Ive been going here for years now and I really love it, its one of my favorite places to eat and if i didnt live so far I would definitely be visiting more often. The food always comes out fast and warm and is very affordable. Their Piña Coladas are the BEST! if you haven't been here I definitely recommend their piña coladas. Their workers are very friendly and helpful and I love the vive of this restaurant!! especially on the weekends its very alive! read more

Amazing service, they were fast with the food and the food was delicious! The spicy seafood pasta was the best from what we ordered 10/10 recommended! Also it was very cheap we paid $75 for the pasta, ceviche, 3 tacos, 2 drinks and 1 margarita read more

By far the worst Mexican food that I have ever had. Our entire party of 5 ended up sick after eating here. The positive is the wait staff is really nice. Updated: Manager Jonathan is amazing. We will go and try again. We will update this when we go. read more

From the moment I sat down, I knew that I had found a unique dining experience; I mean it's fairly hard to find a mariachi band at 2:00 pm on a Saturday; and who else serves complimentary ceviche with their chips and salsa?! After looking at the extensive menu for 15 minutes, I decided on the pasta dish with shrimp, mussels, and scallops served over linguine and a buttery cream sauce that I wanted to order extra toast to lick the plate with. A truly fantastic meal!! Well done! read more

The food was okay. I had the steak fajitas and two tacos. The chicken taco smelt like feet - not quite Fritos but very toe jam-esque. The service was nice enough. The sauce that looked like Gerber baby food was decent. The menu said ask server for dessert but when asked, I was told they have no dessert. There are too many better options to return. read more

Great seafood. Loved the atmosphere of the place. The staff was very attentive and prompt.

Service was great. Our waitress Crystal went above and beyond to give us wonderful service. The food was fresh. I felt as if I was back in my home state of Texas eating off the coast read more

This place was really good! I'm so glad my friend invited me here. Their ceviche was the bomb!! It's a fun atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try more. I had the ceviche with fish, shrimp, scallops, and octopus in there it was pretty good. I also had the oysters which were not worth it, I would not get oysters here again, it wasn't bad, it was just small and not the best. I got the pineapple entree thing which was good, it was really cheesy and full of seafood! read more

A very fun spot, love the decor and the music (though they did have radio on and live music at the same time -- not a great spot for conversation if you're more than 2 people). The piña relleno is beautiful and a cool idea, but was just ok. The insides were warm not hot (despite the broiled cheese on top smoking deliciously). The octopus (one of the fish inside) was overcooked. I was surprised it didn't have any pineapple IN the dish. The guacamole was good but pretty salty or maybe lime-y. The fish "skins" though we're AWESOME. Great crispy fish-fry breading and soft white fish inside (not just fried fish skins). read more

HORRIBLE! I waited over an hour and a half for my food, my family had all finished eating and I still hadn't gotten my food. The waiter kept giving different excuses that made NO SENSE. They still tried to charge me my food!!!! Then once they removed my food from the check they said "ITS NOT OUR FAULT" we didn't even get any type of discount. Please save your money and go elsewhere. The cashier is rude and our waiter sucked. Este lugar vale verga, no vayan! read more

I went to Las Islas Marias for lunch today. As soon as you are seated you are greeted by a waiter/waitress with water, salsa (hot and mild) and a small bowl of ceviche. I went with 2 coworkers who are hispanics. They both ordered before I did and then I followed by ordering shrimp quesadillas. They were very good and flavorful. I also ordered a bowl of queso that never showed up nor did it show up on my bill, so I am not sure if the waiter understood English very well or not. However, the meal that I ordered (from the appetizer list) was just enough to fill me up and send me on my way satisified. I would love to go back and try something on the entree list. It all looks so fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Loved the food. Best guacamole ever nice and chunky. Serving are quite large. Great service so friendly. Menu is in Spanish but is translated beneath each item. Had shrimp fajitas must have been a pound of shrimp. Couldn't even eat the beans, rice or salad. Enjoyed my soft drink in the can. Had the feel and taste of old Mexico even the music. Can't wait to go back. My friend said this is now my favorite Mexican restaurant and that's saying a lot coming from her. Salsa unusual color but taste fantastic with the large chips which was also served with ceviche, that was excellent. read more

This is truly an authentic seafood restaurant! We stopped due to the amount of vehicles outside and definitely understand now why. Although none in my family speak Spanish, it wasn't a problem as they seemed to recognize that and sit us with a server who spoke English. I would highly recommend this place - the enchilada coras (shrimp) was excellent!! read more

This place is great! If you want the authentic mariscos experience this is the place to be. Being from LA where we have tons of delicious marisco restaurants I couldn't find a relatable one until I found this place. The portions are great tons of octopus and shrimp in the cocktails, waiters are pretty good at being on top of their tables, had a great time here will be returning next week lol read more

My bestie and I toddled in here for lunch last Saturday. It wasn't busy and there was no one at the door. I saw someone at the bar, waved a greeting, she smiled and came over and seated us. This joint caters to the immigrant community but they happily speak English and were very polite and accommodating even though I do speak Spanish. Anyway, they have a very nice menu of mainly Mexican seafood. Don't come here if all you want is cheese slathered Tex-Mex. Many people will not recognize these dishes and probably have a cow looking at pulpo (octopus), camarones (shirmp) and ostiones (oysters). There are some turf items such as chicken enchiladas and some other non-seafood items to please the straggler who will not touch seafood. They serve a small bowl of ceviche with round, crispy corn tortillas, salsa and limes. It was delicious! I had the Enchiladas Coras which were shrimp enchiladas and they were outstanding. Lots of shrimp, white cheese on top. No skimping here, served with rice and salad. I had a side of beans to go with. My besties had chicken enchiladas and he said they were superb. This ran us about $28 including drinks which isn't bad but it's not your cheaping $7 or $8 lunch special. I saw a lot of the seafood soups and other dishes coming out and they were quite impressive. I will be coming back. read more

I order shrimps zarandiados and pay $23.00 for the food. They took long to serve my food and my food was cold.

I would say that their cocktails are a bit better, the fajitas are very greasy and meat was dry. I saw a water roach coming down the wall. The people who are at the cashier weren't friendly, they honestly looked like they didn't like their jobs. Would I recommend? No not really. read more

The food is okay nothing huge or anything, the place is extremely dirty !! They sat us in a booth that had food all over the floor as if bird had just finish eating there. The way of cleaning the tables is by throwing crumbs in the floor it's so nasty & on top of that we saw a roach. So nasty, never again read more

went back for bacon- wrapped shrimp which was great! For us the crowd pleaser plate is the fettuccine pasta with seafood. Sauce is excellent with bread. Ceviche and hot sauce appetizer is nice too. Sunday had banda karaoke - lots of classic ballads in spanish. I will return and update review. read more

Wouldn't recommended :( my dudes I was trying to figure out what to get and the RUDE WAITRESS kept trying to rush me. I could say rude things about this waitress but I CAN TELL she didn't like her job the moment me and my sister's came in. I know I'm behind screen, and it's my experience with my sisters. However 10/10 won't recommend, the food is decent but I can't eat in such a negative place. read more

I had heard many things about this restaurant so I tried it last Sunday... I have to say 5 Stsrs For food... Service was 4 1/2 because of the language barrier... Food was a little slow coming out but so worth the wait... If you love seafood and you love Mexican...Give this place a try... This is a very well kept secret... Also a great place to catch up on your Spanish. read more

Not sure how other reviewers had such apparently substandard experiences but I'm stoked to discover a new Mexican restaurant specializing in seafood in town. This place is definitely popular with locals. I was pleased to see so many full tables and quite a turnover as we casually lunched. The bowl of ceviche that comes with the tostada-type chips was delicious and generously proportioned. To my mind you're getting a full blown appetizer for free so who could complain?! We had two margaritas, perhaps a hair on the sweeter side than I prefer but they were still tasty. One of us had a pasta dish with grilled chicken and broccoli. Not the expected option at a Mexican restaurant but it was excellent. The chicken had a spicy though not "hot" marinade and it worked really well with the pasta. I had excellent shrimp enchiladas. Service was friendly and prompt. We were greeted by I presume the owner as we entered and she warmly said goodbye as we left. Looking forward to exploring the menu. Literally over a dozen different shrimp combinations as well as grouper, red snapper, octopus etc. I think this place has a bright future in KCK. read more

The service is really poor, the food is not coordinated 30 minutes and between each meal!! the worst place if you are hungry I think you die of hunger so wait! definitely not recommended read more

Stopped in for our wedding anniversary lunch... first time there ... what a great experience!! Everything was wonderful. A fun environment! Don't expect to have a quiet somber dining experience... these folks want to have fun!! Food and service were exceptional. We will definitely be back!! read more

10 out 10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Service was awful! I came to visit my sister from California and this was the first spot she took because I was craving sea food. EXTREMELY RUDE SERVICE from the moment we walked in. She DIDN'T give us enough time to look over the menu. She came to us like 3 times asking if we were ready and keep giving us ATTITUDE. She was mad because we didn't know what we wanted and kinda just walked and said I'll give you guys more time. I was DISCUSSED that I found a hair in my food. My sister was paying and wanted to LEAVE HER A TIP BUT the amount my sister wanted to give her WAS NOT Enough For The Waitress!!!! She said "You can keep your tip." First of all she didn't have to get a tip! She was soooo damn rude!!!! HONESTLY GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE !!!! Update.. I got FOOD POISONING I felt like I was gonna die almost made my sister take me to the ER. I had my flight back home in a day and a half. I didn't think I was gonna make it because my stomach hurt so much. read more

Great service; Regina has been my waitress both times I've been here. The first time I came was the week they opened. They took a while to get my food out, but were apologetic. It is delicious. They start you out with a complimentary ceviche tostada which is listed on their menu for 3.50; that was a nice perk. I ordered the shrimp empanadas the first time and the shrimp quesadillas this time. I wanted to keep my budget for lunch under ten with tip. It was right at $6 each te; therefore I leave a tip of what I would've paid for the tostada. I'll continue dining here during lunch. The main entrees are too expensive in my opinion. Very clean and friendly. I gave four stars because I agree with the other reviews in that for the area, it's expensive. They have a lot of tv's which would make for a fun game watch party with friends. read more

Las Islas Marias - Shrimp quesadillas! - Seafood Near Me - Kansas City, Kansas

Family of four dinning in. Staff was friendly. Building had been remodeled and looked a lot better than previously. We all had some type of fajitas either shrimp chicken beef or combination. Everybody drank water. Service was a little slow and forgetful but not too bad. Live music was played on a Friday night but needed better presentation for tips. Good musicians though! Food was the short coming for sure. Menu is a good idea but tough in this area. Cost with tip was around $75, but not worth it to me. We will not return due to average food. read more

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican seafood joint this is it! This is a little gem in KCK, it reminds me of seafood restaurants back home in southern California. Don't come if you are expecting cheese covered meals. My favorite dish is "Camarones Zarandiados" they are delicious. read more

I took my family for dinner and while we're sitting in a booth after we got our drinks and appetizers I look at the wall in our booth theres a roach . I told the waitress she did apologize then we moved to a different table. My wife and I totally lost our appetite. We ended up leaving n not eating our food . At checkout the owner or manager did not apologize or anything. She asked me if the roach was in the food I said no it was on the wall where easily the roach could off landed in . Smh no apology at all not a Damm word. It's not about the money because I still paid almost 70$ which I could of easily made a big deal in front of the whole restaurant. Never going back!!! read more

Saturday night was not a good dining experience for us. Food was not bad but the waitress was not attentive, there were a couple of times we had to flag her down. I explained it was our first time there, asked if she had any recommendations and all she could do is point to the list of house specialties. (I guess she's never eaten anything there that really impressed her) My partner had purchased a certificate through restaurant.com, worth $25 on a $50 tab. I showed it to the waitress and she seemed annoyed, after asking me what the hell it was (not in so many words) said I should show it to the cashier. So, we made sure to spend $50 but the cashier told us they still would not honor the certificate. If management is going to hold to that stance maybe their wait staff could pass along the information!!! Food was okay but poor service and management, I'm not planning on going back. read more

I've been here numerous times but most likely my last. The ceviche they served us as appetizer had an old piece of tostada mixed in it from someone else's leftovers , Not no rocket science to realize what's really going on in there read more

I love Mexican food so when I saw this place had opened I thought I would give it a try. We went in on a week day around 2:00 and their was maybe 10 other people eating. It took 5 minutes for the waitress to come take our order, I got two tacos with rice and a coke. 5 minutes later she brings us our drinks (can of coke) and chips and salsa. The chips were rock hard and the salsa was horrible. 30 minutes later we were still waiting for our food and had not seen a waitress since she took our order. I put 2 dollars on the table and stood up to leave when the manager saw me she knew I was mad and came over and told me it was coming out now. I told her it was ridiculous explained my view, she said she would take care of it so I sat back down. I should have left because I have had better tacos at taco bell. The manager refused to apologize or give me a discount. I would never go back. read more

This place was honestly terrible in every category of a restaurant. I was with a group of 5 and it took the host 10 minutes to acknowledge us waiting for a place to sit. The tables we sat at were dirty and sticky. Our waitress came to our table 10 min after being seated, we all ordered waters and it took another 15 min to get our drinks and food ordered. THE FOOD TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO COME OUT!!The waitress never once came to refill our drinks during the hour wait or the entire time we were there. 3 out of the 5 meals came out then the 4th meal took another 10 min to come to the table. The fifth meal never made it because they supposedly forgot. But then they literally tried making us pay for the meal we never got. This place has the worst service, not very clean, food is nothing special, and terrible organization of how a restaurant should be ran. Don't waste your time at this place. I would give this place zero stars if I could. read more

Never coming back here again. The food took so long to come . Not even joking the food came about 2 and a half hours after we had gotten seated. The food was alright it wasn't the best. We also ordered drinks and they didn't bring them and instead they only brought us beer. We told them that we had ordered another drink and they tried making us pay for the beers read more

My husband and I had just moved to the area and were looking for new restaurants to try. We drove by Las Islas and the parking lot was packed. Awesome, it must be good. We walked in and the place is packed and there's a singer serenading the guests. We wait at the host stand for a while and no one comes to greet us, weird but ok. So we walked to the bar area right behind the host stand and sit at a high top table... and wait. And wait. And wait. Several employees walked by us and not one offered us anything, not even a menu. The bar area is not large and we were about ten feet from the actual bar where there were 3 bartenders/servers who could have easily greeted us. We waited about ten minutes until we gave up and left. I would have left right away, but honestly I wanted to see if they were too busy or blatantly ignoring us. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation, but I am glad that they are doing so well that they can decide who they want to serve. Congratulations on your success! read more
