    Camarones al Gusto, Garlic shrimp
    NI B.

    I ordered the "Camarones Al Gusto" which translates to shrimp to your liking. Mine were "Al Mojo de Ajo" which translates to butter and garlic. The shrimp were medium in size and the butter garlic sauce they were cooked in was good. Normally my mojo de ajo is yellow in color because of the butter and the minced garlic is usually more apparent but the dish still worked. The refried beans served with the shrimp were very good. They weren't bland and had a dark brown color to them. The rice was like a white rice with peas and carrots. Ok rice but it very much needed seasoning or something that would give it some bold flavor that would go well with the shrimp and beans but it kind of fell shy. I made a few burritos with the flour tortillas that came with the order so with everything mixed together it was pretty tasty. I ordered my daughter breaded shrimp and fries and the fries of course were soggy and limp but the seasoning they used was pretty good. I ordered delivery so I can't attest to the service or ambiance. The restaurant boasts of being delicious, I just wasn't satisfied, I have had better.

    I have eaten in lots of Mexican restaurants. But not many like Las Islitas, which is mainly focused on seafood. Yes! They have very delicious seafood and amicable customer service. The drinks at Las Islitas are excellent, with reasonable prices. Perfect match with the yummy seafood dishes here. The dining room in Las Islitas is vast and suitable for the live band show interaction with the customers. I come to Galt many times, and Las Islitas is one of the restaurants I like the most.

    Had the best asada taco today. Make sure you add the guacamole salsa, which adds such a brightness. The staff are so friendly and happy to explain any item.

    The food is always consistent and on point! As much as I love chips and salsa, they're ceviche with crackers and chips is outstanding! It's a great place to watch football or any sports that are on. There are plenty of tvs to see from any seat in the house. And they've always had nothing but great service! Even when I get a doordash,it's consistent!

    Yummy!! I love Mexican seafood. Sometimes it's hard to find so here's a place that really specializes in seafood. There's so much to choose from; they have shrimp, fish, oysters, mussels, crab legs, squid, abalone, and even chicken and beef for those who aren't into seafood. It's ALL good here. Most Mexican restaurants will give you chips and salsa before your meal but Las Islitas stepped it up and gives fish ceviche to each table free of charge. That's great customer service if you ask me. On todays visit, I had a shrimp taco and a mariachi taco (bacon wrapped shrimp taco). You heard that correctly-bacon wrapped shrimp taco. Wow what a great idea, it was delicious. The only thing I'll do different next time is, I'll get my tacos without the sauce. They put a thousand island type sauce on both types of shrimp tacos, I'm not into the sweetness. But the JALEPENO salsa they brought out to me was delicious. My waitress was friendly and attentive, everything was great. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    Best Mariscos Joint in Galt no other spot like las islitas. Must go check them out they have a full bar tons of Flatscreens to watch your favorite sport team playing while sipping a brewski

    Wonderful food. Service was solid. The flavor of the seafood in the molcajete was outstanding. My fish taco was superb... the crunch... the flavor.. on point. The seafood cocktail had lovely chunks of avocado. I'm drooling again thinking about it all. We were not asked much if we needed more of anything .... But were asked just enough.

    My taco plate (Tacos (Steak)) everything was so good 10/10

    The food was very good I got two asada tacos with beans and rice, the tacos were very good and the meals came with complementary ceviche. However the service was very slow, each dish was taken out one by one, my friend waited 20 mins after my dish came out for chicken wings. The environment however was very nice, the walls were covered in murals and on the Friday that I went there there was mariachi. I would definitely go there again but when I have more time!

    Complimentary ceviche appetizer as soon as you're seated

    We really enjoy coming here when we are in Galt. The food is always delicious and the staff is so nice and welcoming. Their happy hour prices are good and lots of tvs to watch if you like sports. Show some love and support this business, they're awesome!

    Great to be back in California. 2 big fish tacos, a street chicken taco and ceviche appetizer. All were great. Alicia was a great server and helped me through the extensive seafood menu. #spicemeister approved.

    We were in Galt taking my friend's mom out for a late lunch early dinner kind of day! This place is fairly new and a nice fun place to check out. The inside is painted with bright vibrant colors. Cool things hanging on the walls. You can say it's a sports bar kind of place. There's TVs all through the restaurant with all kinds of sports games going on!! Their menu is predominantly seafood Mexican as far as food is concerned. My friends enjoyed their seafood choices. I had the Carne Asada platter and it was good. The people here were nice and helpful. It was pretty busy so our waitress was running most of the time. If you wanted to come out with friends for a couple of drinks and watch the games....this could be the place! We'll probably come back for drinks and appetizers and watch a game or two!!

    I had a little trouble finding this place... but I'm glad I did! I had ceviche and the diablo shrimp plate both delicious. My waitress Arcelia was great. Nice vibe. Looks like a cool place to catch a game or grab a bite with the family. Maybe next time I'll bring them.

    Welll....at least every place has a fries option

    This was the first time we tried this restaurant, but it definitely won't be the last. Five stars…read moreisn't enough for this place. First, I'll say the asada and chicken tacos are very good. The meat is very well seasoned and fresh and there's a decent amount of it. I would definitely go back for those alone. But that's not the only reason this restauant deserves more than five stars... On Friday night, August 7th, my daughter had several friends over for a birthday sleepover. At 9 o'clock at night, they decided they had to have tacos. So, I quickly ordered a huge amount of different items from this restaurant through DoorDash. The food was delivered at 9:45. As soon as I opened the front door, I knew something was wrong because there was one little bag on the doorstep. Before I even opened it, I attempted to wave down the Dasher who was backing out of our driveway. He did not stop. So, I called him on the phone to tell him the order he delivered was a kids quesadilla and two tacos for someone named "Amanda." Not us. He actually laughed on the phone and very sarcastically said, "gee, that's weird. I wonder how that happened." he told me I would have to call DoorDash and he hung up! DoorDash has an option to chat. And so I got on chat and asked them to quickly re-order as the restaurant closes at 10 o'clock, and re-deliver. They said that was not an option and they offered me half of my money back. Half! I later got every penny of it back, there was no way I was tipping that driver, but I digress... I quickly called the restaurant and told them of the issue. By now it was just about 10 o'clock. The woman on the phone looked up my order and I drove to the restaurant, getting there maybe around 10:05. The dining area was spotless, the kitchen was completely clean, and there was one person, mopping the floors. These four employees, however, opened the kitchen and re-made my order for me, even though they did not have to. Now, there were certain things they could not make like the nachos or the Beria tacos because they had already closed down the fryer, but I completely understood that and they substituted with more regular tacos. These four employees went above and beyond what most other places would have done because this was not their issue, it was a mistake by DoorDash. I was out of there by about 10:15. We will definitely return to this location. It's obvious they care about their customers and their food is also very good.

It's right off the freeway so it's very convenient and the prices are super reasonable. I think we paid $12 or $13 a burrito and I had to put a ruler next to it because it was so big. Check out the photo; It's like a full 8 in and totally packed. I got some crispy tacos as well which I love and a lot of places don't offer the option of crispy so I really appreciate that. My favorite from this brand though is always the rolled tacos. They are super crispy and have lots of toppings. I will say that the food can be a little bland and definitely needs salt and maybe a little seasoning. If you love Mexican food but you can't really handle the spice, this is a great spot for you to try.
