Jaivita Mariscos

This is your typical hole in the wall restaurant. Upon walking in we seated ourselves and our server brought us menus immediately. My friend and I came here because we wanted a light lunch so we ordered the ceviche tostadas. The ceviche did not satisfy at all. It was very bland. The food at the other tables looked good so perhaps ceviche just isn't their forte. The prices were affordable and service is good.

All I can say is that "ITS DELICIOUS!!" A great place when you're craving seafood. Great service!

Can not give this place enough stars. Very rarely have I had such authentic and fresh Mexican seafood in the US. It's harder to find than you think, even in Texas.Even after 1 visit I can tell this is going to be my all time favorite restaurants ever. The food was so good. Beyond belief. Words can't describe. This place is super touristy but don't let that discourage you from eating here.Starting off with the chips and salsa, you can tell they were made the very same day. I've been to plenty of other restaurants where you are served day old chips. It's more common than you think.We started off with some fish nugget appetizers. Never in my life have I had fish this fresh. So good when they know what they're doing. This place knows what good is.My group as a whole got some fried oysters, fried shrimp, a couple quesadillas and fajita plates, a huge fried mojarra, and a couple caldos de camarón. The menu was huge. They had just about every type of seafood you can think of. The fried oysters I had were some of the best I've ever had. Every restaurant should hold these as the standard. My father had a fried mojarra, basically it was a huge fried fish. Nothing special but delicious none the less. The shrimp caldo was super good too. Everything I had here was fresh and authentic and beyond belief delicious. Can't praise them enough. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be visiting here.Fun touristy atmosphere in a rough neighborhood but worth the visit.

Decided to try this restaurant close to the hotel. The food was good. I got Mahi tacos ( nice slice of grilled fish with slaw and quest fresco). Margaritas were tasty (we got watermelon and a strawberry/mango) but didn't feel a buzz. Wife got the ranchero fish, was very good. Both meals came with crab salad. She also got a shrimp cocktail that she says was great, not too hot and I thought it looked really full of shrimp! Kids enjoyed their fried fish and burger. We got queso and chips for an app and it was good. Only thing that got me was the total. Even discounting the drinks, we ate the next night for half the cost.

I had the fried shrimp. The crab salad was bomb on top of the shrimp. It had thick cut fries. My favorite! And the rice was good too. My parents had the tilapia fish. Thing was huge, I had a taste and it was juicy and well seasoned. They didn't have dessert options but overall this place was smacking! If you ever in corpus and want seafood, this place is good!

Terrible service 2 different workers came to our table to ask for our drinks the food was awful and my sister got a burger that was all soggy never eating here again.

Eat the ceviche mixed. Soo good with some chips or tostadas. All you need is a beer and you'll be happy. If not just add some extra avacado.

The service here is not the best. I really wanted to love it, but it's just ok. It's a sea food place right by the coast and they did not have red snapper...huge disappointment.:(. They have you typical cheap farmed fish catfish and tilapia.

WORST SERVICE EVER!! Omg We had to walt for a drink order and then when she got to our table for drink order she asks what are you eating! I was like ummm can we get a drink and order an appetizer! Then we got app and drinks and ordered and after we got our food We never saw her again! I finished my drink and had to go to register to ask for a water! Then after that she or no other waitress came by until I flagged one and ask for a to go plate! Well as we sat there we noticed that to if you asked for a cup or plate to take food they will charge you for it! Them they charge for limes and lemon slices! Food was plane tasting nothing to boost about! FIRST TIME HERE AND LAST TIME! OH WAIT... I forgot they never gave me a check of what I ordered! I paid 50 bucks for 1 appetizer, 2 meals and 2 drinks! Hmmm wonder what Price was on food and drinks... PEOPLE DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY OR TIME AT THIS PLACE... IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE A HALF STAR I WOULD...

This place is amazing!! The food is so good. They took our order 30 min before closing & gave us incredible service.
