ISSES - München

This place opened up near me just a couple of weeks ago. I noticed it today as I was walking the dog and, it looked interesting so, fellow Yelper, Abhi and I decided to check it out. The ambience and service here is 5 star. The drinks list is also 5 stars with a nice selection of cocktails, bubbly, tequilas, rums and other drinks. Many of the spirits are from small producers and some made in Germany (a nice local touch . They also have a very small selection of German wine. The menu is right on your table as your mat and, its small with, a nice selection of Mexican inspired foods with a modern twist to some of the dishes. There is a good choice of vegetarian and vegan options if you so choose. I had a chilli cheese fries to start and, I loved it. Made from sweet potato it was crispy, sweet, slightly spicy and flavourful. The only thing missing for me was a bit more heat. The heat levels here suit the German palate but, for me it was not hot enough. I had the 6 hour slow cooked beef burrito which was delicious and the meat was super tender. Again not hot enough for me. We were told later that we could have had it hotter if we so choose (will remember that for next time . For dessert I tasted the only item they have, a chocolate fondant with vanilla Eis and, it was out of this world. For the first time in Germany I have had fondant that actually oozes chocolate when you cut into it....priceless ; It would have been perfect a tiny bit more oozy but this was damn good. The drinks are a bit on the expensive side but, good cocktails generally are. It is a bit more upmarket and the prices reflect that. However, I would happily return here for a cocktail or a meal anytime. A great experience for a place that has been open for less than 2 weeks : P.S. If you are expecting Misson style Mexican, don't. It is not going to be like that at all. However if you are after a nice evening out with some good food cocktails then you will enjoy this place.

Nice atmosphere, cool music, brilliant drinks and most importantly the best Burritos in town. I had a vegan Asian burrito (many other unusual and mouthwatering items in the menu)! Which came beautifully presented with two dips and salad (spicy or mild dressing options were offered, mine was spicy and delicious). As side dish, I ordered sweet potatoes with sour cream, also lovely although next time I will probably go for the chilli cheese version I spied on another table, which made me very jealous! The cocktails were also great. I had a Virgin Rum Smash (detoxing after Xmas) but I'll go with the Margherita next time! Oh, last but not least the staff were super. Friendly, attentive and helpful.

Downright brilliant Mexican styled place with a cool vibe. Food quality is excellent, guacamole is even included in the price of a quesadilla. Try chicken or slow cooked beef options or go wild with deer or hummus burritos. Very good choice of drinks as well, featuring Crew Republic beers in bottles, Augustiner on tap and a wide selection of gins.

Isses kann man wirklich empfehlen. Die Gerichte werden ganz offensichtlich frisch zubereitet ohne irgendwelche Fertigwaren und die Getränke sind sehr lecker. Die Bedienung war auch sehr nett und ist nicht zu wenig und nicht zu oft herum gekommen. Eventuell ist es ein wenig teuer. Aber trotzdem hat sich unser Besuch sehr gelohnt.

In der ehemaligen Blauen Donau kann man nun leckere Burritos, Chili, Salate oder Quesadillas essen.Die Atmosphäre ist in den Kellerräumen zwar dementsprechend dunkel aber dank der Kerzen und der Einrichtung unglaublich gemütlich. Ein Lokal zum versacken :-)Die Preise sind für Münchner Verhältnisse absolut okay. Der Service flink und aufmerksam und dank der hübschen Bedienung hatten wir auch was für's Auge :)Wir kommen wieder!
