" Honestly, I don't understand the hype. The sushi was average at best, and the service was not attentive. I expected more based on the reviews but left feeling disappointed. Was hoping to find a new favorite spot, but I guess it’s back to the search. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maristaco feels like a slice of Japan in Ensenada! The sushi rolls were mesmerizing—each bite was filled with freshness and skill. The warm atmosphere makes it ideal for dinners, although it's definitely a small spot, so be ready for a wait. But each plate makes it worthwhile. It's my go-to now! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique gem! From their gorgeous sushi rolls to their lovely ramen, Maristaco is a hidden delight in Ensenada. It reminded me of my time in Japan, where I enjoyed street-style culinary experiences. Don’t miss out on their tempura either—light and crispy perfection. Truly an enchanting place for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished a meal here and I am already craving it again! The sushi was so fresh and the chef adds a touch of creativity that I appreciated. Eating under the stars was an experience itself. A bit pricey, but you're definitely paying for the quality. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Maristaco, but unfortunately, it fell short in several aspects. The sushi lacked the depth I was hoping for and felt overpriced for the portion sizes. The service, while friendly, was a bit slow, which didn't help. I doubt I will return in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for genuine Japanese food, Maristaco is the place! The flavors are true to what you would find in Japan. I tried both the sushi and ramen, and each was exceptional. The only downside is the limited seating. I'll definitely recommend it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best sushi I've had anywhere in the region! The chef clearly knows his craft, and the quality of fish is outstanding. The ambiance is like a hidden gem; really feels personal and homely. Each visit has been a joy, making me a loyal customer. Just make sure to bring cash, as they don’t take cards! " (*Curated Review*)
