    The star of the show shrimp empanadas worth the arm and the legs
    Foo D.

    The food is great. I usually go for the medium coctel de Camaron Caliente. An order of shrimp empanadas and an order of their delicious white rice. Service is good. The staff is attentive for the most part. The ambiance is chill on the westside of lb. the outside can be a little intimidating if you're not familiar with the area since there's a lot of homeless activity. Give it a shot, and don't miss out on the empanadas!

    This restaurant makes your heart happy and your tummy even happier. It's a fun and relaxing family owned business. You can tell right when you walk in their pride to make people smile and enjoy a great meal. We ordered two shrimp platters. My husband got a very spicy flavor that he loved and I went for a garlic and cheese covered plate. I couldn't stop eating it. Their coleslaw is a family recipe and super yummy. They make their guacamole from scratch too and you can get it as spicy as you like. Their kids menu offers lots of kids favorite options. Portions are great, food is great and staff is even better. We can't wait to go back. Oh and their beer options were on point too. Thank you Las Islitas for a great family meal.

    I come at this place to have $1 chips & salsa & the closes i can get my menudo. Food is decent, but expect the wait and poor service from the server(lady in a.m.) Only ONE server, cashier & getting order from the phone... I'll be back. Thank you!

    Food is super delicious. Their specialty are the empanadas, you must try them. The sauce they add to them is superb. Dinning outside is an option due to covid restrictions.

    At work, my coworkers know me as a Yelper, but it was my coworker who found this place on Yelp and how we ended up here for lunch the other day. Our group of three intended to dine at another restaurant but found it closed so one of my coworkers jumped on Yelp and off we went. This place is on Santa Fe, south of PCH. I'm not sure how keen I'd be going here at night. Lots of parking to include a small private lot behind the restaurant. Interior decor reminded me of a place you'd find in Mexico, on the beach. Not sure why but it just did. The server - nice and friendly - multilingual; patient too. Later found out she and her family own the place. The food (see pics) was pretty good. I opted for the three shrimp tacos. Two sauteed and one deep fried. Smaller shrimps which for me works with tacos because when using full size shrimp, you tend to get less pieces. Lots of condiments. Add some salsa which has decent flavor - fresh and not too strong and I devoured all three like I hadn't eaten in days. My coworkers also raved about their dishes. One had the fish tacos and the other had the flautas. They offer take out which looked to be pretty steady on our way out.

    Ceviche de pescado is no good. Not fresh and flavor was missing. Maybe the shrimp ceviche is their specialty?

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time.

We tried the jamaiica, cucumber, and regular ELBC margi-rita and I can guarantee you we felt a nice buzz.
