Isla Cuban-Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar

The appetizers are delicious 😋 All the mains looked it too ! I had the chicken soup, the serving was large! The waiters were sweethearts :)

Ok let's make this right to the point.

1. The chicken soup was on point.
2. The Yuca was on point.
3. The empanadas on point.
4. The plantain chip also on point.
5. Congri was delicious.
6. Sweet plantain just right.
7. Pernil was super DRY. Not good at all left the whole thing behind.
8. The soda was super flat even though it didn't have any ice in it.

The ambient was great.

The waiter was very tentative to my wife and I.

I would have given a lower rating but my wife asked me not to.

Member it's about the overall experience.

Fairly priced, great environment, food missing some flavor. Great plantain chips, emenadas need more pimento and Spanish olive, congri dry needs more black beans. Empenada a bit small. Great location, within walking distance from my hotel in a safe area. May try agian but different menu items. For better Cuban food try Havana kitchen Temecula CA. !

First time, we very hungry and the food was very authentic as original cuban food. The best part was that the chef came out and asked us about our metal. We very highly recommend this restaurant

I was impressed with the service here and how fast we got our food. The server checked our table multiple times to ensure everything was OK. Will be back if I am ever in the area.

My first time eating Ropa Vieja was in Havana Cuba last year in 2023. I fell in love with the dish. I’ve been trying to find a restaurant close to Downey and was exited to give this restaurant a try. I hate to say it was disgusting. The Ropa taste like it was cooked with McCormick taco seasoning. It tasted nothing like the dish I had in Cuba. The congri was mediocre and the fried plantains were great. I won’t be back.

We loved the food, the staff and the music…A hidden gem that you must try. The empeñadas, the salmon, the pork with onions and the homemade cake were exceptional.
