" A decent experience, but nothing to write home about. My carne asada burrito was very average, lacked the seasoning I prefer. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed during busy hours. I will give them another try soon. I have to admit, the handmade tortillas were a nice touch! " (*Curated Review*)

" To say that my experience at Izzy's was perfect would be an understatement. I tried their menudo for the first time, and it was incredible! Creamy, savory, and just the right amount of spice; it was delicious. Additionally, I loved the handmade tortillas. It's clearly a labor of love as you can see the kitchen staff working hard throughout your meal. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic cuisine. I'm definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Izzy's might not have the best decor, but the food compensates for it. The salsa was fresh and flavorful—the pico de gallo has a zing that I crave often. The beans were creamy, and the tacos had generous portions of meat. The service was prompt, and I always leave satisfied. For anyone looking for authentic flavors, look no further. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Izzy's Cafe and was blown away by the authentic Mexican flavors. The enchiladas were a standout, bursting with rich, homemade sauce, just like my abuela used to make. The service was quick, and you can really sense the family vibe as they treat you like one of their own. Although the ambiance is a bit worn down, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is easily one of the best Mexican spots I've discovered. The menudo was incredible, not greasy at all, and full of flavor. I appreciated the handmade tortillas that came alongside—they truly elevated the dish. The atmosphere is more like a home than a restaurant, which I loved, though it could use a makeover. The service was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Do yourself a favor and visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Izzy's is cozy, but the food did not meet my expectations. The salsa was lackluster, and I found the enchiladas could have used a bit more spice and flavor. However, service was friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I might try the tacos next time, as I've heard good things about them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite spot after my last visit. The food was oilier than I recalled, and some items were undercooked. Despite the nice service, I left feeling disappointed. I hope they can resolve these issues because I really wanted to love this place based on prior visits. " (*Curated Review*)
