" We came here on a whim to try some authentic seafood, and we weren’t disappointed! The empanadas were crispy and filled perfectly. Although the space was a bit cramped, the food brought us joy, and we couldn’t stop raving about the flavor. The waitress was friendly, which brightened up the experience. Will definitely return sooner than later! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit left me wanting more. I had the coctel de camarón, which was nice but not as memorable as I had hoped. The seasoning felt off, and I noticed a few issues with cleanliness. The ambiance could use some improvement too; it felt cluttered. However, the staff was attentive and friendly, so that was a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" A bit disappointed by my latest experience. I ordered the campechana, and while it was fresh, it didn’t have enough shrimp. I’ve had way better elsewhere. The ambiance wasn’t great either; it felt cluttered. I don’t know if I will return, but I might give it a shot on a quieter day since I’ve heard so many good things! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Las Islas Marias with high hopes after hearing great things from friends. I ordered the ceviche and it was delightful! The flavors were vibrant and fresh, truly reflecting the authentic style of Mexican seafood. I also enjoyed a refreshing michelada which paired excellently with my meal. My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow, but it was a busy evening. Overall, I would definitely return for more great seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Islas Marias has some of the freshest, most flavorful seafood around! I always get their ceviche, which has the perfect balance of tang and spice. Additionally, the ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for gatherings. Despite a few hiccups in service, the food keeps me coming back. I love this place and will continue to recommend it warmly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how good the shrimp empanadas were! They were perfectly fried with a deliciously spicy green salsa on the side. I also had the fish tacos, which were delightful. The portion sizes were generous but the service was somewhat patchy; I had to flag down the waiter a couple of times. If the service were a bit quicker, this spot would definitely be a 5-star in my book! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! We dined on a Sunday afternoon. The seafood was fresh and tasted incredible! The prices were reasonable considering the large portions served. The staff was friendly yet busy, leaving us to enjoy our meal without being rushed. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves quality seafood! " (*Curated Review*)
