" Had a mixed experience here. The food was decent, but came lukewarm. The service was friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. I loved the casual vibe but wouldn’t recommend it for a special occasion due to the noise. I’d be open to trying again on a quieter day to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best seafood joint in town! The flavor profile in the shrimp cocktail left me wanting more – it's a mix of spicy and tangy that excites the palate. Plus, ordering was hassle-free and the staff was engaging and helpful. The vibe was energetic, thanks to the upbeat music in the background. I’m counting down the days until my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to miss La Perla Del Mar with its distinct exterior, but once you're inside, the noise level can be overwhelming. The food is undeniably fresh - I had the ceviche that was zesty and vibrant. The service? Hit or miss; we had to wait a bit longer than expected. If you can manage the noise, the food is fantastic. Just be prepared for a casual dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as good as I was told. The fish was bland and the seasoning was off. It felt overpriced for what was served. The atmosphere is casual but more of a loud bar vibe rather than a relaxed dining experience. I might give it another chance since I've heard great things from various people. " (*Curated Review*)

" The reviews had me excited, but the experience fell flat. The al mojo de ajo shrimp was overcooked and the rice was just okay. Plus, it took a while for our orders to be taken. Despite that, the fish tacos were tasty and fresh when they finally arrived. The restaurant definitely has potential but could use improvements in service and consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can easily say that this is my top choice for seafood in Tacoma! The flavors were truly authentic, and I was pleased with the portion sizes. I had a little wait for my meal, but it was completely worth it for the quality of food that arrived. I'll be sharing my experience with friends and family who are seafood lovers just like me. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute delight! The place may not look fancy from the outside, but the flavors will surprise you. The octopus tacos were phenomenal with a fresh taste that you can't find anywhere else. The staff was super helpful, and despite its tight seating, the atmosphere felt vibrantly alive. An authentic Mexican food haven for sure. I’ll be spreading the word! " (*Curated Review*)
