Isla Azul

Hello, FOOD SNOB here. Isla Azul means Blue Island. For the street its on. As I parked on the street and was ready to put money in the meter, a man yelled out to me in spanish. Then I knew it was a hispanic neighborhood. I said «no comprenda», he than spoke english. As far as this joint, and it is a joint. All BLUE booths when you go in. Kind of a diner and fish market when you go in. There specialty is CEVICHE. Fish marinated in lime juice. The acid in the juice cooks the fish. This is also a specialty of Frontera Grill in Chicago, which I am hoping to try soon. However much more reasonable in price. House specialty here is TOSTDADA DI CEVICHE. It could be Shrimp, Crab, Herring, Calimari, or Octupus. I had the crab and the herring. The crab was the imitation kind BUT it was reaaly good mixed with onion, tomatoe, celery, and jalepeno. The herring was even better. Its great if you like ceviche or something different. Its a lighter type meal, but very tastey. They even have Menudo and different soups. My secretary who told me about this place brought to work some shrimp diablo she had left over. Even after she heated it up in the microwave it tasted great.
THANKS YOLIE!
