Thank you for the great food and pleasant service. The bill arrived at the table at just the right moment, and more importantly, not a moment sooner. Service was prompt and attentive without hovering (nobody likes that). Can't say enough good things about your establishment. The ownership group should be very proud of the product they are offering. We had the crème brûlée French toast 10/10, the birria omelet 9/10, and a cup of their house coffee with creamer. I'll definitely be back soon, and I'll spread the word to others.

It wasn't very tasty also the loaded nachos were ok and the birria tacos were so so. Consume was way to thick . Tacos were bland no cilantro onions or salsa on them just the tortilla and meat . Only three pieces of shrimp on the taco and they were not street tacos they were bigger. Atmosphere is ok small space but staff was friendly

The staff here are fantastic, and portions are huge at awesome prices. My mom was excited to see menudo on the menu and it was chock full of tripe!

This truck apparently stops at various locations on different days before going over to O'Reilly Auto Parts. I've seen them by Corwood Car Wash and on Sierra Court. It's good to phone ahead just to confirm their location before you drive around looking for them. The O'Reilly parking lot turned out to be really convenient for me because I remembered that I needed something for my car. I was able to run into the store and pick it up and get out just as my pupusas were finishing cooking.

The flavors are consistently good, and it's easy to understand why the restaurant is almost always full of people. The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. They have TVs throughout the restaurant, music playing in the background, and an energetic environment that makes it a fun place to dine. Because the restaurant is usually busy, the service can sometimes feel fast-paced, and during peak hours there may be a longer wait, but that is understandable considering how popular the place is. I've enjoyed many meals here, and the portions are always satisfying. The dishes are flavorful, well presented, and worth coming back for. However, I did have one experience that left me disappointed. I ordered albóndigas through DoorDash, and while the meatballs tasted fresh, I noticed that some of the meat in the soup seemed more like beef stew meat and didn't taste as fresh as the rest of the dish. The broth also tasted like it may have been older, while other ingredients seemed newly prepared. I understand that restaurants can get very busy, but customers appreciate consistency and freshness. If an item isn't available or isn't at its best that day, I would rather be told than have older ingredients mixed in with freshly prepared food. Overall, Isabella's Bar & Grill offers excellent flavor, generous portions, a fun atmosphere with TVs and music, and food that is usually very enjoyable. My hope is simply that the restaurant maintains the same level of freshness and quality that has made it such a popular spot in Atwater.
