We absolutely love this hidden gem!! The food is authentic and the service is always great. Their chorizo cheese grill dip is Amazing. We ALWAYS get the chicken fajitas and it’s always so tasty. They also have a burrito that is out of this world.

The food is amazingly delicious, each bite a burst of flavor in your mouth while also giving enough food to leave you stuffed. The atmosphere is nice and enjoyable with quick service and kind servers. I 100% recommend this place to anyone who enjoys any kind of Mexican food!

Came in on Saturday for lunch around 1pm. It wasn’t busy. The food was OK. I had better Fajitas somewhere else. I won’t be back here since other places are better.

Visited this small, family-owned restaurant on a friend’s recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint! Even on a Tuesday evening, the place was buzzing with dine-in customers and a steady stream of takeout orders.
The Good:
– Fantastic food, especially the tacos (the fish tacos are a must-try!)
– Generous portions for enchiladas and quesadillas
– Quick, attentive service
– Delicious hot sauces available (ask for them if you like it spicy)
– Ample free parking in the strip mall
Could Improve:
– Limited hard liquor options (mainly tequila available)
– Margaritas were strong but a bit too sweet
– Staff seemed slightly reluctant to answer questions or modify menu items
We tried the seafood quesadilla, chicken enchiladas, and mixed tacos. While everything was tasty, the tacos stole the show. The food tends to be on the milder side, so don’t forget to request their excellent hot sauces.
Pro tip: The menu is extensive, so stick to it without requesting modifications for the best experience.
Overall, La Jaiba is a great find for delicious Mexican seafood. Will definitely return for those amazing tacos! Thanks to my friend for the recommendation.

A great little find on our way home from a visit to the University of Cincinnati. Food was excellent, large portions. Great service. Lighting, tables, etc. has a nice diner vibe to it (wish I got some pics of it), setting it apart from other Mexican restaurants I’ve been in.

Excellent spot for authentic Mexican food in Ohio. Service was welcoming, with plenty of choices in the menu. I particularly enjoyed their lunch menu, which runs 7 days a week until 3pm and gives additional value for their already affordable offerings.
We had a group of 12, and the waiters kept the chips and salsa flowing as we dug into fajitas, tacos, taco salads, nachos, and quesadillas. Everything was delicious with ample portions!
Pro tip: take the bottom, less oily part of the spicier salsa add it to their regular salsa for a perfect kick in every bite!

Some of the best Mexican food I have tried in the area. Fair prices and large portions. On our most recent visit we tried the molcajete for two. Delicious and had plenty left over to take home.

If you haven’t tried La Jaiba yet, do! Go quickly to get some of the best food in Northeast Cincinnati. The Barzon Burrito is our favorite, with tender shrimp and meats. Homemade sour cream is the bomb! Fabulous owners who put their heart in what they serve as well as the staff, who are the best as well.
The Grill Dip is something dreams are made of! Hurry, go get it, you won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I were in the mood for some Mexican food and La Jaiba was not far from where we were. We enjoyed the family feel of the staff and felt welcomed. We ordered Lunch Specials and the portions were very generous. I really enjoyed the Chori Pollo that I ordered. My wife, although she prefers another restaurant, she certainly ate all the goodies that came with the chicken fajitas she ordered. Look them up and stop in for a good bite to eat.

This is a great little family owned and run restaurant. I came here because of other reviews and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the people were nice. I will definitely be back in the future.
