" I had high expectations after hearing rave reviews, but sadly, Golosito didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The shrimp I received were not fresh and left a bit to be desired. The service was okay; the staff seemed busy but didn’t check in often. I was particularly disappointed in the ceviche, as it felt more like a tomato soup than the zesty dish I anticipated. I might give it another try in the future, but this experience was underwhelming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t always write reviews, but I had to for Golosito! I visited on a Thursday and found a cozy place filled with smiling faces. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful; definitely a go-to dish. I appreciated the option of bringing my own drinks, which made our outing feel special. Our server was friendly, but I could tell they were busy. No complaints from me; just a wonderful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Golosito with my family, and we were so excited given the reviews. The atmosphere is relaxed, a wonderful outdoor setup. However, the ceviche missed the mark for us; it was a bit too salty and lacked freshness. I found the service to be friendly, but it also left a lot to be desired when it came to attentiveness. I might give it another shot someday, but I’m not sure what to expect next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been hyped so much by my friends, and I was eager to try. Don’t get me wrong, the seafood was good, but I expected something more intense in flavor. The aguachile didn't knock my socks off. Also, while the ambiance is welcoming, the staff could be a bit more cheerful. Overall, it's a decent experience, and I’d consider giving it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Golosito, and I was blown away by how fresh the seafood tasted! It was like a piece of Mexico right here in San Diego. The ceviche was vibrant, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The only downside was the long wait; it seemed they were short-staffed that day. Still, I’d gladly wait again for such a delightful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golosito left a really nice impression on me with their outstanding food quality. I went with a group, and we all shared a variety of dishes. Everything was exceptionally fresh, and the seafood just popped with flavor! While the waitstaff was a bit overwhelmed, they were generally pleasant. It made for a fun and memorable evening—definitely returning soon. Nobody should miss this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic mariscos! The ceviche was delightful, made with fresh ingredients and the right adaptations. Every bite reminded me of home. The BYOB policy made it even better, as we enjoyed our drinks alongside a huge platter of seafood. The wait was understandable given the popularity; I'd suggest ordering ahead if you can. The only downside was service; our waitress was a bit overworked but still friendly. Overall, I’m taking my friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)
