Las Islitas

I almost hate writing this but hopefully it gets read by management and they can improve on it. My experience here was on a weekday night. It was busier than expected. I sat down and it took about 20 minutes for anyone to take our drink orders. I didn’t mind waiting at the time because I was with family and took it as bonding time before dinner. We flagged our waitress down because she wouldn’t come even close to our table to take our orders. Takes over an hour to bring the first plate to our table. Then another plate every ten minutes it seemed like. Our family ate one at a time. The food was either over cooked, under cooked or no flavor at all. I had the garlic shrimp that were just bathed in butter with no garlic flavor at all. Our shrimp empanadas were sent back because they were still frozen in the middle. Then the bacon wrapped shrimp were beyond fried dry. I was upset and let them know but from what I was told there was no manager on site at the time. I had a horrible time there. Would recommend let alone come back.

I’m really not a fan of Spanish seafood joints, but the in-​laws want to roll by this place before a nite of Daddy Yankee VS Don Omar at the Grand Garden Arena. We had the Piña mix seafood and the shrimp empanadas with the «free» deep fried ice cream (just for checking in on Unilocal). Didn’t really care for the Piña since the pineapple made the dish a little sweeter than I liked. The wife enjoyed the empanadas with her Micheladas. Our daughter had the carne burritos, but nothing to write home about. All in all… 2.5−3 stars due to slow, but nice service. At least they had a couple of big screens on the wall playing the NBA finals and international soccer games.
However, 2 for 1 Micheladas will most likely have the wife and in-​laws wanting to frequent this joint, but I think my daughter and I will say… «thank you, but no thank you please».

Food was shit and really expensive, the wait for the food was terrible. Never coming here again

The only star is for the bomb ass michelada but in reality how can you mess up a beer with Clamato. Aside from our sour faced waitress which applies to all the waitresses here, the food was crap. Maybe bc I’m from OC and we have amazing Mexican food in every corner but I expected at least tolerable food. I ordered shrimp tacos which came 3 to an order and they were crispy so as soon as I took a bite I almost vomitted ! Who puts crumbled shrimp in tacos ?? Disgusting ! When I told the waitress that I expected whole shrimp in the tacos she said, oh no it’s not. I have eaten in Nayarit, Mexico and know that they have the best mariscos but this was an abomination! Stay away !

Over priced seafood. No flavor. The shrimp was over cooked. Oysters were the only good food. Everyone had stomach issues after they ate there. I don’t think the seafood was fresh. Nasty.

Food is not good and it’s expensive. Service was really bad. Never again am I eating here.

Food is good a bit over priced, service is really bad. They need more staff it took us over 20 minutes to get refills on drinks. If you’re a female be ready to be checked out by all the guys there, most are always tipsy. Some will even send you drinks & they don’t care if you’re with someone.

Came here tonight to watch the USA vs MX soccer game :-) The camarones de patron was delicious and the homemade corn tortillas too! The dish was made with white cheese and grilled bell peppers which was a nice combination. I really liked the white rice with vegetables too. My only complaint would be that the shrimp was a little over cooked but other than that the food was very good. I also enjoyed the crispy chips and hot salsa. muy picoso!

The food is good and when you go with a large group its really fun but the last couple times i went with a group the mariachi over charged us from what they usually charged us and the last 2 times i went in the day with my husband the waitress for got my appetizers :-/​. But the food is good.

My sweet mother wanted Mariachi! My sweet mother got Mariachi! My gorgeous father wanted coffee… damn straight he got coffee! Even if it meant the manager had to run across the street to get him some!
This is the restaurant my mama chose to celebrate out here in Vegas! She’s been to the other locations but came here because they had the Mariachi and didn’t have a crazy 2 hour waiting time! Unbeknownst to my sister she used handy-​dandy Unilocal to find it (she went through google! I know the horror)! Came to check out the location and made the reservation!
We arrived and were seated immediately! Tables were already set up and just had to add a couple more as more family members showed up! Had drink orders and appetizers on the table quickly! Had Mariachi music blaring in my ear! It was great! :)
Finally our food arrived! My niece and I both ordered the Seafood Molcajete and the Carne Molcajete! So we could taste each others dish! They were huge! Everything was delicious! Everything we ordered was great! The oysters, Agua Chiles, and an appetizer with avocado and shrimp that was really good!
Great service from the waitress! She was very quick with our requests and dishes! The Mariachi was great too! 15 dollars a song! You bet they were singing their hearts out!
The FIVE stars? When my dad wanted coffee… The restaurant doesn’t serve COFFEE! When the manager found out he took it upon himself to go get some across the street just for my pops!
No complaints! We had a great night!

Good micheladas and descent food but what grossed me out was all the dead flies on the raid trap. like yuck i am trying to eat here. The live band was getting on my last nerve thou. A lil quite time wouldn’t hurt since my friends and i wanted to conversate a bit.

My family and I usually come here because it’s the only place we can all agree with the food choices here. Been coming here for a couple of years and not had changed.
The food is decent nice proportions ok priced. We normally get shrimp ceviche, shrimp coctel, and oysters. This time around my mom got some fish tacos which looked really good. The shrimp empanadas are also pretty good.
The only thing I hate about this place is when they have music. They got a jukebox and most of the time 2 or so groups playing music. If you’re sitting in the middle you can hear the jukebox and the bands playing. All that makes it so loud you have to talk very loud for the people to hear you.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but was highly surprised with the experience.
Service was good for starters. That was surprising since the place was packed. Atmosphere was live and entertaining with the mariachi band in the background.
I ordered the garlic shrimp plate and a Pacifica beer. When my plate arrived my eyes lite up to the amount of food that was on the plate. It was enough for two maybe the people to split. Flavors of the shrimp melted in my mouth. It was so good I didn’t want to wash it down with the beer but I had to or else.
Needless to say I left happy. And want to go back. Highly recommended

Mixed reviews for this place since it depends on the kind of seafood you’re used to eating and who you ask…
I ordered a Tostada De Camaron (cosido) and Tostada De Ceviche (de camaron)
However, I didn’t eat the ceviche since it was straight raw shrimp! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shrimp ceviche but it has to be marinated in lime juice (aka «cooked» in the citrus) But if you’re ok with the raw shrimp, you’ll probably love it. The presentation of it was perfect, with red onions & avocado…
The actual cooked camaron tostada was horrible! No flavor whatsoever! No salt, no lime, no salsa, nothing! It simply taste like they just boiled the shrimp in water and threw it on the tostada with chopped cucumbers and tomatoes… I must’ve added at least 4 lemon slices with half a tsp of salt and still did nothing to give that tostada any flavor…
Huge Disappointment!

Terrible service! Over an hour wait to get our food. The waiter had an attitude. The food was poor quality. Beverages are served in plastic cups. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Not coming back!

Its a good place to eat but very loud, but the food is amazing. The parking is ok. They cook the fish great, the cocktails are made beautifully with just the right amount of lemon and salt.

Well… don’t come here expecting a fancy seafood restaurant, they have plastic silverware. However, I really enjoy the seafood from there and I hope it’s clean. I always order the shrimp tostadas (they have a good selection of bottled salsas) and the camaron al aguachile. Every time I go there I have to drink a Pacifico preparada (similar to a bloody mary but replace the vodka with beer). In my opinion, they have the best preparadas in town.
There are three different locations, most are in the Northern side of town. I would definitely go more often if they had a location that was closer. They also have a band play or guitarists that will sing you a song.

Good service, the waitresses are very friendly! I had good tasting oysters. I also had ceviche de camaron it was good too so were the empanadas. The micheladas could be better.

Oysters were not fresh. Between two, we ordered a dozen and my partner and I only had 2 each. I was afraid to get food poisoning .
The Camarones con aguacate are delicious but beware… they cost $ 28!!! Definitely not worth the price.

I have heard about this place for years but never made it here until this year finally!!! This place feels and looks like you’ve just gone to Mexico. I order a molcajetes it came out still cooking, it was so good. They have the best micheladas I have ever had!!! This place is definite worth the stop but next time I would stop there on the way to Vegas rather than on the way home.
