La Isla Bonita Restaurante

We ordered carryout while visiting for my friend Laura’s basic training graduation, and this place was such a highlight of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious with perfectly cooked meats, sweet plantains, tostones, and yellow rice that tasted just like home. The only thing missing was the Puerto Rican dipping sauce, but honestly everything was so flavorful it did not matter. The owner was kind, funny, and welcoming, and the staff had such cool, friendly attitudes. I came in with painted nails and felt right at home. They are definitely LGBTQIA+ friendly, which made the experience even better. We took our food back to the base for family day, and it meant so much to my friend since her wife is Puerto Rican. It felt like bringing a little piece of home to celebrate together. If yo

Highly recommend. Amazing Puerto Rican food, Angela and her employees make you feel like you’re part of the family. I ordered a double Jibarito with steak and pork, I didn’t leave a drop of foo on the plate it was so good. And I took 3 plates Togo for the family. Food is always fresh and delicious l. So if you’re looking for good authentic Puerto Rican food with a welcoming atmosphere this is the place to go.

I ordered thru Door dash they delivered a combination of yellow rice n peas, sweet plantain, Cuban sandwich. The entire meal was over salted dry and old. Not fresh stay away from Cuban sandwich it is not a true Cuban sandwich growing up in nyc a Cuchifrito shop would never sell yesterdays rice n peas. My recommendation is that you go in person to actually see the food and the restaurant

Amazing food and service. The owners are great. A new favorite for me.

My husband and I moved to SC from the Bronx a few years ago. If you know anything about NY, the Hispanic culture there is like nothing else. So as a Puerto Rican, being away from that along with being away from family can be hard. We came to this restaurant for the first time yesterday for a friend's birthday, and let me tell you, it was so nostalgic. The atmosphere. The decor. The food (delicious by the way, I'd been literally dreaming of mofongo since I moved here). The host was warm, welcoming, and funny. It felt like visiting abuela's house. As my husband put it, "It feels like home." I was also happy that it was allergy safe because I have a shellfish allergy and they assured me that they cook their seafood separately. We'll definitely be going again, and I just want to say to the ow
