chili's, lime and sautéed garlic! It's heaven on Christmas!!
Ok, Joe Jack's is known for it's awesome seafood and burgers, for me its all about the Nicoise salad with mahi mahi - always super fresh!- Jeff SegalDecember 23, 2012Have a margarita! Have any fish dish with the garlic chili lime. Yummy. It's a place to come many times on vacation in pv!!
I loved everything about my experience. The food. The atmosphere. The music. The menú. The service.
Nikalesh MastersJanuary 11, 2018Order the whole snapper, garlic shrimp & cod fritters... They are all amazing dishes.- Debra MontgomeryMarch 25, 2016Sea Bass Special, guacamole, fish tacos, mojitos and Mai tai are all awesome
Bang BrosFebruary 8, 2017I got the burger and it was fantastic. Great prices worth the extra dollar.
Best mojitos in the city. 2x1 all week from 12pm-4pm.
Christian RochaJuly 22, 2013This is a great place: service, location, and "feel" to it. The pepper sauce has a nice spicy flavor.
Valter FabianoJanuary 18, 2015This place has such an amazing food, drinks are fantastic too. Don't miss the Snapper!
Fraser KDecember 17, 2012Get the red snapper. Amazing. Also, wait the extra few min to eat on the upstairs patio.
Gabe BarrientosOctober 28, 2014Ceviche and mahi mahi were excellent! Great value. Nice breeze downstairs
Satisfy your craving for fish n chips here then stroll over to see our stylish models at V399...now that's a Crate idea!
I highly recommend the full red snapper! It is fantastico!
Robin WellingtonNovember 29, 2011Get the grilled snapper. Don't be a wuss - the head has the best meat.
Nathan DeneauFebruary 3, 2013Get a seat on the upstairs deck! The staff is awesome and the food is magnifico!
Great service. Excellent mojitos and they are 2 4 1 until 5pm. All food is excellent!
Catherine WeirFebruary 28, 2017Camarones aguachile, best ceviche in a longtime! Served in lime and chili juice with strips of fresh coconut and cilantro and tortilla chips and crudités. Loved the guava margarita too.
