It was my first time coming here. I’m originally from NYC but live in Charlotte, NC. Anyways, but Chef V is the bombs! Her customer service is on point. They had a special so I ordered yellow rice with steak & onions and came with beans and tostones. I also got the mayo & ketchup sauce and that garlicy taste soooo good! I would definitely stop by again

La Isla Spanish Restaurant is an amazing experience all the way around… DELICIOUS Puerto Rican food, AMAZING service, and a very relaxing and even DELIGHTFUL atmosphere. I love the Puerto Rico-inspired artwork and decor!!

So glad I found this place. The food is fresh, well-cooked, flavorful, seasonings are well balanced and the atmosphere is warm, clean and inviting. The staff is very friendly. I had the yellow rice and beans dish with stewed chicken. They throw in a couple of tostones if you want. Delicious. Highly recommend. Yes, I would drive here from West Haven again. It’s worth it.

Went to the place as a casual lunch spot just as they opened for the day. Very good, freshly made food. Had their freshly fried chicharon, rice with pulled pork and beans platter, and honey (insert tropical fruit) habenero wings. All items hit the spot, especially the seasoned rice! Perfectly seasoned, not salty and paired well with the “jous” of the pulled pork and beans. Family owned restaurant with the owners giving goodadvuce what to try as a first timer. Will spread the word and will come back again.

Delicious. Enough said. The only complaints I’ve had were not food related. Rice, seasoned to perfection, pork belly was porkin’ and the cups were deliciously filled with shredded pork and their pork plantain cups, great. I could probably eat just the rice alone, but luckily it can pair with some delicious protein. The empanada I had was good as well and held itself well for breakfast the next morning. The restaurant is relatively small but is equipped with a handful of tables for those who would rather dine in. The parking lot isn’t huge, but I have never had a problem getting in or out in a timely manner. They have desserts there as well. I always ordered to go as I was always on the move. Got everything in a decent time, and staff will always greet you. The only problem I had was when I ordered an extra side of pork belly (extra money), I didn’t receive one. So, make sure you check your takeout order before leaving! If This place is sort of close to Quinnipiac University and if you haven’t tried, you probably should. If I’m ever back in town I will surely love to come back, maybe try the wings next time!

This family- and friend-owned restaurant is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with kindness and amazing customer service that makes you feel right at home. The staff is attentive, friendly, and you can tell they truly care about their customers.
The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish is seasoned perfectly and served hot, and the portions are generous. You can taste the pride they put into their cooking.
If you’re looking for great food, warm service, and a place that treats you like family, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommended! May the Lord continue to bless this family and their service for the community.

I called to place a catering order last minute.
They were able to fill my last minute order and when I called to ask to have it earlier than I originally asked there was no hesitation when the young lady cook replied with a yes. When I came EARLY I had to call for her to meet me at the door with the food and she attempted to carry it to my car for me. My work friends continuously told me how delicious the pulled pork was and they all asked where did I get it from! So if you are in Hamden and want Spanish food come here! They won’t disappoint.
