Isla Vida (CLOSED)

Opened by the team behind Farmerbrown and Little Skillet, Isla Vida brings breezy Caribbean vibes to the Fillmore District. The new counter-service restaurant draws inspiration from Miami, Cuba, Jamaica and across the Caribbean with dishes like tostones (green plantains), garlic shrimp, guava spareribs and wood-fired meats. The fast-casual, Black-owned business is festive with lush greenery and pink staff shirts. Stick to the heartwarming plates of jerk chicken, snapper or jackfruit.
