" The only thing great about Costa Azul was the ambiance; everything else was average at best. The service took forever, and while the food was decent, it certainly didn’t wow me. I went on a busy night, and I suppose that might have been a factor, but I expected better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Costa Azul expecting a great meal, but it fell flat. The service was slow, and my order got mixed up. The food I ended up with lacked flavor and just wasn't what I wanted. I'll give it one more chance, but I'm not set on returning. The environment seemed nice, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always pay a visit to Costa Azul when I'm in the mood for authenticity. Everything from the chiles rellenos to the pescado is packed with flavors that will transport you to Mexico. I appreciate their ability to maintain traditional flavor profiles while also adding a twist. Definitely a must-visit for flavor enthusiasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" Costa Azul is a mixed bag. I particularly enjoyed their shrimp cocktails, which were fresh and zesty. However, I found the service to be slow, especially during peak hours. The ambiance is nice, but it's often noisy. If you go, I recommend going at off-peak times for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Costa Azul, but unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. The service was slow, and even though the place looked packed, it felt like they were unprepared for the rush. The carne asada wasn’t bad but not memorable either. Hope they can improve on both food and service because the potential is definitely there. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a place with authentic Mexican flavors, look no further than Costa Azul. I enjoyed their mariscos dish, which was packed with all kinds of seafood and had a smoky, zesty flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Though the restaurant was a bit crowded, the atmosphere added to the fun. I will definitely be visiting again soon, especially for their lunch specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon Costa Azul while exploring the area, and it did not disappoint! The ceviche was out of this world—fresh and tangy—paired perfectly with their handmade tortillas. The service was friendly and prompt, making for a pleasant dining experience. I’ll be recommending this place to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
