Las Islitas stakes its claim on just one noble pursuit—the seafood-heavy cuisine of Mexico’s Central Pacific state of Nayarit. The food is simple, delicious and authentic, having clearly evolved in a place where the raw ingredients are so good and so fresh, no culinary tap-dancing is necessary. While most Mexican restaurants start you off with chips and salsa, the servers at Las Islitas deliver seviche, as well as little bowls of spicy green jalapeño sauce. Whole tostadas and packaged saltines are presented in lieu of chips. Brothy, aromatic soups and fish-filled empanadas are a few must-haves, and even the unsavory sounding dishes such as camarones a la cucaracha (“cockroach” shrimp) are surprisingly delicious. You will definitely leave with a full panza. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)
