" I recently visited Acamaya and was really excited about it, but I have mixed feelings after the experience. While the atmosphere was lively and the staff were friendly, I found some of the dishes to be slightly overrated. The octopus was well-prepared, which I enjoyed, but the ceviche left me wanting more in terms of flavor. I'll likely give it another try, as menu options seem extensive and intriguing. Overall, a decent meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish I had in Acamaya took me on a unique culinary journey. The dishes sang with authentic flavors and beautiful presentations. I particularly loved the hamachi tostada – fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, perfect for a night out. The service was good but could be faster. However, I would highly recommend visiting Acamaya if you're looking for astounding Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Acamaya based on all the rave reviews I’ve heard, but I left feeling a bit let down. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly but our food was just okay. One dish was far too salty for my tastes, and though the setup was inviting, the noise level was surprisingly loud, making it tough to relax during the meal. I would definitely recommend visiting for the cocktails and desserts, but I think I may skip the main dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable culinary experience! I found the atmosphere cheerful and the staff engaging. The dishes were mostly good, with standout items revealed to be the hamachi tostada and the crab sope. I found some flavors to be overwhelmed by salt, but it didn’t ruin my experience. My only concern was the dining time; everything felt a bit rushed- looking forward to relishing the next meal slower! All in all, I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice evening at Acamaya. The flavors were great and the staff was welcoming. The restaurant was buzzing, but we managed to find a quiet corner. I really enjoyed the arroz negro; it was a good mix of flavors. However, I felt the dessert options were a bit limited. Overall, a good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful restaurant! The flavors of the dishes were vibrant and the ambiance really gave off a welcoming vibe. I particularly enjoyed the octopus dish, it's a must-try! The prices felt a bit steep, but given the quality and freshness of the food, it just might justify the expense. I'm excited to try their cocktails next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Acamaya has quickly become my go-to spot in the Bywater! The creativity behind their dishes is something to applaud; the crab sope was packed with flavor and the desserts, especially the flan, were out of this world. Our server was knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu, making a few suggestions that we loved! I also appreciated the relaxed yet upscale atmosphere that makes it suitable for every occasion.
