Las Islas Marias

Soooo I was born in Chicago, IL. Growing up, my family and I would always go to Las Islas Marias for the langostinos (prawns) and ceviche. Then I moved to AZ when I was 10 but whenever we visit Chicago,IL we make it a point to go to Las Islas Marias! The langostinos are finger licking goooodddd! They are a bit spicy, I would say medium spicy with lots of butter and oil I believe. Definitely be prepared to stuff your face. This place never disappoints. The fish ceviche is also really good with the chile de arbol. Be aware it's very spicy! We also order the empanadas de camaron, they serve it with a chipotle mayo dipping sauce. The service is pretty good, they are attentive.

This place is amazing Fr
Hadn't been here in years, and went back to it
And good is as great, if not, better
Great customer service too
Love the staff
Definitely recommend this place

There were roaches walking on the floor! Service is super slow because they have an automatic 20% tip, plus a credit card charge on top of everything. Food had a weird seafood rotten smell. They have music blasting throughout the entire restaurant, and even let the bums go around the tables to beg. Used to go here years ago and it was much better. Never going back.

Horrible service. And the food was very disappointing.
Empanadas tasted like nothing. And barely had any filling. Service was extremely slow and it wasn't even busy. Langostinos were kinda burned and salty. And the rice tasted like the 1 minute white rice they sell at the store. Not authentic at all.
Overall experience very disappointing. Not worth the money

Food is always amazing, been coming to this place for many many years.

Was surprised when we got a $6 credit surcharge for paying with a Visa credit card. Seems like a responsibility the owners should take care off. This will definitely drive customers away, myself included.

They dont clean/wash before serving to the customer, their customer service is horrible, the food is just not worth it at all..

After reading the lackluster reviews, I should not have ventured to this restaurant, but I was craving seafood and it's close to where I'm staying so I gave it a try. Pros- complimentary crevice that is pretty tasty and reasonable prices. Cons- ordered the paella and it was pretty bland. Also service was sub par as no one checked on me to see how I was enjoying the food. I may give it another chance and try another dish since as it's really close by but only if I'm really hungry. 3 stars for the ceviche!

I do not recommend this place. As I walked in I was immediately approached by two individuals asking for handouts. The tables was greasy and looked dirty. The bathroom was a mess. I'm sure gas stations have a much cleaner bathroom then this place. I ordered ceviche and a cantarito. I can say that the cantarito tasted like nothing but lime juice. While waiting for my food, servers and cooks were in plain view of customers eating, goofing around and touching every surface possible. If they do this in plain view, I wonder what happens behind walls. However, when I spoke to the manager he seem not to care at first, but he was very polite and easy to talk to.

Stay away from this venue

The only Islas Maria's worth going to! Food here is tasty and authentic and fresh. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT bother going to the Berwyn location. Good micheladas, great Langostinos!

Great food , great live music , and did I mention the great food!! The amount of food you get for the shareable plates is more than enough , did I mention. It tastes great! The bill cake and shocked me , defiantly need to try this place out !!
