Isla Cuban-Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar

Second time visiting this restaurant and once again it did not dissapoint. Ropa vieja with maduros and congri was delicious. Tried their flan for first time. Was delicious! Im not a fan of flan. The texture is either rubbery, mushy or too sweet buy the flan here was the Best flan I've ever tasted. Firm, but smooth texture with delicious topping. Definitely making this restaurant one of my favorites.

I do a lot of food reviews & try new places. I really wanted to like this place but I must say! The staff was not friendly at all. I felt like i was overlooked & shouldn’t be there. The food was not great as I thought it would be. I am domincian & also I have tried the Cuban sandwich. When I saw it, I looked it at like why is it so small? It was mostly bread! You barely got any meat in it! for the price thats not good. The rice was warm! I’m guessing they have it sitting out! Overall it looked like the food was rushed when it was made. The drinks are small! They gave me the smallest glass for a cocktail! For the price I thought it would be a bit bigger! That was disappointing. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. I truly wish I could but I wouldn’t bring my friends & family here!

Isla Cuban kitchen es el lugar para disfrutar de musica salsa en vivo. Y deleitar de un rico platico cubano.

I have just moved to OC and glad to have a great time at Isla. Food was yummy - the plantain chips, ceviche, sautéed garlic butter shrimps, oxtails, yuca fries, cocktails, etc. Ricardo was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions. Great service and atmosphere, would love to return soon!

My second round here was disappointing as they cut back on food quality. I ordered Ropo Vieja and the beef was awful. I complained about it then was approached with an attitude from the manager. If you don't care about food quality then you will appreciate the ambiance here.
