Wonderful experience. Food was delicious. Margaritas, even better. Taco Tuesday is a must. Try the fried seabass tacos. Service was friendly and very attentive. Staff always checked on us and made sure we were happy with everything. If we’re in town , we will be here next Tuesday.

Good experience overall. The food was good and service too, despite a little slow at times. There wasn’t any wait so we were able to sit as soon as we walked in, and parking wasn’t a problem either. Space could have been a bit tidier and flies dealt with but nothing too concerning.

My husband and I stopped for lunch. He had fish tacos I had catfish strips. The food and service was outstanding. The best catfish I have ever eaten! The waitress was so nice! Will definitely go back!

We’re back in Corpus and after setting up the RV, we were exploring for a new seafood restaurant. La Jaivita Mariscos Seafood restaurant is on the access road off 358. Mariscos has a variety of dishes. We ordered the 2 fried fish, 2 shrimp and 2 oysters. I’m not a fan of oysters. Our waitress Jackie said we can change to 3 fish and 3 shrimp. This dish comes with French Fries, rice and crabmeat salad. The food was ok but it could be better. I think the fish and shrimp batter needed a spicy seasoning. It just didn’t have that yum I want more factor. it is on the edge of recommend…

Went for lunch today. I got the Nachos C/ Crema with chicken and loaded. The chips had a nice crunch to them, the chicken was tender and the peppers and onions were a nice addition. I really enjoyed this meal. The service however was slow and waitress was not attentive. When our water glasses were empty it was a long wait for a refill and when we were ready to leave we had to go up to the cashier and she had to produce the ticket. My other issue was our ticket was wrong, they tried to charge us $4.99 extra for guacamole that was on the menu as part of my wife’s meal
but the manager argued with us that it was an up charge, but it clearly was not supposed to be. She did take it off our bill but she clearly didn’t think she should have. Additionally they have a sign in the window “No Weapons Permitted” I thought maybe they sold a lot of alcohol, they do have a small bar but not big enough for them to use the 51% sign. As a business you can do what you want, but as a person that believes in my right to Concealed Carry and as a consumer, I won’t be back. Even if it wasn’t for the bad service this is reason enough for me not to return.

We stopped in for a quick lunch. My husband ordered the loaded nachos. I asked our server what the difference was between the regular quesadilla, which was 6.99 with your choice of meat, and either guacamole or sour cream , you will see I took a picture of the menu ( this is important later in my review). Our lunch came , mine was warm, not hot , but I kept it and did not say anything . How would they heat it without ruining it? The pastor tasted a little sweet , I thought it was cinnamon, I was right ( server talked to cook) , the sauce choices were a red sauce( tasted like thousand island dressing with a slight kick, the other ,better one in my opinion was the green , jalapeno sauce , perfect) the smaller one for 6.99 has 4 pieces ,which for me was perfect. I did enjoy my quesadilla. The atmosphere is ok . The server was ok , the place was not crowded, and yet I had to ask for water and more ice( she barely put any in my first glass). So we are done with our meal , we had never been given a bill ,in spite of sitting there with no food on our plates for over 5 minutes, I had even gone to ladies’ room and back. So we went to register and told the girl out table # . She said wrong order at first , then she got it right as far as what we ate , that is where it ended and the trouble started. She quoted a high ticket price , and we both drank water and did not get chips and salsa , which the server asked if we wanted it , I said no , but she did not mention there is a charge ( who would think that, 99% of mexican restaurants don’t charge for chips and salsa , but some that don’t charge ask) so , I asked what were our charges? She did say what we had , but also said a side of guacamole. No, I did not have extra ( you will see the picture of menu and IT INCLUDED guacamole, I had about 1 tablespoon on top of 1/2 of lettuce , which was fine as I only expected a little ,NOT A SIDE!!When I told her we did not order that and I looked at menu and it did not say extra , and I told her the server did not tell me it was extra. Finally, a 2nd person came to register and voided the entire bill , did a 2nd one without the charge of a side of guacamole. I was glad they changed it , but by that time , I wanted to speak with the manager , I was informed that the person who had been arguing with me was the manager, DAISY. Even though they did take the charge off , which I did appreciate, ” the manager,” never apologized or said she would talk with the server. I did like the food , but if it is an extra charge for 1 tablespoon of guacamole , never mind, especially when coupled with the fact the chips and salsa are not free , there are just too many places to choose from.

They can’t handle having too many customers.
I suggested this place to friends and we went, no problems. A week later on a Sunday afternoon, I took my mother there and was told there was a fifteen minute wait. No problem. Except they had more open tables than customers. Thirty minutes go by and still waiting. The staff just kept walking by ignoring us and clearly didn’t want anymore customers to serve. We finally left when the only bench to sit and wait on was taken by a group of “men” who were clearly too comfortable to offer my elderly mother their seat. Disappointed in the restaurant and disappointed in those men and their lack of chivalry.

Spur of the moment decision to stop here and have lunch. We had a plate of mini tacos and a fajita quesadilla and let mme tell you both were delicious. Service was great and the bathrooms were clean. It had a small bar area and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We will definitely stop here again.
