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

We stopped for lunch at Joe Jack's and had the whole Red Snapper and the Fish Taco's. The fish was extremely fresh and was cooked and seasoned perfectly. They were both delicious and well worthy stopping for. The wait staff was excellent and the price was very reasonable, will certainly stop here on our next trip.

Joe Jack's is the one restaurant that we eat at every time we're in PV. The food is good, the ambience on the upper level is very good, the atmosphere is festive, and the wait staff is mostly sexy (my wife likes the males, and I, curiously, prefer the females). I wouldn't say that the food is fabulous, but it... More

We each ordered fish tacos. Fried for me, not fried for her. We then shared, and while they were both great, we agreed that the fried was better (what!! Fried is better???) Great little place and all the food we saw on other tables looked really good too

I just love joe Jack's and go a few times each visit. The fish and chips are very good, but so is the beet salad and everything else. I love the blood Mary's. You can always depend on good food at Jo Jack's.

This was my second vacation in Puerto Vallarta, and Joe Jack's was even better this time. Super service, consistently great food (fresh, fresh) and a great, fast bar! Good value as well for the quality of everything. Great location!

Friday night is all you can eat fish and chips! And the prices are not too bad. Service can be a little slow but the place is always busy.

fish and chips 150 pesos and if you want three spoonfuls of crappy cole slaw 30 pesos more!!?? a can of soda 30 pesos...really?? If you are looking for very little ambiance, cheap and uncomfortable chairs, completely ordinary yet overpriced food and lackluster service then this is your place. As a local I can think of at least 5 places... More
