I went today and paid over $70 to get a hair in my food and they didn't even bother to tell a manager.
They didn't even replace my food and I paid for something I didn't eat, very bad service and bad service image
There was no one at the reception, and there were 3 families waiting, the place was empty and no one came at least to tell us to wait, which made us very distrustful and we decided to leave.

It had been at least 5 years since my last visit to La Jaiba and I was craving some good seafood so I looked up some reviews and I was led here by the 4.4 star avg. Maybe I just went on an "off day" but here's my experience: We ordered the stuffed jalapenos and upon their arrival, it looked like I made a great choice. The first one I had was only filled about half way and I thought to myself, "maybe I just got a bad one." After biting into the second one, it was literally hollow as you can see in my pics.... Maybe a name change from "stuffed" jalapenos to "hollow" jalapenos is in order. Anyhow, my waiter went ahead and replaced that jalapeno and it was alright. My mother ordered the Combo #2 (fish/shrimp) and it was alright as well. The tartar sauce on the other hand was horrible. It was so thick and hard to scoop up, almost like it had been left open over night. I don't know, maybe I just like mine creamy and fresh. As for my Marisco soup (fish/shrimp), it was just alright, nothing special. I will definitely NOT be ordering any of those things again. I saw a couple of things on the menu that intrigued me so I will go back and give them another chance. I'll post an update once I get a craving for seafood again. Like I said, maybe I just went on an "off day" because so many people like to eat at this restaurant.

We met with Mr. Don guttierrez today while at lunch and he is an epitome of class & a rare gem. He was very accommodating and edna( waitress) is also very hospitalable and very kind. The food was EXCELLENT &delicious. The fish soup, caldo marisco, shrimp, enchiladas; literally every thing we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend this place, bring your palate!!!!!!

Great place to eat! Staff is always attentive, they let us sit in our usual place (even if it is closed), and never had a bad plate. Food is always on point, flavorful and satisfying, and I recommend just about everything on the menu.
