Las Islitas No 1

Found this place in LA we had Aguachiles, Langostinos, and tosta Mixta! Everything was delicious would definitely bring my family here!

I like this place I highly recommend it if you like authentic Mexican mariscos they have great service, the food is delicious plus you can BYOB listen to live Banda & Noteñas

This place is tucked away near my boyfriend’s house. We passed by several times and decided to try it. The first time we tried to come to this place it was about 3pm on a Saturday… Mistake! No parking and crazy lines… But we heard live music and saw people carrying in beer. We can back the following week around 1pm on Saturday, brought our own beer and had a seat. The complimentary ceviche is delicious. We ordered shrimp ceviche, and the camarones cucarachas, in the shell. I’ve now been back 5 times… All for the camarones cucarachas. I’m not sure how they cook those things but they are mouthwatering, spicy and to die for. The ceviche and cocteles are good too! I highly recommend this place, but make sure you come before the weekend crowd hits!

Food is delicious! Always get more for what you paid for. I’m always ordering pick up and they out do themselves by always giving me more for what I ask.
They usually have live music playing which gives the atmosphere an A+. One disadvantage is parking. Good luck finding parking on weekends.

And this place still rocks !! Great good And the best of all great service by Cynthia !!

ATMOSPHERE:
As Mexican as it can get, nothing fancy, very simple. My first impression of this restaurant was, this a house turned into a restaurant? I went on a monday and they had the jukebox playing full blast playing banda music.(typical)
FOOD:
Nayarit Style sea food, which if you are Mexican you already know that’s a good thing. Personally, Nayarit people (Coras) make the best Mexican Style sea food.
PRICES:
Moderate, not super cheap, but moderate $ 2 Cola Cola (Mexican Glass Bottle)
Tostadas $ 2.99– 5.99. Oysters $ 13(dozen) not bad and lastly what I order which were the cucharacha shirmp plate w/​rice and salad $ 12.99 decent price and portion
**BONUS**
BYOB, that’s awesome for the borrachos bring your 12 pack… lol

Was in much need of some Mariscos for the Cruda… for being an outta towner and first time hitting this spot… Must say it was the Bomb! Well worth the drive. It was packed but it is a big place which makes u feel u in Mexico. Just when u get there sign up right away on the wait list to get seated since a lot of people would get there, hang out and might not know. But right after u order doesn’t take much when here comes ur grub. We got cócteles de campechana and Camarón, a dozen oysters and a tostada de ceviche de Camarón… DELISH! And what makes it better is that u can BRING UR OWN BEER!!! just don’t forget the Michelada cups… But no worry they do prepare it for u to pour your own beer but will cost u $ 3 but totally worth it. They also got the bandas playing if u enjoy a Lil music with ur grub And the pricing is fair when I know for what I got probably would’ve been double elsewhere. Will definitely spread the word and come back for more.

this place is one of the better mariscos places in los angeles
I highly recommend the molcajetes and camarones al mojo de ajo
and its BYOB so its great only annoying part is that damn guy in the wheel chair selling all kinds of trinkets hes bugs also kids selling flowers are annoying isn’t there child labor laws in the hood ?
parking is right across the street !!!
but I recommend this place for food and drinks

Good food but terrible service. I went to eat inside. Waited more than 5 min still no one to take my order. (There were only 3 other people eating) change my mind and order take out instead. Waited 20 min for someone to call my order number. Went to the counter to see what is happening. Turns out they already had my order and it was just sitting there.

This place was okay, price was reasonable according to the person I was with so if you like Mexican music and mariscos then this is the place for you. Oh and if you drink then take your own beer, look for an empty table, and take a seat.

I love that u can take yr own booze. They sale premade michelada cups and its bomb! The food isn’t great but its a chill spot. Food is cheap and they have a live banda sometimes. Four stars because its a chill atmosphere.

This place is really good and very inexpensive. They have live mexican music and it is always friendly staff. The place a bit weird from the outside, but you will be surprised. There is not a lot of parking on the weekends.

Food is so good. it do get kind of crazy busy and food does take a while sometimes but its well worth it.

I’ve been coming to this spot for a while but never left a review. If you have ever watched the movie from dusk till dawn this is that kinda place it’s as if you walked right into Mexico and into a dive bar enviorment with amazing seafood. There’s guys getting drunk with the BYOB rule arguing over who knows while the guy on the wheelchair is selling everything under the sun and if you roll up and feel like drinking like the locals then there’s a runner that’ll take a trip to liquor store for you and pick you up a case of your drink of choice for a little tip. It’s a pirate bar in full effect and I love everytine I come here

Well, the musical atmosphere is cool, the BYOB rule is cool… the food… ehhhh. the cócteles lack flavor (they are the water based type, not the clamato type) the oysters are pretty bland, and the tostadas are probably the best of the bunch. 4 people will be about $ 50 including sodas. Ive has way better. Won’t be back unless I wanna get a good buzz.

Food was good, everything was fresh but… I guess there employees think that everybody comes here to get drunk and lose track of stuff we order. SPECIALLY WHEN IS A GROUP OF 15 people!!! They over charged me thinking Ima pay 6 extra plates just because we’re drinking? They think we won’t notice?! They over charged me 100 $ and expected me to be good with that! Out of all of us I don’t drink and yes I kept track. and not to mention the fights that go down in this place r crazy. The security guard pepper spraying ppl as if he doesn’t know that shit spreads and there’s ppl eating all around that with kids .And to top it off instead of worrying about his broken nose he’s hassling us about our bill and that we need to pay. I don’t recommend this place whatsoever even if u could bring ur own beer. This was the First n last time we come here.

If you’re looking for mariscos, this is the place to go! Amazing food with legit prices. Super chill vibe with plastic tables and chairs outside. Good place to go on a hot summer day. Must try is the Molcajites!

BOOOM! Found an AMAZINGGGG! Seafood Spot! Long wait but well worth it!
Bring your own Beer though. Their Ceviche de Camaron is soooo Good!
they have live music it literally feels like your in Mexico with Banda playing in the background. Their Camarones al mojo de ajo are super good too! if you want to enjoy a nice day out with family or friends this is the place to go!
CASH ONLY!

I work nearby at 55^th st Market and it is hot as hell today! So I wanted to get some ceviche and just seafood in general. Damn this place is pretty good!
Enough of the fast food around here, I’m probably going to pick up food from here all the time.
I did feel a little out of place but the place looks like a great place to just kick back with friends and family and drink!

Ordered 3 molcajetes TO-​GO on new years day. $ 25ea. $ 75 flat, cash only.
All 3 were garlic style and I should’ve at least gotten 1 of them spicy. Both are delicious but missed the spicy one
Well worth the drive! It was a bit after 10:30 and it was not packed, everyone must have still been hungover lol
