It's a great authentic spot which I was at first worried about bc I'm not a fan of Americanized Mexican food. The only thing I would improve is their salsa that comes with the free chips.

Today I ordered Ay Caramba through DoorDash. I was excited because I've had it before and was…read morecraving Mexican food. I decided to get the nachos with carne asada. The topping options were interesting though. They offered traditional choices like lettuce, pico de gallo, and jalapeños. The cheese sauce option was unexpected, but I chose it anyway. My food arrived quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. However, when I opened the to-go container, I immediately noticed that the protein on the nachos was shredded chicken instead of steak. Regardless, I started eating. As I went through the toppings, I also noticed there were pieces of plantain, which I hadn't selected on the DoorDash app. Overall, I was disappointed with the food and hope that, when I decide to dine in, both the food and service will be better.

Really well seasoned food. We got a chicken burrito and a carnitas quesadilla. The burrito was HUGE and had a great ratio of seasoned meat to rice and veg. The tortilla held up well. This actually made two comfortable meals for me. The quesadilla had wonderful flavor - that pork could not have been better. Food is cooked to order so expect to wait 10 minutes. Prices are higher than I expected ($27 for the above) but the food quality justified the cost. Will return.

It was a long shot as I've tried many places and receiving very mid food. I would say that out of every place I've tried in RVA the pastor tacos definitely stood out to me! I also got asada tacos, quesabirria tacos, and a pastor burrito! There are many trade workers coming to this truck so it must be a little gem. With only two people working, my food came out very quickly and was still very hot after a 15 minute drive! The workers were extremely nice and were happy to serve! They had little outdoor seating for the nice day outside, so you have somewhere to eat or sit while you wait!

I've been going to Taqueria Isabel for several years now. This the kind of place you REALLY want to…read morefind, as you might not even realize that it's here! The food here is up there with the best Mexican street food I've ever had -- maybe #2 for me! I usually get 3 tacos with different meats. You can have up to 2 different kinds of meat with a 3-taco order. I've had the carnitas, the carne azada, the chicken, the pastor, and the camarón. Everything is great, exactly as you'd want from street tacos. I've also had the quesadilla which is cheesy and crispy brown on the outside. Depending on who is there, you might need a little bit of Spanish, but they have always been patient with me, and I with them. Sometimes it's all English. Needing to speak a mix is a small price to pay for such delicious food, so don't worry about it! Thank you so much for such great food over the years! (As an aside, I'm not AI just because I used an em dash! Of course, that's what an AI would say, so I guess you'll just have to decide for yourself. )

I always recommend this place for anyone wanting authentic tacos at an affordable price! Everyone is always so friendly here!

The elote was loaded with a ton of cotija cheese. The shrimp tacos were seasoned really well and tasted amazing with a squeeze of lime and the salsa verde. The quesabirria tacos were my favorite especially paired with the consommé(I would recommend also squeezing some lime juice to elevate the flavors even more). The meat was tender and seasoned well. It would have been even better if the outside shell also had cheese as well, but nonetheless it was a fantastic taco. Overall a phenomenal Mexican restaurant with great tacos!

I ordered a birria taco served with cilantro, white onions, and consommé, and it did not disappoint. The flavor of the meat was outstanding, and the portion was so generous I easily made two tacos out of it. The consommé paired nicely with the taco, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. While it was already delicious, adding cheese and sour cream would make it absolutely next level. Overall, the quality, flavor, and portion size really stood out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

We ordered 6 tacos, the ones I ordered were a birria taco, shrimp taco, and a brisket or pork taco off their special menu I can't remember now. For appetizers, we ordered the salsas and chips. The salsas are made fresh in house and were so good! The order comes with 3, with varying levels of spice. The tacos were large and very filling. Apparently the record at this restaurant is 6 tacos in one sitting. I devoured 2, the birria and brisket/pork tacos. The flavors went together so nicely, the cheese crust was fun and tasty (albeit a bit messy), and the pickled veg was a great flavor and texture contrast. We had to take some food to go. Overall, the ambience is warm and inviting. The decor is eclectic, music is good, and clean. Will come again!

The burrito was good but could use some better sauce options. Got a 3/5 just bc the food could taste better. Wouldn't go back.
