    So coming from south Florida I really don't expect much from Mexican food in the Carolina's but I was totally blown away. Located in the new Publix plaza is Nixtamal my new favorite restaurant! We were seated immediately and within seconds given fresh chips and salsa. If you're questioning whether or not you should get the table side guacamole the answer is always yes. Super fresh and tasty perfect amount of everything. We ordered the el jefe which was grilled shrimp, chicken and steak with onions pineapple and cheese. It was the perfect amount to share between two people. Seasoned to absolute perfection so tasty I'm still thinking about it. The drink menu is also amazing we ordered a strawberry mojito and it was one of the best I've ever had. The inside is a cute ambiance with black leather booths and a nice bar area. There's also plenty of seating outside when the weather gets warmer. Service was excellent and we were checked on numerous times. Can't wait to come back here!!

    Birria torta and carne Asada tacos

    I have been to Nixtamal twice. They start you with chips and salsa. They can also do table side guac.. The Birria torta was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and the bread was not soggy which is usually the case for most Birria tacos. The portions were large and great for left overs. The carne asado taco was also a top pick, great flavors. The carnitas was a miss. The flavor was lacking and the meat had dry pieces. Overall it's a great establishment. Great ambiance and service. They also have daily lunch specials.

    The service was slow I had to find someone to see they would take our order. We finally ordered and they got my husband's order wrong. They take his off the bill. We probably won't be back again. Boiling Springs, SC

    10/10!!!! I ordered the Ultimate ACP and it was muy delicioso. I also ordered the tabletop guacamole which I really need the recipe to. The service was impeccable. Everyone was so nice and friendly. The decor is also beautiful. It looks like everything was handcrafted as well the name of the restaurant was engraved in the seats. I love a good authentic Mexican restaurant. I'd definitely recommend this to everyone.

    Parrillada! $25 can share for the family.

    The spot. Moved recently here. Less than a year in this area. We move quite a bit and start looking for our Mexican food place quick. After a few misses in the area we officially landed on this gem. Food is great, prices great and good service. The search is over. This is my spot now.

    The decor looks beautiful When we first walked in nobody was in here One of the waiters had a little bit of attitude Make a lot of nose Interrupt went to use the bathroom and there is liquid all over the floor Food is absolutely delicious And it saved this whole experience Overall 3.5/5

    Table side guacamole

    The people, the food, the place was amazing! I give it all the stars! My husband and I go to Mexican restaurants all the time. In town for a few days and decided to try this one. So glad we did! This is the best we have ever had. And the table side, freshly made guacamole was amazing!

    Really enjoyed Isla's this evening. We grabbed a reservation as this spot can get busy and…read morereceived a prompt email confirmation. We started with salads and excellent ceviche and "Down South" oysters as we found the pimento cheese and bacon topping to be a fun twist on oysters Rockefeller. We had the 16 and 13 year old in tow and while our kids have open minds and pallets when it comes to food, there were some slight questions about the menu options. There was a kids menu that was standard and I'm sure would accommodate most kids; but, I would say Isla's menu is sophisticated and can be appreciated by a more mature audience. Our 13 year old ordered the shrimp and grits and won the best entree of the night. It's a nice twist using a grit cake as opposed to traditional shrimp and grits but the flavor of the tomato and chorizo gravy along with the texture of the crispy grit cake was an interesting and nice change from the norm. I will definitely go back and try additional entrees. Overall, all the dishes were well put together, well seasoned and paired with a nice wine list that had variety for all tastes. Last, I will say the service was among the best we've had locally. Brandon was attentive, informative and accommodating throughout our evening experience. Thank you to Isla's for a wonderful first experience. I look forward to returning soon!

    Brynn was the host and she was AMAZING!!! So sweet and attentive. She made sure we had everything…read morewe needed. if you come to Islas, say hi to Brynn! She's awesome!!!!!
