Yes. Yes. Yes! While in the area, Tacos El Patrón was recommended for lunch. I had never been to…read morethis spot before, but trusted the locals on their go-to. I'm already excited for an opportunity to come back soon! I was told the tacos are a must, so of course I ordered a Chicken Tinga Tostada and Vampiro with steak. I also ordered a Watermelon Aguas Frescas. For the table we did an order of Guacamole with Pork Belly (first time ever trying this!) and Birria Grilled Cheese Bites. Something cool about ordering tacos here is upon ordering two, you can grab complimentary sides that include cactus, radishes, grilled onion, and beans. There's also the cutest bottles of hot sauce on the table for your meal. The service was quick and friendly, ambiance was fun and vibrant. Would be fun to come back for a marg at the bar. Seems like a vibe for that post-work moment. I noticed a special kiddo menu and breakfast menu. Also, they have a pretty cool Birria menu filled with fun items like Birria fries, flautas, pizza, ramen, and more! The grilled cheese bites were a great app to get an intro to what a full plate could look like. Super fresh and flavorful food, parking adjacent in small lot, and left with overall awesome feels.

It's sit-down and I miss the fast casual experience, but the food still comes out super fast and the wait staff is very friendly. Everything I've had here has been amazing, you can't go wrong. They supply 4 different salsas in large bottle so I can drench my food in delicious salsa. Love it.

Feb 2 2025 3.5 stars…read more Lately our go to Mexican eats is Cinco De Mayo in Martinez. Christians-smh. It is Sunday and Cinco is closed. The server and service here at Isla was perfect. I pointed out to he waiter that he had a crumb on his chin and he wiped and chuckled like a nice champ. The music is pleasant but a bit louder than needed so I brought out the earplugs. The entire indoor setup is nice. Our food is arriving after what seems like a long wait meaning either the food is being served fresh, hot and tasty, or we are in for a mediocre experience. Our two plates arrived. Chilli relleno and Grilled chicken enchilada. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the smallish squair white plates. Reminds me of trying to look upscale. We own plates like these and that didn't work. Wife's enchilada plate was covered with three hot and very tasty chicken filled food bombs plus sides. The chili plate looked a little weak (too much plate showing) but that was the tastiest chilli relleno ever in 40 years of me enjoying these. Served hot with cheese filled up to the ying yang, an extra spiciness I have never had before that I loved and me wishing I had a spoon to scrape up the end of the sauce. Unfortunately the smallish rice and bean servings on both plates were luke warm and tasted so so. . I had similar hotter to those with tv dinners back in the day. The two plates and a coke at $43 has me scratching my chin on whether we will make that drive again. That is unless it is Sunday. Then possibly. .

Whenever I visit a Mexican restaurant, I always set my sights on the carne asada super burrito. The…read morefirst time I tried it at Isla, however, I was completely let down--the meat was bland and the burrito felt stale. After giving it some thought, I decided to return and explore what it was about Isla that everyone raved over. This time around, I ordered the fish tacos, and I was hooked! Isla's fish tacos are phenomenal--easily the best in the area and a must-have every single time. I usually go for the tilapia, though I've sampled the red snapper as well. They come out super crispy on the outside yet remain incredibly moist inside, with the salsa and toppings melding together perfectly. I also visited their new location today and was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and comfortable seating. The space is beautiful, making it even more enjoyable to stop by for those irresistible fish tacos. Here's a quick rundown of my ratings: Fish (all varieties): 8.7/10 Birria: 7/10 (good, but not their standout item) Carne Asada Super Burrito: 5.8/10 When it comes to satisfying my fish taco cravings, Isla remains the only choice.

My wife and I took a lil minute to figure out what we wanted prior to ordering and the cashier showed patience. We settled on burritos. I knocked two stars off because they messed up both of orders and that made me a little upset. They remade my burrito completely over, but they did not for my wife. They just gave her what they forgot on the side. She was not happy about it. She ate it anyway. We both agreed that the burritos were cold.. the meat, rice and beans. However, we were not going to complain again. I decided that I would add it to my review. I enjoyed the salsa and chips bar. All the fixings that you needed were found there and you could take a much as you wanted. Overall, we won't be returning back here. It was not that enjoyable.

I didn't realize I hadn't reviewed this place yet! I love that it's open 24 hrs and the fact that…read moreit maintained its Taco Tuesday for $1/each for so long is definitely commendable! (They did recently have to increase their prices to $1.25 per taco but I really can't complain.) They give chips and salsa if you order something + ask for it and they have fresh lime, radishes, and caramelized onions in the side bar where their chips/salsa used to be set out as a free-for-all. I can't speak to the other foods as much since I always default to tacos here, but I've had their horchata as well and it's very tasty! (The large is very generously sized too!) They do get pretty swamped on Tuesdays so there is often a wait, but they try to keep it a minimum. The indoor seating typically gets filled up pretty quick too on Tuesdays but there's lots of seating outside as well!

This is by far one of the best if not the best Mexican food in the area, if you don't want FLAVOR don't come here because they don't play about seasoning their food and using lime in their guacamole, I swear they're the only restaurant located in concord that actually seasons their food and doesn't burn the chicken! Today I went and there was only one woman working and she had my food ready to go ASAP! The horchata is fire and if you don't like horchata you've definitely never had this one before because this horchata will change your mind! Anyways I love this place I'm going back to my burrito now!! 10/10

I really came on here to say that this restaurant is very much into their community. The cashier not only provided food but also advocated for their customer to get their selves checked at the hospital. They also gave them advice and really helped out this man in their community. This place definitely deserves all the customers in the world, so that they can keep helping their community. It's very rare to see businesses giving back and I will honestly be back spending my money here.
