    Inside

    So coming from south Florida I really don't expect much from Mexican food in the Carolina's but I was totally blown away. Located in the new Publix plaza is Nixtamal my new favorite restaurant! We were seated immediately and within seconds given fresh chips and salsa. If you're questioning whether or not you should get the table side guacamole the answer is always yes. Super fresh and tasty perfect amount of everything. We ordered the el jefe which was grilled shrimp, chicken and steak with onions pineapple and cheese. It was the perfect amount to share between two people. Seasoned to absolute perfection so tasty I'm still thinking about it. The drink menu is also amazing we ordered a strawberry mojito and it was one of the best I've ever had. The inside is a cute ambiance with black leather booths and a nice bar area. There's also plenty of seating outside when the weather gets warmer. Service was excellent and we were checked on numerous times. Can't wait to come back here!!

    Birria torta and carne Asada tacos

    I have been to Nixtamal twice. They start you with chips and salsa. They can also do table side guac.. The Birria torta was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and the bread was not soggy which is usually the case for most Birria tacos. The portions were large and great for left overs. The carne asado taco was also a top pick, great flavors. The carnitas was a miss. The flavor was lacking and the meat had dry pieces. Overall it's a great establishment. Great ambiance and service. They also have daily lunch specials.

    The service was slow I had to find someone to see they would take our order. We finally ordered and they got my husband's order wrong. They take his off the bill. We probably won't be back again. Boiling Springs, SC

    10/10!!!! I ordered the Ultimate ACP and it was muy delicioso. I also ordered the tabletop guacamole which I really need the recipe to. The service was impeccable. Everyone was so nice and friendly. The decor is also beautiful. It looks like everything was handcrafted as well the name of the restaurant was engraved in the seats. I love a good authentic Mexican restaurant. I'd definitely recommend this to everyone.

    Parrillada! $25 can share for the family.

    The spot. Moved recently here. Less than a year in this area. We move quite a bit and start looking for our Mexican food place quick. After a few misses in the area we officially landed on this gem. Food is great, prices great and good service. The search is over. This is my spot now.

    The decor looks beautiful When we first walked in nobody was in here One of the waiters had a little bit of attitude Make a lot of nose Interrupt went to use the bathroom and there is liquid all over the floor Food is absolutely delicious And it saved this whole experience Overall 3.5/5

    Table side guacamole

    The people, the food, the place was amazing! I give it all the stars! My husband and I go to Mexican restaurants all the time. In town for a few days and decided to try this one. So glad we did! This is the best we have ever had. And the table side, freshly made guacamole was amazing!

We came there and they right away, sat us down. We didn't even have to wait for anything and we ordered our food. The servers were outstanding and very hospitality. We ordered a seafood plate linguine and I ordered their burgers that came with fries and we were very satisfied and then my husband wanted to try a dessert because everything else taste wonderful. He really enjoyed the chocolate brownie dessert with ice ice cream. And then we got our BILL! The crazy thing about is that it was so cheap for everything we ordered. Our whole Bill with seafood plate linguine burger with fries and brownie with ice cream was $36 total. We were so shocked we haven't paid this low in such a long time for dinner especially a nice place and we were very satisfied with the meal. After that, I told my husband this is one of our date night places because it's Family budget friendly.

We started with salads and excellent ceviche and "Down South" oysters as we found the pimento cheese and bacon topping to be a fun twist on oysters Rockefeller. We had the 16 and 13 year old in tow and while our kids have open minds and pallets when it comes to food, there were some slight questions about the menu options. There was a kids menu that was standard and I'm sure would accommodate most kids; but, I would say Isla's menu is sophisticated and can be appreciated by a more mature audience. Our 13 year old ordered the shrimp and grits and won the best entree of the night. It's a nice twist using a grit cake as opposed to traditional shrimp and grits but the flavor of the tomato and chorizo gravy along with the texture of the crispy grit cake was an interesting and nice change from the norm. I will definitely go back and try additional entrees. Overall, all the dishes were well put together, well seasoned and paired with a nice wine list that had variety for all tastes. Last, I will say the service was among the best we've had locally. Brandon was attentive, informative and accommodating throughout our evening experience. Thank you to Isla's for a wonderful first experience. I look forward to returning soon!

It looked the way I wear one when I'm cleaning my house. (2) We were going to order some drinks but the bar was closed and only canned or bottled beer was available so that was a bummer. (3) We could BARELY understand what the server was saying and she was American ‍. (4) The menu was ok, you can choose different items like a mix and match boil and we ordered crab leg boil and shrimp boil which came out relatively quick in a puffed up plastic wrap. It comes with 2 small potatoes and 1 piece of corn mixed in. The food was very good!! No complaints on that at all. Nicely seasoned and plenty of juice to sop up the corn and potatoes with. Regardless of the minor flaws, I would recommend this place for the food alone!

First it started off with not being served or seeing our waitress for at least 10 minutes, mine you it was not busy surprisingly. Then when our waitress came she did not apologize for the wait. Next when she brought us the food we were missing shrimp out of our order and after correcting it, it still seemed like it was skimpy in sauce and protein. If that wasn't bad enough our server kept disappearing for long periods of time. When I attempted to address management about the issue, they didn't apologize or make up for the horrible service. When time to check out our bill had extra mussels even though we didn't order those. So overall this was a highly disappointing time and I don't know if I will be back.
