. "Yet another dissappointment in my quest to find Mexican food with soul...\n\nNot far from The Broadacres Swap Meet, we drive towards this big sign that reads\" Las Islitas Mariscos Estillo Nayarit\"...The Region of Nayarit, Mexico is well known for their seafood specialities, so we thought\nThis has gotta be good!\n\nThe first good sign-a PACKED parking Lot\n\nWe step inside, I'm hoping not to see abuelita upfront making tortillas a mano(fingers crossed)-YES! another good sign....\n\nInstead, tables are packed with the majority being Hispanics(Go where the locals go,right?) and not one, not two, but THREE different bands are going table to table(2 Mariachi bands and 1 Ranchero Band) taking song requests as you dine.\n\nService staff are hustling in and out of the kitchen with all kinds of seafood specialities trying to get orders to the guests ASAP....We finally get sat at a tiny booth in the corner and I'm eager to see the menu.\n\nSo we decide on a mixed seafood Campechana-seafood cocktail with shrimp, octopus, oysters, and abalone, and a plate of Pulpitos, or sauteed baby octopus as suggested by our waitress.\n\nI guess the dissapointment set in after the first bite. Both dishes looked better than they tasted....the octopus was rubbery from being overcooked.\n\nThe Campechana tasted watered down and lacked flavor even with all that seafood inside. we kept having to season it with condiments on our table. Even worse was the unadvertised addition of imitation\ncrab meat!\n\nDid we order the wrong things? Kitchen have an off day? Hard to say,but hard to say if this restaurant does Nayarit any justice...ALOHA!!!"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . "2011-07-01T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . .
