" My experience here was quite disappointing. The service staff seemed overwhelmed and our order took an eternity. The food was tasty, but the long wait for service significantly diminished the enjoyment. I really wanted to love it based on the reviews, but this time it missed the mark. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant was really good! I had the seafood platter and it was delightful. Fresh fish, perfectly cooked shrimp, and the sauces were just right. The chips and salsa were free, which is always a great touch! The only downside was that the place was a bit crowded and noisy, but that just shows how popular it is! I'm looking forward to our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good experience! The calamari was well-cooked and nicely spiced. I also liked the salsa that came with the chips. The only drawback was the service, which was a bit slow and forgetful. Still, the food gives this place its charm. I'll give it another chance down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best seafood I’ve found in Des Moines! Each dish tasted like it was made with love and the ingredients were fresh. The staff could be friendlier, but they were still efficient. I’ll definitely recommend to friends looking for authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed the food quite a bit, especially the tacos, which were quite authentic. However, the service was a mixed bag; I had to ask for my drink refill a couple of times. The environment is busy, which lends a certain energy to the restaurant but can get a little loud. Overall, a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
