Editorial Review for Isla Mexican Kitchen – by Ryan Slattery
In Short
Trendy singles sip margaritas prepared by the Tequila Goddess at rose-petaled, resin-topped tables in the lounge, or in the restaurant decorated with blue-tile walls and bright, abstract paintings. Latin music plays as diners choose from a variety of guacamoles made tableside, like the lobster and passion-fruit blend. Entrees feature inventive takes on traditional tacos and burritos, as well as bold dishes, including the grilled spiced chicken or Mexican meatballs with chipotle-tomato sauce.

Chef Richard Sandoval also has restuarants in New York and Denver. He is the master of Mexican-fusion cuisine, which takes everything you love about Mexican food and turns it into a work of art. My favorites are the rock shrimp ceviche, carne asada tacos, sauteed jumbo prawns maya, and the lobster guacamole! The restuarant features a tequila bar that has a "Tequila Goddess" which offers explanations on any of the more than 100 different tequilas they serve! They even offer "The Goddess Elixir" drink, which is a $99 margarita with 100 year anniversary gran marnier among other ingrediants. This is Mexican dining at it's best!
Pros: Incredible food and over 100 different tequilas.
Cons: Seating can be a little tight in some of the booths. Ask for a full table instead.

I'm neither Mexican nor Spanish, but to me the food tasted very authentic and not at all tex-mex as I expected. The starter portions such as the empanadas and tortilla samples were very generous. You can stick with the traditional fair such as tacos and burritos but I highly recommend the main courses. I've dined here twice and tried the skirt steak pyramid, pork medallions, and sampled my girl's pepper stuffed with spicy beef. Each main dish was unique, flavorful and well prepared. The service was attentive and relaxed. Wait staff did not try to shove those $7 bottle water. On the weekends in which we dined, the restaurant was almost full but not crowded which made the atmosphere pleasant. Entries are sub-$20 coupled with the high food quality, makes Isla is one of the best fine dining values on the Strip. It’s definitely a hidden gem among restaurants in Vegas. We will be coming back here again.
Pros: Very tasty food, not overly crowded, nice relaxed decor, excellent service.
Cons: There really is none that I can think of.
