The vibe of Isla del Mar is fantastic. It feels like a south of the border fiesta every time. The menu provides lots of choices, and the service is attentive. We had drinks with dinner in the past, which added to the fun, but today was lunch, so no drinks. All in all a good visit, and at first, the mariachi band added to the vibe in a good way. It got to be a little much as they seemed to be REALLY loud and right on top of our table for our whole visit, making it hard to converse and hard to enjoy the music too.
This is a favorite of ours and always come when in Omaha. The service is fast, they have to have a big kitchen. Quality of food is very consistent each time. It is primarily frequented by the Latino population, but every staff member I've spoke with is fluent in English. The only complaint is that it's always loud here. The background music is louder than many restaurants and the mariachi bands play over the top of the music. Add in the patrons trying to talk over it all and your shouting at each other. Even with this, it's worth the visit.
