Wow! First time at Las Islas and it won't be my last. This place was hopping! A number of families were enjoying their dinners with gusto. Very pleasantly surprised the server presented us with fried corn tortillas, salsa verde (yum) and ceviche. I could have gobbled up the ceviche in a moment but I restrained myself so that my husband and friends could get a bite. The basket of tortillas also had a ton of saltines for the ceviche but I preferred the crispy tortillas. I got a coctel de camarrones y pulpo - shrimp/octopus cocktail. It wasn't as flavorful as I've had expected but the octopus was tender and, hey, we're a long way from the coast. My husband got the fried tilapia with garlic. It comes as a whole fish which I like (I don't look it in the eye!) but I'm bet the cook would remove the head if you asked. It was super crispy and wonderful. The garlic was not overpowering but made a great sop-up-the-sauce for the piece of garlic bread. MMM. We were both sucking on the fish bones!! My mouth is watering just thinking of it. A friend got the molcaheta nayarita (new to me) served bubbling in a stone bowl: it was made up of shrimp, octopus, scallops and fish in a wonderful, complex-flavored sauce. Although it seemed pricy at $29, the portion was huge and he was able to take 1/2 of it home for another meal. Wow, I'm going to get that next time! They have a juke box that plays LOUD and although it provided a for a festive Mexican atmosphere. It was a little hard to hear each other. Once the tunes were over they had a soccer game on the 2 big screen TVs and they were not blaring. The only other thing that was a little annoying was that the tables for 4 are just a little too small to comfortably seat 4 people side-by-side. Minor detail. Compliments to the chef and the very friendly, knowledgable staff who made this a great meal.
