Located in the center of the hustling and bustling section of the Sunset Strip lies Isla Cantina; more than just “an Island in the stream”. Isla is located a stones throw to the famed Viper Room, The Roxy & Whisky a Go Go and is adjacent to the “Red Rock” bar on the corner of Sunset and Holloway Drive in West Hollywood.

We came to Isla for more than just the food, last Monday and were glad that we were able to sample a taste of what this Hollywood gem has to offer both Angelinos and visitors alike.

Unlike most restaurants in Los Angeles, Isla has an intimate lounge vibe with an extensive menu that goes way beyond the typical bar food fare that most ultra-lounges provide to patrons looking for an experience.



The purpose for our visit was to show support for Karaoke Monday’s and belt out a few tunes in the process. Everyone seems to love Karaoke and we too appreciate a good session every so often.



From our arrival we were greeted with smiles and open arms as well as a personal greeting from Igor Nicolas, the restaurants owner. He wants his guests to feel comfortable and have good time in the process. His passion for his establishment radiates and this is what makes Isla unique as well as a place to experience Latin flavors and positive energy.

In addition to being guests of Isla, our friends Rich J. and Eliza James shared the dining experience with us. Rich is the MC for Mic Legends Entertainment and Eliza was his musical guest and co-host for the evening. Both Rich and Eliza are foodies themselves so it was only proper that they were a part of the sensory experience. Later in the evening the debuted their new signature cocktail, the Summer Camp; where you get to roast your own Marshmellows! This one you have to see for yourselves.





Our family style approach to our tasting had us cover the highlights of Isla’s extensive menu and the food far surpassed our expectations(from our first dip of endless chips and salsa to our last bite of mac and cheese).



Some menu items that made the cut and therefore are worthy of an honorable mention are as follows:

In the appetizer category you must try the Jalapeño poppers and guacamole. Both starters have the right amount of spice and refreshing Latin flavors. Pair with an order of red wine sangria and you have one colorful way to get things started in the right direction.



We continued with an order of Filet mignon tacos and Chile rellenos with beef . Both choices were two tasty entrees that made our meal come to life. For an added punch we ordered side dishes of Rice and beans and Jalapeño Mac an cheese. Everything worked well together and brought our palates to the next level and got us all pumped to sing our hearts out on the Karaoke stage.



Believe it or not Isla draws quite the crowd on Monday’s for both dinner and Karaoke so come in early or make a reservation for your next dining adventure. Come for the food and stay for the entertainment. You should also note that Isla makes a great jump off point for your evening out on the Sunset Strip. With entertainment throughout the week you will be glad you made Isla Restaurant and Bar your dining destination. I know I am!

It was a war of the pastries and drink:eat:play challenged Los Angeles’ top bakeries and cupcake boutiques to a battle to determine who would win the best cupcake in LA. The staging area was the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel and the scene was straight out of Willy-Wonka with the exception of a wandering Nesquik mascot that took the place of “Umpa-lumpas” although meager in comparison.



Hundreds of cupcake admirers and fanatics made it out to the event on a quest to taste the trophy cupcakes that were in the running for the crown. Bakeries entered into the “Best Traditional” category as well as “Best Original.” Both categories were flooded with entries and all had quality entries. We treated our “Cupcake Challenge” official ballot like it was government issued and we diligently went from table to table examining each bite sized specimen like lost artifacts from the Pharaoh’s Egypt.





Throughout the day, we had many favorites but only a few made the final cut in our book. These cupcakes had all made an impression on our senses Our favorites were all a toss up and narrowing it down was not an easy endeavor. The choices are below and later we will see how everyone voted.

Best Traditional

Big Man Bakes-Carrot Cake Cupcake



Two Parts Sugar-Vanilla Throwback



Best Original

Hollywood Renaisance-Maple Bacon Cupcake



Friandise-Sticky Chocolate pudding



Fairy Cakes-Pumpkin White Chocolate



My Delight Cupcakery-Key Lime



Two Parts Sugar-Chocolate covered strawberry



Best Overall
Hollywood Renaisance-Maple Bacon Cupcake



After all of the sugar that we ingested I was sure that I would have to have my stomach pumped, but lucky for me and the rest of the VivaLAfoodies crew we didn’t have to exercise that option, instead we opted for push-ups and treadmills along with a few beers. The official winners are listed below for each category.

Best Traditional
1st Place: Big Man Bakes “Red Velvet”
2nd Place: Blue Cupcake “Sweet and Salty Vanilla”
3rd Place: Southern Girl Desserts “Red Velvet”

Best Original
1st Place: My Delight Cupcakery “Breakfast Cake”
2nd Place: Jus Minis “Caramel Banana”
3rd Place: Two Parts Sugar “Chocolate Covered Strawberry”

Best Overall
1st Place: Jus Minis “Caramel Banana”
2nd Place: My Delight Cupcake-ry “Breakfast Cake”
3rd Place: Two Parts Sugar “Chocolate Covered Strawberry”

The event was like nothing I had ever seen before and far exceeded our expectations, but then again, all Drink:Eat:Play events keep getting better and better. These events are not for the weak heart-ed so understand “D-E-P” means business, “Go Big or Don’t go at all” So as I wrap it up, lets all put our hands up in the air and give a round of applause to Dan Silberstein for making all of these great events possible and accessible to Angelinos.

Strangest question asked:

According to TK some strange things have been requested since operation. Some have asked for Sake, which is understandable considering it is sushi, but come on guys, very illegal, costly and virtually impossible for a street food vendor to sell alcohol, but good try. An even stranger request has been for tacos and burritos. I guess people just assume that all food trucks in LA sell tacos, but open your eyes as the truck clearly states “FISHLIPS Sushi” on the side; no implications of tacos or burritos. TK is patient and he respects all of his customers and will grant a request if it is in reason and falls into his sushi catering truck.

Special Thanks:

Thanks to TK for showing us the inside of the truck. Zach Schueller from Zach Schueller Photography was on hand at the LA Street Food Festival and shot some great pics. Special thanks to Shawna Dawson(SauceLA) & Sonja Rasula(UNIQUE LA) for putting on this amazing gathering of mobile vendors. I will definitely stop for sushi the next time I see the Fishlips truck.

Last Saturday’s “LA Street Food Festival” was the hot ticket in Los Angeles for die hard foodies and food truck followers. Street food is here for the long haul and this event proved that fact. Crowds turned out in droves for the event and as in the theory of Darwinism, “Survival of the fittest” was the name of the game.



As I write this, I am taking my hat off to the festival directors, Shawna Dawson(SauceLA) & Sonja Rasula(UNIQUE LA) for creating this event and promoting it to the masses through their social media efforts. VivaLAfoodies was fortunate to get in and get the scoop while experiencing the sheer foodie madness that comes with being a Mobile Food junky here in Los Angeles.



We had several great on and off truck interviews with vendors and highlights included meeting with Maxon Smith from TastyMeat(owner/chef), TK(owner) with Fishlips Sushi and Michelle Grant, “The Cheese Executive Officer” from The Grilled Cheese Truck. All provided insight into their operations, routes and more importantly provided us with samples of what they do best. All trucks are at different phases of operation, but they all have one thing in common and that is, a passion for their businesses as well as being a part of the mobile food vendor community in Los Angeles and bringing a quality product to Angelinos looking for tasty bites around town at their favorite venues. Stay tuned for “Food Truck Profiles” on the above trucks in my “Street Food LA” section real soon.













During our whirlwind endeavor, we saw our friends from “The Fry Girl“(Shelley Beals and Donnell Brown) in VIP and the sight of the donut cart brought back memories from our photo-shoot a few weeks ago. While we were in VIP we had a great chat with Alex Chu from the “Dim Sum Truck” and had a taste of what him and his team will be bringing to LA real soon.





It was also great to have some moments to chill out with some of our Foodie Friends and members of the VivaLAfoodies Crew. Without you guys we would just be a website without a pulse.









I couldn’t have captured the days events without my partner in crime, Zach Schueller from Zach Schueller Photography. His lens just about provides smell-i-vision and the images from the day capture the essence of this food movement and how some people will endure any line for a tasty bite. Keep in mind, these are not the “Roach Coaches” of yester-year. In fact, they are mobile diners for today’s modern on the go food fanatic.
