Jax is set in a great location. Great place to have lunch or breafast while looking at the beach. But Service is super slow and the staff is clueless. More

This was a lively place at times. Good Breakfast & nice location to view the water & watch the action on the main street. Service was EXTREMELY slow. Plan to spend at least 1 hour to eat. More

Beer (5) in a bucket for 60 peso. Great patio and balcony across from Isla's beautiful north beach. Appetizers decent and well priced. We had fish and chicken fajitas which were quite delicious. Could be a far worse way to spend your lunch hour!!! More

This is a combined view, as we have eaten here many times over 10 years of vacations. I love sitting at the bar and having a bucket of beers all to myself. The view is wonderful, my husband enjoys having "the games" available to him. One of my favorite memories of Isla is a night spent upstairs drinking with my... More

Seems very popular with middle aged, sunburned gringos tying one on. All food was good and served HOT- Nachos and burgers were well above average. Service on both visits, however,... More
