" Went to La Ceiba for the first time and was not disappointed! The food was fantastic, and I had the quesadillas. They were cheesy and packed with flavor! The handmade tortillas were the best part. The staff was attentive, and the environment was festive without being overwhelming. Can't wait to try more of their menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Ceiba delivers authentic Mexican food at its finest! I enjoyed their mariscada and it definitely tasted fresh and high-quality. Though the service was slow when I went, it was a busy night. The lively atmosphere kept me entertained while waiting. I see why this place is popular, and I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried La Ceiba and was really impressed with the quality of the food. I tried their shrimp platter, which was generous and tasted incredibly fresh. The tortillas were handmade and paired perfectly with the traditional dishes. I did find the music a bit distracting, which made it hard to converse, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I would certainly recommend this spot if you’re craving good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love La Ceiba! Each time, I try something new from the menu, and it never fails to impress me. Their ceviche is one of the best I have tasted outside of Mexico, truly fresh with all the right spices. I also appreciate that they offer vegetarian options! The atmosphere is always vibrant, perfect for nights out with friends. Make sure to come early because the seating can fill up fast during dinner hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit, I had high expectations based on the previous reviews, but I was slightly disappointed. While the food was decent, it lacked the authenticity I was hoping for, and it was a bit bland. The service was friendly but slow. I had to wait longer than expected for my meal and the atmosphere felt chaotic with the loud music. I think I may give it another try but will probably order something different next time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are craving authentic Mexican cuisine, La Ceiba is the place to be! The flavors and the portions are incredible. I had the mariscada that was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with their freshly made tortillas. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, and the staff were very friendly. This spot definitely gets my stamp of approval! " (*Curated Review*)
