The property at 2742 Bachman Dr., Dallas, was once home to the beloved La Jaivita Seafood Restaurant. Known for its authentic Mexican seafood dishes, this dining spot held a special place in the hearts of locals. The restaurant closed several years ago, leaving the building vacant yet brimming with memories.
Constructed in 1975, the 10,138-square-foot building stands on a 1.75-acre lot near the scenic Bachman Lake. It featured a striking exterior, which has undergone changes, including a fresh coat of paint. While the restaurant sign remains on the property, the building currently serves no active purpose.
The Current State of 2742 Bachman Dr.
Today, the property remains unoccupied, with no known redevelopment plans. The site is owned by Pirring International Inc., which also owns another property at 9508 Overlake Dr., Dallas. The land’s prime location and proximity to growing developments around Bachman Lake make it an attractive potential project for future use.
As of 2024, the Dallas Central Appraisal District values the property at $1,000,000, with land contributing $609,490 to the valuation. Despite its dormant status, the building’s location holds significant promise amidst a rapidly evolving neighborhood.
As of August 2025, there are still no public records indicating any redevelopment or active use of the site.
