La Casa de Isaac & Moishe Restaurant

Great margaritas

Pretty good!!  If I could I would go with a 3 1/2...for this area its about the best your going to get when it comes to traditional mexican but definately far from the best Mexican I have had (it being my favorite type of food i have eaten at ALOT of places). I got the Fajitas which they made using pam instead of butter or oil (at my request) which most places wont do so that made me very happy!  The beans were great.  The salsa tasted a little too sweet and like they used canned tomato sauce.  My cousins with me got the Portabella mushroom quesadilla, the chicken with green peppers quesadilla and the Chicken taco salad.  They were HUGE portions and delishous.  We all left satisfied.  If I'm craving mexican again and am in this area this restraunt or La Casa De Isaac would be my choice but I won't be making a special tryip.

I go to the North Shore about as often as I watch the Lifetime Network, (occasionally I enjoy a good cry and ice cream night) so I had no idea what to expect about any restaurant in Highland Park...let alone a Mexican one. This place was actually pretty darn good though.

The complimentary chips and salsa were the most memorable with some seriously spicy red sauce. If I lived closer I could definitely see grabbing a few beers and filling up on these alone. The main courses were tasty as well with lots of fish taco options. I had the salmon mole ones which we're excellent although a bit pricey for the portion.

Overall it was much better than I expected for a Mexican meal in the burbs. If you find yourself up in this neck of the woods it's worth a stop in.
