Mariscos La Jaibita

Not impressed with the food and the chips you get are very oily and stale! Would not recommend as a Mexican restaurant.

Was looking for authentic Mexican cuisine and was not disappointed. Since I did not go for the décor, I was not disappointed; however, the ceviche was excellent and the red snapper with garlic sauce was awesome. Service was very good. Be sure to stop by the Mexican market next door for pastries! They looked fabulous!

Greasy chips but really delicious and thick. Salsa is spicy and good. Enchiladas are full of shrimp. Beer was perfect temp; ice crystals formed after opening. Loved it!

Umm, I had high hopes, but the chips were drenched in grease, and my Grilled Shrimp Fajitas were really hard to eat because the Shrimp weren’t peeled and they were way too salty. Also, my husband ordered Beef Fajitas and they tried to give him chicken. Since my meal had already been delivered, he had to sit and watch me eat while he waited for the correct meal. To this restaurant’s credit, they have wonderful salsa and their food isn’t covered in that gloppy cheese sauce that a lot of restaurants in the area use. They need to turn up the heat on their fryer, and train their servers to make sure they understand the orders.

An incredible new Mexican restaurant, Mariscos la Jaibita specializes in Monterrey-​style Mexican seafood. Outstanding ceviche, shrimp cocktails, crab stew, and a house specialty called «Sopa de 7 Mares» (soup of seven seas?), which contains seven kinds of seafood, are highlights of the menu. If you’re a fan of Mexican beer, you may be interested in knowing that they stock Corona Familial (Corona’s banquet beer, only served here in icy quarts) and also make a killer Michelada — like a bloody mary, only with beer instead of vodka.
It’s not ALL good: the prices are a bit steep ($ 15-​$ 20 per person), and the Tex Mex items on the menu are, well… Tex-​Mex, which I find to be an unholy, bland cuisine across the board.
The servers don’t speak a lot of English, but they’re patient with you if you’re patient with them. Oh, and there’s live Mariachi music every Thursday night.
