Isabel's

On the last Sunday of every month, Isabel’s takes over the kitchen at Tâm Tâm and gives us a day of vegan magic. All it takes is a textured vegetable protein and a no-skips Latin playlist to transform the Vietnamese restaurant into a plant-based Tex-Mex party. A table of two won’t have any issue ordering the entire menu (which changes often). If they have it, get the barbacoa. Slightly sweet and creamy mole is the base for a mountain of soy protein that has a delightfully bouncy texture. Finish off with one of their desserts, which will most likely include an imaginative cheesecake—like one with a thin layer of gelatinous chamoy. Reservations are announced on their Instagram a week before the last Sunday of every month, so be on the lookout for that.
