I come here often & usually have a nice experience. Tonight, however, I can’t say the same. I was seated, and for 20 minutes, despite saying my drink order, the server didn’t bring water, bread or my drink.
At one point she does finally bring a thing of bread, but again… 20 minutes have gone by & I don’t even have a glass of water.
I got up & walked out. The restaurant wasn’t that busy. I watched as an older gentleman was seated behind me & as I’m getting up, I’m noticing a server put the tray down to serve their food….? That party came 10 minutes after me. Weird.

I had my birthday party here. Fred, the owner of this nice place, along with his team made sure my party of 25 was well taken care of. Food was great. I ordered the Pull Pork! Delicious! Dj was playing amazing Spanish music so bring your Salsa Dancing shoes!

If this was just based on service…. I would give this place 5 stars. Every server checked on us. Every server got an order from us. Every server took an empty dish from our table. The hostess could have been alil more friendly but everyone else.. all smiles..eager to meet our needs. Nothing was too big of a request. The drinks were amazing. I ordered their new Mango Remy mojito…Delicious! The passionfruit margarita was one of the best I ever had. The steak with onions and rice and gandules… Wow! My boyfriend got the chicken in lemon butter… Out of this world! We definitely said we need to come back during the night night. They had hookah available as well. The booth were cozy and private. You must try this place!

This was my very first time here. I had a great time with my lovely date. The vibe inside was electric. But the thing that stood out to me most was the service. My 2 servers constantly checked on us to make sure we were satisfied and if we needed anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. You gotta come see for yourself. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it took a while for our food to come out. But once it arrived, it was worth it. I had the red snapper. The presentation was so real that it almost made the fish seem still alive on my plate. I enjoyed the decor, the many TV screens, even one at your personal booth and the DJ was on point and took special latin requests after a nice tip I felt obligated to go him because he was so gracious. I recommend checking this place out. No riff raff either. This is a place you can take your lady to.

Food is soooooo good! Love the arroz con gandules and arroz con camarones in the cute oyas. Steak is tender. Ceviche is so fresh and yummy! Ropa vieja sooo good!!! Reasonable prices. Always something happening and they do a lot for and in the community. Happy hour 3-6pm, Taco Tuesdays 2 for $5, Thursdays karaoke, Free salsa lessons on Tuesdays at 8pm, comedy shows and live music on various weekends and they go ALL OUT for holidays w decor…big celebration coming up for Cinco de Mayo. An oasis in the community! Big space & 10 mins from Center City. Took friends there for my birthday and they ALLLLL loved it and some even ordered food to take home. They host events, fundraisers, birthdays. Many community leaders frequent the restaurant and host their events here. Plenty of free parking. Welcoming & fun atmosphere w professional & courteous staff. Stylish decor where can have privacy in a booth, a large table of friends, or sit around the bar which is always packed. They also have hookah.Highly recommend! And kid-friendly w plenty of FREE parking!

Been here many times over the years. like many places in philly, once they start getting really popular, the food and service start to suffer. theyre still a good 3.5 overall but i definitely dont go here as often as i used to.

Did not like the food at all. I ordered a Tripleta and it had no flavor. The empanadas were so small for too much money. I don’t recommend. Coqui does way better tripletas.

For a while Izlas has been a favorite spot of mine for delicious food, drinks, great music and the occasional hookah. Unfortunately, my last experience made me want to never return. We had a table for Valentines day which we were told we were paying $100 for a three course meal and a bottle of champagne. Upon arrival we are seated and when asking for our champagne we’re told we’re not getting a bottle— just a glass. For appetizers we had the lobster bisque and tostones rellenos… the bisque seemed straight from a can, I saw not one piece of lobster and the presentation and quantity of my tostones was disrespectful. If you’re going to serve me ONE bite sized toston then that should’ve been specified in the menu. TostoneSSS would imply more than one. Anyway, I decided to stay optimistic about the entree but my champagne arrived WARM after asking for it 4 times and the presentation and portion of the entree was once again DISRESPECTFUL. We both ordered Carne frita with garlic mash, both our meats were damn near charred, bone dry, and flavorless much to my surprise. The garlic mash was my favorite thing I ate that day until I bit into a clove of raw garlic. Dessert was next and I was really trying not to be mean because the servers here are always so nice to us. We order the Cookie with ice cream “LA GALLETA” as it appeared on the menu but when it arrived it was an under-cooked brownie with a spoon of cheap ice cream on top… i’ve honestly never been so disappointed with an establishment or the fact that we had a $200 tab for a less than subpar dining experience. The best part was the mojito we ordered. A jazz performance was advertised but it was more like spanish Jazz, the salsa group that performed was the only thing keeping me enthused. I felt horrible knowing how much we paid and still were hungry when we left, it feels horrible to write so many negative things about a place that was really a favorite of mine but I couldn’t just say nothing.
