Every day is a sunshiney day when your server is Monica. Her favorite dishes are Dragon Hash with soyrizo for breakfast and Brian’s Bowl for lunch.
TV puts her to sleep, so when she’s not working, you’ll@find her reading Americana by playing with her dog or supporting

We hired Kristian as a server, but he does it all! He knows the best music and he makes everybody feel welcome. His favorite dish is Dragon Potatoes, but he’s also into anything with carnitas. In his downtime, he’s picked up skateboarding again and he relaxes with reggae. Everybody give it up for Kristian! 👏🏼🌟🏅

So these two guys have been on Team Isabel since the beginning. Meet my two sons, Ryan and Robbie. I first started cooking to take care of them. Now they’re returning the favor, and I’m so thankful for both of them.

Robbie cooks and his favorite dish is the Chicken Burrito with pineapple salsa. He’s been watching the Sopranos, studying HVAC and perfecting his homemade pasta and panko with his fianceé Alisa aka

Ryan is a server and he loves the Bueno Bowl with Chipotle Chicken. He’s been riding his electric unicycle, pondering how to abolish the Fed and eating the pasta his brother makes. 🍝 👬🏽🙏🏽

P.S. I still can’t believe we got both of them to smile at the same time! 😂

How was your brunch? You can thank Junior, one of our terrific trio of cooks on the line. His personal favorite is the Chicken Burrito, but he also loves Dragon Potatoes. While he’s not working during quarantine, he loves listening to Miguel Angel,
spending time with his 3-year-old daughter and playing Xbox.
