I absolutely love this place. It’s a place away from home and the staff always makes you feel at home! The food is delicious with the Puerto Rican authentic sazón. Great for a quick lunch or dinner. There is ready to eat food- buffet style or you can order a la carte. Some of my favs pork chops (chuletas), roasted pork shoulder (pernil), and grilled chicken breast with onion and peppers (pollo asado en salsa).

If you’re craving Authentic Puerto Rican food, look no further than Bella Isla Express. They have the BEST pernil around. My go to is always pernil y arroz con gandules. The frituras, ensalada de papas, guisado never disappoint. Plus the tostones have the perfect amount of ajo …. Only thing missing is la playa. If you don’t feel like cooking definitely order catering and enjoy a home cooked meal they offer a great value. Thank you Rosa for being so helpful and patient with our large catering order.
