" Absolutely loved Mariscos La Playa! Their seafood is so flavorsome and authentic that I felt like I was back in Mexico. The atmosphere is vibrant, and service was prompt. I particularly enjoyed the langostinos; however, my friends tried the fried fish and said it tasted somewhat bland compared to mine. Still, I'd absolutely return to try out more of the menu and take in the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible dining experience! I visited Mariscos La Playa with my family for my birthday and we had a fantastic time. The service was top-notch, very attentive and friendly. Each dish we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. The langostinos were divine, and the piña rellena was the highlight of the meal. It's a touch pricey but well worth it considering the quality and the amount of food you receive! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, Mariscos La Playa has became one of my go-to eateries. The seafood is incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. If you haven't tried their camarones a la diabla yet, you're missing out! I had mixed experiences with service; sometimes they are stellar, while other times slightly overwhelmed. Nevertheless, the delicious food more than compensates for it. Highly recommend bringing a group and trying a variety of dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Mariscos La Playa and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was so family-friendly. The staff was warm and welcoming, and I can see why this place is popular. I tried their pescado a la plancha and it hit all the right notes. It was perfectly grilled and seasoned. I highly recommend their aguas frescas to complement your meal! I will definitely return to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the cozy atmosphere that Mariscos La Playa provides, but my experience wasn’t perfect. While the server was friendly, the waiting time for food was longer than expected. However, the food was worth the wait! I had a delicious crab salad and a refreshing watermelon agua fresca. I'll probably return soon to see if the timing can improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I enjoyed my visit, but I encountered some issues with my order. The seafood pasta was bland and not what I expected for a seafood restaurant known for authentic flavors. While the service was excellent and our waiter did his best to make things right, I felt let down by the food this particular time. I might give it another shot and try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop thinking about the delicious meal I had here! We started with the shrimp ceviche, which was super fresh and zesty. Then I ordered the camarones a la diabla, which was cooked to perfection. The spice levels were just right! The service was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. I'll definitely be back soon!
