    Come here for some amazing authentic comfort food. We all left with big smiles and happy memories. Service: so friendly and so welcoming. The chef, Memo, came out and talked to us. He told us how Memo's came about. He is from the Bay Area and was a chef for high end restaurants in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Brought it right here in this cute little community called Isleton. Nice touches such as they roast their own coffee, highly filtrated water system, European cooking techniques which create the outstanding flavors. The whole place is so clean and cozy. We will definitely be back and it's worth the 1 hour drive it took us to get here.

    Tilapia ceviche
    Alexandra G.

    Tilapia ceviche (Caribbean style with pineapple & mango) was fantastic and the service was very, very good. The sangria is also quite tasty! I could see the place being very good for an elevated casual date night in the area.

    Queso Napolitano
    Martha G.

    A hidden gem in Isleton that I found on my way home from Sac., and I'm truly glad I made the pit stop. Service was great and food was even better! Plus everything was made in house. I tried the Chile con Queso, a very different version of a typical Chile relleno. This grilled Pasilla pepper was filled w/mozzarella cheese & mashed potatoes, served w/chunky salsa ranchera. It was tasty but I still prefer the standard chile relleno. I took the cilantro rice and black beans to go. The next day I made a burrito and it was good. The dessert, Queso Napolitano was to die for! It was rich & creamy w/caramel and topped with strawberry jam. Mirles, the pastry chef confirmed she made the flan like cheesecake with the homemade strawberry jam. A must try dessert!

    Carnitas plate w/ rice and beans

    I can't believe we waited so long to try this new spot in Isleton! The resraurant is small but the vibe is spot on and makes you feel comfortable. Hannah was our server and she was so sweet and very helpful with any questions we had about the menu. 10/10 service! Memo even came up to our table to introduce himself and ask us how we were doing. Everything we ordered was amazing! Possibly the best carnitas ive ever had. We will definitely be coming back to try everything else on the menu.

    Vegan skewers
    Corinne C.

    Three of us had lunch at this restaurant today and found it a delightful experience. One of us had the vegan skewers, one had a shrimp dish, and the third had street tacos. We got shrimp ceviche for the table and lovely Prosecco to drink. The service was superb and the atmosphere is delightful.

    A delicious Pork chop at Memos in Istleton, Ca. Go treat yourself! Yum!

    This was my delicious pork chop dinner at Memos in Istleton, Ca. My friends loved their meal too! Praise God for this amazing restaurant!

    Island tower.

    Food was incredibly fresh, and delicious, every bite was a delight. We ordered the Island tower. Which is essentially a breakfast burrito stacked in a perfect circle comes with chips. Delicious !!!!!! Service was spot on!! And quick. With a smile. Ambiance is sooo cozy and very clean. This place is a Gem in the city of Isleton. Def coming back!!

    Carnitas burrito

    Awesome fat burritos featuring scratch made meats and salsas. Extremely high end quality, but reasonably priced. No low-end fillings. Staff and owner super friendly. Owner was explaining to us how he makes this special "tomatillo rice" for the burritos. Sweet espresso machine. All in all a great food experience. :) I used to spend 1970's and 1980's summers on my dad's sailboat tied up to the trees along steamboat slough near here, which was a HUGE scene at that time,,,tons of liveaboard boaters. And we'd sometimes drive here to isleton for gas. Ice. Food. Etc. It's nice to see this 19th century historic town revitalized now as a vibrant restaurant scene. So cool! I want to try the ceviche upon my next visit to Memo's.

    Entrance
    Jenn Q.

    Soft opening 10/19/25 - Party of 3 @ 11:30a We were welcomed by owners and staff by the entrance along with samples of both shrimp ceviche & mini street tacos. They offered limited menu for soft opening. We ordered a few mini street tacos which came with mild roasted tomatillo cilantro & spicy roasted tomatoes habanero (on point!). We're definitely looking forward to trying the full menu after Wednesday, 10/22/25.

    Great wine

    I believe the food and service was 10 + stars service was great four great service awesome . I had tiramisu wonderful and lam chops yummy Will be back

    We finally made it out to Memo's in Isleton and had a great experience. The cochinita burrito was excellent, the ceviche tasted incredibly fresh, and the sangria was really good. Just a warning, the salsa that comes with the ceviche is seriously hot. They warn you at the table, and they're not exaggerating. We finished with the coconut flan and tiramisu (yes, both), and both were unreal. The food was great, but the people running the place made the experience even better. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about what they were serving. Memo's is absolutely worth the drive. We'll be back a lot more often.

    Service was excellent!
    Patty D.

    The food was amazing! Fresh, seasoned very well, and nice portions! They have a full bar and Margaritas are out of the world! Customer service was excellent, catered to our every need. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

    Carnitas burrito and street tacos! Burrito was delicious and not dry!
    Ann T.

    Exceptional customer service and a truly delightful experience! The food was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor--absolutely delicious. The space feels wonderfully cozy, with thoughtful design and charming decorations that make you want to linger. Don't be fooled by the exterior; this spot is a hidden gem worth discovering! Be sure to save room for their outstanding desserts--they're not to be missed. My husband loved his coffee, and our friendly server, Hanna, went above and beyond by showing us the actual coffee beans sourced from Chiapas, Mexico (known for their smooth, nutty notes with hints of chocolate--such a nice touch!). Highly recommend this place for a relaxing, tasty meal. We'll definitely be back!

We ordered The Bobby with Sourdough Roll, Pastrami, Mortadella, Provolone, Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Oil & Vinegar - delicious and a hearty size. We also got The Angela with Croissant, Roast Beef, Pepper Jack Cheese, Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Pepperoncini Peppers, Sprouts, Tomato, Red Onion. Both sandwiches were delicious. We also ordered two zombie sandwiches for a light dinner later that night. They are like bread buns stuffed with sandwich meat and cheese. Very good! You can have them heat the zombies for you. Service was great. The guy who took our order was friendly, respectful, and attentive. They have bottled drinks, chips, and jams and other items from local family-owned businesses. There's no indoor or outdoor seating, so plan to order and go! There's only a small entrance and ordering area inside the restaurant.

I hate to say it, but that was a mistake. Not the drive down the Delta, but stopping here.. As other people have mentioned, it's a cool space with lots of character. I Head into the dining room, and they were pretty busy. I was kind of surprised, as it was a Wednesday. If they are this busy at lunchtime on a Wednesday, I can imagine what they are like on the weekend. I waited a few minutes to sit down, and then finally I walked over and asked the server if I could just sit anywhere. She said yes, I could. She came over to my table to give me my menu, asked what I wanted to drink, and brought it right back. She said she would be right back to take my order, it was about 10 minutes. It only goes downhill from here.... So she comes and takes my order. I ordered an appetizer of the grilled bread with marmalade and peanut butter, and for my lunch, I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese. She said, "I will bring you your appetizer first." So I wait, and I wait, and I wait... As I mentioned, there was a good number of people in the dining room, and there were also people ordering food while sitting in the the barroom. . She was the only one serving, and it looked like there was only one, possibly two people cooking. 30 minutes in, I don't even have my appetizer yet. I waved her down and asked her, and she said it will be soon, there's still a few people ahead of me waiting for their food. As I was watching, I noticed that food was coming out of the kitchen pretty slowly. 45 minutes in... Still, not even an appetizer. I was going to wait a few more minutes, but then I noticed something. I was watching the server. She was not only bringing food, she was handling money I watched her scratch her head, wipe her face with her hand, and then she even scratched her behind, although through her shorts that she was wearing. They were jeans, shorts, and to me, they seemed pretty short for working in a restaurant That was enough for me, I left. I decided to go back home via the other side of the river. I crossed over, and almost immediately found a bar and grill, where I decided to stop for lunch. The service was stellar, and the food was amazing. The prices were also very good.

Seeing that they only had 3 stars in Yelp, I was cautious about ordering. Tomato beef chow mein is such a simple dish, I thought to myself they can't possibly mess this up. But they did. And on all levels. The dish was fully drenched in high fructose corn syrup sweet and sour generic sauce, preordered from their supplier. In fact, there was so much sauce, I felt sharp, stinging, or aching feeling in my teeth as if my teeth had an enamel erosion resulting in tooth nerve pain while eating. The sauce was overflowing and was leaking out of their styrofoam toxic to-go box. Red flag! On top of the above: 1. The chow mein was soggy and all broken. (It's supposed to have a chewy texture and long in length). This could signal that they recooked or reused old chow mein. **one review mentioned that they had char on their chow mein. I also had some in my order today, so it means old chow mein is mixed with new?** 2. The tomatoes were overcooked and mushy. It also had a foul smell. Like they picked up some rotten tomatoes inside an old garbage can. 3. Green bell peppers and squash were both undercooked. Also had a foul smell and tasted like spoiled veggies. 4. Onions. They simply just tossed it in the food before closing the to-go box. It was pungent and raw. 5. The beef wasn't edible. 80% of it had the texture of a rubber band. Beef wasn't fresh even though they tried velveting it with baking soda and flash-frying it. I feel bad for the town of Idleston. They have to experience low quality foods and poorly prepared and high prices. And I viewed all their health violations. Just wanted to puke. Clearly shows a business that is profit over people. Will not be returning. Also not sure why they added a packet of soy sauce when clearly the dish was drenched in sugar sauce. They also added a container of oil based sauce. Maybe learn how to control cost so you can reduce your prices in the your menu.
