My girlfriend says it's good because the waitress won't look at me while taking my order. Nice drink selection ?

My boyfriend and I come here when we are looking for something solid to eat. What I mean by solid is consistently good. They consistently serve good drinks and good food. I usually get their ceviche. It's consistently good. I get an appetizer every once in awhile and it's always good. I tried their rice for the first time and I have to say it's the best tasting rice I've had from any restaurant ever I've been to restaurants around the country and I have never had rice that tasted this good. I recommend this please because it's just consistently good and their rice is amazing.

Just OK. Waitress a little distracted with something. Grilled mahi ranchero was good. Not too sure about that mayo-imitation crab glob. A warm broth (soup) came with meal. My wife had chicken fajitas which were tasty. Big portion had to take home some. Rice was not what I would expect in Mexican restaurant. We did not get any chips and salsa to start the evening. I think that would have been $7.50 extra.

Very poor service no menu you have to use your phone the waitress was very nice to all the men but for me I have to call her attention and you can tell by her attitude that she didn’t want to help me never again

Typical mexico-based seafood eatery. Chips and salsa good. Salsa level-6 spicy. Qaycidillas were hot and chewy

I make it a piont to visit this restaurant at least twice a year, it's a 3 hr drive from my home and ALL worth it! I can't say what's my favorite entree, but we definitely start our meal off with the oysters topped with seveche. I also like the purple red bull margaritas. AC isn't full blast, bust the cold beer makes up for it.

If you want to wait an hour for your food this is definitely the spot ? don’t order shrimp here either they’ll only give 2 pieces of shrimp for your order. Way too over priced for the quality of food!

Nice little place with good food and atmosphere. It has a full size bar and really good drink specials. The shrimp cocktail is probably the best in the city! Definitely check this place out.

We waited 45 min to have someone take our table and when we told the waiter they could care less…. The worst experience ever?

For the freshest seafood / Mariscos I will always visit La Jaivita #2. The flavor was incredible. I had the shrimp tostatda as an appetizer & the aguaschiles got the main dish. Delicioso from start to finish! Also enjoyed a Michelada with a chamoy rim. Cold & tasty!
