La Jaivita - Waco

The breaded fillet was very good, large size, the seafood consomme I think could be improved, it lacked a little flavor, the shrimp with garlic were very good. It felt a little hot, the service took a little while but it was worth the wait, the waitress is good and the price is fair

Service was good but food was trash! Fish had skin on it and tasted old. Ordered a Marisco soup that had more 3 Shrimps and more Fake Crab than Mariscos.

We told us to sit ourselves and none of the servers acknowledged us in 25 minutes that we sat there. Another table had only been given menus and got tired of waiting and walked out. We walked out 5 minutes after they did. It was dirty and the baby’s booster was super sticky.

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.
