If you have not tried La Estrella you are missing out. It’s a cozy little place clean, quite with an impressive bar. We opted for a mid day meal between lunch and dinner when it wasn’t too busy. Drinks and chips arrived quickly. The salsa was surprisjngly sweet and house made, I had half of the bottle we were given. When our main dishes arrived they were beautiful but more importantly the meats were flavorful, moist and hot. Every bite was heaven. Pure perfection. I had tacos and a popusa while my sister enjoyed the Nixto burrito. I will happily return again in the future. Absolutely delicious afternoon adventure.

This is the best place around for Mexican food! The atmosphere was nice with good music. Our server, Leslie, was extremely nice and attentive. Gina was also very kind and helpful. The food was great and tasted fresh. If you want really good salsa, I’d recommend asking for the spicy salsa. The serving sizes were large and priced very well. I will most definitely be coming back.

La Estrella Mexican Restaurant had great servers who were very attentive. I was greeted immediately upon walking in and escorted to a comfortable high back booth. Chips and salsa were included for free. I ordered a quesadilla off the lunch menu. It was pretty bland & the mushrooms came from a can…but I shouldn’t expect much for $8.50. I also had a coke with my meal so it came to $14.68. The restaurant has an A food rating.

You feel welcomed as soon as you step in with warm greeting. This place is very well decorated. Make sure you come hungry because the plates are as tasty as they are massive. The guacamole was fantastic. They also have a full beautiful bar. Service was very attentive, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations.

I am a website photographer/videographer and I did a content shoot for La Estrella. They are top notch when it comes to Mexican food. After getting a behind the scenes look at their kitchen and staff and having tasted the food myself, I can say that they are honestly one of the best if not the best. I will 100% be dining here soon on my own time.
For those curious, I had the pupusas and they were amazing!

Stopped in for a late supper after leaving Prisma hospital. There were only a handful of people there, possibly because it was late. We still had a long drive home, so we decided to go inside and give it a try. So glad we did!! Very yummy! Two different menus to give numerous options, for American Mexican and more authentic options. Pollo fundido was great! My husband tried something different and went with a Mexican- style pork chop, which was also delicious!! Definitely had to get a to go box but so glad we stopped in! Very nice people!! The hot salsa is amazing, very fresh!

La Estrella Lights Up the Neighborhood with Bright Flavors
In a part of town that’s been hungry for a quality sit-down Mexican restaurant, La Estrella arrives with promise—and mostly delivers. I 100% recommend giving it a try before continuing on to Augusta Rd.
The menu is thoughtfully crafted: not overwhelming in size, yet filled with all the right cultural staples. It’s the kind of list that feels intentional rather than thrown together, and that bodes well for a restaurant aiming to strike a balance between tradition and modern appeal.
The chips and salsa came out warm, a small but welcome detail, and were served in modern, clear square bowls that added a contemporary touch to the table. It’s clear the team is leaning into a slightly modern, fresh aesthetic. That said, only one bowl of salsa was brought for a group, and only the mild variety at first. Asking us a question about preferences or spice level would go a long way, and ideally, a second bowl should be standard for larger tables. We didn’t even know there was a spicy option until the waitress mentioned it.
On the food front, flavors hit high notes across the board. The chicken was notably well-prepared + thick, juicy, and seasoned with care. My fajita quesadilla was a satisfying plate, served with rice and beans and filled generously. My wife’s Pollo Fundido came with a twist (could be the norm but I wasn’t expecting it): sautéed mushrooms, a surprise addition that actually worked from my perspective, though it came with rice only and could’ve benefitted from even a small scoop of beans to round out the plate. The biggest letdown was the fajitas, tipped too far in favor of vegetables, with meat making up maybe 20% of the dish. For the price, a better balance would be expected. Also, tortillas were defaulted to corn without asking, so if you have a preference, be sure to clarify flour.
Service was the one area where things needed fine tuning. Our table saw at least four different servers during the meal, and while the first waitress was gracious and welcoming, the bartender who eventually took over brought some awkward energy. He was rearranging our plates to his liking with almost an OCD approach and attempted to clear food without asking. While likely a result of opening-week growing pains and nerves, it did leave the table feeling a little unsettled.
Atmosphere, however, is an area where La Estrella shines. The bar is beautifully stocked and eye-catching, the bright blue ceiling gives the room an airy openness, and the cleanliness was apparent throughout. It feels modern, relaxed, and just upscale enough to stand out without feeling too dressed up. The only real drawback was the table size, very tight quarters for a group of four, so be prepared to cozy up.
All in all, La Estrella shows a lot of potential. Strong flavors, a well-planned space, and clear effort in presentation suggest this could become a neighborhood favorite. A few service kinks and portion missteps aside, there’s plenty of reason to return. I look forward to seeing how this star continues to rise.
Update: went here another time and got the arroz con pollo and it was delicious! The music was so loud it was impossible to talk to one another. Had some trouble with the tables again but still had a decent time.
