" My family and I decided to try this place since we heard great things, but it fell short for us. While the restaurant has great potential with its setup and atmosphere, the food was underwhelming and overpriced for what you get. We tried various dishes, and only the molcajete stood out as delicious. Service was also slow, leaving us a bit frustrated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a nice dinner at Ostioneria Jaiba Brava. The ambiance is charming and made for a relaxing evening. I ordered the shrimp tacos and while tasty, they could've been spiced better. The service was warm, so I left satisfied overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were a party of 10 who came in for a birthday celebration and had a blast! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and our waitress was incredibly sweet. The seafood platter was impressive and enough for everyone to share. However, a couple of us received our food late which dampened the mood just a little. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’d return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived near the coast and enjoyed fresh seafood, I have to say, the ceviche here could use a lot of improvement. It was too watery and lacked the citrus punch it should have. The atmosphere was lively, and our waitress was friendly, so that saved my dining experience a bit. Not sure if I'd return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ostioneria Jaiba Brava was a mixed bag. While some dishes, like the molcajete, were excellent – packed with flavor and fresh seafood, others were unfortunately subpar. I tried the Alfredo and found it bland, disappointing for a seafood restaurant. Service was decent but a little slow during peak hours. Overall, I would consider revisiting but be more selective with my order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is my absolute favorite for seafood. I love the atmosphere and the bullfighting decor. The ceviche and crab legs were the highlight of my meal. Only downside – service was a tad slow on a weekend. Otherwise, it's a must-try for all seafood lovers out there! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit and it was great! The restaurant had a good vibe, and the staff was welcoming. I ordered the fried shrimp which came piping hot and seasoned well! I can't wait to return to try other dishes. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
