About La Jaivita Mariscos #2

La Jaivita Mariscos #2 is a seafood restaurant located on the access road off 358 in Corpus Christi. The restaurant offers a variety of seafood dishes, including fried fish, shrimp, and oysters. Customers can customize their orders, with the option to substitute oysters for additional fish and shrimp. The dishes come with French fries, rice, and crabmeat salad. While the food is generally considered satisfactory, some customers suggest that the fish and shrimp batter could benefit from a spicier seasoning.

The restaurant is known for serving good drinks and food, particularly the ceviche and rice, which one customer describes as the best they've ever had. It is a popular spot for customers, including large groups, who often make a 3-hour drive to visit at least twice a year. The menu features favorites like oysters topped with ceviche and purple Red Bull margaritas. The atmosphere is relaxed, with cold beer helping to offset sometimes less-than-ideal air conditioning. Service is generally good, and many customers enjoy the experience, especially during happy hour, with appetizers, sandwiches, and drinks. However, some guests have expressed concerns about automatic gratuity charges, which are added without clear signage or notification. This has caused some disappointment and questions about the transparency of the policy, leading to mixed feelings about returning. Despite this, the restaurant remains a popular place for seafood lovers in the area.
