" I always look forward to going to Mariscos Las Islitas whenever I'm in town. This visit, I brought my family, and we had a wonderful time. The staff was attentive and friendly, which made our experience even better. The kids loved the fish tacos. Because we went during peak hours, the wait for food was longer than expected, but it didn't spoil our mood. The restaurant's colorful decor and upbeat ambiance make it a great family-friendly spot! Definitely a place I would recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mariscos Las Islitas is my go-to seafood spot in town. The menu has an amazing variety of dishes, and I love that they offer options for kids too! The last time I was there, I tried the '7 mares caldo', which was a delightful mix of seafood that left me craving more. The only downside was the loud music; it was a bit much at times. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my meal without feeling like I'm part of a concert. Still, the food makes it all worthwhile, and I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many positive things, I was excited to try Mariscos Las Islitas. The location doesn’t look like much from outside, but once inside, the decor and ambiance are quite lively. However, I found the food to be average and the service lacking. Our server seemed overwhelmed and forgot one of our dishes. It’s unfortunate because I wanted to love it like everyone else does! " (*Curated Review*)

" The name Mariscos Las Islitas promised a good seafood experience, and it delivered some of it. I loved the fact that their menu had authentic flavors but occasionally, I found certain dishes to be lacking in seasoning. The waitstaff was ok, nothing to complain about, but could have been more engaging. I've been to other places where I've enjoyed the atmosphere more, as this one felt a bit too cramped. Overall, it's a fine spot, but I think I'll seek out other options before going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meal I had last Tuesday was absolutely scrumptious. I can’t believe the portion sizes - I felt like I got a great deal for the money. The tacos tasted fresh and bursting with rich flavors. Unfortunately, the wait to be seated was a bit lengthy, which made the experience start off rocky. But once we were at our table and got the food, my grouchiness dissipated! The servers were friendly, though perhaps a touch overwhelmed, but overall, I’d say it was a satisfying meal. I highly recommend their seafood cocktails! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mariscos Las Islitas last weekend with my family, and I must say, we were pleasantly surprised! The shrimp tacos were to die for, made with fresh ingredients. The service was prompt, and everyone there made us feel welcome. We especially enjoyed the vibrant environment; it really added to our dining experience. My only complaint would be the slight wait we had for drinks, but it was worth it for the food! We're excited to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Saturday was our second visit to Mariscos Las Islitas as we had a great time on our first trip. Sadly, this time around the experience was underwhelming. The service was incredibly slow, despite the restaurant not being too busy. After what felt like an eternity, our food arrived cold and uninspired. It was disappointing since I remembered the food being fresh and vibrant before. The atmosphere is lively, but I think I'll take a long break from returning after this outing. " (*Curated Review*)
