RJ's — Restaurant in Útila

Really busy place open 3 days per week since they only get enough meat and fish to supply for 3 days. Come early to order as the line takes a long time to move when more people show up. Limited seating, so snag a table early if you have a group as well.

The staff are really nice and the cook is cool, he'll toss the meat back on the grill for you if you want it more cooked. I tried kingfish for the first time on my first visit and it was alright, a bit dry for me. But I'm also not generally a fan of the taste of grilled food, so I didn't like the char on it.

The side dishes that come with it were the best part I think! You can order just the side dishes for about L100 I heard, so I might do that next time. I loved the mash potatoes! I could get a giant plate of just those potatoes and maybe the corn...

RJ's is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. They serve typical local food, the kind of authentic island meals you want to try when visiting. The menu has a great variety, from fresh fish and seafood to steak, including high-quality cuts, all at really decent prices. Portions are generous, with plenty of sides and different size options to choose from. The service is fast, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy true island flavors without overpaying, RJ's is definitely...

OUTSTANDING!! The King Fish was superb! Sides: garden salad, garlic bread, potatoes, rice & beets! (I declined the bread & salad) everything was cooked to perfection, tasty & so much food! (Yay for lunch lol) The servers were amazing considering how busy they were, always smiling and happy! The atmosphere was lovely, upbeat, families, young, seniors & lots of little ones. If you haven't been, it is definitely worth going!! Oh, thee best coconut cake I've ever had!!!! Keep up the awesome...
