Our visits to La Jaivita Restaurant have been an interesting journey, driven by the intriguing stories my wife shared about her sister's past employment there. While it might not be my first choice for dining alone, as taste preferences vary, I've had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant on multiple occasions, and each visit has been a testament to its culinary appeal.Undoubtedly, La Jaivita Restaurant boasts an exceptional menu. The food here is truly remarkable, although I should confess that it caters more to my wife's palate. She often raves about the fish and shrimp soup, a dish that holds a special place in her culinary heart. While seafood, especially fish and shrimp, is not t...
The breaded fillet was excellent and generously sized. I believe the seafood consomme could be improved, as it was a bit lacking in flavor. However, the garlic shrimp were delicious. It did feel a little warm inside, and the service took a bit longer than expected, but it was well worth the wait. The waitress was attentive, and the prices were reasonable.
We were instructed to seat ourselves, but none of the servers acknowledged us for 25 minutes while we waited. Another table, which had only received menus, got tired of waiting and left. We decided to walk out just five minutes after they did. The place was dirty, and the baby’s booster seat was extremely sticky.
One of the dirtiest places in Waco for eating,it shouldn't even called restaurant,it should be called food stand,everything is dusty,wall,floor,restrooms. Chairs look too old,definitely this place needs a whole remodeling in and out. It's a place for single vatos not for a real family. Hasta la vista!Said Arnold.

Food was good on the first visits, last two years, a couple days ago it was totally different. Not sure what happened, flavor on food was different, different colors, different serving. Smaller portions for the price, I don't think I'm going back.
The service was good, but the food was disappointing. The fish had skin on it and tasted stale. I ordered a seafood soup that contained only three shrimp and a lot of imitation crab, rather than a variety of seafood.
Terrible service, the waiter is rubbish, we told him that the table was dirty and he said that we wanted it and that if we didn't change tables, it's a disgusting place.
I ordered the enchilada plate and it was very nicely cooked and prices are very reasonable Friendly staff always.

The mojarra plate was good, it just needs some good sauce on the side to make it great.
