" I had high expectations for Camino Riviera, and they were mostly met! The cocktails were crafted to perfection; I especially loved the mezcal options. The ambiance was lively, only enhanced by the vibrant décor reminiscent of Tulum, as mentioned in the reviews. The small plates are delightful but are priced a tad too high for the quantity. While I enjoyed most of the dishes, I felt some could use a touch more seasoning to really bring out their potential. Overall, a solid experience that I'll definitely repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, I love this place! The atmosphere is lively, the service is fantastic, and the cocktails are to die for. I suggest visiting during happy hour for some phenomenal deals on drinks. The tapas are delightful, although a bit on the smaller side. Everything we tried, from the ceviche to the Brussels sprouts, had incredible flavors. The only downside was how crowded it can get on weekends, but it adds to the energy! Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended to visit Camino Riviera by friends, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was sparkly and inviting, perfect for an evening out. The tapas menu offered a variety of delicious options. The scallops were a highlight! However, the pricing felt steep compared to the portion sizes, and I left feeling like I needed more food. Still, the enthusiasm of the staff and the quality of the drinks made up for it. Recommend for a fun night out, especially for drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" Camino Riviera was a delightful experience overall! The décor is mesmerizing, and it truly transports you to a festive atmosphere. I indulged in a variety of dishes, which were all well-prepared. My only critique would be the dish sizes; I felt like I could have eaten more for the price. I'd mark it as a fantastic dining spot with creative tapas but do come prepared to indulge in several plates to leave satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience at Camino Riviera! The ambiance was a welcome escape from city life, and the staff were exceptionally attentive. I particularly appreciated how my server guided me through the flavors, helping me select the perfect cocktail to match my meal. The food was undeniably delicious; the ceviche was fresh and flavorful, and the tacos were innovative yet stayed respectful to traditional flavors. I’d say it’s a little on the pricey side for tapas, but you absolutely get what you pay for in quality and presentation. I left excited to return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, dining at Camino Riviera feels like a mini vacation! The atmosphere is styled so beautifully that it draws you right into its serene embrace. Every plate was colorful and rich in flavor. I particularly loved the corn ice cream, so innovative! Only drawback was the high prices paired with small plate sizes. Make sure to prepare for a lively ambience when you visit; it can get quite loud with the music and crowd. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Camino Riviera from a few friends, I decided to check it out. The decor is absolutely stunning and immediately transports you to a tropical haven. The energy is always bustling, especially on weekends, which does lead to a bit of a wait if you're not visiting during off-peak hours. I enjoyed a selection of tapas; the ceviche and tacos were bursting with flavor, but again, the portions left me a bit hungry. I’m eager to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
