" If you're looking for quality seafood that feels home-cooked, look no further than Playas Guayabitos! Their langostinos are seriously flavorful, and I love the fact that I can bring my own drinks. The atmosphere is laid back—a perfect spot to kick back with friends. Just be mindful of cleanliness; it could be improved. Still, highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playas Guayabitos is a wonderful restaurant if you're looking for authentic seafood. Last time I had the pescado sarandeado, and it was cooked perfectly! Adding that it’s BYOB made the dinner even better. Yes, the service could use some improvement, especially on busy nights, but the flavors of the food won me over completely. A solid choice for seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really enjoyable meal at Playas Guayabitos recently! The ambiance felt very casual and welcoming. I tried their empanadas de camaron, and they were bursting with flavor! The service could have been a bit faster, but the quality of the food made up for it. I love that it's BYOB, which makes it even more appealing! A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Mexican seafood. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand how people rave about this place. The food is decent at best, and I found my dish very bland. Yes, the portions are big, but if the food isn't tasty, what's the point? The service was lackluster, and it was quite messy inside. I won't be visiting again. There are better options for seafood around here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Playas Guayabitos exceeded my expectations! Their seafood cocktails were exquisite, and I loved the homey feel of the restaurant. A bit of a wait for a table, but well worth it! The service was good, and they were attentive once we were settled. I’ll be spreading the word about this wonderful eatery! " (*Curated Review*)

" Playas Guayabitos is nestled in a quaint location, perfect for seafood enthusiasts like me. I enjoyed the flavor of the sardine dish. The waitress was pleasant, but service was slow during peak hours. Nevertheless, I had a good time, and I would return for the food. If you're a seafood lover, I think you'll appreciate the authenticity of their dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I love this seafood place! When we go, we always order the mojarra frita con ajo. It's our go-to dish, and it's so flavorful! The ambiance has a nice local feel, though they could definitely benefit from more attentive service. If you’re in the mood for some good authentic seafood, this is the place for you!
