Isla Mexican Kitchen
April 3rd, 2008 in Restaurants and Bars
Isla Mexican Kitchen fits in with the growing trend of upscale/casual restaurants in Vegas. It’s a trend I enjoy and mixes good quality service, presentation and food without the stuffy atmosphere that formal upscale dining sometimes suffers from. Our party of two arrived on a Friday night without reservations and was seated within 15 minutes. The atmosphere was lively and fun and we were greated with salsa and chips that we enjoyed whilst looking over the menu.
The drinks menu features an extensive selection of tequilas, as well as Sangrias, Margaritas, and other Mexican cocktails. I ordered a Negro Modelo, an appetizer of Crunchy Corn Masa Cakes, and Fajitas for my main course. The Corn Masa Cakes were pretty good. There are three Cakes each with different toppings, one beef, one chicken and one pepper. My wife and I agreed that the one topped with peppers (at least I think they were peppers) had the best flavor although the chicken one was pretty good too. At over $25 the Fajitas were the most expensive Fajitas I have ever eaten. Luckily they were awesome. Beautifully presented the mixture of beef, chorizo sausage, peppers, onion, cheese rocked!!
Overall if you enjoy Mexican food I can definitely recommend Isla. We had a great time and the food was very good.
