See my earlier reviews (June 6, 2014; July 17. 2017; and December 24, 2017) for more details about Isaac and Moishe's.
First of all, currently there is a HUGE amount of outdoor seating. The absolute best use of the two front parking spaces was to convert them into seating at 8 small tables. Add this to the 13 tables on the sidewalk and you have countless ways to reconfigure the alfresco dining area to accommodate any size party.
But wait -- there's more. They did a complete indoor makeover earlier this year and there is now a huge bar and dine-in area that will remind you of their Highland Park location. This section is on your right, and the grocery/deli/produce/juice bar/bakery section is straight ahead.

Had lunch on a Sunday at an outside table during the Highwood Pumpkin Fest. Amazingly flavorful salsa and chips (can't stop eating them). Baja fish tacos (grilled option) also amazing - fish (tilapia) was firm and flavorful. My daughter (12 yrs) absolutely loved the chips, salsa, and beans and rice sides. Chicken Tinga tacos also great with perfect level of spiciness. Large selection of beer and drinks.

This is the kind of place that if there's a parking space, I stop and go inside, whether or not that was my original destination.
part grocery, part deli, part restaurant, part juice bar, part bakery -- there's always a wonderful find.

It was a burrito that did it. Place seems okay, but its not worth it. I won't be back again. But I guess with those prices it is only expected.

I love the casual vibe, great food, and reasonable prices at this six-table deli, located inside a terrific grocery store. A good way to enter the world of Taqueria Isaac and Moshe is to try one or more of the daily specials:
Monday $2.99 burritos
Tuesday $4.99 tortas
Wednesday 99¢ tacos
Thursday 24-piece buffalo wings for $12.99
Friday $2.99 fish tacos
I also recommend their horchata and jamaica drinks. The juice bar is also wonderful.
Order at the counter and take your number to your table. Your food will be delivered to you.. Pay at the register on your way out.

We were at the Pumpkin Festival and stumbled on Isaac & Moishe. For us, is was more about being a Mexican establishment rather than a "Kosher Style" place (i'm quite sure it's not actually "Kosher"--for those not in the know, there's a BIG difference between "Kosher Style" and Kosher)... And from what i can tell, they seem to cater more to the Hispanic crowd rather than the Jewish crowd.
Anyway, we got the full chicken dinner and our boy got the chicken tenders and fries.... We also got the rice, bag of chips and salsa.... The chicken was EXCELLENT (one dinner was enough to feed the 2 of us), the chicken tenders very good, chips were good, but the rice and salsa were so-so.....
We love places like this.... Old-school-----grocery store, deli counter, eating area with tables and chairs, TV, no frills....pretty much what we would've seen back in the olden days..... The only major complaint was the language barrier---our guy didn't seem to have mastered English, so getting basic stuff like an extra plate and silverware was laborious....
But overall, we loved the place and would recommend giving a try.

Have not visited this restaurant for a while. We thought about fajitas and so we went to Isaac and Moishe. Meal started with warm chips and salsa. Yummy. The steak fajitas and the vegetable fajitas were excellent. Plenty of food and very tasty.

Our regular spot for Mexican flavors. Taco Wednesday is a big hit. Ethnic groceries and Freshest meat ,custom cut and "killer" skirt steaks and never frozen chicken breasts with the finest of quality and taste. Visit their Casa's for more formal menus and Floria's (MAMA's) enchiladas con mole. We are Lifers.

This is a Kosher establishment as such it is closed on ALL Jewish holidays. We made the mistake of not looking at TripAdvisor and going on Sukkot. It was closed.

Because they supply their nearby restaurants, everything here is fresh and delicious due to the fast turnover.
This is a grocery store, meat market, juice bar, bakery, deli, Mexican restaurant, ice cream/gelateria, etc. all rolled into one.
I suggest that you reconnoiter the store first to see how many departments and shopping possibilities there are.
All the baked goods and desserts (flan, etc.) are made in house. The dense cheesecake is a real winner!
The juice bar features at least 20 choices -- fairly priced at $3 for the 16 oz. size, and $6 for 32 oz.. I usually order the detox or the green joy, both great!
Horchata and lemonade are available in dispensers near checkout.
For eating in, there is a dining area with a few tables, and a counter with a few stools.
The current special is 99-cent tacos on Wednesday.
The menu is huge.
The deli (and restaurants) are closed for Shabbat (Friday night to Saturday night) and for all Jewish holidays.

We stop at Isaac's every week sometimes several times a week for our lunch and our fresh vegetables and other food supplies. The deli sandwiches are great and the soups especially Mamas Homemade Chicken soup is excellent. They have what you need.

I met Isaac several years ago at his first place La Casa De Isaac (around the corner from the deli). If you haven't had the food you are missing a treat. Isaac is a very passionate person who puts his life into his work and it shows. The deli is great. The meats are top notch, fruits and vegetables are super fresh and he has something for everyone. This place is a hidden gem.
The best kept secret (although it is starting to get out) is the Green Drink. It had a whole bunch of goodness. No juices, just fresh fruits and vegetables. Tasted great and good for you.
