I always forget just how lucky I am living near San Francisco and the amazing, diverse cuisine. While visiting P.V. as most of Mexico or the world, it is not always easy to find local quality. When my wife and I found J.J.'s my heart warmed with every drink and dish, service with an honest and pleasant smile. If you read Stephanie's (SF)review, I'd be the husband, she sounds more like Joe's wife the way she pumped up the place, but every word is true.

The place is laid back with great character and the food... truly, truly amazing.

Cheers to Joe !!!!

My husband (a chef) and I hid from the rain in Joe Jack's and had an amazing dinner, and the next day ran back for a pre-flight lunch before heading back to San Francisco! Joe has brought the charm, fun, sophisticated yet down home good food that he's perfected at Luna Park in San Francisco straight down to Puerto Vallarta. The ceviche sampler plate was the best in PV (or anywhere else in the world that we've had!), the grilled prawn nicoise was a perfect lunch (with delish, beautifully chosen lettuce, tomatoes, baby red potatoes, delicately spiced dressing).
The fish tacos- sublime. And the bbq'd chicken (reminiscent of Luna's dish) was so good, I'm craving it now as I write. The bartender does not skimp on beautiful, fresh ingredients for the fruity sangria or ginger mojitos or crazy-good Mexitos (mojitos with tequila- yeeeha!). And don't think you're too full for the dessert- the espresso gratina with the freshest perfectly sweetened cream topped it all off incredibly, and was so refreshing before heading back out into the hot, humid PV night... Seems like whatever "kinks" were there from year one are long-gone- this place would be a hit in any big city anywhere in the world! And we were pleasantly surprised when we got the bill- about the equivalent of $45 for a full meal with appetizers, drinks&dessert!
