Everything we ordered tasted great! Chili soup, spicy prawn pasta, bolognese pasta, fries, mango smoothie, chocolate smoothie. Cesar salad was a so so though. Service was good too. Portion was huge so we asked for the fries to go and server too the initiative to asked if we like some ketchup to go as well seeing we have 2 kids with us. Little things like this makes me appreciate the attention in detail.
The food was really delicious. The mushroom fried rice was a hit surprisingly. The soup of the day was also nice. I enjoyed my taco chicken salad a lot because the chips were wholesome and the salad was refreshing. Overall a great place for family gatherings. Need to make a reservation or else be prepared for a long wait.

Full Rack of Ribs
The food is tasty here and the interior design is awesome. The price is okay. Definitely love the energetic vibes and recommend for a family/friend gathering. Also, there is a quiet beach near around the restaurant. Great location.
Good Joe’s nice Mexican style restaurant.
So glad to we order most of their dishes.
They are all really good. Yummy!
It’s so crowded.
Too popular at Kenting, most ppl would want to try when they come to visit.
Everyone enjoyed the food.
Love the avocado salad and chicken crepes with salsa. Seafood baked cover with cheese.

Very unpleasant experience in Taiwan.🙄
Food are very overpriced but also low quality. The rib was the worst rib I’ve ever had. It was dry and had less sauce, which made the rib even worse. So we asked for more sauce and the staff said NO without even asking to kitchen. Pasta sauce tastes worse than the one that supermarket sells. Zero coke tastes like non-sparkling black water, it has no sweetness nor sparkle. The worst parts were staff, they kept coming to us and taking the dishes back while we were still having the food. Which was very annoying because it felt like they wanted us to be hurry 🙄 Spent nearly 2000 dollars but the service is worse than fast food restaurant 🥵

Amazing place, beef risotto was awesome, pork ribs was good, pizzas were alright, place is beautiful, Mexican cocoa was nice, truffle soup was amazing, chicken on sticks was great.
They had a promotion on drinks, first drink at its original price and subsequent drinks are at half price. The drink that's charged original price will be the cheapest drink you had. Good move by the restaurant
Overall, a good place and I would definitely come again.
Delicious, good service with good price. 👍

玉米餅總匯大拼盤
This was a tasty spot recommended by a Taiwanese friend of mine. The clerks were very nice, and English was ok! 👌
I ordered the fried mozzarella and the bacon cheeseburger. Everything was fantastic! It was a lot of food, though... I couldn't finish all the fries (but they were delicious!).
There was already a special today for buy one get one free beer! I ordered Taiwan beer, and was surprised that it was the giant one! So... I also had two of those. 🍺🍺
I was very content, and adjust very, very full after lunch. I rolled back to my hotel to take a little nap. 🤣
