Food looked good so I ordered Pickup on Grubhub. When I showed up they first tried to say I had ordered from a different store, then that "machine broken" and that I would have to call Grubhub to get the order refunded.
Understandable, but if the machine was broken why did they waste my time indicating that they were preparing my order and that it was ready?

La Isla is a no-frills comfort food restaurant which serves up a variety of filling Dominican dishes. there are seats at the counter bar, but no tables. there’s a menu taped to the wall that might be hard to decipher—best to just ask what you want and how much it is. the interior is old school and worn-in. very much old NYC and a bit more gritty than super polished.
a menu of meats (Pernil, roasted chicken, chicken stew and more) + rice + beans platters. there are mofongos to choose from, too. there are smaller bites if you want a quick to-go like Pastelito. got Papas Rellenas to go and they were tasty and hit the spot as i wanted something savory and full of carbs. the deep-fried potato ball is served warm —it is stuffed with seasoned ground beef. so good. the potato ball is a nice size and perfect amount of snack for walking.
staff is friendly enough, but this is not fast food or fine dining. things operate at their own pace.

I ate the crispy piece of the pernil and it felt like it filled whatI was missing. good food.

They are expensive and cheats. I was just there purchased rib and yellow rice and beans. The rice and bean used to come in a big round container but tonight the server put them in a smaller container. The rubs are all bones. Didn't realized it until I got home. Very unethical place. Would not go back again!

Great food but the space is small so it gets a little crowded but it's worth it if you want good Spanish food.

We came out of town to visit, and went to this place because the reviews were good. When we walk in, we noticed a man counting some spare change to buy something. He ask for something to eat and pay in change. The lady at the counter made a remark about the homeless man. I fell uncomfortable because we are not perfect but we try to be. I don't laugh on other person mishap, troubles or life problems. I could be that person some day . I don't know what turns life have for me . I look up , to heaven an pray the allways have mercy for me and those that don't have it like that. I won't recommend this place. Base on my principal.
