    This 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...

    My 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 😉

    The 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!

    Best 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!

    Baka 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.

    Everything 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.

    The shrimp louie tostada is amazing. Ask for a little dish of habenero sauce and use very sparingly.

    Camarones 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.
