"La Isla in Mott Haven, like Bakery 188 in Fordham Heights, ranks among the city’s top cuchifrito parlors, a dwindling class of affordable lunch counters purveying top notch pork products. Everything here is grand, including the morcilla, but pernil might be the king of this location. The swine is slow roasted until its exterior caramelizes and glistens like rare gemstones." - Korsha Wilson, Brianne Garrett, Ryan Sutton
