We placed our drink order of margaritas, of course, ordered our food and got our drinks. The food was delivered in a timely fashion by someone other than our server. The server showed at our table 20 seconds after the other guy put our food on the table, said "everything good? Great!" Without even waiting for a reply, he walked away. We never saw him again until I had to flag him down from half across the restaurant for our checks after our drinks had sit empty for quite a while. I probably would have ordered another. The time was 7:30 pm when we came in so the dinner rush was pretty much over. The fajitas with steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo were good though. The staff were all very friendly, just MIA at times. I'll go back, despite this one event. Hopefully it was a fluke.

If you are at all familiar with Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, then you know it is a tiny little podunk town that has absolutely nothing to offer in the way of dining, entertainment, intellectual stimulation, etc. However, sometimes I am so tired on the weekends while visiting the fam that when it's time to eat I don't even have it in me to venture the 15 minutes into Frankfort where there are a least a few decent dining options. While the 'Burg has wayyyy too many Mexican restaurants (seriously, for a town this size, they have like six Mexican restaurants within 5 miles of one another), I think La Isla stands out as very good. Located in a former Hardee's building, it has done so well and gotten such a loyal following despite its competition, that they had even expanded, and have a nice little outdoor seating area (this is adventurous and upscale for the 'Burg). La Isla offers the usual in way of chips and salsa, gratis. Nothing out of the ordinary here. We usually just order whatever grilled sizzling meat there is, smothered in excessive cheese, served with beans and sides of rice with more cheese. The food is your usual Americanized Mexican fare. But, it is very cheap, tasty and fresh and the portions are ridiculously generous (I always get the Pollo Monterey + grilled jalapeños - yummy). The staff are always very friendly, and I have not had any issues with the cleanliness (rare for me).

Very nasty front foyer. You can smell the bathrooms. Rest of the dinning hall needs good cleaning on a regular basis. If the food was not fantastic I would never go back. But the food is that good.

Patio is a four, food is a one. Service is a two. The salsa is canned tomatoes put in the blender with a couple sprigs of cilantro. It tastes like tomato juice. They do have a tomatillo salsa that was way hot. That was the best thing I had. This is the second time I have eaten here. The food is gross. It's not authentic whatsoever. I suppose there are crappy restaurants in Mexico as well but they are probably near the border. A good test for authenticity, if the menu has an entree called speedy Gonzales, it's probably not authentic. If the place is packed with middle aged white people with fish bowls full of neon green margaritas, probably not authentic. I had enchiladas ranchera. I received two soggy flour tortillas covered in ez melt cheese and a bland slightly sweet tomato sauce. I am not a fan of anyplace that serves fake cheese. I don't even want soy cheese but that would be better than a cheese food made from vegetable oil. I don't even know what the gf had. I don't think she knows either. It was a big pile of crap also covered in ez melt. If I found this in the yard I would rush my dog to the vet. It just didn't look like anything you would want to eat. After she tasted a couple bites it turns out it was not anything she wanted to eat. I did enjoy my one beer in the sun. I would have had another had our waiter bothered to check on us. Won't be back. Will drive to lexington before going here again.

Fast. Great service. I will be dreaming of the grilled chicken quesadilla for a while!!! Would absolutely detour for it again!!

Growing up in Kentucky, I was never a fan of Mexican food. While I have some nostalgia for Chi-Chi'a, and giggle now that I know what it means in Spanish, it took moving away to Texas to become a fan because I found out what good Mexican and Tex-Mex foods were supposed to be like. La Isla gets it right. The food is always good regardless of which dish I've tried. The atmosphere is nice and the expansion much needed. I've never experienced the service problems others have but I hope that hasn't become the norm. Even then, hopefully a few friendly comments from customers will steer it in the right direction because Lawrenceburg doesn't have many good options. As such, I'll give them some decent leeway.

Despite some of the reviews I read we decided to give it a try. Very good prices and the fajitas were delicious. I would recommend trying this place.

Wanted lunch on the road that wasn't fast food. They have an A sanitation rating which might be the best thing about the place. Food is very mediocre. Service was friendly. Order something 'safe'. I ordered a hard-shelled beef taco and a tostaguac. Taco was bland but OK. Guacamole on the tostada was some awful inferior commercially prepared brand. I had to scrape it off. Don't waste your money. Chips were OK. Salsa very average.

This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Once they became the only gig in town (for a brief period of time) they became really busy and hired a bunch of other staff that completely suck. The new staff are unfriendly and they fail to be attentive. We stopped going there after our server completely ignored us once he took our order. He did not provide drink refills and wouldn't bring our check, even after he said he would "be right back." The food has always been really good, so I do miss it. They also significantly raised their prices. It's a shame the place went down hill, it used to have such a close knit, friendly staff. But they are no longer the only Mexican restaurant in town, so that's where I now spend my time and money.

La Isla used to be my favorite place. We'd eat here every Friday night. They started to get way too busy and the new staff that was hired to help just didn't make the place the same anymore. It lost the friendly feel that it used to have. The prices even increased too. The food is excellent, but we've moved on to other restaurants, and may check back in at a later date.

Although very busy, we were seated in a reasonable time. Food and service very good. We will definitely be returning.

Great margaritas. Good food, served promptly, and at a reasonable price. We'll be back. Local place. Not fancy, but well worth visiting.
