“Easily the best Mexican place in town. I've been coming here for years and the quality of the food and the service has never faltered, even during the pandemic. The staff are incredibly nice and work hard to make sure you have a great time. Food is delicious and authentic for the price. Great place for parties and large groups as well, for any occasion! Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some good food

Parking: Go slow in the parking lot as it's usually busy around dinner time. The lines are hard to see so take your time finding a spot“

“Food was consistent with that of other locations; delicious. Ordered the carne asada burrito.The restaurant was clean and the customer service was excellent.Visited on 2/19/24 to have the burritos I purchased on 1/16/24 rewrapped, they had fallen apart when I got home. The staff was friendly, kind and understanding. The food as always, delicious. I wish I could given then 10*.

Parking: Plenty of spots.“

“my family ordered lunch from Isabel's to eat at home, but weve also stopped by in person to eat little snacks. so many food options on their menu and its all delicious, and I have a restrictive diet, but I still can eat many options. also, the hot chocolate, if you arent a big fan of Mexican hot chocolate, you can get a cup and mix it with american hot chocolate at home and it becomes incredibly delicious. idk, thats what I do when I get hot chocolate. I like trying to go to Isabel's when I can, theyre nice people and cool“

“We ordered and picked up. We had ordered from them years ago and were not that impressed. We'd heard that they had stepped up their game and decided to give it a try. Ordered nachos and my husband ordered a combo platter. I thought it was pretty good! Still not as good as Mexican food in the Bronx, but we'll definitely order from them again.“

“Had breakfast here today for the first time. The guys were very friendly and the food was excellent. I will be back!“

The tortillas have a chokehold on me. They're so soft and light.
The vegetarian options are excellent. I love the black bean tacos.
They even have a soft+hard double shell option, which is fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Black bean and roasted veggie options for tacos, burritos, and rice bowls.“

“Wow.... how have I never been here before. I pass it all the time. I have to say, from the outside, it's not very inviting. Maybe they could use more windows so you can tell of they are open or not. I was going to Madison deli on the street, but decided to pop inside Paraiso instead. So glad! Ordered a shrimp quesadilla, not in the menu, but most places I've found are accommodating. I got the meal, which comes with rice and beans. I was gonna get a side of guacamole, but at $7, it was too rich for my blood. Figured I'd just enjoy what came with the meal. The inside is clean, quiet, you're not right on top of the next table. I was getting mine to go, but they are offering dining in. My plate came to 17.50. Got home. Cracked it open. A very decent portion. Heavy! I like that when I spend a lot! The quesadilla was on. The. Money! Fresh, ample shrimp. Gooey cheese. The rice and beans was tasty and fresh! Perfect texture of beans. And a fresh salad on the side with a sliced avocado. I was disappointed there was no guacamole, or even sour cream. Luckily I had my own dollop of daisy to add but I'll sadly have to try the guac another day. Either way im writing this F-U-L-L. I'll be back!“

“This restaurant is definitely one of the finest place in the neighborhood. Every time I visit this place I am profoundly happy. They keep their high level service and the topmost level of dishes they provide. You no doubt will love this place. Warmly recommended.“

“This has very quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I loved it so much I had to bring my family and bought extra for friends to try, up to yesterday they’ve called me to ask what to order.

The atmosphere is open and warm, and the customer service is excellent! I truly love this place and plan to frequent it often. Thank you to the amazing staff for making us feel so welcomed when we came by.“

“Amazing and tasty food! The pizza is to die for! I highly recommend it!!“

“I've been a customer for over 10 years, and both their Italian, and Mexican food is excellent. The delivery workers, Chefs, and employees who take the orders on the phone are very kind, hard working, and talented. Just want to thank them, and give them the recognition they deserve. Having worked in the F&B industry for over 20 years in NYC, I appreciate a place like this on nights when I'm too lazy to cook.“

“Four adults on a long road trip heading back to New England. We get off the highway and make our way to the diner for a midday meal. we were all super impressed with quality, quantity, cleanliness, customer service, price, and coffee! We all highly recommend you visit and enjoy,, and if ever given the opportunity we will definitely stop again! We thank you for the wonderful hospitality!“
