Visit Chicago for the first time. I was looking for a place to have dinner and I ran into this place on Mannheim Rd. The atmosphere was very familiar with the very friendly waitresses. Fast service, I didn't have to wait long. The food is very good, it tastes all fresh and a good portion. My husband ordered a shrimp cocktail, he liked it a lot. I ordered some very delicious shrimp, by the way. I would return to this place again.
Very good food, good service, raw oysters at the ready, appetizer ceviche on the house, excellent ETOH drinks, friendly, and nice ambience, next door to La Michoacana if you want some fantastic dessert.
My friend and I ate here before heading to the Allstate Arena. The food was amazing. Starting with the verde salsa and ceviche that they bring to your table immediately. I ordered a margarita on the rocks with Patron Silver. Yum! Not too sour. The Queso Fundifo with shrimp was served with warm tortillas and two additional sauces. This appetizer did not disappoint. We shared the shrimp enchiladas with special house sauce for our meal. The enchiladas were delicious! Our sever was very nice. Great experience all around.
Even on a busy night the food is as great and the servers were friendly. I had a torta and my date the quesadilla. Both were delicious!
Delicious and fresh! Love the service and complimentary ceviche! Very clean environment! We will definitely be back to try other dishes and of course the yummy drinks that paired so well with our seafood dishes
Great service. Amazing food!! It's to dream about and I have the pickiest mom and she enjoyed it. I had to bring her 3x and family. Such a great place to eat always packed.
Great local business close to O'Hare. Nice staff and good service. The food is always excellent and the prices are fair. Lots of good choices on the menu. I'm a fan of the shrimp dinners. Lots of food but you walk away satisfied not stuffed. Free parking lot.
When in the area of Des Plains, eating seafood at Mariscos La Isla Dorada is your go to! We're not from the area of Chicago, we were visiting for the weekend and didn't feel like driving close to an hour towards La Villita to find authentic Mexican seafood. We saw their ratings via Google and decided to enter blindly. It was a stunner. Their decorations and the feel of La Isla Dorada made me feel like I was somewhere in the South of Mexico near the ocean. It was cute and the staff was very nice and cordial. Their menu is extensive and it's all seafood to the exception of a couple of items that are more traditional to your typical Mexican restaurant. Their food is mouthwatering. Salsas are always very hit and miss but their green salsa offered with the ceviche and tostadas mini appetizer was mind blowing. I will definitely enjoy this spot again if ever in the area of Rosemont/Des Plaines. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures.
