" I’m honestly surprised by the hype around Mariscos La Costa. Although it has a funky vibe, my food was lackluster. I had high hopes for their ceviche but was let down because it wasn’t fresh enough. Service was decent, but it felt like they were in a rush. I’m not sure if I would recommend it to others, it didn’t meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mariscos La Costa has some of the best authentic seafood dishes I have ever tried! I’m a bit of a seafood junkie, and this place hit the spot. There’s a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that made the dining experience enjoyable. I tried multiple dishes, including their shrimp and octopus, and they were flavorful and fresh. The prices were reasonable for the quality you receive. I will definitely recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were a bit skeptical visiting Mariscos La Costa after reading some mixed reviews, but I'm glad we tried it! The food was impressive, especially the fish tacos which were packed with flavor. However, the service could use a little improvement as our server seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant had an authentic Mexican vibe, filled with decorations and energetic music. In terms of portions, they were quite generous, which always makes for a happy dining experience. We will definitely be back to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly disappointed after my recent visit to Mariscos La Costa. The food quality has gone downhill significantly. I ordered the ceviche and it was bland and lacked any flavor, which is unusual for a seafood restaurant. The service was mediocre; I felt ignored much of the time. The atmosphere did have a lively spirit, but with the declining quality of food and service, I doubt I will return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing friends rave about Mariscos La Costa, I finally visited, and it didn’t disappoint! I tried the tostadas de ceviche, and they were perfect—so fresh and tangy. The atmosphere was fun, though quite loud with music playing. Service was quite good too; our server was attentive and friendly. Overall, I had a great time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Mariscos La Costa for years, and it has always held a special place in my heart. The atmosphere is always bustling with laughter and chatter, making it feel vibrant and alive. I tried their famous shrimp cocktail and it did not disappoint! The shrimp were large, juicy, and served in an amazing sauce. My only complaint is that the music was a bit loud, making conversation tricky. But overall, I’m always happy to come back here! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Mariscos La Costa for a family night out and let me tell you, we were not disappointed! The shrimp tacos were a hit with my kids, and I absolutely loved the aguachiles. It had a nice kick and was refreshing. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made our time there even better. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with lively music and laughter. Portions were generous as well, so we definitely felt like we got good value for our money. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
