We could get enough of Jax......we went there every day we were on Isla. Great food and great beer specials....enough said! We pretty much ate everything on the menu (except breakfast) and we always left talking about how great it was. Note- the service is better down by the bar rather than upstairs. Also, there is a resident cat that... More

We stayed on Isla Mujeres for two full weeks. Some would think that was too long for such a small island. The restaurants are endless and we were amazed with the many excellent restaurants and ate at Jax's three times. It was across the street from the Privilege Aluxes hotel where we stayed so that made it easy. In the... More

Very nice establishment with very good service. Really cold beer at good prices, Texas oriented food and the menu looked delicious. However, Did not eat here so cannot comment on food.

We've eaten breakfast here plenty of times and always wanted to try dinner. We finally got to the other day...and it was awesome! 80 pesos for a bucket of beer, and I had the fish and chips(130) pesos. At 1st I thought it was a little pricey for Isla, but I was wrong. We usually eat at the local, cheaper... More

By our 5th night I was hungry for Texas food and JAX had just that - yummy chicken fried steak! It was great with ice cold beer and great music that we even danced to while waiting for our food!

Not sure why this restaurant is not a lot higher ranked. THE best fish tacos which were grouper and melted in your mouth. The view is outstanding as well. Can't wait to go back to the island so I can eat here again.

We always stop by Jax for fish tacos and bucket of corona, it has been two years since I was on Isla Mujeres, food and beer prices have gone up every where, local restaurant owners are making harder not to go all inclusive. Jax is worth stopping in , espn on tv, good food, cheapest corona on isla.

Jax Bar & Grill is a very friendly and fun place to go and eat American style food. They do have Mexican food choices too, but if you want meat, potatoes and gravy, you can find it on Jax's menu. The staff is also very friendly! They take good care of you. During our 8 day stay on the island... More

This place has the absolute best fish tacos in the world, but you had better be hungry! You will get 3 huge tacos overstuffed with crispy fish fillets and shredded cabbage, topped with a delicious secret sauce. You can easily share this with someone but why would you want to?
