" I recently tried Isla Del Pacifico for the first time and I was completely blown away! The shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor and the fresh pico de gallo was a perfect addition. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, which enhanced the whole dining experience. Our service was top-notch as well; our waitress was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience overall! The food was amazing, especially the ceviche and tacos. The place can be a bit noisy, especially during peak hours, but the delicious food balanced it out. I did wish that the service was slightly faster, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place wowed me! The seafood was incredibly fresh, particularly the ceviche. It’s evident that they prioritize quality ingredients. However, it can get a bit crowded during peak times, making the experience less relaxing. Overall, fantastic food and I can’t wait to share it with friends! A gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" The true taste of Mexico right here in Iowa! I had the mariscos and they were to die for! Juicy, well-seasoned and served in generous portions. The restaurant is compact but cozy, creating a warm atmosphere. Only downside was some language barrier with the staff, but they were eager to help. I would come back any day! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little hidden gem! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they know what they’re doing. Tried the fish tacos and they were simply delectable!

" I had a totally unexpected experience here! The food was rich in flavor, and definitely hits that authentic note. The calamari was perfectly cooked. However, the seating arrangements could be improved as it felt tight at times. Service was alright, but not as helpful as I hoped. I would return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here! The fish tacos were exceptionally good and the atmosphere was charming. The staff was friendly but sometimes seemed a bit distracted. All in all, I’d recommend this place for those looking for authentic flavors! I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)
