I honestly wish I lived closer to either Little Saigon (Westminster) or Rowland Heights where I could get my comfort food in days like this!\u00a0 I ended up at La Isla Mexican Seafood Restaurant of all places.<\/p>\n<p>I missed it the first time because the sign was not turned on (darn timer didn&#8217;t adjust time change!).\u00a0 To be honest, I was a little hesitant to come in because the plaza looked so deserted!\u00a0 I later found out the plaza is being sold and all vendors\/merchant will be relocating by end of the year.\u00a0 They have no idea where they will be moving to yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1262\" title=\"JPEG\" src=\"http:\/\/wendyfulworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"\"

from a printed menu.\u00a0 We did the later.\u00a0 The server was very friendly and explained the different dishes to us patiently.<\/p>\n<p>Like most Mexican restaurant, Chips and Salsa were served.\u00a0 There were 3 different types of salsa.\u00a0 The green one was creamy and a bit sweet and got spicier and spicier as you ate.\u00a0 The regular salsa was milder.\u00a0 The one in the plastic bottle was HOT!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1264\" title=\"LaIslaMexican-1\"

rice.\u00a0 The server asked me if I could take spicy and I said yes.\u00a0 OMG, it was spicy.\u00a0 I had to skip the sauce and just ate the shrimp.\u00a0 He later told me he probably should have ordered it 5 out of 10 on the scale instead of 7.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1263\" title=\"JPEG1\"
