Good food and friendly service has been my my family's experience over the years. The interior space has a nice ambiance, especially for the entertainment nights they have. read more

Great fish tacos and lemonade. Chicken and shrimp tacos very good. Clean, easy parking

Las Islitas in Watsonville was a disappointment, attached the bill, they charge me without telling me it cost extra, each 1 plain tostada cost me 1.00, we ordered a caldo de pescado, it should come with tortilla o tostadas, and I ordered a side salsa for my fajitas because they were a little dry, the waitress Lucero didn't advise me if I ordered salsa on the side they would charge be 8.99, the drinks tasted like syrup, the tortillas for my fajitas were old and falling apart. Not a good experience. Food had no taste, beans were not fresh. Disappointed read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - Very disappointed in the service, the food and the prices. They charge you 1 dollar per 1 individual plain tostada - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my food but I got some green aguachiles, cóctel de camarón with pulpo y sin pulpo, as well as a plate de camarón empanizado which were super good 10/10. This restaurant is on the pricier side imo.,, but it's good !! Service was great ! I went in person cs I tried to call to place an order but the number on google was not the right one LOL? Anyways super cool inside the ambiance was vibey lmao music was great read more

Food is really good drinks and cayo are my favorite service is good I will definitely come back

Food- Off the hook! Easily my favorite place for some fish or shrimp tacos. Very underrated on the quality of food, it's just damn good food. Service- They could be better, there for sure has been times where either me or my boyfriend has been treated with rudeness by waiters, or as though they're in a "rush". Another downside is asking for any "add on" sides may get very pricey. I once asked for avocado and I think we were charged 2 bucks and were given maybe a fourth of an avocado Ambience- if you want a peaceful, quiet place this isn't it. No privacy really. I've came in plenty of times where the tables are sticky or dirty with food, might just be lack of workers? I give a four stars because the food is so good it outweighs everything else for me read more

I placed an order over the phone and this is what I came home to... Purchased two orders of Tacos Gobernador and 12 empanadas de camarón con queso. Do not recommend this place. read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - Tacos Gobernador - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

I ordered "Pasta Las Islitas" via DoorDash for lunch today. I had ordered this item previously and it was delicious pasta cooked al dente with seafood. The amount provided in the order was enough for 2 people.... I ordered it again and received overcooked pasta, with five pieces of overcooked, broccoli, and a few pieces of chicken. Yuck! The cost for this lunch item was $26.65... (See the picture).... I called the restaurant twice. They did not answer. I left a message requesting a call back. No one ever called me back. I like the seafood from this restaurant. But, given this experience, I will not be ordering from there again. read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - Pasta Las Islitas (overcooked pasta, overcooked broccoli, a few pieces of chicken) - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

It was the only thing open late on a Saturday. It was not properly prepared nor was it any good. Beans and rice were very cold and so were the tortillas. The service wasn't bad and the fact that they had karaoke and dj was super exciting. If you don't order food and just there for drinks and entertainment then this is the place to go. Eat before coming. Note: Security at the door. read more

I ordered the tacos governador...I got tacos with lots of onions and tomatoes ohh and 7 small small shrimp. This is ridiculous and poor food service. I will never again order from here. In this pic I posted..all those tomatoes and onions came out of the 3 tacos I ordered. So sad read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - I ordered the tacos governador and this is what I got. A bunch of tomatoes with onions and 7 small shrimp. - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

Best shrimp empanadas!! Shrimp ceviche is good too! I'm from Nayarit, so Las islitas is a must for me! read more

- Wow this place is a 51-50. I am so not impressed. I love the music, and the amazing staff. The food however I'm not a fan. 3 people ordered a shrimp cocktail with a little twist. None of them had any flavor. I never, EVER needed to look around for different hot sauces to give a shrimp cocktail flavor. I feel liked they just used red food color in water. It just tasted like shrimp flavored water. I'm sorry it was the worse shrimp cocktail I've ever had. I wish I had asked the owner this question, "when did you realize that your chef gave up on believing in his food skills?" The staff was the best, but the food killed it. Sorry I won't be back there any time soon... - Wow este lugar es un 51-50. No estoy tan impresionado. Me encanta la música, y el personal increíble. La comida sin embargo no soy un fan. 3 personas ordenaron un cóctel de camarones con un pequeño toque. Ninguno de ellos tenía sabor. Nunca, NUNCA tuve que buscar diferentes salsas picantes para darle un sabor a cóctel de camarones. Siento que solo usaban colorante rojo en el agua. Sólo sabía a camarones con sabor a agua. Lo siento, fue el peor cóctel de camarones que he tenido. Me hubiera gustado haberle preguntado al propietario esta pregunta: "¿cuándo se dio cuenta de que su chef dejó de creer en sus habilidades culinarias?" El personal era el mejor, pero la comida lo mató. Lo siento, no volveré allí pronto. - Wow ang lugar na ito ay 51-50. Hindi ako nagulat. Gustung-gusto ko ang musika, at ang kahanga-hangang tauhan. Ang pagkain subalit hindi ako isang tagahanga. 3 tao ang nag-order ng isang hipon cocktail na may isang maliit na iuwi sa ibang bagay. Wala sa kanila ang anumang lasa. Hindi ko kailanman kailangan ang pagtingin sa iba't ibang mga mainit na sarsa upang makapagbigay ng hipon cocktail flavor. Pakiramdam ko ay nagustuhan nilang ginamit lamang ang pulang kulay ng pagkain sa tubig. Natutunaw lamang ito tulad ng hipon na tubig na may lasa. Ikinalulungkot ko na ang mas masahol na cocktail na hipon na mayroon na ako. Nais kong itanong sa may-ari ang tanong na ito, "kailan mo napagtanto na ang iyong chef ay sumuko sa paniniwala sa kanyang mga kasanayan sa pagkain?" Ang kawani ay ang pinakamahusay, ngunit pinatay ito ng pagkain. Ikinalulungkot ko na hindi ako bumalik sa anumang oras sa lalong madaling panahon ... read more

It's in a shopping center. There was parking it was cool considering we went with a parking of 25 people. They made a huge table for the kids and adults. There was live music and a jukebox pretty cool. Drinks were good and good was a good size. For my family a party of 3 it was $30. I thought that was good considering what we purchased and the size . I would definitely return. read more

Fresh seafood, plenty of parking. I had the torre de mariscos... reasonably priced at $15. Perfectly blend of lime, and Chile seasoning. Some of the menu items are a bit on the pricier side. read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - Torre de mariscos... not on the menu. You have to ask specifically for it. - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

i came to eat here a few weekends ago and first of all the music was way too loud or maybe im just sensitive to that, secondly it took them awhile to notice us and bring us the menus then they took another long while to take our order, lastly i decided to get the caldo de camarón and i expected more, there was no vegetables, there was only a few shrimps and to top it off it was super super salty. My freind got the ceviche de pescado and same thing it was too salty! i would recommend la fogata on union street in Watsonville, its quiet and the service and food are excellent!! read more

this place is horrible and not following COVID-19 regulations. The server was useless and didnt clean the tables with cleaning products. We ordered empanadas, molcajete de mariscos, molcajete de mixta de carne. The empanadas were uncooked, the molcajete de mariscos was super spicy even though I asked for it not to be spicy, and the molcajete mixta only had one piece of meat and a thing slice of chicken. I don't recommend this place because of the food and because I got the runs! read more

I have ate at two other Las Isilitas location, I don't know if Las Isilitas is a chain restaurant or if they are related in anyway, however, the menu is very similar. I was expecting that a seafood restaurant near the beach would be delicious. I say near because the Isilitas I have been to are about 2.5hrs away from the beach. Food: I had the shrimp empanadas, I was very disappointed to see only 1-2 shrimp in per empanada. We also ordered a moraja, which was plain it was not season. Service: Not great but understand given the circumstance as it was only one waitress for the whole restaurant, which had guest at 10 tables. - No table check after food and no refills *This was about 11am on a Friday. read more

La comida es muy rica. The food is really good. The salsa is one of the best. The service is okay. But sometimes the Music is way too loud and you CAN'T enjoy the company. On weekends I understand the have Music at night but is the afternoon is the same. They NEVER answer the phone read more

No no no food is average but kitchen looks filthy also restrooms. We had Ceviche and Cocteles and seemed like day old or over stayed shrimp in refrigerator The BIG negative for me was eating the waitress speak politics with clients being racists against her own race won't be participating in ambience of negativity plus low quality food don't care much for service or food or men handling my food in a unsanitary way Peace out. read more

The best best best agua chilies in the county. The langonstinas are to die for, now it is a little pricey but its GREAT seafood and good quality so i never mind the price. Their agua chile is spicy and so fresh and good. I normally make in there once a week. Islitas is the best kept seafood secret in town. PS This restaurant is locally owned no chains here :) read more

Ordered some camarones a a díabla, empanadas de camarón and some aguachiles verdes for pick up. My husbands plate was a good size & good amount of food, but $18 for a cup of aguachiles? What the heck! Such a rip off! Paid +$50 dollars for a plate and cup of shrimp. Can you say any more greedy? read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - $17 for this cup of aguachiles !!! Nothing else! - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

Order 2 shrimp tacos which were really good and some coctel, which was bland. The service is pretty good . Would definitely recommend read more

Las Islitas Mariscos - Mexican Near Me - Watsonville, California

The food here is gross, over priced, they take forever to take your order and to bring out your food (almost a whole hour). There are way better places to go to then here. Don't even waste your time! And the service is beyond terrible. The woman waitress is a joke, seriously, she needs to learn how to treat people. Its a shame that shes even there. I don't even know how this place is still in business, its a legit DUMP. read more

Amazing food from the shrimp to the tacos and super fun entertainment, let me tell you this is my families go to spot on the weekends because we get music, karaoke, delicious food, drinks and amazing service I highly recommend! read more

Their phone orders and customer service is really bad. Food is good, however if they are that busy, why even bother have a number for phone orders. When they eventually answer, if they ever answer, the person taking the order is super rude. Went to pick my order, these waitresses are borderline disrespectful, yeah no tip! I've lived here my whole life and never had a bad experience until now, forget this place now (personal opinion). read more

the fish tacos are freakin' perfect, you have to try them. & the shrimp ceviche is super tasty. I come here a lot & everyone is really nice. delicious food & fair prices. read more

Just another mariscos place in town. They had lots of "pulpo" (octopus) offerings and I saw many tables receive all manner of cocktails. If you're a fish cocktail kind of person, this might be a good spot for you. If you're like me and searching for the best fish taco, keep on searching, you won't find it here. The fish (pescado) tacos were decent, and the green mole was pretty flavorful, including the key limes in the basket of chips, but the service was pretty much awful, and the food was overpriced for my liking. $9 for my bare bones plate of 3 tacos and some oddly discolored beans and rice. No coca de botella. With all of the other options in town, it's definitely not at the top of my list. read more

I ordered the Cocteles Levanta Muertos and I can't believe the amount of seafood that came for $17. So worth it!!! read more

Great food, great cooks but shitty service and I don't suggest you call to order they will hang up and make fake excuses once you show up

Went in today I usually just go for a chavela they're pretty good although today we went for lunch our server was awful!!! To greet us with a disgusted look should of been a red flag, my mom mentioned to her how the chips were stale and tasted really old all she said oh well they probably didn't cook them right, (I am a server and what should of been done was exchange chips for new fresh ones) we placed our order and all our food came out except my sons chicken nugget meal were patiently waiting for his plate and we don't get it I try to make eye contact with her and all she's doing is talking to the other waitresses. At this point I am beyond frustrated because we are pretty much done with our food and 30 minutes later I still don't have his food delivered I get up and ask her about his food all she says I don't know ... throughout the whole meal she didn't care to stop by and check up on us to see if everything was ok or if anyone else needed another drink..horrible service as we were paying she over heard me telling my mom how bad her service was and decided to be rude and tell me what did you say?? Oh ok now you want to speak to us directly I told her I was a server she asked where so I told her where I worked I clearly stated why her service was terrible she then had the nerve to lie to my face as to why she never stopped to check on us saying she was on lunch yeah right when I saw her standing around talking giving her the benefit of the doubt I told her if you were on lunch you could of asked a coworker to take care of your tables common courtesy. I told her before leaving this is where I work so when you want to get great service ask for me I'll show you how it's done and walked out!! Of course it seems like there's no manager on duty but when you go out and eat you are spending your money and that establishment you want to get served and treated good this lacked all of the above there's many more choices like this place in Watsonville so this will be my last time going there read more

No phone service so I had to drive to order. I asked for 3 tostadas mixtas and was charged for them. I got home and found only ONE tostada! Of course I couldn't call to complain because again, there is NO PHONE SERVICE! read more

Good customer service the food really expensive and the shrimp cocktail had no flavor tried to fix it with the salt and Tapatio and still had no flavor really watery. read more

I had lunch here yesterday. This is your typical Watsonville Mexican Food Place with loud music, sticky floors, and a lot of beer being served. Oh they also had the table side Banda/mariachi soliciting donations. Here cleanliness is all relative. The waitress and waiter had those food service gloves (he just had 1 on) but they never changed them. Same pair on when she handled money, served my dish, bused tables, or plated limes. Same pair. Looked good but NOT sanitary. Again all relative. The only reason I am considering going back and 3 stars was my fish. Tilapia fried to perfection and plated with beans, rice and a salad. The salad was of the prepackaged variety and no dressing, so it was just for show. But at least it looked fresh. The beans were very creamy. Good. The stars are for the fish and rice. The rice was institutional cafeteria style with peas, corn and onion, all cooked in chicken broth. I loved it. It was extremely well done, cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fish was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. Moist and tender on the inside, crisp, and salty on the outside. The fish was very fresh and they knew enough to leave it like that so I could enjoy. I will be back to try their pulpo. If it is as good as the tilapia this will be a true hole-in-the-wall. read more

Have not had a bad experience food is good service is fast.. waitress are nice and always asking if you need anything else overall good restaurant I have nothing negative to say.. read more

Good service, terrible food... everything is unsalted rice, beans, French fries etc. And expensive they don't even serve you chips and salsa witch many Mexican Restaurants do. I ordered 3 asada tacos and the meat was so undercooked, no salt and the meat didn't taste like asada, it tasted like chorizó. read more

No flavor, disappointed. Just imagine i had to write a review. They need better waitresses too.
