La Isla Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Fort Gibson

Typical Mexican Menu, Good and Fast service. We had a Taco Salad with ground beef and the Jack Special Burrito with a side of beans. The taco salad was delicious! The fresh crisp fried flour tortilla shell and the fresh guacamole really stood out. The Jack Special was very simple. A flour tortilla stuffed with grilled chicken breast (chopped) covered with queso, a little ground beef on the outside then a little red sauce over the beef. The menu described the burrito as “topped with chili cheese sauce.” That’s why I tried it. It too was great. Simple but great. The service is fast. The guys working the floor were efficient. The was a party of 15 at one end of the restaurant and about ten other patrons scattered throughout the restaurant. The big party was already seated when we walked in. The waiter got our order quickly ahead of the big group and we had our food in minutes. The big group had their food within 15 minutes of ordering. The waiter delivered the plates lined up and balanced on his arm seven at a time! No tray. So, the food is fresh, hot, and the kitchen and wait staff hustles.

Usually La Isla is my go to Mexican restaurant that I love to eat at. But an unfortunate event happened during my visit yesterday (April 22) at lunch. Now remember I have never had bad service or bad food at this restaurant before until yesterday. I asked for appetizer plates and this seemed to confuse/upset the teenage staff so much that they didn't make my taco salad correctly. My other two parties that I was with their food was beautiful, but however my taco salad was very soggy, they clearly didn't drain the fat or they put water into my taco salad. The staff seemed to be unsupervised. Plus the staff was very rude in front of customers by speaking Spanish and this is considered rude since the serving staff is bilingual. If my family members was with me they would have told these teenagers, in Spanish, how rude it is to do this and that they was raised with manners and to quit doing that. Please quit leaving teenagers unattended in your restaurant they don't understand business correctly yet. I will not be back, again I have never had a bad meal here or been disrespected at this restaurant until yesterday.

I haven't written any reviews on them until now. I'm just absolutely tired of their f ups. Almost every time I have ordered from here they have messed it up somehow... I've repeatedly given them chance's because I place big orders. Well, this time I have had it and will not return for awhile if at all. Usually, I order 6 meals and their $10 large cheese and I always have at the least one completely messed up order. This time I only ordered four meals and on 2 supreme nachos that come with beef and chicken, I got 2 pieces chicken and maybe 2 teaspoon fulls of beef. The other had just chicken and beans. Theirs always a butt load of beans and generally they do have more chicken and beef. They are $12 each now and they weren't worth $5... I spend $75-100 when I order from there. It does no good to complain to them, they don't seem to care. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on one meal, I expect it to be right. I'm just saying check your order before you leave the...
