While walking by we decided to give Joe Jacks a try. It's a narrow place and has a second floor for dining as well as the first. It was late and there was only one other couple in there eating. My wife and I both ordered the Baha fish tacos, grilled, and some guacamole. The tacos were pretty big and... More

It's hard to believe such "great" food comes out of such a small kitchen.The roof is the place to be served. All the fish is sooooo.... taste and the sides are better than fresh. The waiters are very friendly and so efficient.It is just a super place for lunch or dinner.We are in PV several weeks during the high season... More

Once again it was nice to go back to Joe Jack's for fish & chips. we were a little disappointed in not getting hand cut chips, but after talking to the owner, we could appreciate the rational behind the switch. Of course, it takes a couple of minutes to realize that all the staff are named Joe except for the... More

We ate here twice on our last trip to PV. You absolutely have to order the guacamole, it's to die for. We got the red snapper twice, if you like spicy food it's definitely the way to go. Their ginger mojito is perfectly refreshing, not too sweet and 2 for 1 on happy hour!

One of the absolute best restaurants in the old town area of Puerto Vallarta!. The happy hour Mojitos and menu are to die for! The food is always cooked to perfection and the management is so friendly and accomodating. A great place! The roof top dining is wonderful!

I always have to swing by Joe Jacks every vacation to get the Fish & Chips or Shrimp & Chips. Friday is all you can eat Fish & Chips for around $170 pesos I believe. Outstanding service and atmosphere!!

The grilled fish sandwich at Joe Jacks is the best available for a terrific lunch on the upper patio. We also had the best grilled sea bass with puttanesca sauce one evening as the special. Don't miss this place! Jeff

You can always count on a rally good meal at a very good price. They added a hamburger to the menu since I was there last, so my partner and I ordered one and a fish and chips, shared and had our own version of Surf & Turf. Excellent! Great decor and rooftop/outdoor dining, and top notch service. It looks... More
