I ordered the Fish Cilantro plate with white rice and grilled vegetables, and it was absolutely delicious. The cilantro sauce was packed with flavor and complemented the fish perfectly. The fish itself was tender, flaky, and cooked to perfection. Even the white rice was seasoned wonderfully and had amazing flavor. For our appetizer, we ordered the shrimp quesadillas, and they were phenomenal. They were generously filled with shrimp and every bite was bursting with flavor. My husband ordered the fried fish and shrimp with fries and black beans, and it was equally impressive. The breading was perfectly crispy without being greasy, while the fish remained soft, moist, and flavorful inside. Everything on the plate was cooked just right. It's not often that every dish at a restaurant exceeds expectations, but La Jaiba Shrimp House absolutely delivered. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing seafood and excellent food!

If I even looked up I could see multiple waiters ready to help. The chiharon taco (fried fish) was good with a warmed corn tortilla. It was better with the chipotle mayo in my opinion. Slightly breaded crust but was tasty. Fried shrimp was also good as well. Fires and onion rings were okay (needed salt IMO). The Resturant was modern and there were multiple tv screens at the restaurant. Ideal for any sporting event. I strongly recommend this place. Especially if you are in the mission/mcallen area looking for reasonable priced and good tasting food. Check this place out.

The menu was all in Spanish and our waitress only spoke Spanish. That wasn't a problem for me, but if you don't speak/read Spanish then definitely bring a friend that does.

La Pesca is a locally owned and operated Mexican style restaurant specializing in seafood, but also…read morehas plenty of options for those who prefer something else. It is also apparently quite popular with locals, which is a good sign! The location is easy to find on the corner of W. University Drive and 6th Ave. by the railroad tracks. The building is old and has probably been repurposed multiple times. There are just a few spaces to park directly in front but there are more places to park on the east side. The food was wonderful. The ceviche was mounded high on the tostada, a little salty, but mild; I added some of the salsa provided it was excellent. The seafood soup was also delicious and chuck full of fresh fish and shrimp. The broth was a typical Mexican style, but not spicy. The cocktail sauce is also Mexican style. Do not expect the traditional American style cocktail sauce with horseradish. This sweeter, tomatoey Mexican style cocktail sauce is what most want here. They do have plenty of Tabasco sauce if you prefer that. The Mar y Tierra botana platter for 2 was enough to feed at least 3 or 4. It came loaded with fish, shrimp, and fajitas along with multiple sides. My son really enjoyed it ...even as leftovers the next day. There are a few Americanized aspects: the fish on the botana platter was lightly breaded with what I think was a cornmeal /flour mixture, Southern style, and had a good flavor. The French fries also had a great light crispy coating. The platter included a couple of other American sides: onion rings and hush puppies. All these on top of chips (totopos), beans, and garnished with fresh avocado... This is a popular place, and seating is limited. So if you go on a Friday night like we did, be prepared to wait to be seated, and wait a while for your food. There was also a pretty long take-out line. Once the food arrived we really enjoyed it, but there was a significant wait. I'd like to return on perhaps a Monday or Tuesday night. The décor is rustic with a beachy yet homey feel (because of the old building). I've been to classier and fancier looking places, but but I don't think anyone goes to La Pesca for the ambience. They go for the food, and it is good enough to wait for if you happen to arrive at a busy time.

It's been awhile since I've updated my review of this local Edinburg establishment. Unfortunately,…read moreLa Pesca is losing a star from initial review of the place. La Pesca is one of those places that has a great lunch crowd because it provides great value at lunch due to its low price specials however value alone can not sustain its third star. What good is value if the food is not up to par? Now La Pesca has a pretty decent ceviche. It's got zing, freshness and if you top it with their cilantro ranch and chulula hot sauce you got something special. Sadly, that's where the good ends. And frankly the value ends there as well. Me and a friend ordered the tacos de camarones especial. (Shrimp tacos). An order of these tacos consist of 3 flour or corn tortilla tacos filled with your choice of chopped grilled or fried shrimp, white cheese, grilled onions and cilantro. And a small side of Veracruz style white rice. The tacos while sounding delicious look sad as they are inconsistently filled. One Taco had barely any shrimp and was basically a quesadilla with grilled onions. The other slightly more but still very little shrimp. The third had more and one could taste shrimp but it's obvious the kitchen is skimping on the shrimp. For $12 dollars a plate I would expect each taco to be generously filled especially if you're chopping up the shrimp. Another friend ordered caldo de camarones (shrimp soup). I can't comment on it but he didn't finish it and it looked a bit oily. And still another friend ordered the Jumbo Shrimp plate. It came loaded with 6-7 jumbo fried shrimp. These were pretty tasty. However, at over $24 it was not a good value and seriously over priced. For about $20 one could order an entire seafood botana at Dirty Al's with way better shrimp. Just an outrageous price for shrimp of that quality. Overall, La Pesca is ok. The ceviche is still a winner and if you go and just have that you won't be disappointed. However, I can't recommend a whole lot else. But hey go and judge for yourself.

The ambience was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed a refreshing red sangria that was so yummy, and the ceviche was perfectly tangy with just the right hint of spice. We also tried the most unique gluten-free, dairy-free dessert, Maiz Morado and it was incredible! A special thank you to Jakie and Camille for being the best waitresses and making our celebration even more memorable. The only small disappointment was that we had previously visited Zaya a month ago, and we recognized the same manager working there as well. We noticed he visited and checked on nearly every other table, but unfortunately never stopped by ours either time. It didn't ruin our evening, but it did leave us feeling a little overlooked. Overall, though, we still had a lovely experience and enjoyed celebrating such a special occasion there.

I could eat bowls of them. Everything else on the menu is unique and tasty too I have two small critics - that would make this a 5 star review: 1. The tables are just a bit too close together. If you're on a date or dinner meeting on a busy night, you can't help but feel like the table over can hear every word....because you can. If they just removed one table from the main room to space things out, it would be much better. Alternatively, they could space people out a bit more and use the second room. 2. If you sit in the corners, there is almost no lighting. I have perfect vision and had to use my phone to see the menu. Just a sconce or something would go a long way.

The most comfortable chairs at the table, especially for a large person. We tried the rice dish with beef, chicken and shrimp, fantastic! We tried the spicy noodle dish and that had a different flavor, which was great! We also tried two different rolls and that too was good. Then we finished off with a brownie platter dessert that our granddaughter destroyed because it was so good. We will definitely come back.

We started with the gyozas, which were really good. He got the dragon roll and I ordered the sexy roll. Both were tasty, but I especially loved the tempura crumbs on top of mine they added the perfect crunch and flavor. A few weeks later, I went back with my mom. We ordered the gyozas again, plus spicy edamame, fried rice, and of course, I had to get the sexy roll again. Most of the food was great, but unfortunately, the roll didn't live up to the first visit. It didn't seem as fresh, and the tempura crumbs were a bit stale this time. Overall, still a nice spot, but hoping for more consistency next time!
