It’s for real, amigos: A new Mexican place has opened in the heart of Keeaumoku, throwing fiery salsa and burritos into the mix of kalbi and plate lunches this hood is known for. It’s only been two months since La Isla Burrito opened in the former Iga Bento space at Samsung Plaza, and nearby workers and Heald College students have already become regulars. It looks like Keeaumoku was ready for some tortillas.
So here’s the scoop on La Isla:
Where: Right across from Walmart
Hours: Late — til 10 most nights, 2 a.m. on weekends
Parking: Validated if you park in the Samsung lot, or else street parking
Food: Somewhat authentic, somewhat Tex-Mex
Value: This is it, this is the bottom line — good portions, awesome value
