Our Top Pick
Las Islas Bar and Grill
A high-volume Nayarit mariscos menu with both ceviche and whole-fish power plays.

Notable Picks

$$ Elmwood Park Seafood
Nayarit-style Mexican seafood built around big-format plates—fried whole fish, ceviches, and shareable hot stone/molcajete-style presentations—plus a lively late-night bar energy. It’s best when you order in the mariscos lane (one cold dish, one fried fish, one hot seafood platter) and treat it like a group table.
Must-Try Dishes: Shrimp Ceviche, Mojarra Frita (Fried Whole Fish), Molcajete de Mariscos
What Makes it Special: A high-volume Nayarit mariscos menu with both ceviche and whole-fish power plays.

Worthy Picks

$$ Elmwood Park Seafood
A soul-food counter/dining room where the seafood move is straightforward: catfish as the anchor with classic sides, built for takeout or an easy, filling sit-down. Treat it like a fish-and-sides order—keep the protein simple and use the sides to finish the plate.
Must-Try Dishes: 1 Piece Catfish Meal w/2 Sides, 2 Piece Catfish Meal w/3 Sides and Dessert, Catfish Filet (Add-on)
What Makes it Special: A long-running neighborhood soul-food stop where catfish is the clearest seafood play.
