I've been twice to this place in just a week as every time the atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming, the shrimp with fish mix Ceviche aka Camaron y Pescado is the best for the price and portion is amazing as I could eat a couple of these and be satisfied. I ordered Chicharron de Pescado, aka fried fish, as the fish was fresh from the texture and the batterd amazingly, but the seasoning lacks a little but still amazing, and the owner is a chil dude as well attentive to the customers and ask for feedback and focus on the customer experience and quality of the food. This place is hidden, but it's worth the search if you're craving seafood that won't break the bank and enjoy locally owned small business that's cares for the product they put out. Amazing

Best ceviche in Austin, for my money. The ceviche campechano is the move.

El Jaibo Seafood & Grill food truck offers a delightful experience with authentic mexican flavors and a warm atmosphere. Upon arriving, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary ceviche, which was fresh, tangy, and the perfect start to our meal. We ordered the Mojarra Frita, which was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, paired beautifully with French fries, Mexican rice and a fresh salad. The Torta de Camarón, featuring a shrimp omelette, was another highlight, packed with savory shrimp inside a fluffy omelette, also comes with French fries, Mexican rice and fresh salad. The overall experience was fantastic, with great food and friendly service. Highly recommended for seafood lovers! Update: second time dining at El Jaibo Seafood and Grill, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. The Mixed Seafood Soup was packed with fresh shrimp, mussels, squid, snow crab legs and fish in a rich, flavorful broth. The Garlic Bread was perfect for dipping, and the Mexican Rice served as a delicious side dish that complemented the seafood beautifully. My husband ordered the Mojarra Frita this time and loved it. The service was just as friendly and efficient as the first time, and the portions were generous. We’ll definitely be back again soon for more!

Situated at 13525 Dessau Rd, this locally-owned eatery stands out not just for its fresh, vibrant dishes but also for its inviting atmosphere and attentive service.

What truly impressed me was the ceviche—ranging from the classic Camarón y Pescado blend to the campechano variety—each bursting with freshness and balanced acidity that invigorates the palate. The ceviche’s generous portions and affordable pricing make it a standout choice for those seeking a satisfying seafood appetizer or light meal.

Equally remarkable is their Mojarra Frita, which arrives perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful inside. Paired with traditional sides like Mexican rice and fresh salad, this dish highlights the care and skill behind every preparation. The Torta de Camarón, with its savory shrimp omelet nestled inside soft bread, offers a comforting yet exciting flavor combination, illustrating the range of Mexican seafood specialties available here.

The mixed seafood soup is a treasure trove of ocean flavors—loaded with shrimp, mussels, squid, snow crab legs, and fish immersed in a rich, fragrant broth. Accompanied by garlic bread ideal for dipping, it makes for a hearty, soul-warming meal. For those craving a creative twist, the sashimi tostada surprises with its perfect marriage of fresh fish, crisp onions, cucumber, and creamy avocado—a true gem that surpasses expectations.
