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...
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!Upvoted Dec 31, 2024
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
David OstrowFebruary 8, 2017Love the fried shrimp and many special seafood options. Always busy but always a great experience, esp on roof

Valter FabianoJanuary 18, 2015This place has such an amazing food, drinks are fantastic too. Don't miss the Snapper!
The shrimp louie tostada is amazing. Ask for a little dish of habenero sauce and use very sparingly.- Debra MontgomeryMarch 25, 2016Sea Bass Special, guacamole, fish tacos, mojitos and Mai tai are all awesome
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!!
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 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!!
Best mojitos in the city. 2x1 all week from 12pm-4pm.
Bang BrosFebruary 8, 2017I got the burger and it was fantastic. Great prices worth the extra dollar.
Gabe BarrientosOctober 28, 2014Ceviche and mahi mahi were excellent! Great value. Nice breeze downstairs
Nikalesh MastersJanuary 11, 2018Order the whole snapper, garlic shrimp & cod fritters... They are all amazing dishes.
Christian RochaJuly 22, 2013This is a great place: service, location, and "feel" to it. The pepper sauce has a nice spicy flavor.
Satisfy your craving for fish n chips here then stroll over to see our stylish models at V399...now that's a Crate idea!
Fraser KDecember 17, 2012Get the red snapper. Amazing. Also, wait the extra few min to eat on the upstairs patio.
Nathan DeneauFebruary 3, 2013Get a seat on the upstairs deck! The staff is awesome and the food is magnifico!
I highly recommend the full red snapper! It is fantastico!

- 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.
Robin WellingtonNovember 29, 2011Get the grilled snapper. Don't be a wuss - the head has the best meat.
Great service. Excellent mojitos and they are 2 4 1 until 5pm. All food is excellent!
- happy hour on mojitos all afternoon...and they are the best in town.
