Isabel's Amor

This is Someburro's fancy sister. Same family, same delicious food in a nice, sit down restaurant with a tequila bar. The ambiance is lovely with a lot of antique photos (I love that look), and our server was friendly and attentive. The food is good, and you get a lot of it. I'm picky about red sauce, and I do like theirs. One thing that makes me like a Mexican place is the rice, and I love the rice here

This place is super cute and the service as always top notch. They are very respectful and kind!You can beat the kids meal- perfect amount of food for an entree and dessert is included! I got the carnitas plate- very good and crispy just like they say on the menu! The home made tortillas are amazing. I wish there was a sauce like a creama or a consume to add to this dish- the crispy carnitas is tasty but I needed some moisture!My hubby got the three amigos tacos and enjoyed them. He wished there were more shrimp in the shrimp taco (there were only three pieces)

I recently visited Isabel's Amor and had a generally enjoyable experience. To start, I ordered a Mexican Old Fashioned to drink, which I really liked. It had a nice balance of flavors and was a refreshing twist on the classic cocktail.For my meal, I ordered the pairing of tamales and enchiladas. The tamal was pretty good, with a nice texture and flavor. However, I felt the cheese enchiladas could have been a little better. Perhaps it was the type of cheese used, but they didn't quite hit the mark for me.Service was good, with the staff being attentive and friendly. Overall, it is a nice spot for a meal, and I'd recommend it, especially for the drinks and tamales.

Stopped in shortly before closing for some shrimp tacos to-go and an Isabel's especial margarita while I waited. Anthony & Ryan were super friendly, helpful and professional. I hate it when it's closer to closing time and the servers are more concerned with closing duties than their customers. But not these guys!!! Anthony and Ryan make great drinks and made sure that I had options for salsa since the hot sauce sometimes burns my stomach (it's sooooo good though!) The first margarita was so good, I had to order one to-go. Don't miss out on this service, as there is not a better margarita in town. My shrimp tacos were amazing as always, as were the black beans. I'd eat here every night if I could!

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.

I came here to attend an East Valley Singles MeetUp for the first time, on April 17, 2024. I hadn't heard of this restaurant until it was posted on the MeetUp. 16 people attended and we sat on the patio.I already picked my entree before I arrived. I always pick chilli relleno, because it isn't something that I would bother to make for myself at home, being so labor intensive.Well this place charges $11 for one chili relleno with no sides, even tho I ordered the entree that is supposed to come with rice, beans, and flour tortilla. I showed the server on the menu, what I wanted. But when the food was served it was only 1 chili relleno. I wanted a long time but the beans and rice never came. When I pointed out to the female who brings the dishes to the table, she had such a bewildered look about "rice and beans" that the hostess of the event, sitting next to me, was laughing. I asked her what was she laughing at, and she said the girl looked so clueless and blank faced, at my request for rice and beans. I told the girl "it comes with the chili relleno entree". She acted like "Got it" and went away. So she did eventually bring the rice and beans but it took soooooo long, it was not before I had to walk up there and remind her, and that I was waiting to eat my chilli relleno WITH THE RICE AND BEANS, and my rellena was cold now. I also had to remind the servers that I didn't get my flour tortilla (this was after I had already finished my food), that the menu said was supposed to come with my order. The chili relleno was SOOOOO BORING AND BLAND and WATERY, I was almost shocked. I also asked for more sauce, to make it less boring. But when the sauce was delivered I had to flag down another server to bring me a spoon to eat it worth (sauce and beans and rice came in a soup bowl). I ate a chili that was so hot in my mouth. I didn't have any ice. I flagged my server for the ice, but it took soooooo long for him to bring it. the rest of the group didn't get their food for a very long time.When I got my bill, I was surprised to see I was charged $11 for the chili relleno, and another $5 for the rice and beans labeled as "side dish" as if it were an after thought. I rarely give 1 stars but this place is getting a 1 star, mostly for poor service. It wouldn't be 1 star if the chili relleno wasn't so shockingly BORING, WATERY, and BLAND. I felt this restaurant was expensive, too, for "Mexican food". Valle Luna's chili relleno is much better tasting and several dollars cheaper for the entree plate. It is $6.98 for one chili relleno there, so I order two as sides. At Isabel, two chlli relleno would cost me $22, and there isn't even any meat in it, and so boring and watery! I would be really mad, if I ordered 2 of these, and had to pay $22! I couldn't wait to post this one star review.

Stopped by Saturday evening with no reservations and was seated in about 15 min! The menu isn't extensive but the food is good and pretty authentic. I got the three tacos and they were all good, but especially the carnitas. My flavored margarita tasted pretty strong, as well. The service was quick too! The atmosphere is pretty nice although decor seemed a bit random. Couldn't figure out what vibe they're going for but it'd be good for a low key date night.

After visiting again I'm changing my review. The service is less than mediocre. We waited 35 minutes for a table. Once we sat down it took 30 minutes for our waiter to take our order, and that was after flagging them down. One of the employees was chatting it up with the table next to us for 30 minutes at least while all the other employees are rushing around. I could see the waiters making boxes in the back in between checking tables. It was just not well organized. I watched a table that was sat 40 minutes after us get their food before us. I asked for more chips, didn't get them. The food is subpar for the price. Chips and salsa are ok. Horchata is water from a mix. I think the better reviews probably come from people there for the tequila. Will not be returning.

Our server Jairo is amazing. We are regulars on a Thursday night and Jairo always takes time to talk to us make sure we have all we need and when he is our server definitely takes care if us! Great customer service! He knows our regular Cadillac Margaritas too!!! Thanks Jairo you are amazing! Isaiah is also one to get a shout out for recognition and great margaritas!! Awesome job and great place highly recommend

Great service and food! A cute little spot to enjoy drinks and a good meal after work. I love the carne asada fries and hubby loves the chimichanga. Would definitely return.
