" Every time I visit Las Islitas, I'm reminded of home! The seafood dishes remind me of family gatherings back in Mexico. The shrimp cocktail is sweet, spicy, and fresh with plenty of shrimp in it, something that's hard to find elsewhere. The service staff is typically good, though I have faced delays during busy weekend nights. Still, the lively music and the warm atmosphere make it a wonderful place to unwind with friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite let down by my recent visit to Las Islitas. I ordered the mixed seafood platter, and while the variety was impressive, the seafood was not as fresh as I had hoped. Some of the shrimp tasted off, and I regret not complaining at the time. The service was painfully slow, and the atmosphere was marred by the excessive noise from the musicians trying to sell their songs. I used to love this place, but my last experience has made me hesitant to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Islitas is a mixed bag for me. While the food is usually delicious, I've had some bad experiences with service inconsistencies. On one occasion, my food took over an hour to arrive. However, when I was finally served, my camarones empanadas were exceptional and bursting with flavor! I still find it worth returning to, hoping for a better service experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful discovery Las Islitas turned out to be! My husband and I were looking for some good ocean-side cuisine, and we found it here. The pescado zarandeado stole the show—cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The vibrant atmosphere made our evening special, enhanced by live music that created a festivity in the air. The staff was welcoming, making us feel at home. Our only issue was that the dishes took a bit longer than we expected to arrive. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we’ll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family celebrated Mother's Day at Las Islitas, and it was an experience to remember! The mariscos molcajete was absolutely divine, filled with a variety of seafood that was fresh and perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the live music throughout our meal, though at times it was a bit too loud, making it hard to hear each other. Service was adequate but not exceptional; we had to remind our server for drink refills. In any case, the quality of the food brought smiles to our faces and made up for minor service delays. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was let down by my visit. For a restaurant that markets itself as having authentic Mexican seafood, the dishes fell short. My ceviche was bland and lacked the acidity I was expecting. I felt my server was inattentive; it took an unreasonably long time for our food to arrive, and when it got there, it was lukewarm. An enjoyable atmosphere, but unfortunately, I won't be returning based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give Las Islitas a higher rating, but my recent experience was unfortunate. The food was decent, but the service was dreadful. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it arrived, some of our dishes were either missing ingredients or not as described on the menu. The atmosphere was decent, but it didn’t make up for the lack of attention to service. Perhaps some lessons in organization would help this place shine. " (*Curated Review*)
