Wanted to try another new place so stopped by their drive thru! The service is nice, I said I didn't like onions so she said the California has onion and recommended to get them removed. (This is why there's no guacamole on items, but got it on the side.) I also got the asada fries which were better! Total $32 for two items. The asada fries aren't too bad. The amount of asada given is good. I wish they added beans or more items onto it! Great amount of cheese. (3.5/5) The California burrito really lacked on the fries. Very little! But the rice and beans are good. (3/5) Overall it's definitely just a one stop kind of thing. read more

The owner Lady is Legendary for Rudeness. lol if you ask people around town they all say the same thing. " I use to go there but the lady at the counter is sooo rude I just stopped going. The food is mid pretty expensive which I can get past. but being rude all the time is crazy. She's seems like she's doesn't want to be there and providing any service is a major inconvenience for her. read more

Food is good but service is mediocre. We have been coming here a long time. Food has always been as expected.The woman's server is not friendly. read more

This is a great little taco shop. Came by here the other day while driving around. I'd never been here before, and looked for a taco shop on YELP and saw all the great reviews so I tried them out. They have fantastic salsa too...great spice! read more

Isidro's Tacos exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was welcoming and inviting, and the hospitality was truly fantastic. The two gentlemen working there were humble, respectful, and incredibly friendly--they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding. The menudo and chilaquiles were hands down the best we've ever had--full of flavor and prepared to perfection. Everything we tried was delicious, and the overall experience was excellent. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience. read more

Isidro's Taco Shop - California asada burrito - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

food is great but the lady at the front has the worst attitude. I won't come back just for that. I came in in a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. read more

First time here. I wasn't expecting much after seeing the rating but I enjoy trying new places. I grabbed a carne asada burrito to go. The staff were courteous and the food came out fast. I'm a huge lover of Mexican cuisine as you could see from my previous history. I loved how they chopped up the meat and allowed it to cook throughly. It was one of the best I've had in the area. The inside could use a bit of tlc but it wasn't terrible. I will return. read more

Ordered asada fries and it had very little meat, a small spoonful of sour cream and guac. An abundance of melted cheese but it was just not very satisfying. Also, they're stingy with napkins. Literally placed two napkins and when I requested more, the lady gave me a difficult time about it. ‍ Would not recommend. read more

This is exactly what a every restaurant needs to be. Yummy food. Solid prices. Quick wait and preparation. I know I got a classic but I suggest some plain o' chicken tacos~ so good read more

Their menudo is delicious and clean!!! I definitely recommend their menudo and breakfast burritos

I was really excited to try Isidoros, after hearing great things I gave it a try. The lady was kind. But when I got home, I realized they gave me the wrong burrito. The food was okay, but I will definitely have to give it another try and get what I actually wanted... read more

Isidro's Taco Shop - Burrito menu - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

Isidro's Taco Shop is a quaint, old school Mexican restaurant that serves up some classic, delicious food. If you're in the mood for some no-fuss, no-frills, home style plates with rice, beans, meat and tortillas, you found a great spot. We ordered 5 tacos, 3 asada and 2 carnitas, all with the works, as well as a side of rice and beans. The food was exactly what we were craving on a long day headed back from Monterrey, and the ambience and attitude of the staff immediately made us feel welcome. The atmosphere is straight out of the 1970s or 80s, with white brick and maroon carpet like an old bingo hall. The food delivered, the vibe was unique and memorable, and for a little shop in Marina, CA, Isidro's does it right. Would defitneily stop here again, maybe even trying their drive thru option! read more

My mom arrived and asked for a coffee. The coffee tasted like sink water. When I arrived we asked for a sample of their menudo, which was cold and disgusting. And don't get me started with The service it was terrible. The waitress who works there needs to take customer service classes read more

Went there tonight with Family. The waitress did a great job serving us however she ruined all her hard work by yelling at me for asking to pay separately. Should I have mentioned it earlier yes but I am not paying for food out to be yelled at . Very rude! From the looks of yelp it looks like I am not the first to complain about her rude behavior. The husband is so nice and the food was good. Service counts for about 80 % in my book. I am sad to report I left there very upset. read more

Breakfast burritos all day! Great and fast service, definitely a favorite of mine to grab a burrito and take it to the beach to eat

The female owner is incredibly rude and has no understanding of good business practice. I used to come all the time and buy food for myself and others. I've probably spent over $2000 there in the last few years. She gave me a hard time because I asked for lime with my $10 burrito. I will take my business somewhere that appreciates their regulars. Won't be coming back! read more

This facility is poorly ran. Explains why it is completely empty upon arrival. The lady is extremely rude; when i kindly asked her what size cup (from the ones displayed) was the small for the horchata drink, she points and says "that one"..mind you we're like 100ft from the beverages. I was made to feel like an inconvenience, and i'm 8months pregnant, the energy was heavy, and the pests top it off! flies all over and a filthy smell in the hallway to the restroom. Please save your time and money, and go to Papa Chevo's! read more

I ordered the chicken wet burrito. Very delicious, and the Jaimica is also very good. The burrito is a nice size, so bring your appetite. I will be back to try the steak wet burrito,I also saw they have a Chimichanga. I love them, must try it also. read more

Isidro's Taco Shop - Wet Chicken Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

The food here is always so good. I've been coming for years and have never had anything bad. I personally love their salsa. It has the right amount of kick, but also great flavor. Isidro and his wife are very friendly and don't forget a face. read more

WOW we went in there paid for a Torta and the torta looked like a mini torta ... there was ants on the table ...and they offered no chips and salsa ... we also ordered a shrimp tostada and the shrimp were warm ... not good ... it's a NO FOR ME .... read more

Mexican food is one of my favorites and somehow the chili verde platter that I've ordered didn't have taste and it was soupy! The burrito was tasteless. I give good reviews on food as my #1 priority. Second is the service which was average. The venue comes last and it's clean and average looking. I gave good tips mainly for the cashier and the chef regardless of the food quality for their efforts to serve properly. I wish the owner/s will evaluate the quality of their food in order to attract repeat clientele considering of high visibility of Mexican restaurants around the area. The competition is tough! No, we will not return mainly due to the quality of their food. Sorry. read more

The food quality is very low and they overcharge. Ordered fries $3.99 for a small amount that tasted like lard!! The food was the worst Mexican food I've ever tasted in my life! I ordered flautas not fajitas! Bagged iceberg lettuce was all over everything and it had the smell and taste of old lettuce, it was in the shrimp tacos and fish tacos. Our order was soles, 1 shrimp taco, 1fish taco, flautas plate fajita), taquitos plate, cheese quesadilla, and fries. Total was $50.75! read more

I hate being those people but... if I could give this place negative stars, I would. From the moment I stepped into this restaurant it felt dirty ( I was here with family so I didn't have a say in this decision) The service was awful, the cashier/server made us feel as if she was doing us a favor by even talking to us. My sister's food had hair in it and when we asked if she could give us a new plate she was rude and pretended to not see the hair and kind of gave us shifty looks. Sometimes I can ignore bad service if the food is amazing. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. I ordered the chilaquiles plate which had the chilaquiles, scrambled eggs, beans and "country potatoes" the chilaquiles were very dry, the scrambled eggs were watery, the beans were completely rancid and the country potatoes were just those frozen fries cut into smaller pieces. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY and go to McDonald's instead. read more

Isidro's Taco Shop - We were all starving but refused to finish the food because it was that gross and we were scared of food poisoning - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

Isidro's was recommended to me and I became obsessed with trying them out after reading their Yelp reviews and seeing that they had a chile relleno burrito (under $8 with tax). I used to enjoy those at a restaurant that's since closed and rarely see it on menus. This was legit. The tortilla was soft and fresh and the cheese was perfectly melted. It was accompanied by two salsas -- tomatillo & pico de gallo. The only difference was that their version is dry. The only con is that I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't leave any leftovers! Next time, we may eat there (a huge plus is that they serve beer, too) and I may ask for this burrito wet (covered in red sauce). read more

Isidro's Taco Shop - The chile relleno burrito was tasty! - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

It is crazy to me that I was kindly talking to the cashier and then I asked for lemon when she continued to add an additional charge. There was flies all over the restaurant the food was horrible. The chile verde looked like chicken the beans and rice were horrible with them tasting watered down the burrito was poorly wrapped didn't have no meat only had beans for the most part. The prices are overcharged for the horrible service and food. The only thing that was decent was the drinks but yet they were watered down. It's so sad I've never and I mean never had to write a type of complaint like this I hope not to do it again. read more

I'm not sure why all these rude people have left poor message about Isidro's. I have found the owners to be very pleasant and kind. I think everyone is stressed out right now and to leave a negative review for people who are providing an excellent service is a disgrace. Love the food and the service! read more

My initial experience was much different than the last two. Like night and day. The interior is a bit overpowered with the odor of industrial cleaner and the attitude of staff can be best described as indifferent. The written price on the menu was not honored at the register. The kid actually looked perturbed when I quoted the menu board price vs what he was demanding. Also on this latest visit the woman who took the order was curt and refused to discuss anything resembling substitutions. I did give them an honest try and they do make a delicious bean and cheese burrito. Not feeling respect for the customer here. read more

First time here- yelp reviews were good so I thought we would give it a try. Arrived at lunchtime on a saturday and no one was in the restaurant so asked if they were open and the response was -you are in arent you (in spanish). Asked how the Al Pastor and Carnitas were and response was i dont know, you have to try it. The restaurant was freezing inside! Ordered the Chili Relleno plate and Al Pastor burrito. For the price there was not much meat in the burrito and neither meal tasted very good. read more

Asked meat to be "dorado" medium well. Meat is not even close to that. Ok too A lot of fat in the meat. And burrito was very small. read more

I was in the area and decided to pick up dinner from the drive thru. Friendly service and yummy food for the win. I tried fish tacos, flan, and Jamaica tea. The nice lady who took my order and gave me the food cautioned me to keep the flan level so as to keep it from spilling. Not used to seeing flan on the menu with drive thru tacos, burritos, torts, etc., but I am glad I tried it because she said it is homemade and it is delicious! read more

Don't know what the bad reviews are about, I've always had great food and service here! Breakfast burritos are amazing! The other burritos could use a bit more meat but that would be my only complaint. Al pastor here is delicious and carne aside fries came loaded! read more

The chorizo is the best I've ever had!! It's made in house and with the spice and texture it should be a crime to come here and NOT get the chorizo!! I could eat here every day and not get bored read more

The combination breakfast burrito always hits the spot. Quick and easy pick up using the drive up window.

Isidro's Taco Shop - carnitas burrito - Mexican Near Me - Marina, California

Gave it another try and.... hardly any bacon, again! Also, Leticia is so cheap on sauce ! Before , they would always give 2 salsas per burrito, now that Leticia is working the window, she only includes 1 salsa per burrito. When you ask her for more , it seems like such an inconvenience. I don't mind paying extra for sauce . What is the big deal with salsa ? read more

8/25/18 Do you remember playing or maybe just sitting in the grass? Perhaps it was for a picnic, or an outdoor concert, or maybe you had fond memories of childhood spent frolicking in the grass for no real reason at all... But have you ever paused, plucked a blade of grass, and wondered what miracles it spent its life making? Children frolickin'... ladybugs eating, little tiny bugs making their home... all the way down to millions of bacteria eating, sticking pili into each other, making millions more baby bacteria, and maybe one day ending up in the tummy of a critter feeding............. all cause of this one blade of grass! But who the f cares. That's this restaurant. A blade of grass. They make food (I had a carne asada burrito myself), people come to eat, and there's no reason to say anything more than that about here. 3/5 #mexican #marina #concours #monterey #star read more

I always use to pass by and say ill go here next time... It finally took me a few times but i did it. Thanks to a buddy of mine saying get your butt up and lets go try it. So i tried it. A Super Chicken Cali. Best Cali i have had. The next time i went, I had that and the Bean and cheese burrito(Felt like having a fat day). BEST bean and cheese Burrito in town. the 3rd time i went i tried the Sausage breakfast burrito, was good, not great but good cant win them all. But it is now in my top 3 favorite places in Monterey/Seaside/Marina. I will be back Isidro's! I will be back. :D hahaha read more

The worst: Service Food Employees Terrible terrible terrible Rude, unhelpful, and the food was average....at best. To top it off, in order to take my drink to go, the lady was going to charge me another $1.75. I will not, would not, and could not EVER come back here again. Horrendous. Would have been better going almost anywhere else. read more
