" Absolutely fantastic! I visited with friends and we tried several dishes. The highlights were the street tacos and the queso dip; they were seasoned perfectly! The service was prompt and friendly. The best part: the prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to come back for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I had high hopes but was let down by the food. The tacos were overly greasy, and the salsa was too chunky for my taste. The environment was decent, but it didn't make up for the lack of taste in the food. The wait for service was longer than expected as well, which added to my frustration. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience here! The food was fantastic, especially the carne asada tacos. The service was quick, and the waitress was super friendly. The only downside would be the atmosphere - it's just a bit loud during peak hours. However, I'd definitely recommend Puerto Jaivo and will return for more delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was good but the portions were small for the price you pay. I ordered the tamales, and the flavor was nice, but I just wish there had been more on my plate. The service was friendly but the wait times were a bit excessive. Might try again on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Puerto Jaivo multiple times, and I've generally enjoyed my meals here. The chicken enchiladas I ordered were flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous for the price. I wish the chips were fresher, though. Overall, a solid option when I'm craving Mexican food. I will keep returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a disappointing experience at Puerto Jaivo. The ambiance looked promising, but the food left much to be desired. My burrito was bland, and the chips tasted stale. While the waitress was friendly, the service felt slow and disorganized. I really wanted to love this place since I enjoy Mexican cuisine, but I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a lovely dinner at Puerto Jaivo. Each dish was fresh and packed with flavor, and the margaritas were refreshing. The only downside was a longer wait time, but our server was apologetic and attentive. I'd definitely give this place another shot! " (*Curated Review*)
