My girlfriend and I went for breakfast on a Friday. As soon as you walk in you feel very welcomed and comfortable. The food was fantastic! I had the sweet plantain omelette with spanish white cheese and my girlfriend had the mushroom, swiss and ham omeltte. Both were fantastic as we like to share our meals to taste more. Will... more

I eat here from time to time when I'm in the Hoboken area. I haven't tried a meal yet that hasn't been delicious, from the garlic chicken and tostones to the vanilla custard and fruit drinks. My favorite is their Cuban sandwich which is one of the best I've ever ever had! The place is pretty small but there is... more

This is my favorite place to eat breakfast in the world. I always come over here when I am in NYC; it's a very short walk from the PATH station and ferry landing. The breakfast sandwich is one of the best deals you will find anywhere, and the Cuban Lattes are perfect. There is a long counter, making it comfortable... more

love it!

Not suitable for large parties since there aren't very many tables and they can only seat a... more

Deep fried plantains with garlic sauce come on the side with the sandwich. Don't forget to finish off the meal with a flan and an espresso. more

I have only had take-out from here and the food was great. The place is small and quaint...looks like a mess from the outside but that is half the appeal. Will definitely go back and eat there next time. more

I live in Hoboken and I am a HUGE fans of La Isla. It is a small unassuming place, looks like a diner in fact. The place is generally busy. It is BYOB, which I love. Great Cuban Sandwiches. My fave dishes are Shrimp in Garlic Sauce over Yellow Rice with a side of plantains. Pork Chops. Great Cuban coffee.... more
