La Jaivita Mexican Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Dallas

The parking lot is like a dead zone with no trees or shade of any kind so your car is just blasted with sun in the Texas heat. The interior is clean but boring and the fish bowls look sad without fish and just have dead shells in them. The staff was nice but English was limited. The menu was also entirely in Spanish with no pictures so it just kind of gave the vibe they don’t want English speakers around. I’m sure a Spanish speaking country wouldn’t like it if I opened a restaurant and only had everything in English. Nothing against the Spanish language but it’s just inconvenient and embarrassing if your an English only speaker and makes y’all look rude. It’s 2022 use google translate. Alcohol was available but it was basic and overpriced. Honestly the fried catfish and shrimp I ordered weren’t even on par with long John silver. I have no idea how this place is still open much less has two locations. Their clients must just be getting too hammered on overpriced drinks to notice the...

I love this place and have been coming with my family for years now, but the place has really gone down over the years. The food is still great but management really needs to pay attention to their establishment. In the last two months that I have gone to this location and their location on Overlake both of the restaurants have NO AC! How do you expect your customers to visit and enjoy a meal with NO AC?!! I figured it would get fixed so I came back and still nothing. Like I said their food is great and service is great but how are you going to have your employees working with mask in that heat! I know I couldn’t be there without the AC. I asked my server if she knew when they were going to resolve the issue and she said she wasn’t sure, I felt so bad for them having to work in that heat. I really hope this review helps management improve the maintenance in...

I honestly don't know how people come eat here, I had the Tacos Marinos I was actually expecting fresh fish tacos not fried tacos they tasted like the tacos you buy in a box at Walmart, the shrimp stuffed Jalapeños where canned Jalapeños, I could taste the vinegar as I ate them...how hard is it to get fresh jalapeños and stuff them? My French fries were oily and soggy as if they were refried. I'm Hispanic I know what Mexican food taste like honestly I feel like they put no effort into their food... the tomato was good so was the onion and my lettuce on the side salad surprise!... apart from that my mom enjoyed her coctel de camarones she said it was good and my dad liked their rice as well. I feel like the food is overpriced for the quality of it. I rather pay more for a small amount of food that's good than for a lot of food that is...
