Isalita Cantina Mexicana

"Guess what? The Mani Osteria crew is good at more than just pizza. Isalita is their Mexican cantina directly next door, and while the cuisine is different, the quality of food is just as good. Go nuts on Mexican food at one of the best new restaurants in Ann Arbor. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Isalita is the neighboring sibling to the popular Italian eatery Mani Osteria. Isalita features tacos filled with proteins like chicken tinga with crema and radish, carnitas with salsa verde, or rock shrimp and spicy aioli; tuna tostadas; quesadillas filled with pork shoulder and grilled pineapple; and a variety of margaritas and cocktails." - John Reyes

"Paying tribute to Mexico City markets, this sister eatery to Mani Osteria has an incredible selection of modern Mexican food that's designed for sharing." - Monica Williams

"Isalita’s elevated ode to Mexican street food features over a dozen tacos and quesadillas that are best shared. With a large group, that means everyone can sample a little bit of everything. The restaurant’s basement table seats 10 and is a great spot for a large group to escape the crowd." - John Reyes

"This colorful Mexican cantina serves an extensive list of drinks including red sangria, served by the glass or in pitcher. The glasses are half-off during happy hour." - Alexandra Schmidt
