La Isla

I like the new location in Redmond downtown and the decor is nice.
We got the beef pastelon, the ropa vieja and a pina colada. The food was ready quite fast. Unfortunately I wasn’t a fun of the pastelon it was too dry and kind of a small portion. On the other hand that ropa vieja was good.
I liked the taste of the pina collada but it wasn’t blended well enough and there was a bunch of thick ice in it.
I’m pretty confident they can address these issues.

Went for brunch. Got the two eggs with beans and rice, the empanadillas, and their French toast. They're the first 3 items on the brunch menu. All were AMAZING. I enjoyed mixing the beans, eggs, and rice up in plate 1. Empanadillas were delicious. Perfectly crispy, meaty and cheesy insides... Heaven. The French toast was a good dessert for the meal. Soft, fluffy, and the plantains were somewhat savoury. Fantastic meal for a great price.

Awesome food. The staff are very nice and able to do some customize food for us. The decoration of the restaurant are also very traditional, like it!

Went with a party of 8, and it was good, but not great. Service was ok, they had trouble remembering requests like more water and extra napkins, and there was basically no one in there. I did enjoy the drinks, but the main courses were not stunning

With Puerto Rican, Go Bananas!

tried all types of Banana dishes! We tried the MEDLEY DE PLATANOS which is a mixture of Crispy Banana Friters and Sweet Banana fry (similar to Paarumpori, a south indian Kerala snack!). this is server with delicious sauces.

next was delicious TIRAS DE SALMON, which was Salmon fry (similar to fish fry in India) which are marinated in orange juice, garlic and cilantro. Deep fried and served with mayo ketchup sauce.

the ALCAPURRIAS were ok, it is basically Green banana ground and filled with veggie mix, deep fried and served with house made pique sauce.

for dinner, we order the PASTELON. it's Puerto Rican style lasagna; layers of sweet plantains, mozzarella cheese and Veggie filling of eggplant, zucchini, tofu-veggie mix. this dish takes 15+minutes to order, ensure you have enough time in your hand! this is served with Beans gravy and rice, Salad and fried Plantanos!

they have an italian soda version, we tried the Guava flavor and it was good!
