I normally choose to dine at the other Mexican restaurant in Hermitage, but went with family for lunch the other day to La Isla. It was pretty busy for lunch on a weekday, but we still had no wait. I was surprised by how cheap their lunch options were- I had the Burrito Grande and it was $7.99 for everything you see in the picture! I had enough for a second meal, though I didn’t think I would at first, but that’s also probably because I filled up on chips and salsa. The salsa is more blended compared to other places I’ve been, and I don’t particularly enjoy chunky salsa so that’s a win. I typically choose dishes at Mexican restaurants with shredded beef options, which La Isla does not have (at least on their lunch menu), although they have chopped beef, which is not as good in my opinion. For the burrito grande, I chose ground beef and it was pretty good. While the food was good, I don’t think it was as high quality as the other restaurant’s, and the flavor profile was simpler and not as stand-out “Mexican”. It was a good meal, but not one that stood out and encourages me to come back.

I was taken here by some family friends and it was my first time. We ordered Beef Steak Tacos, Jesus special, Chicken Fajita. I can’t tell you which of these was the best. They were all so amazingly super super delicious. Loved every bite I was taking if these. Sadly tummies have a limit or else I could have eaten this awesome food non-stop. To add to the already enjoyable food the owner and the server were so very friendly and kept a tab in us on a timely basis to ensure everything was perfect and so it was including the ambience. Would definitely go there many more times and highly recommend everyone to pay them a visit.

Very typical small town Mexican restaurant. Which is not a bad thing!! With small places such as this you get much more authentic food at much better prices. La Isla is a great place for quick meal or a family dinner. Service is very quick and the restaurant is clean! The menu has plenty of options as well
