Fuimos a Casita Isabela con mucha ilusión, especialmente por la buena reputación que tiene el lugar, pero la experiencia fue muy decepcionante. Ordenamos unos pinchos que venían con arroz jíbaro, y desde el inicio dejamos claramente especificado que debían ser sin salsa por razones de salud. Aun así, el plato llegó con salsa. Al devolverlos, esperando una solución adecuada, la respuesta fue aún más preocupante. Cuando regresaron el plato, pregunté directamente qué habían hecho, y me indicaron que los pinchos fueron "lavados" para quitarles la salsa y luego re-cocinados. Esto, honestamente, es inaceptable. Primero, porque la salsa ya se impregna en la comida --no es algo que simplemente se "lava" y desaparece. Segundo, porque demuestra una falta total de consideración hacia una restricción alimentaria que se explicó claramente desde el principio. Y tercero, porque servir comida que ha sido manipulada de esa manera levanta serias dudas sobre los estándares de higiene y ética en la cocina. Además, el resultado fue evidente: los pinchos regresaron sobrecocinados, secos y de mala calidad. Es una pena, porque el lugar tiene buena fama, pero experiencias como esta hacen cuestionar seriamente si esa reputación está justificada. La realidad es que, después de esto, no regresaría --y considero importante que otros sepan que aquí pueden llegar a "corregir" un error de cocina de una manera que no es apropiada ni segura. read more

This was such a fantastic authentic Puerto Rican meal and experience. My family and I had dinner plans elsewhere that got canceled, so at the last minute we had to find somewhere to eat and ended up at Casita Isabela less than an hour before they closed. Such a cute place. The staff could not have been more friendly or welcoming, reassuring us that they did not mind our late timing and were more than happy to feed us. The food was delicious- not heavy, not greasy, just good quality ingredients. We are big foodies, and look for restaurants that cater to locals rather than tourists, and Casita Isabela definitely fit that bill. The carne frita (fried pork), dorado fillet (mahi mahi) and mamposteado rice were fantastic. The sweet plantains were the best we've had-- and we LOVE sweet plantains--and the coconut espresso martini (dulce Isabela) was made for you espresso martini snobs out there. We also enjoyed the pernil estafado guisado (braised stewed pulled pork), the pechuga rellena de yuca envuelta en tocineta (bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with yuca), and the arenales burger (pulled pork sandwich). Each meal also came with some nice fresh greens which was so refreshing. Not pictured: the steak montaditos, which I highly recommend trying. We will definitely be back. read more
