Mariscos Las Islitas - Denver

The music is too loud for my liking, but the food at this restaurant is fantastic. My go-to dish is the shrimp empanadas. Overall, I rate the food 5 out of 5 stars.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The new owner has truly transformed the place for the better. The food and drinks are outstanding, and they continuously introduce new dishes and beverages to try. If you visit, be sure to order the shrimp empanadas - they are absolutely delicious. Every dish and drink I tried was a hit, so you won't be disappointed with whatever you choose. This spot is definitely a must-try!

I am a frequent customer and everything I have ordered has been excellent. The staff is friendly and many locals consider it to be the best restaurant in the area. Sometimes I like to enjoy some oysters with a Corona in hand, along with some spicy salsa. Thank you, M. I hope you enjoy the book.

Ok, after we stopped here and I started reading the reviews, I got a little worried. We opted to stay and find out for ourselves and we are glad we did. This place is incredible. A jewell of a place located on south Federal. We were welcomed by a lovely woman named Gaby. She sat us immediately and took our drink orders. I ordered soda water and that came out as a glass off water and a bottle of Coke. My bad, I didn 't realize she didn 't speak English and the error was comical and what the heck, I have not had a cold coke in a bottle for years. I 'm sure sure heard soda and water in my order. The menu selections of traditional Mexican fare and seafood is top shelf. Some fantastic combinations that I would never have considered joining. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. The parking is simple and ample. We parked right near the front door. We likely walked 25 to enter the building. There is really catchy Mexican mariachi band type music playing in the background and it really adds to the experience. Once ordered, the food took about ten minutes and it all came out together. The food was hot, fresh and very tasty. The red sauce on my cheese enchiladas was quite spicy. Spicy in a very good way. My girlfriend had a pork carnitas torta and fries that she loved. Our experience here was fantastic. Beginning to end. The place, the food, the server..... Everything was first rate. We will gladly return here to try other selections from this incredible menu.

Las Islitas is a hidden gem that we keep coming back to for its outstanding service, amazing food, and welcoming ambiance. The new owner has transformed this place, updating everything from the menu to the overall look and feel. Disregard any outdated reviews from the past; this restaurant is a 100% must-try! The empanadas de camarón make for a perfect appetizer, and the enchiladas verde de camarón are an absolute favorite. Don't miss out on their incredible micheladas and specialty drinks. You won't be disappointed!
