La Sirena Seafood — Restaurant in Texas

I read the reviews before writing mine to see if there is a common pattern here. Seems you can’t expect the best service here. You want to ask exactly how your food will come if you know you are picky about certain things like what cheese you want on nachos and such. As far as our experience, we came in and it seemed noticeably warm in there but not too bad. It was a party of 9 adults , keep in mind if you are a big party, THEY DONT SPLIT CHECKS and they won’t tell you until you are ready to pay (hence the customer service). And gratuity will be added 18% was for us. They did let us split between two payments so we just all sent zelle to the paying party. Last thing on the negatives, this is more on preference, if you like your fried rice to have a lot of flavor(salt) this won’t be it. It has more of a “healthy” taste to it which that’s not a bad thing. Just be aware it won’t be super like , Chinese or mambo fried rice. Okay HOWEVER, there were good things. I will come back, they had a great michelada. I don’t like mine too spicy to where I can’t enjoy my food with all the salt. This was just enough of a kick to enjoy. The limes were a little dry but they did not hesitate to give us many more limes lol. I got the aguachiles tostada and it was PHENOMENAL. I also tried some oysters with a friend and they were also good. Ceviche was good, I even tried their kids nuggets and those were good too 😄. Definitely wouldn’t turn someone away from coming here but this is why I came to say what I say here. Enjoy! Oh yea and the saladas (the crackers) were a little stale but still...

Stay away from Taco Tuesday. I ordered 1 fish and 1 shrimp. They were both burnt. I asked for steamed shrimp with no spices or butter, just shrimp and water for my 4 yr old. The owner was great with making me a sample of steamed shrimp with butter. I told him that it was too spicy, just shrimp cooked in water nothing else. My food arrived as steamed spicy shrimp. My son was unable to eat so I sent it back and finally settled for shrimp cocktail. Which by the way is called boiled shrimp here. Once the check arrived, all of the items were still on it. When I refused to pay for items that I did not consume the owner came out to tell me that I had to pay for the food because my son touched the shrimp and everyone likes the Taco, so I should too. After 10 minutes of going back and forth, the owner finally agreed to take the items off of the check. I do believe a language barrier had alot to do with this issues. None of the waitresses spoke any English and the owner spoke a little and had difficulty...

We decided to come here for lunch today. Honestly, I would have been better off with fast food. The service was terrible from not being checked on throughout our time to our food order being wrong. We ordered the mini tacos and shrimp nachos. Once we receive our food I figured the waitress was going to another table as I see her walking out with shrimp cocktail. She then stops at our table and had to tell her we ordered nachos. She thought we wanted shrimp cocktail. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Nachos came out and were good but not impressed with the melted shredded cheese on top. A plus is that the mini tacos were really good. I should’ve saved myself from not being happy and ordered the mini tacos. Would probably give it a second shot but it looks like this will be a place to come if we’re in the mood for the tacos or try...
