Las Islitas Grill

Hidden gem next to the Laurel Inn, we're so glad we checked it out! Not sure what some of the older reviews were about, but we had excellent service - they were quick, kind, and anticipatory of our needs (to go boxes and check timing).
The food exceeded expectations from the delicate broth and tender crab and fish in the 7 Mares soup to the deliciously garlicky camarones platillo and refreshing aquachile.
Even the chips and salsa were yummy with assorted hot sauces at the table for more kick.
We didn't stay for karaoke, but right around 7pm, the restaurant got a little pep in its step setting up for a musical Saturday night.
We'll definitely come back next time we're in the area!

I came in today to eat with some friends and 2 children.
The server did not bring the menus or said I’ll be with you guys in a bit.
We were sitting there for a while wondering who was going to help us.
I got up and asked for the menus.
The server got one of my friend’s drink and was leaving without taking all of our drinks.
I said we are all ready if you could please take all of the drinks please.
I ordered 1/2 a dozen of oysters 2 horchatas and a lemonade the sever left and came back saying we don't have those oysters anymore only the 3- 6 and 8 and I said yes 1/2 a dozen is the 6 so i didn’t understand her question and she got upset because I said 1/2 a dozen is 6.
She left mad and got the drinks exempt for the lemonade once again we were sitting here wondering about the lemonade and we asked about the lemonade after 6 min of waiting and she came mad to the table and said we don't have lemonade if you see the menu you can see that we don't have it.
I said okay thank you but you could have said that when we ordered it.
But okay and at this point shes all mad and said if you don’t like the service you all can go ahead and leave or i can get my aunt so you can complain so yeah we paid the drinks and left.
I was not going to argue with her.
The food here is great but the server was rude to us.
My friends, family and myself will not come here again until their service improves.
Thank you.

I had a truly disappointing experience at this taqueria.
Despite being a paying customer, I felt completely ignored and neglected.
It was evident that the staff only cared about catering to their family members who were present, leaving other customers like myself feeling like second-class citizens.
I waited far too long for any attention, only to watch as they doted on their relatives, neglecting other tables.
The service was unprofessional and downright rude.
It's unacceptable to prioritize personal connections over serving all customers equally.
I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for decent service or respect as a paying customer.
