Stopped here for a snack on the way back north. Jerk chicken skewers with fries and pico de Gallo. Chicken was super tender and sauce was good. I've never had jerk spices in a wet sauce, always had been a dry rub more but this was pretty good. Pico was decent. Fun band playing Had a few beers and left. read more

I've gotta agree with all the other reviewers about the blended Mojito! They are heavenly and refreshing! I love how it's blended so you don't get mint chunks stuck in the straw or your mouth. We all know that feeling with a mojito. They're served in a massive margarita glass. Two of those and you will be feeling all the island vibes. They have live music and a very chill atmosphere. It's located on the south end of the island, so great to visit while taking a nice cruise. We also got mojitos to go for the road. The food was alright, not my fav on this trip. Our friends ordered the breakfast and let's just say, it serves its purpose. Nothing fancy & very comparable to a Denny's or IHOP. We ordered the guacamole which was a very tiny portion, the ceviche was a large portion and pretty tasty, and the shrimp tacos. We wanted to try the shrimp tacos after reading all the raving reviews. Honestly, I was underwhelmed with them. It was just a deep fried shrimp in Buffalo sauce on a flour tortilla. They served it with a really saucy coleslaw that was warm, so I didn't want to eat it bc coleslaw is meant to be cold. We'd go back for the mojitos and live music any day! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Phenomenal drinks and the ceviche was awesome. Have to try the salsa with it as well! Ambiance was fun. You have to experience when you visit Isla Mujeres. Service was slow but very polite! Will definitely visit again! read more

This place is a rip off and an example of cultural appropriation. I say this for three reasons: 1) Poor customer service: Me and my partner order two drinks and one fry and they tried to overcharge us and said our bill was 48 American dollars (what the heck!?) when it should have been 37 American dollars. When we brought this to their attention they were rude but acknowledged the error. When we provided the 100 dollar bill to pay for our services they refused to give us our exact change, claiming they only had 20's. We would have not mind if they were short on change but because they tried to trick us, plus their behavior was rude we were not in the mood to be played. They were not apologetic or accommodating, just rude and off putting. 2) Cultural Appropriation : Although we did not order from their full menu I'm skeptical of places that provide black Jamaican food but there are NONE of these people present. And the fact they claim to be Rasta and easy going but they were rude (took over 15 minutes to place our drink order) which caused me and my partner to order no more than drinks & fries. It just gave a vibe that they were imposing and not truly living up to or respecting the culture. 3) Food/drinks: Like I stated, we did not order from the full menu cause our drink experience was enough, but the margarita was decent and the fries were cool. You can get the same ( plus better ) at picus (an authentic Mexican restaurant that does not appropriate black Jamaican culture) for half the price though, so yea. Honestly skip this place. They're a cheap replication of Jamaican food and hospitality. Do better. read more

Beware. We arrived at Happy Hour to order the specials. When we received our bill we were charged full price. From the white guy with curly hair, the fat tall main singer with black hair with earrings ,and the servers all were in on it. They know how to try to scam tourists. They are vultures. We are staying across at the Savento Condos, this was a convenient place to eat but we won't be coming back. read more

CASH ONLY: As we were exploring Isla Mujeres we past a small looking tiki bar with live music. We decided to stop and check it out as it didn't look too touristy and we were quenching for a drink. We sat up at the bar, but they had plenty of outdoor seating too. We ordered 2 beers and a couple of apps including the plantains, calamari and coconut shrimp. The beer was cold and the live music was good. The coconut shrimp was the highlight of our food and the mango dipping sauce was tasty. The other apps we got were OK (basically just fried), but nothing to rave about. Overall, the atmosphere of The Joint was exactly what we were looking for and we had some great conversations there. The band also played some great music that everyone was singing along to. I would return if I was ever back on the island. TIP: We spoke to a lady who was the sales/marketing manager of the Joint and she let us know that they are planning to build condos behind The Joint within the next year. The Joint wasn't on the beach, but it's definitely in walking distance. Could be a great little spot for anyone looking for a unique vacation home. read more

Very disappointed. They didnt want to honor the happy hour prices. Check your bill. I had to argue with them and they changed it. I dinned here more than once. Dont pay in cash, use pesos. I love the Mojitos thats about it. Worst customer service. read more

We went here after getting to the island. It was 7:55 pm. They are open until 9. We were told that the kitchen closes in 5 minutes and if we wanted food, we couldn't get anything fried. That was fine and we ordered quickly. The food/drinks were good. I was very disappointed that the prices on the ticket we were given were not the same as the prices listed on the menu. We had pesos but the total was over 300 pesos more than we should have been charged. I would suggest keeping an eye on the pricing. They are obviously not very honest in how they do business and try to take advantage of tourists. read more

This has to be one of my favorite spots on the island; located on the south end. They make a mean ass frozen mojito; it's a must try. I don't even like mojitos, but I'm addicted to theirs; I was getting at least 2 a day when we dropped by. Music here is jamming with live music all day and night. All the musicians we saw were pretty damn awesome. Even saw a dancing poodle on stage here one day; but that might have been the mojitos. The atmosphere and crowd are very laid back. You can come as you are and as you want to be without worrying. Food here is pretty good; nothing spectacular on the menu, but they do have great tacos. Service is very friendly here, but the bartenders can be pretty slow getting your order and then making it. Make sure you order another cocktail when you are about 1/2 way finished with your first. I am very happy we discovered The Joint on our last trip when we rolled on in. read more

What a fun place!!! There is always live music. It's very jungly and buggy so wear big spray. There's not much breeze though. Everyone except me got the burrito with the French fries in it. I enjoyed the fajitas arrachera a lot. Hubby hated the habanero tequila shot so I kept it easy with beer and mezcal. The food was good and it was well-priced. The service was just OK but it was fine. A fun afternoon. I will definitely return. read more

The Joint is one of our favorite places on the island. The service is friendly, the live music is great, the vibes are chill, and the food and drinks are awesome. Bob's burrito and the chicken fajitas were our favorites but everything we tried was great. And the drinks are huge! read more

The Joint was a very unique experience that I encourage you to stop at while your on the Island. The frozen mojito like everyone else has said is amazing. We started off with two habanero tequila shots, frozen mojito and fish tacos. The live band played while we saw an iguana and green snake hang out nearby on the patio. The staff was very friendly and a great visit, they only take cash so be prepared. read more

Amazing food, drinks, and experience. On my recent trip to Cancun, I took a day trip over to Isla Mujeres. While cruising around the island in a golf cart, I drove by this place. It was packed, and looked very cool. I had to stop. Atmosphere The atmosphere of this place is worth it alone. It's all outside, set on a hillside, so there are a few different levels. There's a huge thatched roof/pavilion, so you can sit in the shade. Our table was under a large tree, so we had shade as well. It's a reggae bar, so naturally, there's reggae music playing, and everything is brightly colored. Food & Drink I had a chicken quesadilla, and I'm pretty sure it's the best one I've ever had. After 5 days of eating resort food, it felt and tasted so good to get REAL food in me. They also have an extensive list of drinks. I had a pina colada, and again, after 5 days of drinking complete sugar (something resorts call a pina colada), it was very refreshing to get a drink that was not only strong, but delicious and light. Their exchange rate is 10 pesos = 1 US dollar (real time exchange rate when I went was 15 pesos=1 US dollar), so it would be smart to pay in pesos and not US. This place is the definition of a tropical island bar/restaurant. We stopped at a few other bars throughout Isla Mujeres, and this one was by far, our favorite. If I come back to Isla Mujeres, I will come back here. read more

Small cozy place to grab a drink. Music is awesome make sure to say hi to Marley. Coolest dog ever. Also how come "Dave" has his own seat at the bar? I want one !! read more

Still one of my favorite spots on the island even though it smells like poop over there. LOL. Great frozen mojitos. Food is not bad either. read more

I love this place. This is the only spot that we made an effort to visit more than once. The outdoor setting sets the perfect vibe for this chill bar- not to mention the view across the street cannot be beat. The service was really friendly, and quickly made us all feel at home. Oh, and did I mention lots of live music?? Yeah. This place is great. read more

This is a perfect little stop on the Southern end of the Isla. Especially if you just hiked Punta Sur. The view from the seating are over looking the water from atop the hill is the perfect setting. They also have fabulous drinks, I usually don't go for sweet or fruity, but the coconut mojito is FANTASTICAL! I didn't have a chance to eat there but people around us looked thoroughly pleased. read more

Really cool lunch spot. Went here after passing by when we were touring the island because of the live music they had. There's a little bit of a view of the ocean which is nice and it offers a very fun, laid back atmosphere. The service was great. We got a couple waters- they serve them in bottles here and are a little overpriced but it was convenient. I had the famous frozen mojito which was a very large glass and lived up to its hype. We tried the coconut shrimp which was really great and came with a good mango sauce. For my entrée I had the fish tacos and my boyfriend had the Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich with French fries. The fish tacos came with 3 tacos, pico de gallo, and guac - they were good but nothing mind blowing. My boyfriend liked his chicken sandwich. They realllyyyyy screw you over on the conversion rate to pesos- something like 14 persos to the dollar when it should be more like 18/19 so definitely pay in pesos. We paid half dollars half pesos and ended up spending $50 for two lunch entrees, a drink, and an appetizer which is pricey for me and I live in New York City lol. Parking was tougher for our golf cart, its extremely limited, we had to block in someones driveway which was a little inconvenient but luckily they weren't home. The best part of this place is the atmosphere, live music, and drinks, definitely worth stopping by for the experience. read more

What a joint! Great little hold out away from much of the tourism on the other side of the island. Live music pretty much constantly, and some well priced big portions of food and drink! I know it's mexico, but you won't regret getting their famous wings! They were some of the best things I had on this trip. Say hello to the friendly dog that's always cruising through for snacks. Roll (one) up and sit back baby read more

This place was legit. Very laid back. Very friendly staff. The host even gave us a list of places on Isla Mujeres that we may want to check out. The food and drinks were all amazing. I will definitely be coming back here the next time I am in Cancun. My only regret was not visiting Isla Mujeres and The Joint sooner on our vacation. I love that they had live music and you get to sit outside in the shade. Perfect spot to check out! read more

I really do enjoy going here but yesterday I thought I was in a holiday inn in cleveland... the music was not the normal genre which was a dissapointment, more like a lounge act.. The guys in the band sing a lot better than the gringo with the guitar. The other band members sing in the Hidalgo location. I will try again, but hope they stick to the genre read more

This place rips you off!!! They dont tell you its 15 pesos not 20 per dollar. CASH ONLY. they have 1 sign posted hiding behind bar. When I asked the waiter about my change he smirked and laughed while we left. They make their $$ by tricking tourists. NOT WORTH IT. DONT COME HERE. PLENTY OF PLACES TAKE DEBIT OR CREDIT AND DONT HAVE A BULLSHIT CONVERSION RATE THEY KEEP SECRET. read more

Another favorite spot on the island. Lost of great food choices on the menu. Frozen mojitos are a must. The staff is super friendly.

Drink specials were good - service was good - relaxing atmosphere with good live music - yeah Isla!

Awesome place, recommended by a friend. The margaritas were superb. I had the fish tacos, top 5 I've ever had. They also had a band playing the blues. The joint has a great vibe, would recommend to everyone. read more

Come early! We tried stopping in twice (after 5p) before finally making it here for lunch. We ordered the jerk chicken skewers, sombrero salad, fried plantains. We did the 4 Sols and Guac for 100 pesos. The service was slow (even for the island). It's also cash only and if paying USD conversion of 10/1 (vs 15/1). My favorite part was the live reggae music. They made the outdoor ambiance much more pleasant. The blended mojito drinks were also to die for. This restaurant is a nice place to stop in for lunch, mojitos, and live music. The food was a little pricey and the services slow (there was only one waiter and bus boy servicing 20 tables) but the ambiance was great. read more

I loved this place! Live Reggae band and excellent service. The drinks were delicious as the food was excellent. My server was very nice to look at his name is Jesus and we kept him on his toes. It was loads of fun. Come visit this spot while in Isla Mujeres. read more

Went to Cancun on business, side tripped to Isla Mujeres, stopped into this spot when we heard the music. What a welcoming and genuine crew!!

Thank you for being so great!!! read more

The Joint - 2 mojitos and 1 mango margarita - Bars Near Me - Isla Mujeres, ROO

Decent vibe until the overwhelming stench of sewage punches you in the face. Wouldn't be too bad if the food didn't take 50 minutes for one plate of tacos, or the "owner" didn't come waddling up to the table, grab all your stuff and move it. Not ask, just grab your stuff and start moving it. Still don't know who it was, but clearly felt free to be rude beyond any norm. View is limited, smell unbearable, food slow, moderately priced, staff friendly, owner a ball of bitterness. Pretty bizarre. You get the review you earn. read more

We've been to the joint 3 times over several trips to isla and had decent experiences the first two. Actually the first time we got shrimp tacos they were great so we ordered them togo our last day as we were staying across the street and wanted to eat on our deck. They were absolutely the WORST tacos I have ever had ... every one was burnt to a crisp and the little shrivel of shrimp left inside was like rubber. Don't order take out and if you do you better check inside the box a quick glance would have been enough. As others mention, they will rip you off if you don't have pesos, food takes a very long time to come out which was baffling because it was both burnt and on the cold side and the server was rude on both occasions we went there. We won't ever be going back so many wonderful places on isla no need to waist time here. read more

Found this spot while touring the island via golf cart. Hands down my favorite place to eat, drink, and relax on the island. Right off the main drag. There was a really excellent live band playing reggae and old calypso hits. We weren't all that hungry so we decided to split some nachos. They were so large we couldn't finish them. Crispy chips, pico de gallo, blended black beans, and melted manchego. They were giant and really really good. I especially liked the black beans on them. The place was pretty packed. Lots of tourists in green since it was St. Patrick's Day. Our hotel was on the other end of the island near the town square but I would certainly hail a cab or rent a golf cart again and stop in and probably will since we have another week on Isla. The view was also stunning. Garaffon with Cancún in the background. I highly (see what I did there??) recommend this place to anyone who is looking for that laid back island vibe. read more

Loved the live music at the place. Vibe is excellent and margaritas are nice and strong! Marley the pup is worth the visit alone!

We stayed on Isla Mujeres for 7 days. I was so sad to come across this place so late in our trip. Absolutely live the vibe! Live band, good food. Only gave 4 stars because I ordered a mixed drink and it tasted like straight syrup. So stick to beer & frozen habanero tequila shots! read more
