I had a few friends recomment Isla so we decided to try it. My gf loves Mexican food so it was a go.
We went there on Saturday night before we saw Love.
The hostess greated us with a smile and was very nice.The decor was pretty cool also.
I ordered this Margarita that had muddled fruit in it. It tasted good but the chunks of fruit kept clogging the straw, easy fix, just drink from the glass!
My gf's diet is gluten free. They grilled the fish tacos which are usually battered. The waiter was friendly and made good suggestions about things she could have off the menu.
We got the food and it was honestly just meh. I ordered the beef barbacoa enchiladas. They were alright. The plates had the typical accompaniments, refried beans and rice. Meh...Nothing wowed me. at all.
When it came time for dessert. The waiter did something pretty lazy. Instead of walking around where are table was, he handed our desert menus across the booth from the hallway. We both looked at each other in awe. Then when dessert came, he did the same thing! He handed us the dessert instead of bringing it to us and placing it on the table. Then he handed us the dessert spoons.
I have been in the food biz for a long time and this is just plain lazy. You can't even walk around to the friggin table? That says " I don't really care about the people that patronize this place in business so I can have a job".
I didnt say anything to the manager because I don't want to make a big stink but I won't be back there.
So far, the best places for Mexican we have dined at have been Dos Caminos at the Palazzo and Diego at MGM. Both excellent places. Great service and delicious food that aren't the typical refried beans and quesadilla kinda restaurants.
