Delicious food, good service, great ambiance. Reminded me of being in a Cuban restaurant in Miami. Will definitely be back.

La Isla was a truly authentic Spanish restaurant that was very pleasant to experience out here in Jersey. Me and my partner went to try it out after a workout class and loved the taste of food and services as great as well. They do not serve alcohol beverages but can bring your own bottle which was fine with us. We cleaned our plates and left very fulfilled. The place is also buzzing with people to this local restaurant the reviews did not lie about this great neighborhood gem,

Great local spot in Hoboken, must have a reservation if you are going on a weekend evening as they are packed. First off they are BYOB which we did not know but was not an issue. We sat at the bar and ordered the Churrasco Sandwich which had grilled sliced skirt steak, caramelized onions, chimichurri sauce, potato sticks a solid 9/10 and a must try. I ordered the Camarones al Ajillo which was sautéed jumbo shrimp, white wine garlic sauce. For the price of $26 I was expecting more than 4 small shrimp that with needed to search for in the excessive amount of sauce given. The Maduros were okay and unfortunately were not made fresh to order. The yuca was great as it was steamed and not fried. Our service was outstanding and the ambiance is a bit crowded but a cozy feel for a Cuban spot. I would definitely like to come back and try more of their menu.

Authentic delicious Cuban food ! Excellent service ! Tropical upbeat atmosphere!! We love the breakfasts !

Laid back cafeteria style Cuban food in downtown Hoboken with delicious food. It's a cafeteria style meaning they prep their food in large quantity Parking can be tricky as it's located on the main street in Hoboken (Washington St.) but not as bad as larger cities. It's small with a bar area seating and about 5-6 small tables. We started with the brussel sprouts which I loved, a bit too oily but they were fried well and tasted yummy, that drizzle of chipotle mayo was delicious! I had the pollo asado with arroz Moro and plátano maduros which was so tasty, a bit on the saltier side but I prefer that over bland. We ended the night with the tres leche that had a nice presentation and good flavor but not my favorite, the cake is a bit on the denser/heavier side. Service was fine; the man helping us was attentive and polite. Overall, nice experience we're definitely coming back to try more!

Thursday night date night at La Isla in Hoboken, NJ is the perfect ending to a busy day. La Isla is one of those places that no matter what you get, you're going to enjoy. Whether it be their famous empanada de guayaba y queso, cubano sándwich, Thursday night paella, or their infamous stuffed guayaba French toast; your mouth will be watering and your belly will be full. Yum! La Isla Restaurant at 104 Washington Street has been an institution in downtown Hoboken since 1970. Check Them Out. You won't be disappointed.

The restaurant is on the smaller side but it is very family friendly and has a good vibe. I ordered the huevos rancheros which was good. Just personally has a bit too many means.

Chicken empanadas and guava empanadas were both good. Papa rellena was ok -- probably would not order again. The ropa vieja was very good. $17 special on Saturday and Sunday with two side dishes included. Service was attentive. They requested cash payment when we tried to pay with credit card -- strongly preferred. Casual vibe. Like a Cuban diner. Limited table seating with counter seating also available. Takeout also popular.
