First bite of food on my first time in Isabella ... And after the ordeal it took me to get here, there's a lot that was going into each bite.
I must say that the meal was a a prelude to one of the best trips of 2022 (and now 23). But I may be biased because I love Villa Pesquera.
Our server was patient and didn't mind teaching correct phrases as I badly ordered for the table in Spanish "rompeado como sueños del oro en la casino de papel"
Lots of fish, mostly frito tho (try the masitas pescado), but I was happy to see they did arañas and tostones along with typical PR beach fare (mofongo, mariscos and stews).. And everything I touched was solid.
But the chill, open atmosphere made for the first night of many laughs and as mojitos as we could stand. Speaking of mojitos... Lots of flavors including grapefruit.
Also a dude on a horse and many, many Suzuki sidekicks turned Calle Camacho into an I. Promptu parade for which we had an epic sprawl and front row seats.
Now... someone please tell me it's gonna open back up soon.
