I went this place first and last time, they want you to pay in advance not mention the we wait 30 minutes after they bring 3 little tacos$6.25 each which is ridiculous for what you get and not even homemade they ripped you out with the drinks too Worst experience,find out nasty restroom by the kitchen full of feces with doors while open while the server in and out the kitchen carrying food , inspection is a must at this nasty place !!

Fresh made guacamole and thick salty chips

Not your run of the mill NC Mexican joint. The food was authentic and full of flavor. My wife and I will be back for sure.

We went on a Wednesday night and had no issue getting a table. They asked if we had a reservation when we arrived so maybe it does get Busy. This is a Mexican food mart with an outdoor dining space. I saw a few dining tables inside looking at the kitchen. Chips and salsa are $3.50. The salsa had some spice, but tasted very tomatoey. It needed more flavor. The steak and carnitas tacos were good. I ordered refried beans and received black Beans that were Luke warm and tasted right out of a can. The steak quesadillas were delicious and full of white creamy cheese. I ordered two tacos and they brought me three. The server told me to keep the extra and they removed it from the bill. Overall, it was okay. If in the area again, I would try another place.

Try this place! Their food is delicious and not that Mexican fusion/Texmex style. Everything I had was fresh and served authentic Mexican style. Although, you have the option to add other stuff to your tacos if you'd like. Their chips and salsa were fresh. My waitress said that she made it all fresh that day. The restaurant is in the back of the market. There's plenty of space in their outdoor seating. It's very casual with music playing, which was nice. Everyone from the wait staff, to the cashier, to the chefs were all very friendly. After you're done eating, walk around the market. They've got a lot of snacks, baked goods, and some souvenirs. As for the parking, the lot in front of the market/restaurant is not big but there's plenty of space next door if it's full.

Seafood Sopes! they where great!

QUICK READ: GREAT PLACE! AMAZING STAFF AND AMAZING FOOD! all around great atmosphere! This is my second time at this place to eat and each time I love it more and more! I'm from California and I have no family here but this place reminds me of home so much! What makes me so happy about this place is they have Auga de Jamica! it's so hard to come by! the portions are great and the flavors are all there. I love this place and although I currently live in Boone I make the drive JUST for Isabellas! IF YOU'RE IN THE GENERAL AREA COME HERE AND EAT! or shop! they have a market too!

I cant remember what this margarita is called, but it was awesome.

We recently had a group dinner after a long day of meetings (I hosted/facilitated so it was long for the group for sure!) and wanted something with good food, casual atmosphere, and some good cocktails too! Well we got all of the above except, with great food, great cocktails and the team there were very kind, attentive, and helpful. I realize now the type of restaurant is one in which there isn't servers etc., yet you wouldn't have known it. I'm hoping my colleague tipped well, since I think I'm the only one that realized we were supposed to order up front. The food was so good. And my margarita was the best. Thank you. We were there Tues Feb 7th at about 6pm. Table of 10. To the staff, thank you so very much! F you'll have us, we will definitely be back!

Service was excellent, food was amazing as always, it's a different style of Mexican restaurants and not so compacted with people. It's old school I love it and great prices!! Been coming here for years never had an issue. Love love love itttt!!!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Hickory. They have authentic Mexican food, an awesome ambiance, friendly service, and excellent food! I love their vegan options. My new favorite are their vegan alpastor tacos.

I had heard good things about Las Isabelas and I regret not going sooner! This is one of those "hole in the wall" restaurants that doubles as a market so it is easy to miss. You order at a station and are given a number before seating yourself where your order is brought to your table. The tacos are delicious, as well as the ACP but the fresh guacamole is what keeps me coming back! The dishes are also aesthetically pleasing and the atmosphere is relaxed, I enjoy every visit!

For truly, authentic Mexican meals, this is the place! Everything menu item is made to order. The help staff are wonderful. I had one of the best Chimichangas ever! The other dishes were just as good! Fresh shrimp, Sopes, and fabulous tacos. When I come back, I'm heading here again. The also have a market where you can purchase authentic Mexican groceries. Truly fantastic spot.

Food was eatable but very bad. For starters the food was cold, I got a chicken burrito chicken was…read moreburnt and everything was ice cold in the inside. The flavor of the food in general was bad.

We came in after 12pm and it was pretty much dead, only a few people were seated around us. The…read morewaiter was kind and checked on us pretty often. We ordered an appetizer then ordered our main meals, for some reason all of the food came out at once and it was a little overwhelming especially when you're supposed to receive your appetizer first. I got the crispy fries with meat and guacamole, they absolutely drenched the fries in guacamole and it didn't taste fresh at all. There was just too much of everything on it. The appetizer was huge and if I would have known that I personally wouldn't have ordered it especially if I knew it was going to be served all at once. I got the chorizo quesadilla and there wasn't any cheese in it for some reason, I couldn't even pick it up without it falling apart, had to pick at it with a fork, on top of that it wasn't hot at all. Only the plate was hot which didn't make any sense, the chipotle sauce they added on top tasted absolutely like nothing unfortunately. The "ambiance" of the place felt off since it was almost completely empty and we had several different people come up to us and ask if the food was okay. Which is normal but it just got irritating since it seemed like everybody who worked there just kept on asking us. Check was about $60 including tip, to me personally it wasn't worth it. But overall it made great dogfood.
