La Sirena is a hole in the wall that you definitely want to visit for delicious authentic Mexican seafood. A few months ago, they expanded their menu and ever since then, they have consistent great food and wonderful service. I recommend the cóctel de camarones, cóctel mixto, mojarra frita, the soup, the shrimp in any style (but my favorite is the zarandeado style), the fish filet platter in any style, and the ceviche. I am very picky with my ceviche but I really like it here! On the weekends, they have live music. If it is too loud for you, you can sit at their spacious patio. [En Español] - Recomiendo La Sirena si buscan mariscos deliciosos. Hemos recibido buen servicio cada vez que venimos. Les recomiendo los cócteles, el caldo de pescado, los camarones zarandeados, los platillos de pescado a cualquier estilo, el ceviche, y la mojarra frita. Tienen música en vivo los sábados en la tarde, y si no les gusta mucho ruido, pueden comer en el patio afuera que está bajo techo. read more

Unfortunately, after being customers of this restaurant for more than six years, our last visit was so disappointing that we will not be coming back. First, we waited MORE THAN AN HOUR for our food. When it finally arrived, I had ordered the fish and shrimp with the Sirena-style sauce. The dish was EXTREMELY spicy -- and I'm Mexican! I can handle spicy food, but this was honestly inedible for me. I immediately returned the plate and clearly explained that I could not eat it because of how extremely spicy it was. Then came the part that really ruined the experience. When it was time to pay, they actually tried to CHARGE ME for the plate I had returned and could not eat. When I questioned why I was being charged for food that I had sent back, especially after waiting more than an hour for it, they offered me a 20% discount on that plate. Seriously? A 20% discount for food I DIDN'T EAT? I told them, "So you're still going to charge me for something I wasn't even able to eat and that took over an hour to serve?" At that point, I said I would pay it, but they had just lost customers who had been coming here for more than SIX YEARS. The waitress went to the back again, and only then did they finally decide to remove the charge. What made the situation even worse was that the lady in the back who apparently made the decision never even bothered to come out, speak with us, apologize, or acknowledge what happened. She left the waitress to deal with the entire situation. We were also there with a friend who had recently recommended this restaurant to a family member because they believed this place was really good. After this experience, even they were embarrassed by the recommendation and agreed that both the service and the food were terrible. Restaurants can have bad days, and mistakes happen. But making customers wait over an hour, serving a dish they cannot eat, attempting to charge them for the returned food, and then initially offering only a 20% discount instead of simply making things right is unacceptable customer service. After more than six years of coming here, this experience was enough for us. WE WILL NOT BE BACK. read more

service is horrible always takes long to be attended. waitresses seem more focused on the guys at the bar and forget they have people at the tables. food is disappointing think the only thing that's reasonable is the boil potatoes and cocktail shrimp. And my husband is in agreement they had fear factor in while he was eating and was grossed out you would think they have better tv options on while people eat. And for it to not bee too busy you would think they be more customer attentiv. read more

Great service I've been coming here for the past two and a half years and the service is always great the waitresses always know my drink and food I get they always have the drinks coming when I walk in I love the food there everything here is very good I just noticed almost all the bad reviews come from females idk but I don't agree with the I do highly recommend to try it out. Oh and their micheladas are good read more

The food was amazing my mother in law and daughter and I loved everything the service was good and fast we had to get to go boxes the serving portions were huge so a bonus read more

Had never eaten a spoiled oyster until now! It didn't stay long with me, ended up puking all over the platter right on the spot!! Stay away from the oysters!!! The beer was mediocrely cold as well. The highlight of the entire dinner was the shrimp cocktail. I don't believe I'll be back. read more

Mal servicio 1 ora esperando un caldo Bad service my mother and I spent a hour waiting for her food and mine. We were one of the first clients to be here, before a full house and lastly I'm one of the last served. My mother said if her food wasn't ready to cancel her request which the server did. read more

The menu has good things but when they're served, it doesn't look or taste the way you'd think. Disappointing considering they announce "new management". Also, we were served an appetizer which was supposed to be stuffed shrimp and the shrimp was RAW! Told waitress and she still charged us for it. Not coming back. read more

The food is pretty good! But on this recent visit! They are charging like $2.00 if you pay with a card! I only see hole-in-the-wall convenience stores do this! When paying under 5 dollars and even then it's only 50¢ charge! Their food is already a bit overpriced! Hint: don't charge your customers your fees! nobody uses cash anymore! read more

Service was mediocre and the over priced food was a major disappointment. Spent $50 on a tilapia meal, 10 fried shrimp meal and a kids chicken nuggets meal. All the plates come with either fries or rice. The fries were okay but the rice tasted like instant rice. The tilapia and shrimp had absolutely NO FLAVOR, I mean not even salt or pepper. I've tasted air that had more flavor than our food. Also, you could tell whatever oil it was cooked in was not fresh. read more

It was mediocre. I had to peel the shrimp from my soup!!! The bread was stale and smelled like fish. The tables are flimsy and the ambiance is a bit awkward. Also they have a beer pending permit sign up- and when we asked for a beer they denied it. A few minutes later their "friend" walks in and gets a beer.--- that I thought was very rude. Friend or not!!! read more

La Sirena Seafood - Small shrimp soup. Have to peel the shrimp :/ - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food selection was very slim. The sweet tea tasted like it was made with dirty water. I had the fried shrimp, which were okay. The service was not very good. The waitress was slow to attend to the assigned tables in her zone. I felt like the employees catered more to the customers sitting at the bar. Perhaps they are understaffed and these are the repercussions. The price was not worth the food and service. I would not recommend, especially if you are with family. read more

worst customer service, waitress watched us sit down and just walked by our table 3 times without acknowledging us. walked right out

I gave it 2 stars only because our waitress was sweet. We ordered shrimp quesadillas and I swear they just chopped up one shrimp and spread it out. The taste wasn't bad, just nothing in there. Oh and get this, are you ready for this??? The rice is literally 10 minute rice!!! Like the one they boil in a bag! No flavor what so ever!! I will not be going back! read more

Got off work and walked in tired and hungry and the server fixed me up quick. I had three tacos, two were pork and one was octopus. All three were super good. I recommend the habiscus (tea?) drink as well. This place is right beside the Palace Inn where I'm staying. They have nice outdoor seating as well. read more

This was totally random stop as my husband was dying for ceviche. I apologize in advance because I didn't think to yelp this place until after we were almost done... so no pictures this time. We order Tostada de Ceviche, Tostada La Sirena ( shrimp & octopus, creamy) and crawfish. I'd have to say we were very satisfied with our meal. The ceviche was really fresh and you could taste exactly what you were eating. We did add a little salt but that's what you want, you want to be able to adjust to your liking and we did. Overly saturated food, especially seafood with seasonings is not good food. This place I'm sure understands that. I know the other reviewers disagree but I for one will be returning and enjoyed my very fresh and tasty ceviche. Added order of Chicharron de Pescado ( fish cracklings) pictured here... really tasty as well. First time having this dish and we really liked it as well. The Horchata and sweet tea were great as well!!! read more

I was craving ceviche tostadas and since this place is close by my house I decided to stop. The appearance is okay. The service was decent. However, the food was horrible! . The ceviche was mushed up fish with lots of lemon to disguise the fact that the fish was old. I ordered three and could only eat half of the one. And told the waitress that I didn't like them. .. all she said was she was sorry. They did not take the other two off my bill. She packed them up for me to take home. More like throw in the trash. Very disappointed in the food. Their menu doesn't look very appealing either. I will not be coming back read more

Shrimp Cocktail was lacking Shrimp as well flavor....though the shrimp were large ish hardly any Alvacado and fixings in the cocktail...to this patron it would seem like Pico de Gallo like fixings should have been abundant for the price...the cilantro was too bold and thick as paper... Chef needs to pay better attention and taste the veggie condiments before serving this on the menu... Mind you at a seafood place that specializes in the dish. Left still hungry for a good Mexican shrimp cocktail. read more

Would be a great little seafood place just needs room for improvement and step up their game on menu choices like sides, portions and kid friendly menu....also serve what's on the menu, we asked for oysters and we were told their delivery person still hadn't showed up and we were there in the afternoon... so just a suggestion to them, especially with the new showbiz cinema coming soon right next door and Bibo's excellent food...step it up people. read more

Limited menu, no unsweetened tea, music cranked up way to loud! Service is very slow. I had to ask for a fork! Go next door for Pho.

I have been to this restaurant since it opened. It has transitioned through management teams, however the most recent visit there was fantastic. The servers are very welcoming. Once your order is taken you may have to wait a little bit longer than you're used to... This is due to most of their menu being seafood thus, Cooked upon request. Please take note that if you select any given food to be "hot", be prepared for ***HOT SPICY FIRE*** hot. I love spicy food, so that was a big plus for me. The crawfish is fantastic! They currently have a special going on; 5 pounds for $35. Call them to make sure they still have the special. Every Friday they have a live band... Each Friday it's a different band. The bands are usually Banda, conjunto, or norteño band. Every now and then, they may hire comedians (usually on Saturdays only)- For which there may be an entry fee. This restaurant is pretty good about announcing any events that require an injury fee on their Facebook page. Also, there is a daily happy hour- Monday through Friday from 4-7. I am a regular at this location And always love going back read more

Came in spontaneously with husband. I've been wanting to try this place for a while! It was really good. Everything was fresh & light. We had the cevice tostadas, oysters, spicy shrimp, & pork tacos. We are dieting so it was delicious & fairly healthy. We want to come back on a cheat because the shrimp tacos & the creamy chipotle fish & shrimp sound yummy!!! read more

Not what it used to be, waitress service is awful. some of the dishes are good like the shrimp plates. Had shrimp and octopus bowl...it was more like onions and lettuce bowl. Literally counted 4 pieces of thin sliced octopus and maybe one whole shrimp. read more

I came in here expecting a good meal but overall, I got disappointed. I order the caldo de marisco and it was a joke. Well if you want over price food and bad food at its best then you are at the right spot. read more

Wow first over price,place for food I don't think they know the food it's horrible they don't have any idea how treat at you as a costumer they serve the food and they bring the ticket right away no friendly place to eat read more

This place is horrible! No variety in seafood. Only serve tilapia, shrimp and oyster. Shrimp soup was bland, broth was red sauce (like Valentina sauce) and they threw shrimp in it. Tilapia al ajillo was bland. I can make it much better at home. The seviche was heavy in vinegar. The only thing that was good was the shrimp cocktail but only had 6 shrimp at most (it was a large). Take your money elsewhere. read more

This place has horrible customer service.. I placed an online order & waited over an hour for a 20min order!! No communication whatsoever... first & last time I come here. read more

I can't recommend this place, which is disappointing since its five minutes from my house..Ordered the fried catfish - they literally took a catfish (sans the head and innards) and dropped it into the fryer. It looked like fish jerky when it got to our table. The flavor wasn't bad, there just wasn't enough of it once you got through the leathery skin. Plus, it didn't look appetizing at all. Served with a tiny salad and rice pilaf for $9 we were not impressed. My husband wouldn't touch his... read more

Waitress did not have people or customer service skills. The food took along time and it wasn't the same quality as other times.

I stopped here for lunch on a Wednesday about 12:30 and it was empty- I was the only one in there. It looks like they spent a lot of money on the place so hope it picks up for them. So, the service was great, but the food was pretty bland. I got a small shrimp cocktail (that came in the same glass as my tea did) and their fish and shrimp in Diablo sauce. Supposedly this was supposed to be spicy, I think ketchup is spicier. The shrimp was small and the fish was totally processed as it came in perfectly cut triangles. I had to add salt to everything, rice and all so it didn't feel like I was chewing on plastic. The salad that came on my plate came without any dressing, just dry vegetables. The place seems to have potential, it just needs lots of help. read more

Came by with my family. I ordered the Diablo shrimp!! It was awesome!! Just the right spice!! Very authentic gulf coast Mexican seafood!! If you like shrimp, oysters and fish, this is the place to come to!! read more

Came at lunchtime. Place was neat, and service was great. Loved the crab salad they serve with crackers. Also order fish a la Diabla, which was more spicy than hot, but it was OK. Portion size was perfect, not too much, not too little. Definitely coming back to check on the "Tostada de Ceviche" or the crawfish. read more

Food is delicious! Boiled shrimp, menudo, crawfish, micheladas are perfect! One of the best seafood places in the area hands down! They even have tacos! Ceviche is a must try great as an appetizer! I could go on and on! Point is, worth a try and you will be going back! read more

First of all, it had to have been over 80 degrees inside the restaurant. They didn't have Michelob Ultra. The menu was limited. The plate I chose was Tacos Al Pastor but they didn't have any. I ended up getting beef fajita mini tacos. The beef was dry. No silverware or water was offered. Service was mediocre and the floor was filthy. Don't waste your money. Go next door to Bibo's! read more

Worst service ever! Sat ourselves down & was never acknowledged. Meanwhile, the only waitress there was casually drinking a beer in a salted rim glass while at the register. It was a beautiful day yet sadly all the tables outside were either occupied or dirty with flies swarming them. Awful! Almost 20 mins later, still no one came to our table, we got up & left. Never going back. read more

Crawfish is delicious. Shrimp cocktail, Fish and Shrimp are excellent. Highly recommend it.

Won't be back. Stopped in today to buy a to-go order for my husband and myself. Was not impressed. I ordered 2 enchilada meals and a ceviche appetizer. I also ordered guacamole on the side because my husband loves guacamole. I'm allergic so I always order it on the side. I ordered a corona beer while I waited and watched part of a football game. My order didn't take very long. It was $36 and some change. Way over priced for the meal I received. When I got home and opened the styrofoam plates, the rice was white, not even plump or fluffy, the "salad" was lettuce and two quarter sliced very thin pieces of tomato, and a piece of onion. The enchiladas were dry, cheese was thick and clumpy on top, red sauce wasn't good and it was lying on tin foil which leads me to believe it was frozen in a container before I ordered it and was warmed up in an oven or something. The ceviche was the worst I have ever seen or my husband has tasted. I didn't see any fish in it for one thing and the container was full of white rice with some tomato, jalapeno, and cilantro. My husband said it tasted fishy but I took a fork and went through it and didn't see any. I was not able to taste it myself because instead of giving me guacamole on the side like I asked for, they cut 3 pieces of avocado and laid it on top of the ceviche and since I'm allergic, I couldn't take the chance of getting any of it in my mouth. They charge $3.99 for the 3 slices of avocado by the way. And if they think that sliced avocado is the same as guacamole, I could send them a few recipes. I do not recommend eating here, I've gotten better meals off of a truck. read more

Best tacos and crawfish in town, good services and good vibes. The beer is always on point
