La Isla — Restaurant in New York

Spanish soul food lovers, if you're looking for morcilla, this is the best in bklyn; perfectly seasoned, reasonably priced. They also have an excellent tripe soup, chicken soup, rice & peas, roast chicken, roast pork, and more. I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood. Update: Aug.2025 I am so glad to see that they are now open after the fire. It's been over 2yrs & their interior looks amazing! The ambience has upgraded tremendously.
