Isabel's Cafe

This place was a gem we were lucky to find a table at. Despite it being busy, the service we had was great and the server answered the few questions that we had. It's like a family owned place that serves mouth watering authentic Mexican food. The parking situation is a bit rough though.We started with the queso that had a hint of spice that kept you coming back. The kids ordered a breakfast taco that despite its simplicity, was quite delicious and was huge. The Mexican plate #3 had everything one could want: enchiladas, tacos, and a chalupa with rice and beans, but reminded me of a tostada. Everything we ordered had layers of flavor, texture, and tasted like an abuela made the dish specifically for you. Lastly, the table salsa was the perfect complement to every dish!Should we return to the area, we will certainly be back.

As my daughter would say' "Yummersville!" We devoured our migas. They were delicious especially the tortilla (possibly the best I've ever had) and beans. The parking lot was very crowded and I was worried we have a wait but we were seated right away. All the staff were hussling the entire visit. They were very kind as well. Highly recommend Isabel's!

Great for breakfast all day, lovely staff, fast service. Will definitely be here regularly.

Had wonderful huevos rancheros on our way out of SPI. The sauce was unique and was so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. The refried beans, salsa, and fresh, homemade flour tortillas were wonderful. And thank you for such friendly service

Ok so if you are heading to Isabel's head out there early cuz it gets packed. As soon as we walked in the staff greeted us and sat us quickly. These are the regular sized tacos, which were pretty big if you ask me. The meat in the carne guisada looked different to me because I'm used to it being chunks but it was cut up pretty small, but had a lot of flavor. Also if add bacon, it is also chopped up and kinda looks like bacon bits but beats getting a small strip like a lot of other restaurants. The host was great, and noticed I was wearing a 49ers t-shirt so showed me some of the decor and made it an easy answer to give them a 5, and the food was really great. Definitely give Isabel's a try, but go early

An unassuming family restaurant. Be prepared for home-cooked food that will satisfy you delight your taste buds.I had the migas deluxe which was great. Possibly the best migas I've ever had. And of course, with those comes the humongous tortilla which they are famous for.The staff is attentive and friendly and eagerly take substitutions on the menu as well- something the hoity-toity restaurants need to learn.

A true treasure of Port Isabel, this place has been serving up delicious home-cooked meals since my childhood. Remarkably, nothing has changed, even in today's economy. The service is always exceptional; they treat you like family, and the environment is consistently clean and welcoming.

Amazing home-cooking with a super friendly wait staff. There's a reason they have been here for over 50 years!! Excellent value and the ranchero sauce is amazing!!

We were vacationing in South Padre Island and stopped at Isabel's Cafe for breakfast. It was so good we came back the next day. Service was great. Vibes were a lovely small town cafe. The breakfast tacos are huge with these delicious handmade tortillas. The salsa they provide is perfect. A little bit of heat but not enough where you are sweating. We ended up buying a mason jar of it. We will defo be back.

This adorable, family-owned spot is a must-try! The papas con huevo tacos are my ultimate comfort food, and theirs are excellent. Fluffy eggs, perfectly seasoned potatoes, tortilla de harina--yum! Just a heads up, the address on Yelp is wrong! Make sure you go to 102 Port Isabel, Port Isabel, TX 78578. You won't regret it!
