  How did I not know about Las Islas Del Mar? This place is great! We went on Friday night. The building is not too impressive from the outside and there were not many folks there when we arrived. There is plastic outdoor furniture if you want to eat outside. Inside it looked like a fairly typical festive Mexican restaurant albeit w/a seafood theme. The waiter showed us to a table. There were four chairs crammed around it but we pushed a couple of chairs aside and made room. We ordered margaritas which were delicious. As we were eating more and more people arrived.Our waiter was friendly, courteous, and prompt. He checked up on us multiple times and made certain we were enjoying our meal.The menu is primarily seafood based and is in both English and Spanish. While we were perusing the menu our waiter brought us a platter with flat fried tortilla shells, soda crackers, lime wedges, a green salsa, and ceviche. We’d never seen anything like that and it was amazing. The ceviche was delicious. I could be happy with a meal of just that ceviche. The salsa was fresh, bright, and really spicy. A little goes a long ways. We were off to a great beginning.For appetizers we ordered the oysters topped with shrimp and octopus. The raw oysters came covered w/chopped up langoustines, onion, pepper, cilantro, and tons of octopus which had the texture of dry mushrooms but amazing flavor. The appetizer was huge and we were getting full. The meal just kept getting better.I ordered the langostinos a la plancha and my partner got the octopus with garlic. My prawn platter came w/a mass of fries, a lettuce salad, a ball of rice, and a dozen prawns in a garlicky, buttery, spicy blend. The prawn were shell on, including head, so they were very messy to eat. But the flavor? Wow! I was licking my fingers clean. The fries could definitely have been crispier, too much starchy potato texture for my taste, but I dipped them in the sauce from my prawns and the leftover green salsa and they went down quite smoothly.We left completely stuffed, yet wanting to try so many additional items. I can’t wait to go back. This is one of my new favorites.

  Five rating for freshness. We sat down and received a stack of freshly made tostada rounds with some Ceviche and spicy green sauce. Next we ordered some tequila cocktails that were well made. The waitress was supper helpful when we ordered because the menu has traditional food from the region they are from and traditional Mexican food. I order a Pastor-Pork Burrito that was huge with rice, avocado, lettuce, cabbage, beans and pork. I did the dinner with the rice and beans. Wow house made beans and the rice was perfect…light, fluffy and fresh rice. My wife ordered the CAMARONES EL PATRN made with fresh shrimp, tons of real cheese not canned processed cheese. She does not care for rice and loved the rice they served with the dinner. Nice place, clean and family friendly. We noticed they have a little bar with maybe 6 or 8 stools on the way out. This is a must try place if you have not yet.
