" Absolutely love this restaurant! The carne asada fries are to die for and have the perfect blend of spices. The service was super friendly, and I felt right at home. Plus, the portions are generous—not cheap, but worth every penny for the quality. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem in town surprised me with the friendliness of the staff and the deliciousness of their burritos! I tried the California burrito and it was enormous! Full of flavor and just the right amount of everything. Plus, their salsa was homemade and tended to elevate every bite! Can't wait to bring my friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Playa Azul for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The salsa was fresh with a nice kick, and the guacamole was superb! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively. It did feel a bit cramped at times, but the food made it worth it. I will definitely come back to try more of their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place does not live up to the hype. The burrito I ordered was dry and lacking flavor. The seating was uncomfortable, making it hard to enjoy our meal. Perhaps it was just an off day for them, but I would hesitate to return if this were the norm. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed with my visit; the service was slow and the waitress forgot my order. While the food was decent, it wasn't authentic enough for my taste. Additionally, the restaurant felt a bit cramped. I likely won't return unless I hear of major improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is definitely not a five-star location! Yes, the food can be tasty sometimes, but I had to deal with the most inattentive staff I've encountered. They messed up my order and had an odd atmosphere—almost isolating despite the attempts at a vibrant decoration. I don't think I'll be returning after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit left me incredibly disappointed. The food was lukewarm and didn’t seem fresh at all. I had to wait forever to get the waiter’s attention for a simple request. Unfortunately, I won't be returning as there are so many better options around. " (*Curated Review*)
