This is the closest to back home style (Baja California border) food I've had east of New Mexico. The folks are friendly and the food is delicious. Vegetarian and vegan options available. There's a nice market inside for hard-to-find Latin American foods.
Do you love authentic tacos? If so, this is your spot. Simple, delicious food. The location isn’t much to look at but most of the best places I’ve ever eaten were little hole in the wall type spots. This is no different. Good, hard working people cooking great food and bringing culture to a sleepy southern town. Give them your dollars. ????
Excellent food. If you’re a person that appreciates detail to flavor as opposed…most everywhere. Folks the food is amazing.
This is a hidden gem! Authentic Mexican! Incredible taste, service, quality & price. The best Mexican that I’ve ever had. It’s so great that I drive almost 90 min to eat there!
Tacos where extremely greasy. My husband can usually eat so many tacos he barely made it through 2. Horchata was the worse I've had. Only good thing about our large bill was the margarita. I would only recommend for margaritas
After hearing the wonderful reviews from friends and coworkers, my wife and I decided to give this place a try! From the moment we walked in we were greeted and made to feel like we were with friends! The hostess was incredibly helpful and kind! After giving our order, our food was delivered within minutes of sitting down! My only regret was not taking a picture of our meal before we ate! Everything was fantastic! The homemade tortilla chips with queso were top notch and the salsa was equally as amazing! However, what stole the show were the plates of authentic Mexican street tacos we both devoured! We tried several of the different meats, and while they were all great, our favorite was the Al Pastor! I think I speak for both of us when I say that we've found our new favorite Mexican restaurant in Hickory!10/10, We will definitely be back again!(Next time, I'll try to snap a picture before the food is all gone)Edit* We went back the other day and got a picture! The food was just as amazing as we remembered it! :)
Delicious food. Staff vegan-knowledgeable and vegetarian-knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. I believe the owner's daughter helped me. I see her as a potential future diplomat. Outdoor dining is festive and spacious. We will come again when passing through Hickory.
Always get the guacamole because it is by far the best you can find (the chips are unique and delicious too). Highly recommend the sopes and flan, but there is no dish on the menu that isn’t fantastic. The owners make a difference because they CARE and it shows.
Amazing vegan options! The menu itself does not specify all vegan options, only a few, but we were told when ordering that any menu item could be made vegan. Be sure to ask if an item is fried (like the Chimichanga) if cross contamination if an issue.All around helpful, polite, and informed staff and servers, delicious authentic food, and awesome prices. Me and my wife visited from Charlotte due to being recommended by a friend, and the food was so good we haven't stopped talking about it since. Good, authentic Mexican food made vegan is very rare, and Isabelas hit the mark with their options! I got the Torta Vegana (plant based beef, vegan cheese, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo on a Bolillo roll) and was so full I had to bring the other half home. Ave that was after sharing a few bites with my wife! Their house made tortilla chips are delicious, but not fully vegan due to being fried in the same fryer as all of their meat items. Fortunately for us, this was not a deal breaker and we indulged ourselves! Our server, I believe her name was Vanessa, was super helpful and seemed genuinely eager and excited to tell us all they had to offer in the way of plant based options. The chefs even allowed us to try their now vegan chorizo and it was amazing!Definitely a hidden gem that we will be returning to as often as possible! Thank you all so much for the hospitality and truly amazing food!
My kiddo and I tried Las Isabella's this evening and wow, we were not disappointed! As a vegan it is hard to find options in Hickory. Las Isabella's is filling a void in that area with so many delicious vegan options. Actually their whole menu can be made vegan. They have vegan meat and cheez and are looking into adding vegan chik'n and vegan sour cream! It was all delicious. Always get the fresh homemade chips and pico. All vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. When you order just tell them you are vegan! I asked if any of the desserts were vegan and she said not yet but they are working on getting some vegan desserts on the menu! Everyone was super nice! Everything was fresh and oh so good!! My favorite thing was the sope and the chips and pico. We also got the torta and quesadilla. Enough for several meals. I will be trying the mango margarita next time for sure!
