" A decent option if you're in the area. The chips weren't fresh, and the salsa could use some kick. However, the enchiladas were good, and the portion sizes were reasonable. The service staff was attentive, which added to the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was festive, and I enjoyed the decor. I had their special dish, the molcajete, and it was truly the highlight of my meal. Bursting with flavors and nicely presented! However, the service was a bit slow, which kept me from giving it a full five-star rating. Nonetheless, I would return for that molcajete alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and the service was attentive. However, I had mixed feelings about the food. I ordered the mole, which lacked depth in flavor and was a bit too sweet for my liking. My partner enjoyed the fajitas and thought they were well-cooked. I'd consider coming back to try something different but won't go in expecting high authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the best place for Mexican food! My friends and I celebrated a birthday here, and it was perfect. The service was attentive, the food was fresh and authentic! We enjoyed every bit of our meal—each dish was packed with flavor. I highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting great Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went hoping for authentic flavors and was met with some overly bland dishes. The chips were stale, which really disappointed me. The service was good, but food quality is the main reason for my low overall rating. I think I might give this place another chance in the future, but for now, I can't say I was impressed.

" 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*)
