My wife really likes their Mexican food. It is a nice break from the chain type Mexican places around town.

Nice spot to hang out for an afternoon, snack on some great tapitas, street corn, mini chimis, cheese crisp. I've had the 3 taco special, the carnitas plate and El Presidente, which is a chile relleno, cheese enchilada and carne asada. The chile relleno was fantastic, so were the other two items, but just calling the relleno out! Get the boracho beans too!! But this place also makes some nice margaritas! Can't decide whether the Prickly Pear or the Blackberry Sage is my favorite...guess it back to more taste testing! read more

I called ahead to check on outdoor availability. (Call was at 1:40pm.) Was told that yes, there were tables available and to come on over. Arrived at 1:45pm and was told there were no available tables and that there were several parties ahead of me. Glancing at the patio there were several tables open. I explained that I had called ahead to double check. Hostess wouldn't check with other staff or help figure out where the miscommunication happened to avoid these issues in the future. Disappointing and frustrating situation that could have easily been avoided. read more

Always high on our preference list for dining; Fantastic margaritas especially the prickly pear, delicious food, chips and salsa taste great plus the staff is welcoming. read more

Got the Asado salad and the torta both with carne asada, both are amazing. Service was takeout and fast with no issues

We come here regularly. Food is consistently good. Seating is decent, prefer in the cooler months so the patio is open.

Just average atmosphere and food. Nothing remarkable except our server was great. The food lacked flavor and quality for the price. It may be worth a try if you haven't been there before. read more

I ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were soooo good!! The tortillas were fresh and made the meal all that much better. Will definitely be back as there was plenty on the menu I kept seeing pass by the looked/smelled delicious. read more

Isabel's is a fairly small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a garage door that can open that makes the indoor seating seem like you are outdoors, which was nice on the night I went because of the perfect outside temperature. There is also seating at the bar. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected based on the pictures I looked at, but small is good. The restaurant was fairly empty the night I went (a weekday and fairly close to closing). Even though the restaurant is small they have it laid out in way then can accommodate larger groups (the only other people in the restaurant that night were two large groups). The restaurant was clean and I was seated quickly. My server took my order quickly and my drink was refilled often (a big plus in my book). The meal started off with chips and salsa (as it should). The chips were good. The salsa was the thin blended salsa that is common in Mexican restaurants. It isn't my favorite, but others might love it. I then tried the cheese crisp appetizer, which wasn't that good. Maybe if I would have got it with chorizo or some other topping that would have helped. For my main dish I got the Carne Asada on the recommendation of the waitress. The Carne Asada was great. It came with two grilled green onions on top which were good, but hard to cut because they had become soft. If they we're cut and then grilled it may work better. The tortilla was house made and good. The beans were good, but the rice was for lack of a better word mushy. Overall, despite the criticisms above it is worth giving Isabel's a visit. read more

In all my years in Gilbert, I never went here until recently. The flight of margaritas and the tortillas were absolutely amazing. Everything else was on point too. read more

I had Isabel's Amor cater my husbands 70th birthday party. They did a fantastic job! I met with them to go over their recommendations for a menu for 35 people. They came up with terrific recommendations. The food was outstanding! We had people from Tucson, Southern California, and Northern California. Everyone commented on how good it was. We ordered enough so that they delivered and set up! Even if you have to pick it up yourself it's well worth it. They're affiliated with Somburros who actually does the delivery. They were right on time. That was important because it was a surprise party. If you ever need catering for an event, you can count on Isabel's Amor! read more

Wow this used to be my #1 favorite Mexican Restaurant, but I know someone has changed the menu, and not for the better. I used to buy their chips and salsa on a regular basis. It used to be that good, now someone has changed the salsa in, and enchilada sauce ingredients, and the taste is for lack of a better word HORRIBLE. The only positive thing is the service is good. The food flavor not so much. Valle Luna, here I come. Sometimes it's best to stick with the original ingredients. Very Disappointing!! read more

I stopped in to get a late lunch and had a good experience here. I ordered the lunch combo plate with a beef enchilada. The flavors are clean and are along the "fresh-mex" line, if that makes sense. The servers are polite and welcoming and well trained- a cut above the average casual experience. The furnishings are clean and modern. The bathrooms have upgraded paper towels in the wicker basket "PF Chang's style." It was 1:30 mid-day and mid-week. I was out the door in a half hour and I eat kind of slow. With a solid tip, lunch was under $14. read more

We had been wanting to try Isabel's Amor for awhile so we were in the area from a doctors office so we decided to go and try it. It is a very small restaurant that is the upscale version of it's mother restaurant Someburros. We were disappointed it was over priced and underwhelming. I love Someburros and found it was better food and taste than Isabel's Amor. It had a few different items but compared to Someburros it wasn't worth the drive or time. read more

Great service, food, and drinks! Also really love the atmosphere of this place. It's my administration team's go-to spot for work meetings or just for fun! read more

I've been here a couple times now and it has been great on each occasion. The location is nice with plenty of other places to stop by before or after your meal. It's also in the heart of a busy and growing area so there is a lot around making this a convenient stop while you're out running errands. After being seated we were given chips and delicious salsa while we checked out the menu. We ordered a starter of the frijoles de amor dip. It was pretty good but we did feel it could have had more flavor. It was about a standard bean dip, good, but next time we may try something else as the chips and salsa sufficed for us. We ordered the Chili Verde and thought it was amazing!! So flavorful and delicious. I ordered the Carne Asada Burro. It was also really great. The plates were jam packed with food including a large portion of the main meal and rice, beans, and a little lettuce. For drinks, we both ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita. It was soooo good! We held the salt on the edges for personal preference but the margarita was delicious. I'm always a fan of more tequila... but it was pretty well off. Overall, the location is really nice. It's perfect for a night out with friends or a date. The service was friendly and nice. Loved the chips and salsa to start with, kept us going until our meal got there. Order a margarita, you won't regret it - get the prickly pear! Expect a large portion of everything and to go home full. Price is a little higher but not unreasonable. read more

This place amazing mules and appetizers. Like amazing. Awesome service and a great atmosphere. The only little thing I would say is I believe the meals are slightly overpriced for the quality of food. Still good food it's just like $18 for 1 meal. I would give this place a 4.5 but I had to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a 5 because I love their creamed corn and bean dip so much. read more

Should have known when we walked in and it didn't smell like food it wouldn't be good. I love the ambiance, the patio. The service was so nice and friendly , everyone was very attentive. But the food... the food was NOTHING. No real stand out flavors but oil. I got a crispy beef taco, filled with oil that oozed out of the shell. Rice tastes like rice-a-roni, and cheese enchiladas were tasteless. The house margarita was sour, it was decent. Sadly disappointed, wanted to have a neighborhood restaurant to go. read more

Food was ok. I expected a lot more based on reviews. Taco was very greasy. Enchilada sauce had an odd consistency and not much flavor. Best item was the cheese crisp and that is pretty basic. read more

This is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. Consistently great service, wonderful food, great environment. Love this place!

Love love this restaurant.. carnitas anyway you order are yummy!!! Refried beans are the Bomb! Try the carnitas cheese crisp it will change your life along with the Isabel Margarita read more

Nothing special Bean dip taste like canned beans with cream cheese on top and cheese. The glasses were dirty and the guacamole was not fresh in fact it was bad had a fermented rotten taste. Requested that it was taken off our bill. read more

My margarita was strong, just how I like them! Happy hour menu is great (margaritas, cheese crisps, tacos, etc) and is a huge seller. Excellent fast service. Good job manager for adequately staffing the place! I think our sweet attentive server was Jacque? She got out our little ones food quickly to feed the hunger and keep the peace. I like the decor and the ambiance of the charming restaurant. Modern family or date feel. Nice cozy bar. Plenty of patio seating (with heaters). Not loud, just right. They have hot sauce on the table... Not really my thing and too hot for my little one to dip. Had to ask for salsa to go with the chips they bring out. Chips were tasty. Salsa was more like pico not so much like typical salsa... Was hoping for a tad amount of liquid tp vo with the chunkiness. Also, if they had the mild sauce/ salsa Someburros uses, I'd be super happy. You'd get 5 stars if the salsa was different. The "house pico" (?) with the avacado is bomb!! Order it!! The bean dip in the skillet with queso mixed in is a family favorite. The entrees I have tried so far: chicken chimmi, beef tacos, enchiladas are all yummy. Going to try a pollo asada salad next... I'm sure it won't disappoint, like the other entrees. Overall diggin' this place! read more

Love this place for a date night or taking the whole family out for some good Mexican! Food is always so good! Order the salsa trio no longer on the menu. It's so good! read more

This is the best restaurant in Gilbert by far. This staff is so well trained, attentive, and professional I couldn't have asked for more. All the bartenders measured out pours, made sure bar tops were wiped and no one needed anything. Food was great although the carnitas on the cheese crisp could've been a tad tastier. Enchilada tortillas were a little sub par too but the overall taste was great. Note to management: invest in a software (like the Yelp one) that texts reservations when they're ready so your hostesses don't have to scream names in bar guests ears lol?? read more

My husband and I came because the reviews were so good. It was very busy so clearly lots of people like it. It was not our cup of tea. We were seated at a tiny table near the restroom where my husband was run into several times by people passing by or hugging goodbye, that's how close together the tables were. The salsa was more like red enchilada sauce. The pork torta was not good. The bread was blah and the meat was barely seasoned. They dont have Coke Zero which seems minor but I hate Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi and don't drink alcohol so just not my place. Too small to bring a large party, crowded entry way, limited seating. Our server was great. read more

So glad we decided to try this place. I had the famous carnitas. These were the juiciest carnitas I think I've ever had - the refried beans and rice were also very good. I really liked the chunky salsa that can with the meal. Next time we want to try the Tres salsa appetizer with the mango habanero, tomatillo and chunky salsa. My husband loved the Carne Asada and their aoanisTheir flour tortillas are so good and the street corn was great! For dessert we settled on the sopapillas - they were not my favorite but I didn't pay attention to the menu and they come with a lot of honey on top - I'm not a big fan of honey so I would opt for something g different next time. We really loved the Prickly Pear Margarita. My husband tried the sage margarita - he said it wasn't bad but he isn't the biggest fan of sage so he would probably skip ordering that in the future. I do not care for sage and I didn't care for it. Overall I would definitely recommend this place! We are looking forward to going back to try the carnitas cheese crisp and the margarita flight! read more

Drinks were good! Food is mediocre at best. Customer service was sub par. Expected more time the food and waitstaff. read more

Great food. The staff is friendly. The ambiance is nice BUT the chairs are uncomfortable. This is a first for me, but I'm the chairs we're really bad. The food might bring me back but I'm not looking forward to seeing the furniture. read more

Good food and wonderful salsa. Definitely try a few items off the happy hour menu! I had a carne asado taco which was very tasty. We also had the mini chimis and my favorite the shrimp cocktail- very good. My son had the asado salad which was fresh and tasty. He asked for the Verde ranch to give it more kick. My daughter-in-law ordered the pick 2 with one chicken and one beef enchilada. A lot of food. Great for lunch tomorrow! She normally orders the torta, which she really enjoys. The restaurant is nice, clean and the staff is friendly and efficient! Definitely go back next time I am in Chandler looking for quality Mexican food that is prepared well and prices well als read more

I love the food. The appetizers are all great! Love the bean dip, shrimp cocktail, carnitas quesadilla can all be your main entree but they have the Best chili relleno in the town! The service isn't super friendly but they are business and get it done. I don't love the hand held card machines when you have to pay the bill with the server standing there waiting. They have live music from time to time which is nice! Overall great. read more

Had a pleasant trip to Isabel's Amor. Unlimited chips and the salsa is nice and hot like I like it. The street corn was a pleasant addition to the chips and salsa. Because the prices are so high here... I went for an appetizer for my meal. I got the Carne Asada Papas Fritas. They were good but knowing the prices I could pay at Some Burros or Los Favs for carne fries makes me want to go elsewhere. The fact that a burro or combo plate is 13-17 dollars was kinda pricey. Service was nice, kept drinks and chips filled. Solid experience but watch the $$$ read more

Fantastic restaurant with a great atmosphere, and even better food! My husband and I love to come here for their tasty margaritas and Mexican food. I would say their food is amazing while still being borderline healthy (meaning, not your typical extra cheesy/greasy food). We love their bowls and pozole. In addition to great food, their waitstaff and bartenders are incredibly friendly, and a joy to chat with. We will continue to come here on random date nights. Lowkey, chill and good! read more

In my experience, fajitas at a restaurant is a head turning experience of a sizzling plate, and delicious food. This was not that. The presentation, and "steak" fajitas, was very bland. The plate included one (!) tortilla, and even though I asked for more, never received them. On top of all that, $18 for fajitas is crazy. Los Favoritos quality is equally good, for half the price. read more

Went last night (Saturday) sat on the patio; beautiful night, crowded patio, good service (Andy). Ordered fajitas, was disappointed they came out warm and not on the traditional sizzling platter. Only one tortilla, another one would have cost extra ! The food was good but still not quite what I was used to. Also two margaritas in smaller tumbler style glasses not the traditional glass we're all use to. The drinks were good but on the small side. Would I go again? Not sure but still had a pleasant time. read more

Love their red enchilada sauce and house Margs. Location is in the back of a strip mall, not east to see from Williams Field Rd. ..

I have to start off by saying this should be categorized as a hidden gem. A nice quaint Mexican restaurant tucked away in a corner waiting to be discovered by YOU. I have driven past this place many times and never really thought about visiting but decided to give it a try. And wow was I glad I did. It is not a giant place and I'm glad it isn't. It has a nice patio and a super friendly staff. But even better food. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The tortillas are hand made in house and have a flavor that I have never tried anywhere else before which makes this place truly unique and special. The borracho beans are to die for. Unbelievable taste and something I will have every time I go back. The salad was extremely delicious and had flavor. One comment is that there is some liquid that builds up at the bottom. Perhaps the juice from the meat but still nothing that bothered me because the flavor was on point. The burrito was giant and very flavorful. Defiantly enough for a large meal and even to take some home with you. I would certainly go back again and try more off of their menu. According to our waitress the carnitas are amazing!! read more

I was extremely happy with this visit today. I sat at the bar and Eric was tending bar today. The patio was full. The dining room was about half way. The most delicious carnitas today were amazing. They are amazing and famous. Ths service was excellent and the home made tortilla as well. It was a great dining experience today and for sure will be back again. read more
