Absolutely love this place. My go to when I'm at work. The staff is very nice and helpful. Always pleasant....Food is always made with love

I know they are NOT seriously calling themselves a Puerto Rican spot. NO NO NO flavor!! I had the pork chops and sweet plantains...no flavor for the chops and the bananas were hard. NO ICE??!!!! Are you serious??!! The pasteles were bland, the masa had no abundance of meat!!! Chicken with salad, how can you ruin that??!! They did!!!! I'm so disappointed. Wow! if you want a tasty meal, head to Domino's next door!!! read more

Izla - Just tables and chairs. The decor is ok. - Puerto Rican Near Me - Fishkill, New York

I ordered beans with my white rice, and it was horrible. The flan was not homemade but out of a box. The roasted chicken smelled amazing, but once you bite into it, there was no flavor but a lot of seasoning that was not giving on the taste buds. The chicken soup was not hitting as well. This is not authentic, but it shortens and takes away the love and attention Puerto Rican food gives. I thought I was having a home-cooked meal, but I ended up with disgusting food. I had to throw it all away, and 38 dollars were wasted. SMH very very disappointed. Trust me don't waste your time going there and hard earn money. read more

Steam table food, cheap paper plates and plastic utensils in a packet. This is sit down dining?! The food isn't kept out of the "danger zone" below 40° or above 140°. Just put a forkful in your mouth or look for steam rising from the take out containers you're eating from. It's not there. There are no Servers, basically food runners. You order at the counter, find a table, get your plastic wrapped tableware from a jar, napkins next to them and wait.... for your food. That comes in take out containers They were doing better during the height of Covid. Go figure?! Maybe it's new people and management. I don't know. I do know I won't recommend them; and G-d forbid take any Boriquas there. Here's your gratuity! You want a tip? Stay out of the Bronx !!! You pseudo-Ricans! read more

When they first opened several years ago, I was very excited to have a local place to get pernil. We tried it a couple times and were disappointed. Now, several years later, I thought if they are still there, they must have gotten good. Wrong. Everything is too salty. Cheese empanadas had all the cheese cooked out of them--empty, fried pouches of greasy air. Chicken was dry as a desert, and yes, too salty. Black beans looked like they came straight from a can--no flavor. Rice overcooked with little to flavor it. Pernil? Boring, flavorless. I hate writing bad reviews. But this is ridiculous. I spent a bunch of money for food that's going in the trash. read more

As a Puerto Rican I must say this food is official! I have tried other Latin restaurants ( non Mexican) And I find sometimes the light on the seasoning and to be honest some have barely any this food taste good My mom had the smothered steak and onions delicious The rice had flavor and I must admit the all-time favorite was what I ordered the creamy garlic chicken holy smokes so good. read more

Food is pretty good! Little disappointed that they don't have sorullitos :( But, their alchapurrias are delicious! The staff are pretty friendly too which is always a plus. read more

Izla has excellent food. It really tastes homemade and the entree options are many and also quite diverse. This restaurant is also clean and inviting. The only downside is that the staff at Izla often seems a bit harried and out of sorts. Orders may take longer than expected and they are not particularly organized. Despite this, if you don't mind a little unexpected wait time and some measure of disorganization, the food is quite tasty. read more

Seems like Izla has been stepping up their game! We were looking for some really good food, close to home. I was opposed to ordering food from here because I wasn't thrilled during my last two visits but eventually gave in. I figured I'd try the pernil and if it disappointed me, that would be the last straw! But WOW, that pernil was soooo delicious. It was so juicy, tender and was exactly what I was looking for. The rice and gandules were just perfect and the portion is huge. The carne frita was so buttery and the portion size is enough for two meals. The yuca fries were the absolute best, I don't know how they make them so golden and cooked to perfection. I was absolutely stuffed afterwards and very pleased! Izla please keep up the good work and please be this good (if not better) during my next visit, I'm counting on you! Safe to say they're redeeming themselves and I'll be back. read more

Empty at lunch time was first red flag. Lack of the aroma of Spanish food second red flag. Wife wanted to eat here so we did. Food was mediocre, but no biggie. Then we're walking out and Arianna accuses us of not paying for the second soda we never took. When we point this out she became defensive and aggressive instead of just shutting up and letting us walk out. I decided to return the $2.06 can we never even opened for a full refund. I'd fire this employee , she's making sure the few people who actually walk in, don't come back. Go to nellys go to cafe con leche, anywhere but here. Never again read more

Food it's delicious we got the Cuban sandwich, fried plantain and yuca fried and another potato dish like salad with apple.. EVERYTHING was delicious authentic flavors , service it's good very attentive and friendly the place may need a little ceiling fan here and there not super luxury but you forgot about as soon as you got your food at the table... definitely worth it!!! read more

Izla - Puerto Rican Near Me - Fishkill, New York

Today is my birthday. I decided to show this place some love since there aren't many Latin restaurants in the Hudson Valley. The fact that there was no aroma of any food whatsoever and it being empty at lunchtime should have been dead giveaways, but it was a long drive so I persisted. Hubby and I got the lunch specials and I got a can of ginger ale. They took more than 15 minutes to bring the food out. So when it finally came, I exchanged my unopened can of soda for a colder one in the fridge. The food was salty plain and awful. Hubby had the steak and arroz con gandules and I had the roast pork and yuca. To be fair the roast pork was passable. Everything else was the worst Puerto Rican food I've ever had the displeasure of paying for. I didn't finish my lunch and as I was leaving I was told I needed to pay for the second soda I took from the fridge. I turned and replied that I didn't take a second soda, I merely replaced my soda with a colder one as mine had gotten warm while I was waiting for them to bring my lunch. Ariana then said I didn't have to get nasty with her about it. I then told her I'm losing my voice and am incapable of yelling and was merely stating facts. I then asked her if people steal from the establishment a lot while they're on camera. She continued to say she was just defending herself and not accepting responsibility as the person who initiated this situation. I didn't actually "get nasty" with this young lady at any point but definitely had the right to after her insinuation that I was stealing. Needless to say I wont be going back. I'd say fire her, but no one seems to go there anyway. It'll die slow I guess. Nelly's and Cafe Con Leche have no worries with this place. read more

I'm from Sacramento, where you can find plentiful authentic Mexican restaurants. But of course, as a Bronx native, I crave my Puerto Rican Food (just like my Mami used to make it)! On my last visit to Fishkill, my brother and I discovered Izla "A taste of Puerto Rico" Restaurant. We had to try it! I can honestly say it was very authentic and good! We both enjoyed the Bistec Encebollado with Arroz con Gandules and a side of Sweet Plantains (Plátanos Dulces). The rice was a tad dry, but otherwise the food was good. They also serve huge portions. So huge, we ended up taking enough home to make for a plentiful lunch the next day! Highly recomended. read more

Been going here forever at their other location in Jefferson Valley. Always good food

Been to the location in Jefferson Valley and I couldn't wait for this new one to open up so we could try it! I think it's been open about a week! We went on Friday night and there were quite a few people there but we quickly placed an order and grabbed a table. Waited a long time for our order but I know there's always growing pains with a new place and I know that will be worked out eventually. We had the pernil, maduros, pasteles, alcapurrias and the garlic corn. Let me tell you it was worth the almost hour wait! I don't say that often! Everything was fabulous! The pernil was so delicious that I would have ordered more if not for the long wait! The pasteles were the best I've had in a long time and I'm speaking from experience as a Puerto Rican who grew up in the Bronx eating these for Christmas every year! The alcapurrias didn't disappoint and the maduros were heavenly! YES I want more! Will try ordering ahead next time and like I said I know all new places need time to adjust so I'm sure the wait time will improve. I also have to add that the service was friendly despite how busy they were and everyone was very apologetic when they found out how long we'd waited. But I'm definitely hooked and will be back soon because I can't stop thinking about the pernil and the pasteles! read more

I would give them a higher score but some issues. I ordered the food over the phone and then waited in my car until my 20 mins for it to be ready. As I sat outside looking into Izla. There was a person working behind the counter filling up the rice and beans bowls and he had his MASK below his nose! Why would you do that with all the COVID issues. He should wear his mask correctly. So when I called to tell them I was there a guy answered not enthusiastic at all like I was bothering them and not friendly. It was very strange. Got my food at the table outside and I asked the girl if she put the mojito sauce in the bag and she said she didn't know if it was in bag it and wasn't sure so she said we can get two complementary mojito sauces so she went in to get it and only brought one. If you don't know if we were given any and we are allowed two why don't you bring two out. That was really annoying. Luckily they have good food. My bf had the pork mofongo and I had the pastaleone both tasty and we split the Tango shrimp. I'm pretty sure it comes with two avacado halves (one whole avocado) every time I've gotten it from the Izla in Jefferson valley this one only has 1 half avocado. That is all, I'll try again when they all start wearing there masks correctly. read more

On a scale from 1-5 I would have to give the food a 3. Most of it had very little spices and taste. Kinda bland. The tostones are supposed to be firm almost hard but they were soft almost like maduros. The staff were welcoming and great. If you are near by try it out. I will try on a different day and time and see how it goes. As for price from 1-4 $ I would say cost is $$$. read more

I placed a catering order after looking online at the catering menu and most of the items I ordered were charged a different price. I called the store back and the manager Kiara was not there. Spoke to Sam and she said there is nothing that she can do to adjust the price or refund my order. We were looking for a price adjustment but at this point, we are disappointed that there is nothing that can be done right now. She told us the manager is only there on Thursday, so we have to wait until then to go in and talk to the manager. This is disappointing and very ridiculous. read more

Only visit Izla when the kids are requesting local empanadas, it's the best thing on the menu. But this is more of a Customer Service suggestion for La Izla. -When someone buys a dozen empanadas($27) or more, the garlic mojito sauce(2minimum) should be a inclusive. Customer should not have to arrive home to realize that it wasnt added nor asked at the store if one would like. read more

Really good food - as close to the Bronx asi am going to get. I wish they had more vegan options but everything is really good and very fresh read more

Nope! Order maduros or tostones fine. Alcapurias, pasteles, pernil... no! None of it tastes anything like a Puerto Rican family dinner. The garlic sauce is a joke. The pernil is so underseasoned. The alcapurias are so not worth it. Nothing tasted like home. Nothing tasted like grandma, mom, aunt, grandpa, grandpa's sister or my food. Nothing tasted like I would get it on the island or in nyc. Things can be done a little differently and still taste right. This was not the case. I just wanted that home cooked taste without having to do it myself. I'd be embarrassed to bring my family here, we'd have to hold grandma back from storming into the kitchen to kick everyone out and do it herself. They simply made it clear my local Puerto Rican spot is my kitchen. Funny how a lot of Latinos in the area warned me for yrs. I was homesick and thought if it's good I could take breaks from cooking. I gave it two stars because it was edible but not good. Don't eat here and think your getting a good representation of Puerto Rican cuisine. read more

The most authentic Boriquan meal you can have outside of someone's home. It tastes just like I'm back home in the Boogie Down (Bronx NY.) The Pernil was very flavorful and juicy and the mojito sauce was perfect! To top it off the great coustumer service my wife and I received paired with the affordable prices I have found a new favorite restaurant close to home. The staff was great the atmosphere was up beat and all the food looked authentic. I highly recommend this place! read more

1-Stars because the appetizers we had was on the good side. Not the best but good. We had the relleno de papa, beef pastelillos, alcapurria & pastele. They used very little meat but the taste was good. We were a groups of 4. We had white rice black beans and the pernil. Had some pastelon and bacalao mofongo. Black beans were not saucy. Very watery to the look. The pernil was good. Not delicious but good. The mofongo was very dry. Needed some oil! The pastelon was HORRIBLE. No beef what so ever, it tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago, stored in the fridge then re-heated in a microwave. I also ordered a chicken cutlet with white rice and beans. Sadly again they are CHEAP VERY CHEAP on the meat. The chicken cutlet was more cutlet then chicken. It was a very thin slice of chicken to the point when it was friend......the chicken became super dry!!! I will NOT COME AGAIN! Service- HORRIBLE. I am Puerto Rican and it is a disgrace to walk into a Puerto Rican restaurant/eatery and not be greeted or have great customer service. We are vibrant people and welcoming. The workers were all young and stood around doing nothing talking to one another and truly worked and acted like they didn't want to be there. read more

Was passing through with a tight window of time, so ordered online an hour ahead to make sure I could pick it up within that window. Got there and they had just given my order to someone else a few minutes ago thinking it was me. (WHO DOES THAT?!?) They offered to remake everything which would take 15-20, time I didn't have. No offer to comp for that order or for future. Told them to just refund everything. Too frustrating an experience and too incompetent a waitstaff to ever go back to again. read more
