    Very good chips and hot sauce.  Hot sauce about a 6 on the heat meter today.
    Randy D.

    My first time at the restaurant, was steered here by Yelp reviews and a conversation I had with someone at another restaurant. Located on "restaurant row" so there is seating along the street, grab a table on the street, and enjoy the sights as people walk by. Chips and hot sauce were served shortly after I sat down. Chips were very good, hot sauce even better (about 6 on the heat meter, not even close to the "reminder" end of the scale). Didn't order guacamole, but some was brought out. Had no problem finishing it off as it was very good. The exact dish I wanted was not listed on the menu, so I asked the waiter for exactly what I wanted. He did not hesitate, just told me, no problem. Camarones ala plancha con ajo y mantequilla, it is! The shrimp turned out almost perfect, have to give the dish a 9+. A bit more char/grill marks on the shrimp, would've been a 10. Towards the end of the meal the waiter came by to ask how my meal was, at that point I found out, he is the owner, Dopi. Very nice guy! Look forward to going back to try the beef they are known for. The shrimp dish was roughly $11.50 US, which included everything that came before the meal. Great experience, would recommend to anyone.

    Visiting Isla Mujeres for vacation and decided to come here based on good TripAdvisor reviews. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT! Raul was our server and he exceeded every expectation one would have when going out to eat. He was extremely attentive and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about the menu when it came to the ingredients in the food and drinks as well as how everything was prepared. Our server Raul was also VERY proud of the menu. And rightly so. The food was INCREDIBLE! Every dish we ordered came out timely, fresh, hot, and delicious! Would recomend this place to anyone and everyone visiting the island!

    Went twice in 1 day food was so good! Everything we had was amazing. Shrimp, lobster, and filet quesadillas were all amazing. Snapper tacos great as well!! Grass fed filet was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.

    This place is incredible if you're visiting the island. We had my girlfriends parents anniversary dinner here and it was amazing. Raul and Dopi tended to us personally. The seafood was incredible. Personally I had the paella and a lobster quesadilla. Other dishes our party ate were the steaks which were hands down some of the best steaks we've ever had. Dopi's family are 4th generation beef farmers and everything is organic and sure to leave you drooling for more. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

    Lobster tacos and margaritas! Can't go wrong!!! 180 pesos. Great service. Funny bathroom though, pee somewhere else.

    This was the best meal we had on the island. The steak was unbelievably tender and was one of the best ones I had ever had. Dopi was a gracious host that sat down and told us about his family's ranch where all the cattle is grown. The jalapeño cream sauce for the shrimp was to die for. This restaurant is going into the permanent Isla Mujeres rotation.

    Great service and food! If you're looking for a variety of food that's really good with awesome service come here! Waiter Luis was the best we have ever had serve us! Can't say enough good things about this place. Great location as well.

    Outside of the restaurant!

    Great food and even better service. The owner was our server and treated us very well. He even let us try his new flavors of margaritas that were not even on the menu for free! We had the steak burritos, steak quesadilla, margaritas, and red snapper veracruz fish. ;) Enjoy!

    Red Snapper a la Veracruzana

    The seafood is so delicious, the drinks are cold, the limes are the best everrrrrand the restaurant is decorated great! The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is because the service was very slow but once our waiter came along he was so nice and very attentive afterwards.

She was walking us a little towards the back, but since it was my first time to Isla, I wanted to people-watch, so I asked about a table up front. As soon as we headed over, I saw why she passed it - it was right next to the saxophone player! Thank goodness his volume level was perfect! Just loud enough to be heard over the crowds walking down the 'lane' out front and the restaurant diners' chatting. But not so loud that we 3 couldn't chat. We loved it! Now these two can EAT - and love to try everything on the menu, whereas I tend to eat smaller portions. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic - huge pieces of shrimp, so good! The lobster mac n cheese is so good, I would have loved to bring a big container of it home with me! The restaurant is very busy but very clean and tables are well organized for maneuvering a quick trip to the restroom before leaving. Our server, Maylen was attentive and pleasant. The bar area, facing the street, looked like a lot of fun, I'll have to try it next time!

And the saxophone player walked up to them played for them. That looked pretty nice. We sat next to the bar and there were some obnoxious gringos at the bar while we were there... which is common on the north side of the island.

    Great food and atmosphere, worth a reservation! We heard…read moregreat things about Javi's so we made a reservation, and we're glad we did. It's a small, intimate spot so I'd definitely recommend booking ahead. We weren't very hungry, so my husband and I shared a few items: the homemade chips with guacamole and the lobster bites. One cool feature is that they let you choose how much lobster you want. Every dish was seasoned to perfection and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we shared both the flan and the brownie. The flan was creamy and rich, but the brownie was a bit burnt. Still, it was tasty enough that we didn't leave a bite behind. Overall, a great dining experience. We'll definitely return the next time we're on the island

The only thing is the servers were nice but rarely came to check on us, and we had to flag them down for the bill. It was also a bit hard to hear with the music loud by the table. Otherwise, fantastic!

Water and ice was potable, for anyone worried about that. Also, the waiter saw we were struggling to order in Spanish so he told us, "I speak English, too. Don't worry." We had a big laugh about that The shrimp cocktail was incredible, as was the spinach artichoke dip. Plus, my little brother is super picky about textures, but there was zero chunks of anything in the dip, so he ate it with us. (It might not sound like a big deal, but it always makes my mom so happy when he tries something new, and not many places make puréed artichoke dip. The extra effort meant a lot to my mom and brother) He also doesn't like seafood (just as a preference) so he got a burger, and he RAVED about how good it was. The whole table went crazy for the homemade potato chips! Oh my word! Not too salty and not too bland. Would absolutely order again and then take another to go! The music wasn't too loud, and the sports bar entertained my stepdad while we had our Piña Coldas (which were also very good with Malibu). There was also big fans to cool us down on such a hot day!! I would 1000% go back there if getting to and from Isla Mujeres wasn't such a hassle Advice to anyone going here: stick to the seafood and hamburgers. I wouldn't recommend getting sushi anywhere that isn't an asian specialty restaurant Seafood is their specialty, and Snapper's does that WELL!
