I’ve been going to this restaurant since I was a kid. I literally have a fear of them ever closing permanently. There’s so much nostalgia and happiness I get from going here and getting my favorites. I’m just so happy that they are still here and the food always tastes consistent to me. They are really connected with the community and I always love telling my friends, co-workers and clients about how great the food is here. Hands down best Jamaican beef patty anywhere, in my humble opinion. No one makes it like them. I always love their rice and beans and there fried chicken. Beef stew is also very yummy. The staff are so amazing and always friendly. You just have to keep going back. I hope everyone get to experience this wonderful family owned restaurant.
Great food find in Cambridge! Great service... everyone who came in for takeout is received by a homey staff who know the orders, make suggestions, and welcome all! This place is a celebration of Caribbean food with a Puertorican flare.
Food was bland and tasteless. They were so friendly that they get a star for that and their deserts were not too bad. Pastelitos we’re just meat and cheese. Their plate of food was a container of soggy tasteless rice with the same tasting chicken. The worst part was the CANNED beans they use and the soggy iceberg lettuce. I wanted to like this place because they were super friendly but the Puerto Rican food is not even close to what it’s suppose to be, might have been a bad day for them as I know running a business has bad days but sucks I had to be the one to loose out.
I almost got a speeding ticket trying to get there before they closed that’s how delicious they are!!!
Good spot for Puerto Rican food!!
Been going to Izzy's since I was in high school, it's always a good time there, it tend to pack up between noon and 1pm since it's lunch time for everyone, so it could get frustrating if you want to be in and out quick. But other than that, awesome place, awesome food, awesome people!
Holy $&*%, this place is SO good. Really excellent food and portion sizes and extremely friendly service for an incredibly low price. I am in awe, I can't wait to show my other friend this place once he gets back from the UK (he's in quarantine due to COVID exposure currently... L). And so basically I got takeout here while me and my friend/roommate were helping my other friend/roommate move in to my place. And this was EXACTLY what we needed for the moment; it hit the spot. Solid 5/5.
Great taste and good value. I got the steak and plantains. Will definitely be coming back.
I love this place have been going there for years. The fried pork and sweet plantain!!!!❤? The people there are so nice. Food is amazing and I love the hot sauce they have?????
I've been going to Izzies for more than 20 years. I absolutely LOVE this place. Authentic Puerto Rican food plus he has everything else that we all like. Tiny place with a huge amount of character. I has been visited through the years by a lot of celebrities including major league players, politicians and artists.Pay Izzy a visit and tell him that Carlos sent you! He's the man!

Great food! Try anything in the case, esp chicken and cheese empanadas.
I eat here like 4 times a week because it is so good
Only thing better than the food is the service that is provided by the employees. ??
The food was excellent fresh and hot and portions were large enough for 2 people and for the price can't beat it.
I come from Lawrence to eat over there one of the best ever real great food..??
