La Isla has closed for good on East 14th Street


Since our post last Wednesday on the possible closure of La Isla on East 14th Street near Avenue B... several readers, including DJ Xerox of copycat, have confirmed that they closed due to a big rent hike...

The La Isla Cafe on Delancey near Pitt remains open...

Has La Isla closed on East 14th Street? (And we hope not...)


Several readers noted that workers looked to be clearing out the restaurant near Avenue B yesterday... we stopped by later, but no one was around... and the gates were closed...


We also called, though there wasn't any answer or outgoing message... Perhaps they're doing some summertime renovations...

Anyway, it is (or was) always an inexpensive option for large servings of, among other items, rice and beans ... mashed plantains... papas rellenas. I don't recall any meals on the menu being more than $7 or $8 (excluding the combo meals!)...

CB3 OK'd a beer-wine license for them back in September 2010.
