Isla Cuban-latin Kitchen And Rum

I ordered empanadas and fries, as I had been craving empanadas for a while. The waiter mentioned there would be four, but I only received three, which was disappointing. However, the empanadas were delicious, filled with beef, and the fries tasted fresh, though they were only slightly larger than a small fry from McDonald's. Would I return? I'm uncertain. The food wasn't bad at all, but I really wish the place had better lighting and a lower volume level for the music.

Took my girlfriends to this place, it is such a vibe!!! Great music to dance too and not to mention the delicious food and must try drinks!!

So I tried this place two times, not for a dine-in experience as most of the time is fully booked, but to take home. They have very friendly staff and the place looks great though. My review is about the food I had. Both times, I wasn't impressed. The chicken fricasé sauce had an overwhelming tomato paste flavor, so I assume no fresh tomatoes were used, the beans and rice were just ok. I wanted to give this place a second chance later and I had the garlic shrimp mofongo, very bland and just overall an ok dish. I've had similar dishes at other local cuban restaurants that were way better, second disappointment. I doubt I would go back again.

It was our family's first time trying this place and I must say it was amazing! Both the food and customer service were top notch. All the dishes we ordered including appetizers and dessert were all so flavorful and so good! Our server Elizabeth was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. She made great recommendations and helped us select some great food. She was knowledgeable about the menu and familiar with each dish which was so helpful for a first timer. The hostess that seated us Kaitlyn, was friendly helpful and sweet. She listened to us and made us feel like important customers. Our water and drinks never went empty! This is so important. A lot of places have good food but lack the customer service aspect. This place does NOT disappoint. Lastly, for those looking to try this place, I highly suggest making a reservation in advance otherwise the wait can be long. They seemed to seat their reservations quickly.

I left Aye Amigo feeling great! I can’t quite remember the details, but the service and food were fantastic, and I definitely plan to come back. The oxtail and lomo saltado were both delicious, and the triple leches cake paired with the Cafe Cubano made for a perfect ending to our meal.
