    Dance floor
    Christian P.

    This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. The ambiance and customer service were excellent, and the food was good as well. We came because my wife had always wanted to see a live salsa band, and it turned out to be a great, unique experience. Highly recommended if you're looking for something like this. Be sure to check the website for upcoming events and make a reservation. The place is small, but totally worth it.

    A place to be on a Monday night of your looking to have dinner, learn some salsa moves and dance the night away. The service is great and always attentive. Monday night has a set menu. It is more on the pricier side place a service change on top. But chance down the oxtail is my fav and is exploding with so much flavor.

    I come here every year for an annual holiday party. The evening is filled with music, salsa dancing, food and gift exchanges. The staff is always great, providing whatever is needed for a crowed of 50 or so. There are a few stand out dishes here, ropa vijeas is really good, the filete con pollo is juicy and the empanadas. I enjoy them all with rice, beans and plantains. My beverage of choice is usually the margarita or mojito. Located in a small strip mall, the shared parking lot is usually crowded. There is metered and free parking on the street. Great Cuban food here.

    The food was really good! It tastes like a home cooked meal and they were very accommodating with a party of 10 walking in around 3pm. I've also been to this place for salsa dancing classes and those were very fun and anyone without experience can go and have a good time!

    Old School vs New School I will always choose Old School. And this is my ultimate favorite old-school spot of mine. Service was top-notch our server whom I've forgotten his name(sorry) was a young gentleman with a very handsome face. Could be a model. Food and Drinks were so good we ordered the ox-tail (duh) Lol and Arroz con Pollo and kept the mojitos coming. The music was good the band was new and they were playing here for the first time. We enjoyed them!

    Pollo Asado a la Cubana

    Absolutely best Cuban food in all of LA! It's been years since we've been here and it's reassuring to know nothing has changed. The chicken is still moist, flavorful, tender with lots of garlic. The arroz con frijoles negros and plátanos maduros were spot on and the yuca out of this world. Salsa night is fun here, too. If you like Cuban food and want an incredibly authentic meal, this is your place. Free parking in lot out front.

    Great selection of wine ....

    Recently visited Isla because I was craving some Ropa Vieja and thats exactly what I had!…read more Been here a few times and other than the place being noticeably not crowded, all is great just as I had remember. The whole vibe is on point with a great wait staff and delicious food. Had reservations for 7:15 pm and was immediately seated. Waiter stop by to introduce himself and took our drink order for 2 old fashioned cocktails. Started off with the chicken empanadas and for the main Ropa Vieja of course. My guest went with the Ranchera Asada, which I was able to sample. Another delicious dish but my favorite still stands. For dessert the flan. Made fresh daily. Can't go wrong here. No complaints and no regrets. I will be back again soon. On to the next....

    Went to ISLA for lunch with a client. I've never really had Cuban food before, so I wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect, but the food was really good. We started with the ceviche and empanadas. The ceviche was a little sweet, which was different, but still really good. The empanadas were good too, we had the beef so next time i want to try a different protein I got the chicken sandwich. Pretty simple, but really good. The fires were good, i like the shoe string ones. My coworker got the habanero salmon and I tried some of hers. I was expecting it to be spicy, but it really wasn't. I don't have a high spice tolerance and it was fine for me. Service was okay, but the restaurant was clean and modern. Prices were pretty reasonable too, especially nowadays. Overall, good food, reasonable prices and for sure somewhere I'd go back to

The staff here is incredible -- Audrey was so kind, welcoming, and hardworking. Thank you for such great service! While waiting, they have pitchers of ice-cold orange-infused and lemon-infused water available, which is such a thoughtful touch. My chai latte was also perfect and gave me the little boost I needed. I can't wait to come back and try the Tres Leches pancakes and the Tres Leches cheesecake. I love this place and can't wait for my next visit!  Thank you! Support Local.p

    Have been coming here since Cafecito opened. As a returning customer, I always order the Palomilla…read moresandwich and a side of black beans but what I received today was a total disappointment. The Palomilla sandwich had tough and chewy meat with a sad portion of broken up shoestring fries, and the top piece of bread was razor thin and falling apart, leaving it essentially open faced. See pics for more details. The beans were almost entirely liquid broth looking like the bottom of the pot than a proper side. The meal felt like it was put together from the end of the day leftovers sadly. I know there is new staff upfront and in the kitchen, but serving food in this condition is unacceptable. I'm posting this with photos in the hope that management sees it and gets quality control back to where it used to be.
