" My experience at Playa Azul was unfortunately subpar. The food was bland, and the service was noticeably slow. I had high hopes since I've heard so much about this restaurant, but it didn't live up to the hype. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I left disappointed. I hope to see improvements in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a gem! Playa Azul is hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've visited in the area. The mole was exquisite, and the portions were so generous that I had leftovers for days. The staff treated us like family and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at Playa Azul was decent, I expected more based on the reviews. My burrito was ok, but it did not have the authentic flavor I was hoping for. The service was satisfactory, but the restaurant felt slightly cramped. I might return, but it would not be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended Playa Azul by a friend, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was huge! The meat was tender and flavorful, wrapped in a warm tortilla. The only downside was the wait time; it took longer than I expected, but the delicious food made up for it. I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Playa Azul! The burritos are huge and filling. Each bite was delicious and satisfying. The service was excellent throughout our visit, with staff checking on us regularly. The ambiance is charming and feels like a family-run establishment. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's truly a shame when a restaurant doesn't live up to expectations. Playa Azul has gotten rave reviews, yet my experience was rather mediocre. The tamales were overcooked, and the service, while friendly, was a bit scattered. Maybe I just visited on an off day, but I wouldn't hurry back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my takeout order from Playa Azul. The food was lukewarm upon arrival and the flavor was mediocre. The service in-house might be better, but I suggest dining in for a more authentic experience. I won't call it a complete failure, but it left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)
