Cute little Cuban place. The food was delicious ???? the drinks a little pricey but good. The staff was very friendly and it passed the vibe check. They played great music, made you forget you were still in Cali. It was a little dark for me but they do offer patio seating. We only had an hour and half to eat and drink, so reason for one star less, felt a little rushed to finish our birthday celebration.
We just wrapped an amazing experience at Isla. The staff were very accommodating for our last minute visit and provided us with a high chair for our little one. From start to finish every we tried was amazing and they definitely lived up to the stellar reviews. Highly recommend to anyone in the mood for great Caribbean cuisine and great service. The oxtails were amazing and my wife loved the garlic salmon. Candela was our favorite drink we tried from the menu with Mazatlán being a close second. Despite this place being almost an hour away from home we will definitely be making the drive back to return.

Easy to find location. Parking is ample and within eye distance to location. Food was amazingly delicious...from Appetizers to main course and the drinks...way too many list - strong and favorable. The only thing that bothered me was the wait,.. granted, the music was fine the people were courteous and the location was splendid... just waiting for 1 hr to be seated, 30 to 45 min for a drink and Appetizers... I felt was excessive. Make a reservation if possible and be prepared to wait.

Checked out their website and wanted to give this place a try. We ordered the croquettes and chicken as appetizers, their famous oxtail stew as entree, and flan as dessert. The oxtails were to die for. Tender and juicy. Chicken was a little dry though. Our server Ethan was attentive and friendly. Bravo Ethan!

This was our first time here and I could not be more delighted with all the friendly service and the quality of the food and drinks.
I'm puertorican and the Mofongo took me on a trip to my beloved island Puerto Rico. I loved the fact that the Chef came to introduce himself to all of us and to make sure all of our food was to our likings. Thank you Chef !!
We were also so pleased on how wheelchair friendly it was and how the staff was so accommodating for all of us, that is A+ for us.
Thank you for a wonderful experience in your establishment ????????

Best Cuban food in Orange County. Less than $170 for a party of 5 people (not including tip). I highly recommend the Iron Beer soda, the Cuban coffee with milk, and the Tres Leches cake.

Wow. Just wow. Best Cuban food in OC?
If you have the fortune of having Denise as your server, she is absolutely amazing. Gave me the best menu suggestions and drink order suggestion. What a treat.

This was our first time there and it was busy for a Friday night. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time. Since it was just two of us we were able to sit at the bar and have our dinner served there. The bartenders were fantastic and the food was delicious! I would definitely come back again

This place was great! Omg the everything ???? It was literally all delicious and beautiful! I will note that they had doors open on a hot day and no AC but I love the heat and I felt great.
Did I mention how lovely the location. From the pictures, it may look a bit bigger than it is, but still lovely and the servers were kind and attentive.
