El jaguar restaurant, mariscos & bar — Restaurant in Baytown

Update to the below review. Even though the food is fantastic, my husband & I are debating on returning for future visits due to the overly loud music. 11am trying to have lunch & the music is so loud that we can't talk unless we yell. Our waitress had to lean in to hear us say our order & the staff was yelling at each other to communicate.

Makes me feel like I'm in a packed bar on a Friday/ Saturday night. No need for music in a restaurant to be that loud. Not inviting at all!!!!

My husband & I have been waiting for this restaurant to open & let me tell you it was worth the wait. Besides a language/ communication barrier & our appetizers coming out with our main meal, the food was Fantastic!! The flavors were on point, the portions was plenty & my mouth said feed me more when my belly kept saying stop 😆. We will definitely go back to explore more of the menu.

If you haven't been here, you must make time to go.... it is worth it.

Ok, only 2 days ago I ate here & I find myself back again. This place & is flavors are amazing.

Officially, my new...

Honestly, I am biased. When you go to a place that, by another name, was your favorite, everything is going to disappoint.

If you go in thinking a bar with a menu, you won't be disappointed.

They remodeled, so the door is in the smallest of the 2 parking lots.

Inside is fine. It's a bar with food. Very overpriced food. I got a ribeye. On the menu, you see ribeye for $25.99, you think ok. But it was so thin. It was like I was eating half a steak.

Rice is the new normal in Mexican, with corn. I'm dropping it there.

The chips were corn Tostitos. Red salsa was pretty good, but they had a white salsa that was not spicy, but I loved it. Only it didn't stick to your chip. It wasn't a dip. Just chunky. As good as it tastes, it needs a binder to stick to the chip.

Everything just came off as ill-advised from the door position to the TVs playing silently with...

Not a good experience.

Visited Labor Day for lunch . The host was not welcoming, told us to “pick a table I’ll take your menus in a minute.” .. we sat .. she only brought 2 menus and utensils when it was 3 of us . She said “I only brought two menus” and walked always and never brought another menu. The waiter came to take our order and we asked for more time because we had barely sat down . Did not take our drink order walked away .. We waited for him to return to order food and drinks but he was busy attending bar customers first. We waited but service was already bad so we decided to leave.

We did not get to eat. Hopefully there will be better service if we decide to...
