What:Isabella’s Restaurant Where:700 S Winchester Blvd,San Jose, CA 95128
Yelp Rating:3 1/2 star Categories:Latin American, Peruvian
Isabellas is a casual restaurant, you wont find any fine china in here.The layout of the restaurant resembles a fast food joint with patio furniture spread throughout the dinning room, however you can definitely find some exotic options over here. Baby cow heats anyone? Yum!
The menu at Isabella’s features chicken,beef and various seafood. The restaurant offers several Latin American sodas, one of them being Inca Kola. Although it has what sounds like cola in the name of the drink, it is anything but cola. The drink is yellow in color, carbonated and has a very distinct taste with a strong after taste of artificial flavorings. It almost reminds me of the banana flavored laffy taffy candy.
I went with the Cou Cou de Mariscos, the menu described it as Peruvian style seafood. Once my dish arrived it had the following on it: small portion of rice in the center, mussels, calamari rings,and small chunks of potatoes, and various cooked vegetables. The sauce was very dark, almost like watery mud but very flavorful and delicious.
The price point is about $15-20 per person, although the portion appears to be on the larger side I don’t think its enough to feed two people.
In my opinion for the price you can get better and fresher food elsewhere.However if you are in the mood for something different you can treat yourself to a veal or baby cow hearts and top it all off with flan for dessert .
