La Isla Redmond

My wife is Cuban and we both love the food at La Isla. The food here is not Cuban of course, but there are a lot of similarities between the dishes and the food here is better than a number of other local offerings which claim to be Cuban!

Nice atmosphere, great food, nice people - definitely worth trying!

La Isla has awesome food and drink specials for happy hour, which is everyday from 3pm to 6pm and again from 10pm to 1am.  Plus, the service was great, food was truly delicious, and the drinks were tasty.  

I strongly recommend the shrimp with garlic sauce (Camarones with al ajillo) and the mofongo (garlicky fried mashed plantains = YUM!), which is not on the menu.  My mouth is salivating just thinking about these two dishes.

Will definitely be back to try more things!

Only been there once.  I had some appetizers in the bar.  The shrimp was pretty good.  There is a great selection of rums.  The drink options where just OK, and the bartender did not have any great recommendations.  I was hoping with the rum selection there would be some killer drinks.

I think this place has potential.
