Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was authentic, the drinks were incredible, and the atmosphere made the whole night unforgettable. Highly recommend Javi’s Cantina. <3 <3 <3

Very tasty, authentic food. Even the chips and salsa were the tastiest I had during my trip to Isla . The service was excellent and Javi’s musical entertainment was superb. He’s a great chef, musician and entertainer.

We had a part of 10 and the entire staff were amazing! Our food was delicious and served hot all at once. Our evening was especially enhanced when Javi showed up and started singing, he is awesome! Thanks for the wonderful evening!!!!

We found Javi's on our annual trip to the Island last year and knew then it would be a yearly visit! There were four of us and everyone's food was excellent but my shrimp cocktail and parmeason fish were mouthwateringly outstanding!Javi and his Dad played great classic rock that added a wonderful cap to the evening!See you next year Javi❤️Nancy, Bob, Kelley, and Rod

Exceptional fish. Top class quality. We'll be back

The food and atmosphere were a 20/10 epic experience, made extraordinaire by Javi playing and singing an array of sing a long favorites in Spanish, English and Spanglish. We had an absolute blast and will be back. This experience is not to be missed.

Went there 4/7/26. was seated in the courtyard. Had a wonderful dinner and Javi sang and played the guitar. Great evening in downtown Isla Mujeres. Javi is the owner/Chef. He has a great personality as well as his staff. The four of us had a great evening at Javi's.Dudley and Janet Medlock

best meal we had on island

2026-04-08T14:13:48.442Z

Javi’s is absolutely the best! Their Parmesan Fish (grouper) is the best fish I have ever eaten! We’ve been coming to the island for years and Javi’s is always the meal we look the most forward to. The music, the sweet lights of the courtyard- all of it is just awesome! Can’t wait to come back!

We had a fabulous dinner here. The food was fresh and delicious, the drinks were unique and tasty. The entertainment was fun!

2026-04-04T15:57:19.403Z

Delicious food, friendly hosts, well priced. Javi sang a mixture of toons, storyteller style which was wonderful.

2026-04-04T13:05:27.436Z

This was our first time going to Javis’s after visiting the island for years. The food was excellent, and the entertainment was great. The service was perfect and we will be back. It is quite small so I recommend reservations.

2026-03-28T00:47:28.384Z

This place is so delicious! We had the mole verde, arrachera, sublime chicken with peppers and bacon. Started with the best guacamole and chips maybe I’ve ever had, and really good shrimp ceviche served whole halved style lined with super thin cucumber. Really good father/son guitar duo. I would come back here though I only have two days here. 😎I was too hungry to take photos. Take that where you will.

My mother and I were excited to spend our very last night on isla at Javi’s for a seafood dinner. This was to celebrate my birthday, and was on a Thursday. We had called a week in advance to see if a reservation was necessary (they said no) and confirmed they open until 10:00pm on Thursdays.We arrived at 9:03pm & Javi’s outdoor lights and sign were lit up and said OPEN. When we walked in and asked for a table for 2, the employees jumped up from the bar and said “kitchen is closed!” We were disappointed and walked out to the sidewalk. All of a sudden the lights were immediately shut off! Very, very disappointed in Javi’s.

2026-03-27T15:31:10.226Z

We did a cooking class with Javi. It was a poblano pepper themed class. We made guacamole, pico de gallo, and chilis rellenos and had a poblano infused margarita. Javi was knowledgeable and fun and a great story teller. We will take the mole class next time we are on IM.

Did a tequila tasting here for a bachelorette and it was amazing!! Javi’s energy makes it such a fun experience!! He was very personable, friendly, and very well educated on tequila. Would 100% recommend to ANYONE

Javi’s is consistently great food, drinks and atmosphere! Last night was exceptionally special as not only did we enjoy a fantastic filet mignon meal paired with sensational grilled pineapple margaritas, entertainment was provided by a traditional Mexican dance group. The senorita’s dresses were beautiful. The performance was a surprise to us and made for a fantastic dinner experience.

2026-03-04T11:05:12.413Z

As always, everyone was super welcoming and gracious. The team takes pride in every detail. Everything is top notch!

2026-02-28T12:23:13.431Z

We had dinner and an authentic Mexican dance show with live music last night. The service and recipes were superb! The courtyard dining was all kinds of charming, and the prices were entirely reasonable. Best spot on the island for a slightly upscale but relaxing evening on the island that we've found so far. Javi has something truly special going on here. Reservations online are highly recommended.

What looked like a hole in the wall when we pulled up surprised us with a super cute courtyard and excellent Mexican food with live music! The lobster bites were to die for. There were 7 of us and everyone loved their meal. For a true Mexican experience I highly recommend this place.

2026-02-25T03:48:14.166Z

Not sure why this is such a highly rated restaurant. Food was average. Service wasn’t great and music was kind of strange. Won’t return

2026-02-20T20:39:18.362Z

We love Javi’s! The performances and food are wonderful. Sit in the courtyard. It’s so great we brought our friends back the next year.

Our server seemed occupied with other tables, we were told we got a free glass of wine for Valentine's Day but got charged for them. So we had to get those taken off. Our dirty martinis were sweet so they had to remake those and unfortunately the food was just ok. We've had way better food and service in years past.
