" I ordered the shrimp cocktail, but it was too spicy for me. I appreciate that they have varying spice levels, but I wish they would warn patrons. Otherwise, it had good flavors. The restaurant itself was quaint and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, we felt a sense of authenticity that is hard to find elsewhere. The shrimp cocktail was exquisite, chock-full of flavor and perfectly chilled. Our server was attentive and friendly, making it a delightful dining experience. I would definitely come back, especially for their seafood dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" We love La Jaivita! It’s consistently good, and we always enjoy our time here. The chips and salsa are fantastic! The fish tacos are our favorite, though I would like a tad more seasoning. Regardless, the vibe of the restaurant makes up for that. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very average experience. The food was okay, but I have had much better seafood at other locations. There was nothing particularly special about the meal. The service was nice and friendly, but I wouldn't rush back. Hoping for an improvement next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" So disappointed with the service during my recent visit! The meal was delightful, but our server seemed rushed and inattentive. I had to ask multiple times for drink refills. Food is decent, but they've got to work on the service if they want repeat customers. I might give it another shot but not too soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming here for years because of their outstanding seafood! The coctel de camarones is a must-try, and don’t skip the flan for dessert. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. This place holds a special place in my heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t emphasize enough how authentic and delicious the seafood is here! The coctel de camarones was unlike any I’ve tasted before. They also have a great selection of drinks, best paired with their fried fish. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming; it's a place where you can escape the daily grind. We'll be back soon!
