" Oh man, if you want flavors that remind you of Mexico, you have to visit La Gaviota! The lettering on the menu is in Spanish, and it feels like a family-run restaurant. I tried the steak fajitas, and they were fully packed with flavor— smoked just right! I never even looked at the price because I knew it would be worth it. And it was! Just be cautious of the timing; I waited a while when they were busy. So happy I stumbled upon this spot in Denver! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves this place! Their taco platters are filling and affordable. We usually order a variety to share, and everything is always fresh. The tortillas are homemade, making a world of difference! We've visited several times, and each time it feels like a treat. It's a simple setup without frills, which is entirely fine. The service is typically friendly but can get a bit busy during lunch rush. Great place! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Gaviota is truly a hidden gem! My friends took me here last month, and I've been back twice since. The tamales are out of this world! The flavors are authentic and remind me of my abuela's cooking. I wholeheartedly recommend trying their salsa bar—so many delicious options to choose from! Just remember to go early or be prepared for a bit of a wait. The staff are friendly and always smiling. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on recommendations, but my recent visit was lackluster. The food was average, and the atmosphere left a bit to be desired. The tacos were fresher than what you'd get at a fast-food chain, but they weren't as good as I was hoping for. Service was prompt but felt a bit impersonal. I'd rate it a solid 'meh' overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authentic, affordable, and delicious! I visited a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tacos. Everything was fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. I sat at the salsa bar to make my tacos stranger than ever, which I adored. Just keep in mind that during lunch, it can get very busy, so come prepared for a wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The tacos were decent but not great, and the ambiance felt a bit flat. The service was okay, but the staff did not seem particularly attentive. I wish I had a better experience because I really wanted to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This gem of a restaurant serves some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever tasted! The carne asada tacos were perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with their homemade salsas. I highly recommend trying the pupusas; they are delightful! The atmosphere is welcoming, although it has that classic hole-in-the-wall vibe. The staff is friendly, and they genuinely seem to care about customer satisfaction. I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
