Jesse's is a restaurant that tends to turn into an afternoon. There is a souvenir shop inside it and a small collection of animals that children find well before the food arrives. Jesse himself is usually somewhere in the room, and the decor is the kind people photograph before they order. Everything is cooked from scratch with a personal touch, which is why the fish tastes the way it does.

Local tips

Cash only, so visit a machine on the way rather than after. Meals are cooked with care and a personal touch, and there is plenty to do and look at while it's made.

What to order

The garlic butter fish and shrimp is the plate people return describing. Coconut shrimp with the dipping sauce, or the chile relleno for something off the water. Margaritas arrive with the tequila shot on the side, and Barrilito is the beer, in the sense that it is the only one.
