I…read morecan't speak for their food trucks, but the restaurant is outstsnfing! *The dining area is quite clean and nice, without a lot of bling or plants. They have some really cool pictures on the walls for sure. It has a clean self-serve soda area, The restrooms were spotless, too. *The staff behind the counter is very friendly and takes the time to answer any questions about the food. My favorite is (I can't recall the Spanish name- sorry! ‍) is the pineapple-flavored pork on a fried chimichanga with rice and beans - plus the Mexican corn is delicious!! * The prices are reasonable. The food is rather a fusion of old and new Mexican cuisine with other Latino street food thrown in; it is totally different than the "cookie cutter"/same-old food from the same local suppliers. * Parking is plentiful too. Food Lion is in the same shopping area, along with other small shops. They offer catering too! This is one of our favorites! --Doc Lykins, Retired Paramedic.

I decided to talk a walk to get out of the building and gather my thoughts and I saw this place…read morethat looked inviting! The ambiance was cozy and quaint! Once inside and I was greeted with a huge smile and welcome. Instantly I knew I wanted whatever they were serving. I ordered the Carnitas Bowl with pinto beans and all the fixings. When I put the fork in my mouth it was instant gratification. The carnitas were cooked to perfection, it was tender and seasoned just right. The flavors exploded in my mouth and something about the flavors were comforting and the heat from the habanero balanced it out. This is by far the best Mexican dish I've ever had in Richmond and surrounding areas! The prices are great, nice portions, and excellent customer service. This is definitely a hidden gem that I'm excited to share with everyone! This is a must for anyone who's looking for authentic Mexican food. I love it here!

It's a great authentic spot which I was at first worried about bc I'm not a fan of Americanized Mexican food. The only thing I would improve is their salsa that comes with the free chips. The hint of sweetness threw me off, but everything else was great. Left full and satisfied!

I've been going to Taqueria Isabel for several years now. This the kind of place you REALLY want to…read morefind, as you might not even realize that it's here! The food here is up there with the best Mexican street food I've ever had -- maybe #2 for me! I usually get 3 tacos with different meats. You can have up to 2 different kinds of meat with a 3-taco order. I've had the carnitas, the carne azada, the chicken, the pastor, and the camarón. Everything is great, exactly as you'd want from street tacos. I've also had the quesadilla which is cheesy and crispy brown on the outside. Depending on who is there, you might need a little bit of Spanish, but they have always been patient with me, and I with them. Sometimes it's all English. Needing to speak a mix is a small price to pay for such delicious food, so don't worry about it! Thank you so much for such great food over the years! (As an aside, I'm not AI just because I used an em dash! Of course, that's what an AI would say, so I guess you'll just have to decide for yourself. )

I have been coming here for years and this is one of the best places to get street tacos! I…read moreremembered when this place had a smaller plain white truck and just this year they slowly expanded for a bigger bright orange food truck with more food choices! They used to have $1 tacos night on Wednesday but unfortunately, they decided to stop doing that promotion. I usually just get their street tacos and it always tasty and fresh. I always recommend this place for anyone wanting authentic tacos at an affordable price! Everyone is always so friendly here!

I ordered a birria taco served with cilantro, white onions, and consommé, and it did not disappoint. The flavor of the meat was outstanding, and the portion was so generous I easily made two tacos out of it. The consommé paired nicely with the taco, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. While it was already delicious, adding cheese and sour cream would make it absolutely next level. Overall, the quality, flavor, and portion size really stood out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

It was served as one big thin slab of meat rather than sliced. That made it a little harder to eat, but the flavor was good. The rice and beans were also good. I did like the three salsas on the table. I only got one glass of water with no refills so that wasn't the best. But overall, the flavor was good. The value was good and I would try it again.

Tastey. They gave us some sauces to use - i personally didn't like them but my partner did enjoy their hot sauce. The queso was watered down & not that good for costing $6.50. The burrito was good but could use some better sauce options. Got a 3/5 just bc the food could taste better. Wouldn't go back.

With the a slightly-marinated, thin chicken breast in a very tasty cheesy sauce. To add to the flavor are onions, peppers, shrimp, chorizo ingredients. When I include the sliced avocados on top, lettuce and pico de gallo, the whole dish is very flavorful and enjoyable. Yay! I then indulged in some gelato, which is home-made. The blueberry vinegar flavor was an excellent combination of sweet, tart and tangy tastes. Very good!

You pay for your food at the same place where you order your drinks and they give you a buzzer that lights up when your food is ready. The food came out pretty quickly, even on a busy Saturday afternoon. I decided on the carne asada tacos, which came with cilantro and onions, and was accompanied by two sauces. The red one was a bit too spicy for my liking, but the green one was pretty good and accompanied the taco flavors well. The cubes of meat were a little dry and the tacos got cold quickly. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal and it paired well with my beer. Overall, this is a great place to come with friends. There were several families there with children as well.

The shrimp tacos were listed for $10.95 and they said that was a mistake and charged me $14.95, saying the menu hadn't yet been updated. Well damn. I wanted to get food for my mom to take to go, and what I wanted, they said they didn't have it anymore. Again, the menu wasn't updated. I ended up getting steak, which came with rice and beans with a small salad with avocado. The chicken version was $11.95. The steak version was $15.95. The pupusas were great. Excellent even. The tacos were just okay. They made them like fajitas with peppers and onions. My mom crushed the steak, and I have to say it was a very generous portion. All in all, it was okay. The ladies cooking behind the counter seem like they're the ones in control and could be your aunties. Basic decor. Nothing to write home about. But it looks like they have a decent business. I'd go again for the pupusas if nothing else.
