This was my favorite restaurant during our stay on Isla Mujeres. Ironically, we weren't even planning on dining here, but wound up at Javi's because our intended location was closed. However, that turned out to be completely fortuitous. Firstly, the cucumber and coconut margarita was the best cocktail I enjoyed in a week in Mexico. Secondly, my fish with white mole was outstanding. Finally, the staff is fantastic, and Javi is a wonderful entertainer and beyond hospitable. His beautiful guitar playing was a highlight of our stay. Even when the mood changed when a table full of rather loud Texans arrived and needed to make their presence known, Javi was utterly gracious and the consummate host. This is a terrific establishment and should be on anyone's list on Isla Mujeres.
