In spain, fijate would have the same context as "mira." sabes is like "you know?"

Answer 3

On one Mexican radio program I listen to, the female host says "¡Fijate!" to express negative astonishment at something. I think it's kind of like blurting out "Oh my gosh! Can you imagine!" when you hear that someone did something ridiculous.
