For taste, promptness and courtesy of service (ask for Jessica by name) value and most of all by taste, Isabella's knows just what its doing and it delights with every mouthful. The three-tapas lunch special wowed us beyond all reasonable expectations for taste, imaginative diversity of flavors and value. Portions are generous and you cannot go wrong with what you choose. Apparently, save room for the desserts which also are a point of pride. We simply had no room! But we will be back. And back...

Frederick, Md. has some of the best restaurants within an hour's drive from home…read more Isabellas's is right there amongst the best in downtown Frederick. Ii is a spanish restaurant and serves excellent food. I had the seafood paella (one of my favorite dishes). The rice was flavored and seasoned perfectly. It was loaded with shrimp, mussels, calamari, and My wife had the beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes. For our cocktails, we had the peach sangria. Absolutely light and delicious. Our server was excellent. He made excellent recommendations and was very attentive. The dining area was very comfortable, roomy, bright, clean and nicely decorated. Eaxh booth comfortably seats anywhere from 4 to 6 customers. There is a bar offering beer, cocktails and wines. The bathrooms were spotless and modern. There is paid street parking. I easily and strongly recommend this restaurant.

Menu sounded perfect, so we stopped by to try. Plenty of parking in this shopping center, which is close to an Aldi. We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server approached the table with chips and salsa and took our drink orders. They do offer beer and a few drinks optioms, but we opted for Mexican coke and a Tamarindo. We were set on ordering pupusas, so thats what we went with. We didnt wait long, and immediately I was happy with how the pupusas looked. The revuelta and tomato salsa was the perfect addition and tasted great. They were pretty big, so after eating 1. I was already full. We took the rest home and enjoyed it the next day! Overall, good service, good food and would Def go again.

The steak enchiladas were packed with steak bites and were so creamy and delicious! The wings were crispy and moist inside with a nice tangy buffalo sauce. My family and I definitely enjoyed this location and I recommend giving it a try.

First impression - the space is large and inviting. And the staff- one of the most attentive and friendliest places I've been to in Frederick. Not just our server ... but everyone greeted us and saw us to the door. The food was good. I ordered steak and shrimp fajitas and both were buttery tender ( just needed some more spices?) A little pricey in comparison to a few of the other Mexican places we tried. The big miss of the lunch was Valencia Orange margarita... it tasted like tequila on ice. Again, no flavors. I ordered the mango frozen marg and it was the consistency of baby food and really sweet. Even the house chips and salsa - very plain.

I absolutely had an amazing experience with the creamy crab soup! It was indeed creamy and full of crab and the flavor was of fresh crab with spiciness and that comforted creaminess. The tamales were also fresh tasting, a great portion and very flavorful. My partner was not too happy about the flavor of the carne asada. I did notice that it used to come with a dollop of crema fresca and guacamole but this time none were on the plate. I think this maybe the reason my partner didn't find it as appealing as other times. I also noticed we weren't asked if we wanted more chips and salsa. The restaurant did smell cleaner from that last review and the service was good.

We chose Mayta's largely based on location, being open for lunch and strong online reviews. We were quite happily unsurprised with the quality of its fare and its seeming value. Nestled into a quasi-upscale strip center on the western side of suburban Frederick, Mayta's presents an extensive and diverse menu, with helpful pictures and short narrative descriptions. Food is order-at-the-counter, either off of the lighted overhead menu or standard printed menus. The cuisine for both is the same. For dine-in, which is what we did, one need not pay upon ordering but we did so for our convenience and that of the staff. We both ordered off of the $20 lunch specials menu, for which you get one appetizer, one entree and one soft drink. We found the portions delicious and generous - both of us brought home considerable leftovers for lunch the next day. Each dish was well-seasoned and prepared without being too salty (a too common failing for international cuisine prepared for American consumers. While we also are intrigued by Mayta's neighbors in the strip center, we definitely would come back. There is nothing not to like here.

It was right when they had opened so that's the main reason for the little traffic. The decorations were nice and colorful and the music was perfect. It was a good mix of classical and modern day music. Everything was very clean. The food was fresh and delicious. My wife liked the idea that the lengua was cooked then grilled. The ceviche was very fresh. The cheese stayed melted and the "cheese pull" was a 9 out of 10. The steak was perfectly seasoned and super tender. The burrito filling was a good balance and stuffed with meat. This restaurant ensures that the protein out-weighs the veggies and not too many places do that. This was highly awesome and, not to mention, filling. We had a couple of cervesas but they didn't have it in a draft; bottle only. I also ordered the margarita w/ cononita and a passion fruit Mojito. The mojito was freshly made and strong . Just gotta drink it fast because of the paper straw . Overall, I will definitely be coming back for the amazing food... AND THE DRINKS!
