    My friend informed me that a lot of new shops were opening in the Willows and this was one of them. I have had food from this chain before over at YV, so I had an idea of what to expect. I ordered online, so my meal was about ready when I arrived at the supposed time. Parking is plentiful and the place looks clean and nice. Service was good since the cashier gave me my soda while they were finishing my food. Chips and Salsa: This was pretty good. Curious the seasoning they put on the chips and the salsa was nice. My only complaint the chips to salsa ratio. Would like a bit more of the salsa. Fish and Chips: A classic order for me. Two pieces of fried fish and fries as well as a cup of kaleslaw. Overall, it was just ok. The fish could have been fried a bit more to my liking. It was not crispy nor flaky as I would expect fried fish to be. Also, it felt like it didn't have much seasoning at all. And the fries were a bit of a letdown for me. They felt undercooked, since it was not crispy and the potato part of the fries felt a bit "hard" (which is akin to being undercooked). The seasoning was good though. I know this place is new and still getting their foot properly set. I'll be sure to check back in a couple of months and see if there is any improvement.

    We came for their soft opening- day 2. We have been fans of CFG for years in S Ca- then were happy when they opened the one on Ygnacio in WC. Not a fan of the ordering- guests now order their own food from a touch screen while employees stand around waiting. Many of our favorites were not available for the soft opening- we understand that- making it smoother for the employees. Hubby and I each ended up ordering their own seabass with different sides- I had the tomato feta and fries, hubby had the beans and fries It actually wasn't what either of us wanted- but were encouraged by the employee Hubby would have ordered their own food fish chips combo and I would have had the dynamite shrimp bowl. We also love their street corn and Brussels sprouts- but not available today. We also normally get a side Caesar or house salad to share. What really was the turn off today was the skin was still on the fish- also it was really thin, tiny pieces. The other CFG we have been to had a lovely salsa bar- this one does not. If you know to ask, they will bring out lemon wedges and sauces. The restaurant and restroom appeared clean. Plenty of parking. This CFS seems smaller than ones we have been to in the past- had a nice outdoor seating area. We do wish them well- just not thinking we will be back. They have an app rewards program They also have a generous fundraising offer

    It was just ok. The food was tasty, but I had to wait an extra 15 min past my pick up time. They forgot my drinks. Forgot to put sauce on the side of one of the dishes as requested. And my fish taco was a bit meh. Maybe they are just getting used to things, but some quality control is needed. I'll probably give it another chance.

    Disgusting

    I would definitely not recommend this location I found plastic in my food so disgusting

    I've been to Tacos El Patron so many times--it's become my go-to whenever I'm heading to Costco…read moresince it's right on the way! Their fish tacos are incredible and the portions are huge. Honestly, one taco can be filling on its own. I've also tried the shrimp tacos and enchiladas, and both are really good. My husband usually gets a burrito, and that's always amazing too. Definitely recommend checking this place out! Try to come early, especially on weekends, because it gets really packed. It's not a big of a place so gets busy, ambiance is very casual.

That portion size. The amount of meat. Looking at the picture always makes me crave tacos again and again and again. The meat, whether it was the pork belly or the carnitas, was so flavorful. Every bite was juicy and addicting - just kept wanting more bites after another. They had a sauce that my friend and I kept adding and it was very delicious. A little kick or a lot of spice really elevates the food even more. The super birria quesadilla definitely fulfills the price you pay for it and more. Gigantic , overfilled quesadilla that had so much seasoning and just made with lots of love. Overall, we had an amazing dining experience here. Parking may be limited when it is prime dining hours. Food came in fast. Service was also great.

    Feb 2 2025 3.5 stars…read more Lately our go to Mexican eats is Cinco De Mayo in Martinez. Christians-smh. It is Sunday and Cinco is closed. The server and service here at Isla was perfect. I pointed out to he waiter that he had a crumb on his chin and he wiped and chuckled like a nice champ. The music is pleasant but a bit louder than needed so I brought out the earplugs. The entire indoor setup is nice. Our food is arriving after what seems like a long wait meaning either the food is being served fresh, hot and tasty, or we are in for a mediocre experience. Our two plates arrived. Chilli relleno and Grilled chicken enchilada. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the smallish squair white plates. Reminds me of trying to look upscale. We own plates like these and that didn't work. Wife's enchilada plate was covered with three hot and very tasty chicken filled food bombs plus sides. The chili plate looked a little weak (too much plate showing) but that was the tastiest chilli relleno ever in 40 years of me enjoying these. Served hot with cheese filled up to the ying yang, an extra spiciness I have never had before that I loved and me wishing I had a spoon to scrape up the end of the sauce. Unfortunately the smallish rice and bean servings on both plates were luke warm and tasted so so. . I had similar hotter to those with tv dinners back in the day. The two plates and a coke at $43 has me scratching my chin on whether we will make that drive again. That is unless it is Sunday. Then possibly. .

The…read morefirst time I tried it at Isla, however, I was completely let down--the meat was bland and the burrito felt stale. After giving it some thought, I decided to return and explore what it was about Isla that everyone raved over. This time around, I ordered the fish tacos, and I was hooked! Isla's fish tacos are phenomenal--easily the best in the area and a must-have every single time. I usually go for the tilapia, though I've sampled the red snapper as well. They come out super crispy on the outside yet remain incredibly moist inside, with the salsa and toppings melding together perfectly. I also visited their new location today and was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and comfortable seating. The space is beautiful, making it even more enjoyable to stop by for those irresistible fish tacos. Here's a quick rundown of my ratings: Fish (all varieties): 8.7/10 Birria: 7/10 (good, but not their standout item) Carne Asada Super Burrito: 5.8/10 When it comes to satisfying my fish taco cravings, Isla remains the only choice.

My wife and I took a lil minute to figure out what we wanted prior to ordering and the cashier showed patience. We settled on burritos. I knocked two stars off because they messed up both of orders and that made me a little upset. They remade my burrito completely over, but they did not for my wife. They just gave her what they forgot on the side. She was not happy about it. She ate it anyway. We both agreed that the burritos were cold.. the meat, rice and beans. However, we were not going to complain again. I decided that I would add it to my review. I enjoyed the salsa and chips bar. All the fixings that you needed were found there and you could take a much as you wanted. Overall, we won't be returning back here. It was not that enjoyable.

The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not overcooked or soggy at all, which made the whole burrito taste fresh and flavorful. We also got the appetizer with the chips, zucchini, arugula, and cheese and that ended up being one of my favorite dishes. Everything paired together really well and had a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy. I also tried the mango margarita with tajín on the rim and really liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Super refreshing and balanced. The Dude ordered the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce and really enjoyed those as well. Customer service was also really good. They checked on us periodically throughout the meal and everyone was friendly and attentive without hovering. Overall the restaurant felt clean, relaxed, and comfortable. Definitely a spot we would come back to again. Especially a lot of vegetarian options ! Vegetarian approved!!!

I noticed how enthused and attentive they were to other patrons in comparison to how they were with me and my daughter. I'll leave it at that. I purchased a chicken burrito, a steak burrito (burritos came with potato chips), a mango margarita, and a cheesecake. Pros- the food is fresh and made with quality ingredients. The mango margarita.... Best thing I ordered! Cons- Burritos lacked flavor and was pretty unremarkable. The cheesecake. Idk if it was spoiled or a different type of cheesecake but it didn't taste good at all. My daughter ate it bc she's greedy lol and said that it tastes "interesting". I do feel like the food we ordered is not prepared the way I'm familiar with, so I'll own that. BUT flavor is flavor and this place did not do it for me at all.
