La Isla - City of New York

Everything was delicious! I had the Penil, rice and beans, and platanos, and I also tried the blood sausage. Everything was excellent, though the sweet platanos were a little dry—perhaps they were made in a hurry since they were prepared to order. Overall, the food was far superior to what you’ll find at the neighboring restaurants.

Looking for another great spot for Puerto Rican cuisine? This place is definitely worth a visit! The fresh and flavorful rice dishes are fantastic—chicken and beef are my personal favorites, but they also offer delicious pork options. The rice is so good, it reminds me of my mother’s cooking (but don’t let her know!). The prices are very competitive, and the customer service is attentive and friendly. I will definitely be coming back again and again!

I used to really enjoy this place, but not anymore. They no longer offer pasteles, and the alcapurrias I had were not made according to the traditional recipe. They were tough because too much flour was added, when they should only be made with grated green bananas and yautía. The meat filling was overly seasoned and not very tasty. I'm really disappointed and won’t be going back.

The food is great but the empanadas is 95% dough and 5% beef...... Where's the beef?

The food was delicious and service was good and they have a restroom and was clean.
