    Cute truck
    Christy S.

    This cute little food truck is just a short drive off of the main highway. The truck is nestled into an area with tropical foliage and some cute vacation cottages. There are a few tables for dining here, but we took our food to go. The server greeted me and took my order, and after about a 5-7 minute wait, I got my food to go. I ordered the daily special, which was 3 Al Pastor tacos and a drink. When I got to the hotel, I realized they had given us 3 fish tacos. They were still very good. Our other entree was a steak quesadilla, which was pretty good, but I had a couple of bites of gristle in the meat, which is a little off putting. The overall flavor was good. This is a good place for a quick, affordable lunch if you are in the area.

    Tacos: steak, fish, shrimp

    The food was delicious! The fish tacos and shrimp tacos were my favorite. Nice laid back environment with a couple picnic tables to eat at. Service was friendly and fast.

    Very cute little food truck area. There is a bar which is a separate business with a time hut. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos and my husband had the carne asada tacos. 3.75 for each taco They are small so if you are hungry you will need about 4 tacos. Service was good not overly friendly.

    La Isla Taco Grill is an awesome taco truck right outside of Tropical Cottages, not even 1/4 mile off of the main road. The food here was really great and the service was fast and friendly. They have a few tables you can sit at near the truck and there is an unrelated tiki bar just steps away that you could probably sit at if needed. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, steak nachos, chicken strips, and a fish taco. Everyone in the family enjoyed the food and it was fairly priced (around $13 each). If you're having issues finding it, just set your GPS for Tropical Cottages. Check out their hours because they do take a short break in the middle of the day. Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a great food truck.

    Some of the best tacos and street corn I've ever had. The food truck is located next to a Tiki Bar if you want a drink. The service was quick and friendly. These are traditional Mexican tacos. Really fresh ingredients. I would say the fish tacos,with Mahi Mahi, are the best thing to order.

    Chicken tacos

    Had to try on this trip after reading the great rating on a website for good restaurants on Marathon Key. Excellent tacos! I had one fish taco and one chicken taco and my daughter had two chicken tacos. Very good! Next time will try the steak taco also. Tacos were delish! Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely go back on our next trip! Recommend!!!

    Small burrito
    Becky U.

    Tiny burritos, also didn't get order right--no beans or rice added. Spent $50 dollars (two people) for two burritos, side of rice and beans, one street corn and left hungry still.

    steak taco and al pastor

    i had to hit this taco truck and try it before we leave the keys this weekend. food was great idk why its not busy maybe coz they just opened when i get there. the place have seats but limited.

    Our favorite (and most affordable!) taco in the keys! We stopped on the way up to Islamorada and loved it. They have plenty of seating behind the food truck with a full bar and bathroom. We got the pork and mahi tacos. Both were great and very fresh. Would definitely return.

    Food order and pickup.

    What a wonderful experience. Loving the food truck vib with plenty of seating. The shrimp are so fresh they pop in your mouth. The Mai fish tacos were also a winner along with Pastor. A must try if you happen through Marathon Keys.

    Chicken nachos
    Caitlin P.

    Food truck with a tiki hut and outdoor bar next door. Look for small ground level sign off route 1, drive straight back and find gravel parking on both sides of the street. Casual vibe, authentic flavors, fresh ingredients! Fresh limeade, Jarritos soda, and crunchy toppings. The service was fast and experience enjoyable. We dined for an early dinner, I'd recommend the tacos. Nachos were made with homemade chips but the flavor is in their seasonings and salsas. Stop in for a quick meal to go, or a casual outdoor island feel. Can't go wrong!

    Chicken burrito was excellent. Shrimp taco and street corn also very good. The key lime pie was the best I had on the Keys.

    We came here for a late dinner and to hopefully catch the sunset. We timed it fairly spot on. They…read moresaid it would be about a 20-25 minute wait but it actually took less than 15 minutes. We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29. Although good, not worth $29. My pasta definitely not worth the $31. May be a bit of a tourist trap but the food was decent.

    When my dad and I came here last year this place was great. A lot has changed. Our server was…read morehorrible, she only came to check on us once, and to give us the bill. we were seated around the bar around 1pm today. I ordered the calamari and ordered it plain without all the extras. It was so greasy and chewy. There was oil all over the plate. I sent it back. Mahi sandwich was good, but you get such a small amount of fish. It was very thin, and then I had to wait an extra five minutes after the food got there to get my side.

    I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.

Arrived around 11:30 on a Thursday and was able to park in the lot out front. It was full by the time we left, which was around 2. Arriving early is a good idea because the tables and lounge chairs fill up. The good: The woman who checked us in was chipper and welcoming. Very thorough explanation (a bit tedious, though) of everything available to us. Beach access in the Keys is definitely a bonus. Not expansive stretch here, but beach is beach.
