" The seafood was fresh, and the flavors were on point! I particularly enjoyed the camarones a la diabla. The only downside was that I struggled a bit with the menu since it was primarily in Spanish. But I made do, and the waitstaff was happy to help explain. Definitely worth it for the authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has quickly become one of my favorites. The pescado ceviche was something else—super fresh and zesty! I love that they use roasted jalapeños in their salsas. The atmosphere has a cozy vibe, although the interior could do with a little refurbishment. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for authentic seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" The seafood soup had a rich, satisfying flavor and was loaded with shrimp and fish. The portions were notably generous too. However, my friends and I had to remind the servers a couple of times about our drinks, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, the taste of the food kept me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience! La Jaiba Loca serves the best seafood I've had outside of Mexico. The camarones al cacahuate were absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The ceviche was super fresh. The staff were warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. This is becoming my go-to seafood place every time I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at La Jaiba Loca was quite tasty! The garlic shrimp were particularly memorable. Our server was friendly but perhaps a bit overwhelmed as it took some time to be acknowledged initially. The décor could benefit from a facelift, but it doesn’t take away from the delicious meals they serve! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant based on recommendations, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The seafood was fine, but nothing stood out as exceptional, and I expected more flavor. Service lacked urgency and attentiveness, leading to a prolonged wait for drinks and food. I'd consider trying again, but with low expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this place! The ceviche was fresh and flavorful. The waitstaff was friendly, and they checked on us frequently. It had a nice cozy ambiance but felt a little crowded. Overall, a great dinner and would recommend if you're looking for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
