Bland fish tacos and beans and salsa no respectable mexican would truly serve. If these are the best they can offer pretty sad. They bragged of their Margaritas...pretty mediocre since liquor is pretty inexpensive in Mexico how about a stiff drink? more

I went for the all-you-can eat Friday fish and chips with my dad and brother and we all thought the food was excellent. The fish was super fresh and succulent and the breading light, crispy and not at all greasy. The condiments and coleslaw were also very good. The sport's bar atmosphere is not really my cup of tea and... more

After all the reviews we thought we have to go. Food quality OK - not impressive. Designed for Gringos that cannot survive in a different culture. Better food at much less money can be purchased from the road side vendors. Drinks overpriced just capped off a dissapointing experience more

The place features an excellent, warm, and friendly staff...the best bartender, hands down in PV (love ya, Tony!)...top-notch food (try the mildly spicy seafood chowder or the generous buckets of super-fresh peel and eat shrimp, even the burger and fries when you start... more

Met some folks on the street, and we were discussing restaurants. They said that they just loved the Fish & Chips at Joe Jacks. I gave it a try and was not disappointing.-- Best I ever had too! more

The fried fish as some of the best I've ever had. Extra crispy crust along with fresh fish caught that day made this dish a winner. Tried the fried shrimp and they we just okay but not as good as the fish. Really good cole slaw too.They make their own balsamic vinegar, which did not have much flavor. The mojitos... more

After reading many positive reviews we were expecting a great experience. Instead, we has so-so margaritas to the sound of country western music played too loudly; so much for creating a nice dinner atmosphere for visitors on vacation in Mexico. No bread or chips with the meal. The food was okay but not worth raving about and what might have... more

Always busy, even in this economy. Great food and honest prices. I go back at least a couple of times each trip. Go early, it fills up. more
