Went for a late lunch while at the beach for a long weekend, the service was horrible! Sent my drink order back, twice, because the bartender, Jessica, could not make my drink right, when the 3rd drink came back wrong, I just gave up & drank my water. I was charged for the drinks I sent back. Our food was just "ok", could've had a better salad at Wendy's. My waitress, Heather, closed my ticket out, before we were finished because she was leaving & said any of the other servers could get me anything I needed. After sitting there for another 30 minutes, without any attention from anyone, I had to ask for service. The only thing Fajitaville has that appeals to me is its location.
Review Source:Excellent location right on the beach which jumps the rating by one point. I had a lot of seafood here which was good but most of it fried. The fajita wraps are unique. The salmon is good too. The downside however is that its insanely busy most of the time and there is a long waiting time get seated. We got a good waiter though.
Review Source:The only reason we stopped at this restaurant is because my husband missed his exit and we ended up across the Corpus Christi bridge. Â Would strongly suggest that you just turn around and head back over the bridge and find another place to eat.
We ordered an appetizer, Diablo's (Shrimp Stuffed bacon wrapped Jalapenos) which were so over cooked the bacon was almost burned...and they were served with TARTAR sauce! Â
Our entrée was the beef fajitas for two...which were basically boiled fajitas that were thrown on the cast iron skillet last minute for looks only!  These were the WORST fajitas I have ever had with zero flavor or salt and were served with Mexican rice that was white in color , which tasted like rice pilaf, and accompanied by no less then the most overcooked (and more than likely the previous days) charro beans. Â
The pico was old...also probably yesterdays left overs...the shredded cheese was melted to our plate and the service was HORRIBLE! Â Our waiter decided to clean tables first before even taking our drink order...and when he finally did attend to us it was obvious he was in a foul mood and neglected to even refill our drinks.
Over priced....horrible food...horrible service....avoid this place!!
Staff was friendly, but less attentive once they found out we were there for drinks and nachos. Charged for beef fajita nachos, but didn't get the beef. Â Drinks were considerably more expensive for the size. Drinks and food were tasty, though. Expect to pay quite a bit when you come here.
Review Source:This place was so bad, despite its cool, outward appearance. The fish was bland -- both the Mahi Mahi and the Salmon. Â The shrimp that was served with the Mahi was not only bland, but was had the added feature of staleness. Â I did not know that shrimp could be stale, but this place found a way. Â But the worst of our experience is centered around the fajitas. Â We thought that a restaurant named Fajitaville would strive to get their signature dish right. Â But both the beef and the chicken fajitas were bland and not fully cooked. Â They were served with cheese, sour creme, pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsa. Â I guess the cook (somehow "chef" just doesn't seem the right thing to say) hoped the mix of flavors offered by the sides would cover up the fajita meat fail. Â
We will never go back to this place; there are plenty of restaurants along the beach to try.
Disappointing. If it wasn't for the excellent location and good band it would be 1 star. The atmosphere was drab, staff seemed like they didn't want to be there, and the food was bad. We only tried one floor but that was more than enough.
We ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers, fried avocado, queso and chips, and the nachos. The jalapeño poppers were alright but overcooked and still had the stems on em. The fried avocado was the worst of the bunch. It was two massive balls of avocado fried. We have had fried avocado many times and it is normally great. The massive balls of avocado were way too big and needed to be sliced more. Queso was an embarrassment to the great queso you can find in texas. Seemed like something you would find in a chain restaurant in Pennsylvania or something. Then the nachos were just meh, thrown together and lacking any excitement. A variety of mix ups throughout our visit, highlighted by not getting plates and utensils until a good 5-10 minutes after our food arrived (resulting in eating cold food).
Check out some of the other places around that area, we did and found we would not be returning to Fajitaville.
The food was mediocre. Â I had the Akaushi ribeye, took forever to come out. Â It was cooked ok (ordered rare), but nothing to write home about. Â The service was terrible. Â There weren't many people seated at the bar, and with 3 bartenders there we still struggled to get their attention. Â The drinks were good, that's what earned that 2nd star, otherwise this place sucks. Â Too bad, the location is nice, but I won't be going back.
Review Source:I only give it one star because I could not go negative. First of all the service absolutely sucked. The people that were seated well after us got their drinks and appetizers before we even got our drinks. Then when we finally got our drinks and was finally able to order our food she took our order and didn't ask if I would like more tea nor did she ask us if we wanted anything else. Seemed like she was in a hurry. When our food finally got delivered it was good at first bit then the ultimate happened. I found a fingernail in my hamburger. Yes the whole fake fingernail that was on someones finger. I almost threw up right there on the patio. Disgusting place and I will never return.
Review Source:The first time I went, when it was just becoming known. Â It had the best fajitas I had tasted in a while. Â The view of wonderful the nasty water ocean is nice. Â The service was great... Now, it just sucks butt. Â The place seems dirty. Â The food is too greasy and the service is balls. Â Just thinking about it makes my stomach throw up. Â Yes, my stomach can throw up. Â I guess it can be cool if you are just there to drink and have an appetizer. Â Don't try the fried avocado ball. Â It's nasty!
Review Source:I went to have a few drinks and watch the game. The first floor was perfect for that! After a bit I got hungry and wanted some nachos. I was surprised that I couldn't find nachos on the menu. I was in a dilemma because I love nachos. I asked the bar maid if they could make nachos, she said of course they could. I was then happy again. I didn't know what to expect because nachos were not on the menu. I ordered them with beef and chicken fajitas and mushrooms. When they came out i was surprised! It was a huge mound of goodness, they were so good! The bar maid also gave me some salsa. The salsa was a wonderful complement for those chips that were able to escape the hearty toppings! The nachos were definitely a meal for 2 maybe 3 people!
Review Source:This is the first time I wish Yelp had negative stars - this place is AWFUL!!!
I'm accustomed to so-so service in Corpus and this is far and beyond probably the worst service I've ever encountered at a restaurant.
Grant it, we had a bigger party than normal (9 people). Â We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait. Â We were allowed to sit in the downstairs bar area where they had a DJ blasting music. Â We couldn't hear each other talk. Â
After waiting 20 minutes, the hostess told us the kitchen was really backed up and while they could sit us upstairs (God, please - my ears are bleeding!), they want us to wait ANOTHER 15-20 minutes while they catch up on their tables. Â REALLY?!?! Â You can't seat your customers even though a table is available? Â The hostess told us we couldn't because it was their policy to serve customers immediately.
After another 20 minutes waiting, we were finally taken upstairs to our table. Â
The second floor was practically empty. Â We sat there for 10 minutes until a waiter came to take our drink order. Â Seen as how we had almost an hour to memorize the menu, we were all ready to order (and LEAVE). Â He was not prepared to take our order and mysteriously disappeared for about 10 minutes until he came back and took our order.
Phew...that's over...can't get much worse than that, right?
So we sat there.....and sat there.....and.....you get the point.
We all had empty glasses for a while until a woman refilled us.
The food took forever to get - I think the food arrived about 40 minutes after we sat down. Â Finally - my ribs were beginning to stick out....
Out of the  9 food orders, they got 4 correct.  More waiting....
Finally everything is correct.
No silverware though....
We had to leave our table to flag down a 'manager' who told a bus boy, who showed up 5 minutes later with silverware.
We scarfed down our food - mainly because we all wanted to leave and go back to our normal lives - just to have our waiter, who seemed to be preoccupied with anything other than working, bring us our check 20 minutes after finishing our meals.
No sorry for the wait, how was your food, can I get you anything else.
It's like he knew the answer already to all of the typical things servers ask.
If you are reading this and are slightly tempted to try this place, please save your time and money. Â
It's overpriced like crazy for mediocre food. Â
Highly recommend going anywhere else but here!
If you're the owner - please apply for "Restaurant: Impossible" on the Food Network as you need an entirely new wait staff, management and menu choices/prices/
There's nothing worse than than a bartender who doesn't pay attention to you especially when you're the only one at the bar. And to not get my order correct doesn't help either. The only thing worse than that is waiting 35 minutes for a grilled chicken sandwich. Hello? What's going on in the kitchen? It's painful. When it's slow, food and service should be on point. Will I go back? Yes, but it will be their last chance to impress me. I'll make my way back for the corn hole that they have on the beach. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the restaurant/bar business is about hustle and attention to details, customers like it when they see you hustle to take care of them. Lock it up Fajitaville!!
Review Source:Very cool place. I wasn't that hungry, but I've wanted some apple pie and ice cream since I left Albuquerque a week ago.
Yeah, I know...I passed up shrimp and burritos that I'm sure are fantastic, but, wait a bit. What is this, deserts on a Happy Hour menu? My chance to not blow it this time.
I pointed to the server, who was also the hostess. I pointed that I wanted apple pie and ice cream, and I told her it's nutritious and delicious. At that moment, she said, 'Is that seriously what you want?"
"Yes. Exactly. That is what I want. Every city I visit, I try to eat apple pie and ice cream. It's kind of a tradition." Â She looked at me funny, and said, "Okay." And quickly bought me my iced tea, which was fresh.
Eventually she served me the apple pie and ice cream. I imagine the chef laughing about it, or finding it odd. It took them awhile.
Despite the wait, I watched the gulf, and listened to the back ground music, and watched the seagulls. This place is directly on the gulf shore. It's a beach side bar that serves full food. There are surf boards on the wall, and the girls wear bright flowered blouses.
The pie came out hot and bigger than I expected. I've eaten enough pie I can immediately tell if fresh apples were used, and not corn syrup but brown sugar and butter. The crust was good as well. The ice cream had vanilla beans in it.I forgot which brand that is. It had a dollop of whipped cream, and was drizzled in warm caramel syrup.
Certainly better than the huge chicken buritto the guy at the bar was eating. With this, I started something I'm going to continue. Going into a restaurant, not so hungry, looking at the desert menu, and ordering apple pie and ice cream.....Not only is is traditional, nutritious, delicious...you should see their expression. Just that is worth an extra star.
Pretty cool atmosphere. Â Great concept with multiple floors and some dining overlooking the beach. Â I give them credit for doing something out-of-the ordinary. Â I haven't seen many three story restaurants. Â Plus being on the beach. Â Given the environment, I was expecting some steep prices, but surprised to find the food reasonable. Â I ordered the "Asuaski beef fajitas" which came with the typical rice and beans and tortiallas. Â I didn't know what Asuaski meant, but neither did the waitress.
Okay, with the prices being reasonable, I was expecting some small portions.
The food arrived and I was surprised at the portions. Â I had a big heaping pile of Asuaki beef fajitas, grilled veggies, and good portion of rice and beans. Â When the server brought the plates out, I thought I had they had the wrong order. Â A lot of food to eat. Â The fajitas were definitely fork tender. Â But the fajitas seemed a little on the bland side. Â I am not sure if was the marinade or the seasonings. Â I think the Asuaki was a little hyped up. Â Don't get me wrong, they were good fajitas but not prenium bad- a fajitas. Â But again, the price was reasonable. Â The rice and beans were okay, as these guys don't really stand out anywhere. Â The tortittas, "Uff Da!" as my Grandma would say. Â Medicore tortillas found at a grocery store served at a restaurant. Â I hope this isn't standard operation procedure here and they had ran out.
I've seen other restaraunts use store bought tortilla chips, but Fajitaville's tortillas take the cake. Â Speaking of chips, they wasn't any! Â That's hard to forgive at a Mexican restaurant. Â
In a nutshell;
-Ambience/ Experience was pretty good
-Not just a Mexican restaurant, plenty of American food choices
-Beach view from the 3rd Floor balcony, awesome!
-Value was reasonable, surprised at $15 for "Asuaski" beef fajitas
-Parking lot was packed, but inside it wasn't crowded
History will tell if this place make it or not.
Food: Â 5 Stars
Hostess: Â 1 Star
Server: 3.5 Stars
Arrived at 6:45 on Friday  night and was told it'd be 20-25 minutes.  There were only 4 names ahead of ours on the wait list.  No big deal.  We (my husband, toddler and I) sat  at the bar and waited.  And waited.  And waited.  And waited some more.
50 minutes later, I told the manager we had been waiting for almost an hour, and asked when we would be seated. Â We were seated promptly after that.
We were taken upstairs, to a booth, without the highchair I asked for. Â When I asked a second time, she (the hostess) told me I'd have to use a booster. Â Ummmm, methinks NOT with a 1.5 year old. Â After some attitude on my part, she brought me a highchair. Â She obvi doesn't have kids (surprising for a 20-something in Corpus) otherwise she would have realized how frustrating it is to wait almost an hour, then be told "no highchair". Â
Our server was decent - no complaints there.
The food was good - we ordered stuffed jalapenos, frozen margaritas and beef fajitas. Â The beef was so tender, it could be cut without a knife.
All in all, we *might* be back, but it won't be at the top of our list.
This is absolutely horrible-they just opened and they already have no standards of food quality..I had beef and chicken fajitas.my husband had stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes.everything came cold and overcooked. Plus the waiter had little training and kept forgetting everything...horrible experience all around and cost us $45 to be displeased.
