The shrimp was straight from my frozen bag and it was not tasty at all. It made my stomach hurt all night lol definitely will not come back here, but I don't have to.

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 always recommend this place for anyone wanting authentic tacos at an affordable price! Everyone is always so friendly here!

Her food truck along Route 1 at the Chesterfield line has rescued me from late night hunger many a time. When Isabel told me she had saved up enough to open a new brick and mortar with a full menu I marked my calendar. This may seem like an unconventional spot for one to celebrate a 30th birthday, but the prices are on point, the flavors couldn't be more fabulous, and the service is always delivered with a smile. Freshly renovated, Restaurante Isabel is an oasis of warmth along the often desolate Route 1 corridor. The bright oranges and reds on the exterior and interior beckon you to try out her delectable dishes. Our party got pupusas, tacos, and gorditas choc full of carnitas, barbacoa, and chicken. Their made to order approach meant everything was hot, crisp, and packed with flavor just like Isabel promises. They have a full range of Mexican sodas and drinks, but I hope they get a liquor license soon because her meals would go perfectly with a margarita. Stomachs content, we thanked her staff for the delicious meal and got a beaming smile and a big wave goodbye from Isabel herself as she plated another round of tacos. I can't recommend this spot enough for its down to earth feel and fantastic flavors.
