Don't be fooled by the exterior and decor of this BYO Cuban: Behind its hole-in-the-wall facade lies some seriously fantastic food. Step inside and you're transported to Havana. Sprightly Cuban music pipes through the speakers, and the brightly colored walls are decorated with images of the island. Service is friendly and fast, be it from the long counter or the small number of tables along the side. Seafood is where La Isla really shines. The seafood soup (an array of seafood simmered in a tomato-based fish broth, finished with sherry and cilantro) brings customers from all over, and the coconut-crusted red snapper is a must. Although La Isla doesn't have a liquor license, Sparrow Wine & Liquors, a few doors down, will deliver a bottle of wine or a six-pack right to your table.

    Don't be fool by what others say about roaches and being dirty is all crap, My family and I go there all the times and I never anything like it. The food is the best around and the staff is very pleasant and always willing to please you.
    LA ISLA is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

    IF YOU CAN GET OVER THE ROACHES INFESTING THE DINING AREA YOU SHOULD ENJOY THIS PLACE. JUST ONE WORD OF WARNING KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE LARGE BLACK MAN WHO HANG'S OUT IN THE MEN'S ROOM

    This is definitely authentic cuban cuisine. It is just as good as my mom's Cuban home cooking. The prices are very reasonable and the service is quick. Try the pollo al ajillo...soooooooooooooogood.
