My husband and I stopped by mid-afternoon. The place only had three tables occupied when we got there, so they were not busy. Unfortunately, the waiter's service was not very good. He spent more time visiting with fellow waitstaff instead of attending to our table. The atmosphere was pleasant enough but we thought the food was only mediocre and overpriced.... More

We're originally from Texas now living in Florida. We were in town visiting friends and looking for a place to have some real Margaritas and tacos. We had all of that, the guacamole dip, and a bunch of other stuff. The Margaritas were outstanding, and the freshly made guacamole is uniquely Texan. We really miss good Mexican food, and Senor...

I had read reviews about the ambience of this place and the great food. Neither was true in my opinion. The place reminded me of a Grandma's house. Though they had lots of lights, it was DIM. There were old silk flowers around. YUK. And old curtains. I ordered an enchilada (because I heard they were good) and a taco... More

Have been here several times on dae night with Husband. They do fresh guacamole at table if you want it. Which is nice so you know what they put in it if your finicky about dips. The food is great and has a totally different flavor and twist. Great service, clean restaurant.

We arrived after the lunch rush. We had to wait up front for a hostess, but once seated we had a great experience. Good service and the food was better than I remembered it from about a year ago. Really enjoyed it.

Love the made-at-your-table guacamole. Very pricey but worth it, IMO. Have visited several times in the last year and have never been disappointed. Hot, fresh tortillas and tasty beans, the bellwethers of any good Mexican restaurant! Well worth a visit.

My Family and I were there for the second time in 6 yrs we have lived here in corpus. The food was probably equivalent as a fast food restaurant. Nothing special about the rice, beans, tortillas etc. the place was nice inside and they serve you the avocado out of a fancy cart and guacamole is made in front of... More

We've been trying to find a good Mexican restaurant because the one we've been going to has become so noisy that it's difficult to enjoy the food. Based on recommendations here, we gave Senor Jaime's a try. The atmosphere was pleasant even though it seemed like something out of the 70's. The service was OK, but the food was another... More

This restaurant offers a very nice dining experience, much like nice restaurants on the border. The wait staff are attentive and trained. The food is well presented and very tasty. The salsa is the BEST! This is a step above most Mexican restaurants in the area. Only complaint was they charged me extra for changing the fajita meat to pork... More
