Love the Spanish for they got..omg so good..now they got beer 🍺 and wine 🍷..yes love it need a wine of cup or two..need to check it out..good people 😀 and delicious food ..yummy 😋 😀

Ordered the small dinner plate with roasted pork (pernil) & Oreo tres leches from door dash.The box for the small was smaller than I thought it’d be but they packed it with a lot of food. I was actually full from eating half. Def get the homemade hot sauce. You can tell this food is made with love.

So my husband is from ROC and we have been looking for empanadas (he's super picky) for a while now.. Well I got a hankering for chicharon and looked up this establishment. We stopped by last night 11/6 we were immediately greeted by a friendly face. I was a little disappointed no chicharron they had sold out for the day but my husband got two beef and cheese empanadas and we got a piece of tres leches cake.. My husband said the empanadas were like nothing he has ever had before they were so delicious he was going back for more next time he will get 4 The tres was moist and flavorful.. we will definitely be going back 10/10 highly recommend.

Absolutely The Best Spanish Flavors! Small, Medium, & Large Sizes. All Good Portions. So many too choose from. Other delightful 🙂 choices. Please Stop By And Try. You won't be let down.

Great Food. Great ppl. Great Prices. Spanish food ... Pork shoulder... Sweet plantains... Rice... Brand. Different types of meats in sauce and out of sauce. Must Try.

The food is always amazing and consistent!!! I make it a point to go here every time I’m in town. The flavors and decor are spot on and as close to being in Puerto Rico as you can get! If your looking for authentic Puerto Rican food at a fair price, this is the place to go

Very good food! Definitely returning in the near future. The owner took the time to chat with us, and made sure we were happy with our meal. Highly recommend!

IF your looking for a. Very pleasant place to eat this is one of them. I stopped in this place at least 2x last week. I ordered the pork with the white rice and brown beans then the chicken with yellow rice and black beans. The meats both had flavor on the skin however past that the meat was not well seasoned and kind of dry in my opinion. The rice however and beans were most definitely the stars of the show. This place has friendly staff and a hearty amount of food for the price you pay. I would skip fast food and give this place business. Only thing I recommend is maybe the cook the meats a little less if its going to sit in the warmer as even in the juices the meats tend to over cook n become dry. N maybe just a little more salt and pepper on somethings. But I will try more things here and update you guys 😊.

Today was my first time at LA Isla. My only issue was the penil wasn't seasoned enough. There's no cilantro, no Adobo, no sazon and no garlic 😢. It wasn't terrible,just not what I'm accustomed to coming from N.Y.C. The empanadas are scrumptious 😋 tho. The arroz con gandulas needs more sofrito. Would I go back?!! I think so!!

I've been eating here for a while, and the food is delicious, but I got food poisoning this time. I am very disappointed and likely won't return due to this. I hope the owners read this and are more careful with their food safety from now on.

I usually love their empanadas and I have been supporting them for awhile but I ordered four beef empanadas and they gave me four of them with cheese and I called them and the woman was really rude. I explained to her I drove 20 minutes from Binghamton and she said “ok so what do you want to do about it” no apology and then when I tried to say I just drove there and back she cut me off and told me to have a good day and hung up.

The food is not bad but the prices now are outrageous! A little tiny tin pan is 8$ plus they tax one time I had ordered fried egg cheese & salami picked it up it was soggy oily nasty & when I called them to get it re made the lady lied & said she was not there but said she would do it the meal was like 16$ alone & asking for hot sauce the lady looks at me like I’m crazy I would not recommend this place

I'm Ecuadorian. Food in this "restaurant" is offensive for our cuisine!

I went to use there bathroom and sat down. Looked at the door and there was a big sign. “ DO NOT PUT TOILET PAPER IN TOILET. PUT IN WASTE BASKET!!!! I look over to a garbage filled with piss and some SHIT!!!! Is this not a HEALTH CODE VIOLATION!!!!! I will NEVER EVER EAT THERE!!! Omg I was never so grossed out!!!

Very poor customer service to black people. Very rude woman and girl working there. Certain period their people of Spanish decent can say what parts of the food/ meat they would like however a person like myself a county African American woman ask for specific parts of the meat I get attitude and once before she the owner, said you know you can go some place else!:I had to return my undet cooked food and instead of replacing my food she places my money that I did not ask for back on the counter! We will no longer support this bias place of business moving forward. I see how she treats her Spanish peoples and I see for some time now how she treats African American men and woman just by being present! This is unacceptable! Stop serving under cooked pork! This is what happened when there is no compilation restaurants get complacent and forget that we the people are the ones that keep the doors open . Honestly I think everybody in there needs to get their citizenship papers checked. I'm not being funny. Also just because I haven't spoke ir didn't mean I didn't understand that you speak about me when I'm there in Spanish! Also prices for the food quality are over priced!

I got food poisoning from this place this is the only review I would ever leave … I was SICK after eating their food ….. Chicken empanadas taste like nothing but lightly seasoned water meat wasn’t fresh seemed days old. Literally a waste of money ….
