    The restaurant itself is very beautiful and the service here was great. We had a large party of about eight people and they let us make reservation. We were seated promptly. The strawberry margarita was quite delicious However, sadly the salsa was rather lacking and the Pollo especial was rather flavorless, even though it still was spicy it did not taste like much. Not my favorite meal - also was a little bit pricey. Happy hour ends at five so you have to get here early if you want to get a good deal on anything

    Service was slow but the waitress was super friendly and attentive with refilling water. The food was delicious and it came out very quickly. I had the steak fajitas and it had flavor with the veggies. It was quiet for a Sunday night. I love the interior decor like the lights hanging on each table set and the antique paintings on the wall next to the bar where we were seated. Got this restaurant off my bucket list of places to try.

    Mild & hot salsas not a fan

    Hubby & I had dinner here last night. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us right away. We opted for inside. Our server was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly & on top of it. I really wanted to love this restaurant. Hubby ordered a beer & I ordered a red sangria. His beer was good & cold. My sangria had a good taste, but was a little weak. You get chips, mild salsa & spicy salsa. I did not like the mild salsa. It tasted like tomato sauce and chili powder. Hubby said the spicy salsa had a back heat that was pretty spicy. Hubby ordered the chicken fajitas with black beans. That's normally what I get, but I had read they were bland. I warned him, but I tried them anyway. He confirmed they were bland, but not bad when paired with the rice, beans, etc. You only get 1 tortilla, but you can get 2 at no additional cost if you ask. I had the chicken burrito chimichanga style. It comes with chicken, refried beans & guacamole. I added sour cream. It comes with rice & your choice of beans. It was good, but lacked flavor. We both liked the rice. It had a good flavor. Both beans were good as well. There's no reason to return especially for the price & lack of flavor.

    Carna asada Torta

    Found Isabel's Amor on the seed oil scout app with a rating indicating that they use only lard, not seed oils. Decided to give it a try, loved it, went back several times, and have loved everything so far! My favorite is a Carne Asada plate with refried beans. The salsa that comes out with the chips is like red chili if you're into that! The service is always extremely well mannered and helpful, prices are reasonable, and quality of food is consistent.

    Pescado del marcado $18

    I have visited Isabel's Amor twice, and both experiences were good. My initial visit was on Cinco de Mayo, where my husband and I went with a few friends. The restaurant featured special offers and performances that day. My second visit was months later when we had family in town who requested Mexican food. The space is warm and welcoming, with seating options both indoors and outdoors. They were very busy on Cinco de Mayo so service was understandably off that night. Service was much better on my second visit. Between the two trips, I had the chance to sample several items, including a spicy margarita, street corn, shrimp ceviche, and the pescado del mercado. The drinks were great, and the food was delicious. I ordered the pescado del mercado on both occasions. During my first visit, the fish was somewhat bland, but it had more flavor the second time around. The entree portions are pretty big; most of our entrees came with rice, beans, and a salad. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert on both visits, but I will definitely save room for it next time!

    Famous Carnitas

    I really want to love this place but I'm just not feeling it. I'm a fan of Someburros (owned by the same family) and I understand creating a nicer, full service restaurant, however I feel like I'm lost on this one. My daughter and her husband love this place, so I'm sure I'll be back there again in the future but I've been there 3 times in the last couple of years and the hype of it is lost on me. The restaurant itself is quite loud and echoey and the metal chairs make an awful noise when they're slid on the floors or when a server/hostess tries to slide two tables together for a larger party. The food is just okay for the price. I tried their Famous Carnitas and was underwhelmed. I make it myself, at home, so I was really hoping theirs would be nicer level. The beans are good, the rice was okay, the tortillas were delicious. Next time I'll try yet another dish and see if that one hits the spot. Added note, the staff were all very nice and the service was good!

    Pollo Especial
    Zippy M.

    My friend and I visited Isabel's on a Wednesday afternoon and let me tell you I'd did not disappoint. The margarita was strong and the chips crisp. The salsa with the chips was great. So many times it just taste like tomato sauce. But this was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. On the waiter's recommendation I got the Pollo Especial and it was amazing! Think fajitas in a creamy jalepeno sour cream sauce with hatch chile and onions. Served with a fresh tortilla (ask for an extra tortilla) and rice and beans. I ended up having to bring half of it home. It was such a generous portion. My friend got a wet chimichanga and said it was one of the best she has had in a long time. Highly recommend! If you can make it for happy hour get the carnitas cheese crisp. We saw it on so many tables as we left and it looked amazing. Sad that we did not indulge! They have a huge patio that would be lovely on a warm day.

    Famous Carnitas
    Nikki A.

    This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food, the drinks, and the service are all top-notch. We have been here countless times; on one or two occasions there were minor issues, all addressed immediately. I am fairly certain that we have tried every single item on the menu. My favorite is the Pozole (I have had both the red and green, both are delicious) and my husband is a big fan of the Carnitas. I definitely always steal a few bites of that dish! I can also recommend the house margarita. The prices here are very reasonable for the quality of food. It is not great for a date night, as it is usually packed and crazy loud. They do accept reservations if you call, Sunday-Thursday only.

    Do they take reservations?

    Do they have a back room or similar for big parties (ten to fifteen guests) that want a little more space? If so, is there a minimum order for that room/area?

    They have a fairly large patio area that’s very nice. I’m pretty sure they can fit your party inside also. We love this place!

Parking was a breeze, and since there were three of us (including one never-full teenager ), we went for the Mexi-Q Platter and added an extra birria taco so everyone could try one. It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe.

It had huge corn nuts which was a nice surprise. All in all their menu could be a tad larger (I was hoping for burrito bowls or a fish burrito) but their food is pretty tasty. Our server was very nice and checked in on us just the right amount of times, offering more chips and salsa as soon as we needed it. Parking is easy and there is a lot of outdoor seating, which we needed since we had our dog with us. We'll definitely be back!
