I went to Isla Del Mar with some friends and we loved it. I had the Molcajete Mar and a michelada and they were both yummy. The service was good, and staff were bilingual. They had live music which was a plus.
I love their birria tacos!!! Their guacamole is so good too and I made sure to order extra chips this time!! I also ordered a Horchata that was so delicious! A side of their consume was perfect with the tacos!
The place for Birria! From quesadillas to fries, to nachos to ramen; they offer a wide array of how you can get their tender with slight spice Birria. There's also endless sushi and other dish options. Full bar but my favorite here are the Cantaritos--tangy with a chamoy Tajin rim. A large restaurant means no waiting for a table and the servers are always attentive.
Wow, who knew that sushi and tacos can be served in the same restaurant? And this place knocks out of the park with freshness and quality. It may be a little overwhelming when scanning the menu, but just breathe, you will find some gems. The birria taco was so good and filling. It's not your typical taco, because there is so much meat. I couldn't even finish it and I love tacos. The mantra ray tostada that I tried was also amazing. So venture out and try this spot out.
I really don't know why it took me so long to try this place I love seafood! Isla Del Mar did not disappoint! They have a big menu and Our waiter was very nice answered all of our questions about the menu! Food was delicious and the portions were just right! We did go on a Friday evening and there was live music I was having some trouble hearing the conversation we were having but as they always promote on their social media live music on Fridays I wasn't surprised!
O M G This place is to die for. Our waitress was amazing Our food was even more amazing and out drinks were fabulous. Crab enchiladas have 100% real crab and packed full. Bang bang shrimp was huge and my hubby loved them. Sushi was one of the best iv had in omaha area. We will for sure be returning customers, check out my fish bowl drink!!! Thank you for a pleasurable experience for our early valentines dinner.
Still loving here! We did lunch delivery and we all have happy tastebuds and over full tummies. The biggest hit was the birria pizza. Easily large enough to feed 4 people for $23.
Mind blown. Totally. Freaking. Blown. I was in town for a quick visit with relatives and we wanted to try this place out after reading about it online. Wow. Started with shrimp nachos and a grilled octopus that I will literally dream about until we can come back to town. Served with rice and a delicious and fresh pasta salad, it was literally perfection. We ordered the sushi "monkey brains" that was yummy crab stuffed into an avocado, breaded and fried with spicy Mayo and eel sauce on top. Yummmm, made me dance in my seat. We tried 2 other rolls, I don't Remember the name of - both very tasty. But the big surprise was the bariria!!!!! Soooo gooood! We will be back!!!!
This place has been on my list for months and it did not disappoint! The flavors are all very authentic, and the dishes are full of color and variety. The guacamole easily became the table favorite and many of us filled up on that rather than our meals it was so good! I had the shrimp/steak fajitas and this was plenty for 2 meals. Everything was cooked perfectly. They were not spicy, but I added some spicy sauce that came on the side and this added such a great flavor! The drink menu is heavily tequila/beer focused, which didn't provide many options for those of us looking for other liquors. I went with the cosmo, and it was very strong--a bit too strong even when I stirred it together. The waiter overheard that it was my birthday and asked whether I wanted a cake or shot. I chose cake but sadly did not get a picture as we devoured it too quickly! Overall great service, exceptional food (although I will admit it is a little higher in price than I expected), and the cherry on top was a cute Valentine's Day Photo Booth we got to take pictures in afterword. I will definitely be back!
