★★★★★ 5.0 John Kahrs · Dec 2025

Best Mexican food in the Cedar Valley!!! Our new favorite for excellent food, choices and service. Tonight we had six in our party and they were busy. Excellent table service, drinks always full, food came out quick. We would give them 10 stars if we could. Our guest agreed it was the best Mexican food they had eaten in a long time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jubal Slone · Feb 2026

I'm so impressed! Excellent service, great prices, quality food, and a beautiful interior. I love Mexican food and there's a lot of competition here in the area, but La Isla gracefully stands out and has quickly become my new go-to!

This place was an overall 12/10! well seasoned food! Our servers name was Mari I believe, she was amazing and had a smile on her face the entire time, that goes a long ways with my boyfriend and I… she answered my questions as best as she could and checked on us periodically! This was our first time here and we are definitely coming back! we very much enjoyed everything! Portions were great and the atmosphere was great as well, there’s always someone coming around picking up no longer needed dishes! New fav place!

We stopped for lunch about 2pm on a Monday, so no wait time for seating. The service was prompt and we were served the salsa and chips, this was also accompanied with warm bean dip. The salsa had nice flavor that wasn't too spicy, including cilantro. The steak fajita burrito was great! I had the Cadillac Margarita that I would put up against any of the other local mexican restaurants. We will be back.

The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the classic margaritas are actually really good! Most places I’ve been to just serve the house margarita, which is bland, so I’m definitely going back!
