Don't judge a book by its cover. The outside building looks like absolute garbage. The food inside is actually authentic Mexican or very close to it.
Just a warning the menus are in the spanish.
Great price point compared to what you are getting.

Definitely a great first experience dining here. I was greeted at the door by the very friendly employee working the counter. The salsa that came out with the chips was actually really good, and my food was delivered very promptly after I placed my order. The soup was better than I expected, with just enough variety of seafood to leave me wanting another bite despite being full. Will definitely come here again!
This is all I have to say 😋

La Jaivita Restaurant offers a diverse culinary experience, with both hits and misses in its menu offerings. The breaded fillet is praised as "very good" and "large in size," while the seafood consomme is noted as needing improvement in flavor. The shrimp with garlic, however, is deemed "very good." The overall dining experience can be a bit "hot," with service taking "a little while," but it is ultimately "worth the wait." The staff is friendly and attentive, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its seafood dishes, including a fish and shrimp soup that is a favorite among many customers. The salsa served with chips is often described as "really good," and the food is delivered promptly after ordering. Prices are considered "fair," making it a good place for those looking for tasty seafood in a casual setting. While the portions can be smaller at times, the restaurant remains a popular choice for a friendly, enjoyable meal that feels like a taste of Mexico, despite limited seating.
