" I don’t understand the hype. The food was mediocre at best. The carne asada was dry, and the service felt too rushed. The atmosphere was lively but a bit overwhelming. It might work better for large groups but not for an intimate dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Costa Azul, but my experience was a mixed bag. The food was tasty, especially the enchiladas, but my friend had an undercooked burrito. The server was friendly but a little inattentive. The atmosphere was lively, which I loved, but I found it quite loud for a conversation. Overall, I think it has potential and I might give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place for casual dining! The chips and salsa are a must-have, and the carne asada is delicious. I love how friendly the staff are, and the prices here are quite good for the quality. Just a warning, it can get very busy on weekends, so plan accordingly. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! Their ceviche is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The atmosphere is always lively, and the service is friendly. The prices are reasonable for such quality food too. I never leave disappointed. Can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is festive, but be prepared for loud music! The food was generally good, but my experience was disappointing because my meal was overcooked. I think the ingredients were fresh, but they could step up their cooking game. The service was polite, but our waiter disappeared for long stretches. I'd give it another shot, maybe on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, we had dinner at Costa Azul. The rice and beans were superb, and the salsa bar was impressive. The only downside was waiting a little while for our meals to arrive, but they made up for it with short apologies. I’d come back to try other dishes for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Costa Azul never fails to impress! The food is always fresh, and I love the generous portions. My go-to is the tacos de carnitas. They're simply amazing! The staff is super friendly, making every visit enjoyable. This is always a must-visit for me. " (*Curated Review*)
