Don't let the name of this place throw you off. The food here is just so damn delicious. I highly recommend the whole snapper. They will debone it for you, and everything you get on your plate is mouthwatering. On top of that, the service is truly at a fine dining level. So attentive and kind. They had even folded my napkin when I came back from the restroom. Do not miss this place.

Joe Jack is one of the popular spot in Zona Romantica, serve really good seafood dishes in town, the best is their grill whole fish. the fish is grilled in their special sauce and topped with roasted garlic that added so much flavor to make your own taco. they offer to debone for you.

This was an absolute must from all the videos and reviews I've read about. Also Tim's of people recommended this spot for a meal. We stopped in for lunch which is when they opened up. There's the main dining area with the full bar as well as an upstairs patio as well. The place is well decorated with lunch plants and beautiful colored decors. When we arrived, it was just opening so there were only two other parties seated. By the time we ordered, it was more than half full. If you want seafood, well this was the place for it. Crudites was brought out with sprinkle of tajin and lemon for snacking. We started with a mimosas and a beer. Then with the shrimp tostada and mixed seafood cocktail. It'll was mini tostadas which also made it nice bite sized snack. The flavors were excellent and served on top a tostadas with lettuces and topped with a radish. Seafood cocktail, a good portion served with crackers and chips. The flavors all mixed together adding to the taste. So far so good with the starters. As for entrees, we had the fish and chips which was excellent as the fish was chunky and not full of batter. You actually get fish gets batter, that was served obviously with fries and tartar sauce. It was your traditional tater but quite good. And the piece de resistance, their famous whole snapper. That was served on with a garlic sauce and loads of cloves and some garnish. Accompanied by a side or rice, beans and tortillas. If you please, they can deboned the fish for you. It was excellent and worth it. Hence all the good mentioned of this place. By the time we finished, it was packed and with a waiting list outside. Definitely a must if you're looking for seafood. And best affordable.

Overall Rating: Round 4 Location: Zona Romantica few steps ahead of Panchos Tacos. Seating: Downstairs with bar, additional seating upstairs with balcony Vibe: Casual Seafood Felt like a tourist hotspot based on the crowd Service: Quick and Good, accepts credit cards Food: Everything tasted good, margarita was good. I could tell the flavors were westernized to some extent. Ordered guacamole, grilled fish tacos, bbq chicken and grilled fish. Fish was fresh and chicken was cooked perfectly. While everything was delicious and I have no complaints, there was not one thing that stood out exceptional and memorable. Definitely recommend this place if you are in Zona Romantica area.

Drinks and food were amazing!! Santiago was the bartender making our drinks and he was amazing! He had some drinks he had created himself that were very good. Victor was our server and he was wonderful- so funny and attentive! Food was great!!! Chicken on the Caesar salad was to die for. Tuna ceviche was delicious. Ambiance was great! It was very clean inside and decor was very nice.

We were lucky to sit upstairs on a perfect evening. The roof retracts, exposing the beautiful night sky. Because one of the spotlights shone in my dining partner's face, I sat to block it. That was a good move but every time I moved, he got a blast of glaring lights in his eyes. Turns out, I'm not excellent at sitting still. The service and food was good. I had tasty and generous garlic shrimp and green beans atop rice. I'd order that again. My spotlighted dining partner had a delicious, tender steak. My strawberry lemonade was a bit too much (think freckled lemonade from Chevy's or Red Robin in the states). As the ice melted, the drink improved. This was my ordering error--I like simple foods and drinks. My husband's margarita was wonderful, just like every margarita he's enjoyed in PV. While we had a good experience, I'm not sure we'll be back. The vibe felt off to me. They were great at turning tables (and they were busy) but it felt very mechanical to me. I like a slower experience for dining out. I can see why Yelpers rate this place with 5 stars, but it didn't feel like the other restaurants I've come to know and love in this beautiful city.
