Second time here and again….everything from the greeting to the consume they serve to the goodbye was absolutely perfect. They treat you like theyve known you for years and the food is amazing. Being from a port…I grew up on seafood but it doest get any tastier that what you are.served at La Jaiba in MCALLEN! I abaolutely love the food. We’ve tried the caldo de jaiba, the pulpo al guajillo, tacos de pulpo, linguini de camarón… all delicious!

First time here, I gotta say the food was good, didn’t know all the variety of fish they had and for the price it was decent. A variety of alcohol as well, nto to bad, a little on the small size the restaurant in while but seems to fit a good amount of people and has an outside patio to eat as well. Our waitress Caori, was very helpful, would come again for an event with my family or work events. Edna the manager was also very helpful as well, much appreciated.

Today was my first time here. Amazing experience! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere was welcoming (like the abuelita effect) and the restaurant was clean. I highly recommend! 10/10

Best seafood I’ve had anywhere, period. Original recipes you’ll find nowhere else. The classic tacos are healthy and full of flavor, and the fish with “No-Name” sauce is spicy and leaves your mouth dancing. I have been coming here for 15 years, and have never once left unsatisfied.

Came for anniversary and the service, food,was great and up to par. I really enjoyed my seafood Enchiladas even if I’m not a fish kinda person, but this dish was wow, no fishy taste they are so good you must try them. My husband had the chicharon fish plate that was very good, too. We will return and I highly recommend this place if you have never been here. Their staff is very hospitable and explain the dish. You won’t regret it. At least, in my opinion, I’m sure you will have your own great experience here.
Ok, 1st time here and wow, it is amazing. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but I promise you will get your moneys worth. The hostess is very hospitable. Our waitress was super nice and very knowledgeable to the servings and prices and explained what came with what. All dishes ordered were to perfection and super delicious that I would come back again. Our portions were so good that I couldn’t finish my plate, nor did my sister couldn’t finish her soup de marisco. They give you a consume at the beginning with chips and salsa, so that was a treat. I was very happy here, guys, give it a try, you won’t regret it. Had the cilantro pasta with shrimp, large seafood soup, and a fish Po’Boy. Wow. Not bad about $75.00 total. You know seafood is expensive anywhere but was worth the serving and taste. Thank you, La Jaiba.

It had been at least 5 years since my last visit to La Jaiba and I was craving some good seafood so I looked up some reviews and I was led here by the 4.4 star avg. Maybe I just went on an “off day” but here’s my experience: We ordered the stuffed jalapenos and upon their arrival, it looked like I made a great choice. The first one I had was only filled about half way and I thought to myself, “maybe I just got a bad one.” After biting into the second one, it was literally hollow as you can see in my pics…. Maybe a name change from “stuffed” jalapenos to “hollow” jalapenos is in order. Anyhow, my waiter went ahead and replaced that jalapeno and it was alright. My mother ordered the Combo #2 (fish/shrimp) and it was alright as well. The tartar sauce on the other hand was horrible. It was so thick and hard to scoop up, almost like it had been left open over night. I don’t know, maybe I just like mine creamy and fresh. As for my Marisco soup (fish/shrimp), it was just alright, nothing special. I will definitely NOT be ordering any of those things again. I saw a couple of things on the menu that intrigued me so I will go back and give them another chance. I’ll post an update once I get a craving for seafood again. Like I said, maybe I just went on an “off day” because so many people like to eat at this restaurant.

Took my mom and dad to eat at LA Jaiba Mexican Seafood place. My parents wanted seafood and I wanted fajita. The place was really good and clean. The server was very attentive and funny. Her name is Dinorah she had painted red hair. The food was delicious. I don’t think I have anything bad to say. They even have a patio.

I love to get the 16 oz. Consome for $3.25. Highly recommended if your trying to lose weight. Just dont get the biggest cup they have to offer for it. You really wont like the outcome.

My partner and I have gone on Saturdays to get Agua Chiles and some Micheladas and tequila shots. But the service received from the waitress I believe her name is AISLETH is amazing. Every single time she is so amazing friendly and fast. Great Customer Service!!! Will continue to and make It our SPOT!
