Soy un cliente regular, y una tal Griselda es bien mamona y el servicio no es tan bueno llegan y te sientan pero las meseras se duran casi media hora para asistirte y ya que terminas tu comida otra media hora se duran para que te cobren y la otra vez pagué en Cash y estos culeros me robaron 50 centavos a cuánta gente no le ha robado, pero eso es lo de menos la comida si está buena, pero cara, las meseras tienen que practicar mejor servicio, y eso es todo. read more

Esperaba más sabor en la comida y bebidas Pedí un mojito y estaba muy malo demasiado fuerte y solo parecía tener menta La comida pedí un caldo a lo que la mesera me dijo que era frío yo acepté que fuera frío pero no sabía a nada solo agua no tenía ni sal y por más sal limón y salsas no sabía a nada Y claro pues decidí no comerlo pague y me fui read more

Food is not good, they take for ever to give your food and at the end it's not good, too expensive for bad quality and after seeing many bad reviews honestly don't know how can this place still be open read more

Nice looking restaurant! Wanted to leave a 5 star here but way too many negatives to report! First the bar was great and drinks were made with real fruit and they used good tequila instead of that generic stuff that gives u a hang over. Now the bad, service was just ok. I ordered a mocajte. $41 dollars and it had about the equivalent of a 1/4 chicken breast, a tacos worth of asada and 3 small shrimp and bunch of vegetables, no cheese no chorizo. Very disappointing to pay that much for that! The restrooms were atrocious, dirty and no toilet paper in women's bathroom. We told the server but she did not pass it on to anyone! Lots of potential here but management will need to step it up!! read more

Im sorry, I hate leaving a bad review but the food was awful. Shrimp was hard and rubbery. The fish was dry. The service was on the border of ok and rude due to waitress having a table right next to us of around 25 people. Why should we have bad service because she's busy with large group. The ambiance was very loud. The large group next to us had a drunk guy going around the large group table being very loud and obnoxious. read more

Been a few times and I've explored the menu quite a bit. Camarones a la diabla are always a good option. They also have a pretty good clam chowder. This time I went with the camarones zarandeados. The seasoning and the sauce where phenomenal. This will always be a good choice for some mariscos. read more

I am so upset with the management and owner of this place. We arrived and there was a 35 minute wait with at least 6 other families ahead of us and there were no reservations being accepted. When two couples came in and asked to be seated, and the owner walked up greater then and seated them immediately ahead of everyone else. I approached the owner and asked him why did he seat them in front of paying customers who had been waiting, he answered " they had a reservation ". I answered the gentleman who is taking our names said there were no reservations and we had to wait. Then he said I don't know, it's the hostess fault. Meaning the person taking our name. I said your the owner and he said that he has no control and walked away and disappeared. As we were leaving, I informed the gentleman who put us on the list and explained what he said, and he said he couldn't do anything about, that he didn't seat them and he was following orders. Well they can keep treating people like we don't notice, but we do. This type of discrimination is absolutely not acceptable. We will no longer patronize this restaurant . read more

Horrible horrible horrible, stay away from this place. Horrible service, even worse food and the manager is worthless. We had a party of 7 and the first set of food came out 30 minutes or more after we ordered. It was 45 minutes later when the last plate of food came out. Half the table was finished before the rest of the table was even served. Manager failed to even try to satisfy this issue. Music was too loud. Save yourself the trouble and stay away. read more

The worst experience ever! They don't make reservations but when I called they told me I could reserve a table an hour prior getting there and when I got there with my party they told me they didn't know anything about that Took us 20 mins to get seated Food we ordered was meant to go when we were seated dine in. Not to mention the place is running at 100% capacity! Service in general was horrible Not to mention, I choked on a fish bone nearly turned blue and the girl was more worried about me ordering then if I was okay! The manager did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue! Such a let down. Go to LA COSTA better EVERYTHING! read more

0/10 bad, it gave me food poisoning, a rash, and pain in my stomach I recommend you dont go to this place.

Came into town to visit family and we were a little hungry. Not much open especially during COVID-19 however we found this spot, outdoor seating with music. Food was delish and flavorful. We especially liked the tostadas they give you with salsa. Service was awesome and very helpful with menu selection. Ceviche and camarones were great. Give them a try read more

The food is good and the restaurant is spacious. Plus, they have live music all the time for dinner and that just makes the experience all that more fun! What initially drew me in was the shrimp empanadas everyone raves about, especially my sister. After arriving for lunch with my parents, I promptly ordered a half dozen appetizer for us three and YUMM-O! They are jam-packed with shrimp and absolutely delicious! I can see why everyone loves them! They bring out two different salsas and have mayo on the table just for the empanadas and, as weird as it sounds, just eat them the way they recommend. They're SO good! And their green salsa is spicy and delicious! I'm obsessed! Of course, they have a giant menu with tons of options, both seafood and otherwise! Come in and enjoy the food and music. read more

This was asss. Food add little to no flavor. Service was alright. Food was ass tho. They also taking hella long for the check.

Mariscos Las Islitas - Carne asada with shrimp , it was okay just won't order it again - Seafood Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First time here ...free chips n salsa once you sit down which is great. Ordered camarones al mojo de ajo all i can say is gross. I had to return my plate. Dont know what part of the world they are from but the flavor was disgusting. The wait was about 20 minutes and once seated they brought us menus and chips the salsa had no flavor. They only had about 3 to 4 young girls helping out with a full house. I think they are under staffed since they are very busy. We also had to waive our waitress down a few times just to get some service. I will never be back and i dont recommend this place unless you dont want to drive. read more

The shrimp tacos and camarones a la Diabla are my favorite here! They also did a great job on keeping everyone at a social distance, the dividers are great and serves as great privacy too read more

Just to make things short and sweet: Cazuelitas de camaron curtido y pulpo-4.5/5 Very fresh and well proportioned Camaron al vapor-5/5 Personally my favorite, shrimp was very flavorful and grilled to the perfect temperature Carne asada plates-0.5/5 Would highly suggest you stay away from. Very dry and unseasoned We will definitely be returning to this joint, very friendly and upbeat atmosphere. read more

The Seafood Molcajete is good except for the crab. This is the second time we have ordered this and it just tastes and smells bad. Very disappointing after having an overall good ambience.

My wife and I ordered the shrimp cocktail 16.00 for a very small portion. This small portion packed a big punch we got food poisoning and were sick for multiple days. read more

It's so disappointing when a simple order can't be fulfilled correctly. When I called and made my order I made it clear to the girl that I wanted boiled shrimp with my tostadas....even repeated it to her and asked for the "cooked" shrimp. Well to my disappointment the shrimp was raw;curtido which is cooked in lime but not boiled. I call back and the only solution they had was for me to drive back from across town to return it....no apology for their employee messing up. What kind of customer service is that? read more

I've seen multiple posts and pictures from this place so I thought I'd give it a try. HELLLLLO, seafood! The menu is about 4 pages long of different seafood dishes, from shrimp cocktails, aguachilles, ceviche, empanadas, to things I've never seen before in my life! Went in on a Sunday to meet some friends who were already seated, there was a live band playing so it made it a little hard to hear each other speak, but totally set the mood. With the band playing, cold beer in hand, amazing seafood, there isn't anywhere else I would have rather been. I ordered the shrimp ceviche, and aguachilles, large portions and decently priced! I also ordered a michilada, and it was absolutely perfect. I hate that it's so far, but the food alone made up for the drive and I'll be a returning customer definitely! read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. I'm sorry but if you know seafood you know this place is absolute trash. It has a good vibe but the service and food is horrible. The food is salty!!!! the shrimp cocktail is nasty, absolute no taste, the shrimp&octopus tostada is nasty. Needless to say the margarita i ordered was also salty and not enjoyable for almost $12 i expected a bigger portion and decent taste. Besides the horrible food, the lady who serviced us had a stank attitude. no smile, no customer service whatsoever. I almost told her to go home if she was not in the mood. One of the girls was nice and fast, too bad she wasn't our waitress. Avoid this place read more

I'll make the 30min drive for this food any day of the week! Best mariscos around! My advice: Shrimp& cheese empanadas are mandatory !!!

After hearing so many good things about this place we decided to give it a try! One of the cleanest seafood restaurants I've been too, staff was super friendly and service was great! I had the Camarones a la Diablo, which were very good, not too spicy but the right amount of heat to be able to enjoy. Came with a side of white rice with veggies in it and refrigerate beans. Husband had a shrimp cocktail, the shrimp were very well deveined and had lots of shrimp, not enough veggies, which is our favorite part. I love lemon with my seafood and unfortunately they only serve lines, I can taste a great difference, but other than that food was good. Fish ceviche was also okay I thought it lacked some flavor but way better than other places we've tried Will try again read more

Horrible place 0 stars for both service and food first of the waitress did not ask if the check was separate and when i asked for separate checks she had a lil fit then my uncle ordered chicken fajitas because he doesn't like fish or beef as much just for her to come back 20min later and say sorry there's no more chicken if you'd like we can serve you the beef fajitas so I asked if it would be the same price as the chicken fajitas since it was an inconvenience to us she called the manager over he told my uncle its only a 3 dollar difference we have cheaper items on the menu if you'd like. What kind of manager disrespects their customers like that. My tacos governador had more cheese than anything and what seemed to be ground shrimp they were not good at all no flavor honestly it was basically a quesadilla so toward the end the waitress was acting a bit nicer I'm pretty sure she just wanted a tip but from the experience we just had with her and the manager we decide to leave no tip please don't go here read more
