Once again I took on a restaurant with mixed and not so good reviews, and once again I am here to disprove the "critics" that have deemed this establishment a 2.1 star. After a day full of sun, sand, and cheap domestic beer we decided to give this a try as it is very convenient and right at the heart of North Beach with direct access from the beach or the road. We sat outside as the weather was absolutely lovely and found ourselves by their stage, there was live music and though I was on the fence about it at first I ended up coming around. We were sat instantly after entering and our waitress was very timely, we decided to graduate from cheap beers to the margaritas. Though they were not served in a glass they still came out just fine, they were packed full of flavor and were very enjoyable. The rims were sugared perfectly and the drinks stayed frozen almost the entire meal. For the appetizer there were not many options that appealed to my palate at the time, however being the spirit of Tex-Mex ultimately it would've been a sin to not get the chips and queso. It came out within minutes and though it was your average restaurant queso it still served as a good appetizer and prequel to what was waiting for us. Personally I cannot understand why someone would come to an establishment 40 feet from the water and not get seafood, but nonetheless we decided on the Big Papi Seafood Boil. We were not disappointed. For perspective we had not eaten all day and still had leftovers! The boil is a combination of 2 halves of crab legs, 2lbs of crawfish, and 1lb of shrimp, along with 4 sections of corn and 4 potatoes. It is served with 2 cups of melted butter and a Cajun seasoning. The seafood boil really made this place come to life. Between being packed full of flavor, beautifully tender meat, delicious butter for dipping, and the option for extra Cajun seasoning it truly was worth every penny spent. The variety is perfect it could've used a little more crab but the sheer number of crawfish and shrimp evened it out. In summary I would recommend Fajitaville, the appetizers are mediocre, the drinks are well priced and delicious, but the seafood boil. The seafood boil is a must try. read more

Hands down the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten -- and I love Mexican food. We came because Google reviews said it was good (even ChatGPT agreed), but wow... what a mistake. We arrived at 7 PM to a completely empty restaurant -- that should've been the first sign. The waitress tried taking our order before even giving us menus. The menu was confusing, overpriced, and missing most of the classic Mexican dishes you'd expect. Then the food arrived... cold. Only the plates were hot. Nothing tasted fresh or remotely authentic. I literally had to spit out part of a taco -- that's how bad it was. Service was messy, the order was taken wrong multiple times, the staff didn't look very hygienic, and there were flies buzzing around. Just not a place I'd ever return to. Save your money and your stomach -- skip this restaurant. read more

Can't wait for my next visit! And hopefully our server ms Mari g is still working here! She did an awesome job tending to me and my boyfriend ! Thank you girl for making our visit very nice ! This is such a cute restaurant it features inside and outside dining and right here across the beach ! We ordered a sweet tea and pina colada on the rocks and it super good not to sweet and not to over bearing on the alcohol, also order the 10 bone in wings with lemon pepper and half mango habanero . Wings came with ranch and fries . The wings themselves were super juicy and meaty not too greasy, and the fries were crispy and light, ranch was also thick and tasty ! The Music was so good too , they played old 2016 vibes and I loved it ! This is such a nice restaurant, super relaxing, and such an amazing view ! Thank you ms Mari g for tending to us and can't wait to see you next time read more

Roxanne was amazing! Offered us a great greeting to the city. The flounder tacos & elote ribs rocked my world. The gulls were very entertaining. Thanks! read more

the name of the restaurant you would think that the fajitas would be the best thing on the menu absolutely not . This food tastes like heat up food you buy at store. Staff was just there not friendly not mean it was uncomfortable. The food was not hot when it arrived at the table. It was warm if you even called that the atmosphere look nice but the fajitas we ate were not good. The beans were not good and the rice was not good. I will not be returning to this place. read more

Mediocre over priced Tex Mex food. The location is excellent, the service and atmosphere was better than pier 99 but the food was mid. The one star is for my husband's 40 dollar ribeye. It was a small piece of unflavored rubbery meat and they had the audacity of placing a tomato and a piece of lettuce on top of it. Never coming here again! read more

Struck out twice. Left Blackbeards to come here for the view. Bad choice - I'm 0-2. The food was terrible and the service was worse. There were 5 people at the bar and the bartender was uninterested, inattentive, and had 0 personality. The fish and chips were greasy and gross, the fries were tasteless and cold and the only thing this place had going was the view, which you couldn't see once it got dark because the bay doors were closed. And the beers are served in a plastic cup. Fajitaville was Yicksville. The only thing worth it on this side is the USS Lexington. read more

Yep...I read the reviews and thought we would go anyway. Bad decision! Really not good for food. However great place for drinks. If I had to do it again would plan dinner at a different location and come here for beach view & cocktails. Even the hamburgers were not good and that's pretty hard to mess up Server great and pleasant! read more

The only thing this place has going for it is the views. My kids eat better food in their school cafeteria. Honestly, they should just turn into a bar and quit serving food. That being said... the Bloody Mary I ordered was the worst I've ever had in my life and they my husband who ordered crown and coke received a jack and sprite... I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

Our business ordered catering from here. It was such a disappointment. The ONLY thing good was the cheese dip and chips. Period.

Save your money. Food was very salty. Our meat had a strange texture and was a little over overcooked. My husband is a leftover guy and didn't take any home. Would go back for drinks but definitely not the food. Bathrooms were gross. No one even tried to get rid of the water after the rain. Place was empty when we left. I can't imagine why... read more

Amazing service from management as we have a kid with dairy and egg allergy. They we informed and kind when we had additional questions. The food was fresh and delicious. Lots of assorted seating for any group and great atmosphere. We will be back from New Braunfels, Texas! read more

Review was reworded by GROK. "The parking situation needs clearer signage or instructions to indicate whether payment is required, as it's confusing and likely deters customers. The food was delicious, and our server was friendly with a great attitude. Rearranging the furniture to ensure all seats have a view of the waves would enhance the dining experience." read more

When I see you have to pay to park at a restaurant that is a "super clue"! After reading recent reviews... they could give a crap about the food!!! Making money on "parking"- sad and pathetic! FYI: staying at a hotel to the left of the restaurant looking from the parking lot- no business and know I know why!!! read more

Extremely Disappointing Experience We had a really bad experience at Fajitaville in Corpus Christi. The food was cold, tasteless, and honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my lifetime. This place was an absolute disappointment, and we regret even stepping in. read more

We loved this place! Food and service was great! We sat outside right by the ocean. We were staying at the hotel next door and decided to come here because it looked like a fun place. I'm so glad we did! They have karaoke but we dined late so missed it. There is a lady that comes around and takes photos. We loved our photos and bought them all! They also have swings, my daughter loved. I do recommend this place! read more

The outdoor on the beach vibes is about this place has worth stopping for. The food was very disappointing. Runny watery queso, watery runny charro beans, beef fajitas that were tough as leather is what we got. The house margarita was not bad just all ice. The food is definitely overpriced for the quality and portions you get. read more

One plate never came and we asked the waiter to check on it NEVER GOT AN UPDATE. And when told then they only offers a 10% discount .couldn't even comp the plate due to their ignorance. And the food was mid . read more

We had a company event during the week and this was the perfect place to gather. It is located on the beach, has an outdoor deck with picnic tables and swings. The patio has a venue for live music or DJs on the weekends and you can't eat the ambiance of the sound of the waves and beautiful water at night. The food was awesome and the service was great. Will definitely be back! read more

Food and drinks all over priced service was horrible they give you a lot of food for your fajitas but only give you two tortillas and you have to pay for more two isn't enough to eat your food you pay for chips and salas was just a horrible experience will not go back or recommend it to anyone ever read more

After reading some of these reviews I went in not expecting a lot. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Had the shrimp fajita la inferno. It was awesome. Plenty of big shrimp and the bean side dish was worthy enough to order on its own. Service was great, although it was early and fairly empty. Will definitely go back. read more

The Food was Awful. We had the fajitas for 2 cold like was in a fridge. The comal they came on was not even warm. My father in law had quesadillas stone cold our other meal was enchiladas and stone cold we did not eat the food. And I was hungry.The Tortillas were stale . I had asked the manager he gave us 10 percent off . Never even offered to replace or recook the meal. Our waitress was very nice. I did leave her a tip . But I can promise NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO THERE. Just lousy. We were hungry and my son Birthday dinner. We paid left the food and that is it . They Did offer to turn the music down after we were leaving. Couldn't carry a conversation. read more

Man that food SUCKED! Overpriced and just crap! You have been warned...don't bother. Waste of time and money ($19 for chips, salsa, queso and guacamole) and pretty small tubs. I hate that we wasted an experience here. read more

Was looking for a Mexican food restaurant on the water and ran across this place ..... was not good. Ordered Tres Amigos appetizer (queso, guacamole, salsa and chips) we had to send the queso back because it was cold. Then ordered ceviche and it was ok. Our entrees consisted of quesobirria plate.... The meat for the birria was zero seasoned- it's like they cooked a roast and that was it..... second entree was Fajitas Paradilda which was beef chicken and sausage - very unflavorful. It came with rice and beans and the beans looked like they came from a can and so doctored up. Michelada was good Palmomita not so much Hopefully the chef improves the their cooking skills cuz the atmosphere could be amazing. The waiter was very attentive but could have been because we were the only customers in the place at lunchtime. read more

We ate her last night. The vibe was off as soon as we walked in. We were seated quickly and the first thing the waitress says when she comes up is We are doing last call on everything. I'm ok you dont close till 11 and it was right before 9. She says oh well we have been a little slow so we are closing early. Honestly we should have left then. Our food was overly salty and just not enjoyable. We were rushed and basically felt like we were being pushed out the door. For the over $200 bill I would expect a little more decency. read more

Stopped in for drinks. We sat at the bar that has great views of the bay. They have large doors that open up the bar for an outdoors feel. Even though it was not a windy day there was a nice breeze coming off the bay which made it very comfortable. Cant say enough about the views and atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We did not eat but if im back in the area i will def. give them a try read more

Service was horrible, we received our food cold, birds ate off one of our plates of food as the waitress was giving it to us and the waitress still handed it like she expected us to eat it. She didn't offer to replace it's not apologize or anything. The food that we did get was not great. Over all horrible experience. read more

View is nice. Fajitas were not enjoyable. The meat was TOUGH! The music was so loud we couldn't carry on a table conversation! We wont be back. read more

Pork tacos so overcooked that they were not edible. Veggie enchiladas served with only onions and peppers stuffed inside ( menu included spinach and mushrooms). No knives included with utensils and when asked, given a plastic knife. All around the worst food I've been served in a long time. If you go there, maybe just have a beer, they can't mess that up. read more

The food was amazing and it was the best Nachos I've ever had in my life. The service was very good the employees were very nice and friendly to us. But I didn't expect the bathroom to be so colorful but it's beautiful. read more

Service was horrible. Had to ask for someone to take my order. No one ever came. Had to order through someone else. My fajita nachos were burnt. Had to send back. After they were fixed, they still were burnt. Person who dropped them off did not confirm if they were okay this time. No one ever checked up on us and we were never offered refills or a check up on. The view is gorgeous and the swings were a nice touch. read more

We stayed at the Hotel DeVille, which is right next door. The first day (Friday) our visit to Fajitaville was pretty good. Three meals and some drinks + a 20% tip came to about $150. The next afternoon was not so great. I ordered the pork carnitas tacos, which the menu says are served with salsa verde, cilantro, and onions. My tacos had none of that. I requested some salsa (twice), and proceeded to eat the tacos. I could not have known until beginning to eat that there were no onions or cilantro. Being hungry and with the rest of my group, I kept eating and waiting for the server to return. By the time she did, I was halfway through my second taco. When I voiced my displeasure at having to eat very dry tacos, she said she would get a manager. The manager that returned was rude and unhelpful. When I told her the issues, she said she could discount my meal. I replied that I should not have to pay for food that was not served as advertised. She asked if I had alerted the server "ahead of time". That makes no sense whatsoever. When I told her that, she said I was not being nice to her. I said charging for and serving food that is not properly prepared wasn't very nice either. She walked away and took 10% off the bill (about $6). I had told her that I have eaten in restaurants in 30 different states and that normally my meal would have been comped. Her reply was "that is not how things work". Folks, this is not my first time eating out. I've been paying for my own meals for well over 40 years. 30+ states and 4 countries. The tacos were dry and unflavorful. The rice was nit fresh. The bowl of beans was delicious. My can of Blue Moon beer was served with a wedge of orange, but no glass, rendering the orange moot. I will not be back, and I will tell anyone and everyone that the floor manager at 3 pm on October 19th, 2024 is incompetent and rude. read more

Visited the property with excitement, was a fan when it was previously opened. Upon entry we were told it would be a 45-minute wait. As soon as we exited the elevator, we were told to sit wherever we wanted. We were one of two parties seated in the entire restaurant. Upon receiving our food we noticed the fajita tacos were 90 percent bell pepper and 10 percent meat. I thought perhaps the stuffed avocado would be better. The meat in there was no better. This isn't even the worst part. After being told our total (non-itemized) we paid. To our surprise (three couples) the totals had a 20 percent tip automatic without being told or shown in a bill prior. In total we paid 75 dollars in tip for mediocre service. And when we asked for an itemized total, our waitstaff had an attitude in providing the information. The sad part is we had drinks downstairs and the staff, music, atmosphere was great! unfortunately the food and questionable staff will probably prevent another visit. I share this in hopes these concerns can be addressed. I wish you much success Fajitaville read more
