Great place to get mariscos for the flavor. Portions are also a good size. The downside: the waitresses don't come back to check on you after you get your food & you have to hunt them down for the check (even when the place is empty). read more

This place is down the street from one of my offices and I decided to take a walk and pick up some ceviche for lunch. I was really impressed with the decor and layout of the restaurant. There was some road construction out front and assumed the place would be empty, but I WAS WRONG! I was greeted immediately by a kind gentleman who worked with me in ordering exactly what I wanted. I couldn't decide between a tostada de ceviche de camarón or a tostada de jaiba (imitation crab meat) so I asked if I could have a bit of both. He agreed. I payed and waited probably less than 10 minutes for my order. They even set my tostadas on the side so they wouldn't get soggy! I did dock a star because once I made it back to the office, I opened my plate and it was a large portion of food, but the jaiba was not marinated in lime nor seasoned at all... Just dry. The camarón ceviche beneath it was perfect. I did try my best to mix it up best I could. It wasn't bad, the food was flavorful, I'm sure had I made a choice of one or the other there probably wouldn't have been any issues. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the extra limes, salt and Valentina packets that came with it. They thought of everything: fork, plate, napkins. Loved that. The menu looks super appetizing and I will definitely be back to try more off the menu. read more

This is why I'm always coming back to my hometown..... one night we were in town visiting family and we were indecisive on dinner. I said... let's go to a place we haven't went to yet. So when we dined in, there were already a few families eating and shortly after more people started coming in. The staff was super friendly and was on top of their game. The girls were pretty quick with service. Restaurant looks nice and clean inside. There's tons of seating for big parties. Food was delicious. I would definitely come back. I'm a seafood lover and they cooked everything really good. The appetizer they give are tostada shells and salsa and they give you a lot. Salsa is damn good. I told my husband I wish I could buy a tub of that salsa haha. We will definitely come back. Parking is not an issue, prices are fair. Of course they are serving seafood so it's higher priced than other Mexican restaurants in town. If you haven't stopped by yet, then you need to check it out. Make sure to get the shrimp empanadas! read more

Bad service waited and waited for my food all my whole entire family ate and still no food so I cancel my order thos is the second time this happens at this place read more

We ordered a huge take out order for lunch. It was the shrimp empanadas and trays of fish and shrimp tacos. Our office raved about the fish tacos. The empanada dough was chewy. It's not supposed to be chewy, but rather flaky. Other than very spicy green or red sauce, there wasn't any other sauce. The empanadas were a bust for the team. The fish taco was the bomb. Everyone loved them. The shrimp tacos were a bit on the dryer side. I think we'll just stick with the Caldo's, ceviche, aguachillis, tostadas. Looks like people are raving these goodies. Our food was take out so I can't comment on ambiance. Our order taker was very nice and no mistakes in that big order! read more

Service and prices are great!! Micheladas were ok and so was the food. Not the best mariscos I've had but we did enjoy it.

Todo estuvo rico y a tiempo. Baños limpios y meseras muy atentas. Excelente ambiente familiar. read more

Nice surprise in Delano. We came to Delano for business and searched Yelp for a place to eat. We found this restaurant and we were extremely pleased. The portions are huge and the taste for all the food was delicious. The shrimp were butterflied and had a nice coat of butter, almost tasted like lobster, it was that good! We will definitely make the trip back to Delano just for this restaurant read more

Mariscos Las Islitas - Carne asada with camarones - Seafood Near Me - Delano, California

Wasn't sure what I wanted to have for lunch today working in Delano. I did know that I wanted to mix it up and Mexican seafood sounded perfect. Saw the good reviews this restaurant received on here and decided to give it a try. My first impression of the restaurant is that it looks like they worked hard to create the perfect ambiance for this style if restaurant. Cozy and modern. Then there's the menu. 8!pages of Mexican seafood faire (most of which I didn't know even existed)! I went with the Caldo Mixto seafood soup and it did not disappoint. The broth was delicious and it was loaded with shrimp, dish, octopus..etc. Very delicious. On the service side that waitress was fast, friendly and efficient. One nitpick was that it took me nearly 30 minutes to get my lunch but it was so delicious I almost forgot that I needed to hurry to get back to work. On balance I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Delano isn't known for their mariscos restaurants. This spot just might change that. The menu is vast with various seafood dishes, including soups and appetizers. My husband and I had the tacos gobernador and the shrimp soup. Both dishes were flavorful and fresh. Chips and salsa are complimentary and are also very tasty. The restaurant does not have a full bar but they do serve margaritas, micheladas and bottled beer. There are plenty of tables and the vibe is classic Mexican kitchen style. Eat here for their great mariscos dishes! read more

I normally really like this place, not sure what happened yesterday but the fish was raw and the beans tasted old almost as if they were going bad already was very disappointed hopefully this gets fixed read more

The food was really good and the portions were very big I had the small octopus and shrimp cocktail and it was packed to the rim, my wife had the garlic shrimp I also had the fried red snapper. It was very well cooked and came with refried beans, fries, salad, and fries. both our plates came with a spicy salsa that appeared to be just crushed Serrano. That was very good. and very spicy. if I could critique one thing, it would be that none of the girls ever smiled except for the girl that was busing tables,. Georgina was our waitress and was very cold in the way she talk to us she was nice, but I just wish that she could've smiled a little more. She would probably get more money in tips read more

Absolute gem of a restaurant. I had the aguachile and it was delicious. Service was friendly and excellent. They even had a mariachi band. Would come back next time I have to stop into town. read more

When I'm back in town, I'll be back. 10 star customer service too, the two young ladies were very attentive. read more

Excellent! We've been here several times and have always been served fresh and delicious mariscos dishes. There menu is large, so you'll find something to please everyone. The restaurant is maintained clean and the staff are all super friendly and accommodating. This is our new favorite in Delano! From the fish dishes to the fajita dishes, you can't go wrong. Everything is seasoned to perfection and so fresh. We love this place. Be sure to ask for a variety of their salsas. They range from very hot to mild and are really delicious! The food is the best in town by far! read more

Si pudiera darles 0 estrellas lo haria, la comida dentro de lo que cabe esta buena, pero el servicio es una basura "Sandra" quien fue la "mesera" que nos atendió. No tiene en lo absoluto ningun tipo de modales para llegar a presentarse a una mesa. Tiene un carácter que se ve que ni ella sola se soporta. Creo que los dueños deberían de considerar este comentario ya que por lo menos yo y mi familia no regresaremos a este lugar por el simple hecho del servicio tan malo que tienen. Sandra esta en el lugar correcto con el carácter MUY EQUIVOCADO. read more

Amazing service! We celebrated my fiancé's birthday there. The food was so delicious!! I have ZERO complaints!

Passing by Delano and looking for a lunch place, I had a very good surprise in trying out this Maricos restaurant and a great experience. Food was delicious, restaurant atmosphere casual and comfortable and the service was caring and delightful. A real gem. read more

You can never go wrong with Las Islitas. I normally go to the one in Bakersfield but this one met my expectations as well. I got the molcajete and those never disappoint. If you go here you have to get the shrimp empanadas. They're the best thing ever. My daughter is a year and a half and she demolished them and we got a dozen. read more

Business is closed for repairs. No warning. This will change when I have chance to return.

This is the worst shrimp cocktail I ever had in any restaurant in my whole entire life. The shrimp tasted old. It had no flavor and the juice was not cold like it should have been. I wasn't offered any tostadas or crackers like every other place I've ever eaten shrimp cocktail and I had to ask for lemon and ketchup. read more

This restaurant was good enough that it made us wish we lived closer to Delano. Everything was excellent from the basic salsa, which had a kick but was still flavorful, to the service. Among the items we ordered were ceviche and tacos gobernado and the shrimp empanadas. Not only did we have a great lunch, we ordered food to go for dinner! read more
