What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Jekus receives praise for its cozy pub-like atmosphere and standout dishes, particularly the fresh king crab and local oysters. While many commend the friendly service and good value, some diners have noted issues with specific dishes like the 'pampas' being dry, and one reviewer had a negative experience with a poorly made cocktail and slow, expensive service.
"Absolutely delicious dishes to share, pumpkin soup, and Austral beer. Great service, w some English understood. Very quaint decor. Highly recommend."
Joel Minster
"We had a salmon and octopus ceviche, and pampas for sharing. Both dishes were very big and more than enough food for two people.
The ceviche was very tasty, well seasoned and fresh. The pampas, however, were a bit dry and the fries were pre-cooked.
Overall I recommend the restaurant, as some of the other plates looked very good, just maybe not order the pampas."
