Top choice in Isla Mujeres
More like a restaurant than a cantina, but Javi's does have happy hour and live music. The menu consists of seafood, choice beef cuts, chicken and various salad and veggie options. A house specialty is the fresh-caught parmesan-crusted fish fillet with tamarind sauce. Dine in the front room or sit back in the rear courtyard with a pleasant terrace.
