" I'm not usually a seafood person, but Playas Guayabitos surprised me. The mixed cocktail was refreshing and full of ingredients! The waitress was polite but could have checked in with us more often. Great atmosphere for casual dining, but the cleanliness needs attention. Overall, a decent spot for seafood, especially if you like variety. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here based on the online reviews, but I had a disappointing experience. The service seemed very rushed, and our orders got mixed up several times. I tried their ceviche, but it was way too bland for my taste. I expected authentic flavors but didn't find them. I doubt I will return, but I can't deny that the place has potential if they improve their service and food preparation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I decided to visit Playas Guayabitos after hearing great things from several friends. The shrimp and octopus cocktail was just as fresh as I hoped, though I wish it had a bit more lime. The server was welcoming but seemed stretched thin. The ambiance was casual and cozy overall, but it could use a little tidiness. Still, I enjoyed my experience and would consider coming back for another seafood feast. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Playas Guayabitos! It really feels like a slice of Mexico here. The fish is fresh, and the langostinos al mojo de ajo are to die for! Every time I come, I bring my own beers, and it’s a fun time with friends. I do wish they'd clean up the place a bit more, as it can get messy. Overall, a fantastic place for seafood lovers, and I definitely recommend it for authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem for seafood lovers! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the vibe of the restaurant is perfect for both families and friends. I especially loved the langostinos; so tender and juicy! The staff had smiles on their faces which made the experience even more pleasant. I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

" 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!
