    The food was marginal. Most people (10 of us) didn’t like their food. The mahi mahi fish tacos were breaded and fried and looked like mozzarella sticks. I couldn’t finish my plate. The food should be much better.

    Had heard about isalitas for quite a while as it is the sister restaurant to manis. Highly recommend. Liked it even more than manis - completely different and so so good.

    Very attentive wait staff. They paid attention to gluten and nut allergies we had in our group. Checked on us frequently. Food was great.
