Was hiking in the area and decided to try a new place. As soon as I walked in it was clean, and well set up. The workers/owners were kind, skilled, and you could taste the passion in the food. Delicious! The chicken wings were fantastic and the chicken sandwich with the Mayo ketchup was phenomenal. Pinã Colada was the perfect cherry on top. Loved it! Keep up the good work, I can see this place getting very well known in the future.

The food was very delicious and tasted like a home cooked meal and the service was exceptional. I don’t have to wait too long and the hostess was very nice I’ll definitely recommend anyone to come here to eat.

la isla offers a warm atmosphere with friendly, attentive service that makes you feel welcome. The food is delicious, with each dish carefully prepared and bursting with flavor – my personal favorite is the pernil with tostones. a new favorite is their pina Colada drink. Overall, it’s a must-visit for a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend.

Changed my whole day for the better! Staff was very friendly, helpful and kind. This take out really feels like home cooked comfort food.

Their food is the real deal! It would be a great place to sit and eat, decor is fun too.

They have all the stews and specials you would expect. Meat lovers AND vegetarians would be happy to visit this place. Their plant based meat is Beyond brand.

The person I visited with got chicken empanadas and really enjoyed them. We found out you have to come early to get some of the more popular empanadas, if you are worried they won't have what you want, staff said you can order earlier in the day to pick up for later on. You'll be glad you did!

Even if they don't have the special you had in mind there are so many other things to try.

I wasn't in a great mood before I stopped in here but they were so pleasant and the food is amazing that I can't help but smile.

I have kind of a restricted diet so I eat a lot of white rice and... I would go out of my way to get even the plain rice here again I'm not even joking. I ate a bunch of my rice and it was so perfectly amazingly fluffy and good I almost forgot about my sweet plantains which were *heavenly*.
