First time today. Wow they were busy had to park behind the movie theater. Im talking full restaurant, more people coming, people going. Very nice place. I ordered 4 street tacos and enchiladas..THANK YOU JESUS. I grew up in oxnard California with some of the best authentic Mexican food anywhere. And this place hit home. Street tacos were stuffed with meat, fresh cilantro and onions..8.5 out of 10. Got 2 asada and 2 pastor. So good. Chicken enchiladas were good as well. But I haven’t had street tacos in 2 years. I will be back a few times a week for sure

I visited Taqueria La Estrella while on a business trip in Mineral Wells after my team chose it for lunch. We arrived after the lunch rush and were seated quickly. Service was friendly, though our waitress seemed very new and still figuring things out.
Chips and salsa came out right away—the chips were a good thickness and great for dipping. The chips were memorable as they were dusted with a nice coat of cayenne seasoning. Salsa had a nice pleasant kick at the end. Very tasty’
Unfortunately, the guacamole was a major disappointment. It was literally just scooped avocado with nothing mixed in—no lime, onion, cilantro, or seasoning. Definitely not what I expected. I was not recommend!
For mains, we had the daily special (crispy taco, enchilada, rice, and beans). It was filling but nothing memorable. A team member ordered the taco salad, which looked okay but also pretty average.
Overall, the place feels authentic and the food is acceptable, but nothing really stood out. With limited restaurant choices in Mineral Wells, it’ll do if you’re craving Mexican food, to be fair I would really need to try this place for dinner because the menu does look appetizing.

LOVE it here! They actually have Horchata! I am originally from Las Vegas, though I have lived all over, BUT I missed having authentic Mexican food from the Southwest states … but this place does a great job! They have a little bit of something for everyone and are always so nice and helpful! Definitely recommend!!

I really dislike leaving one-star reviews, but I want to share my honest experience in hopes it helps.
The salsa and chips were so salty we couldn’t eat them. I ordered the street tacos—two chicken and two steak. The chicken had very little flavor, though the cilantro and onions helped make them somewhat enjoyable. The steak tacos, unfortunately, were full of gristle and not edible. So, I essentially paid over $16 for two tiny tacos.
I was also surprised to be charged $0.50 for limes. Shouldn’t limes come with tacos? The waitress was very nice, but the food took a long time to arrive. On top of that, the ceiling fans were blasting, making everyone’s food cold. When I asked if they could turn them down, I was told they’re all connected—definitely not ideal.
This is a small-town country restaurant, and I truly wish them well. I hope they take this as constructive feedback because the town is growing. If they don’t bring in a professional chef and staff, I worry they won’t make it—but I sincerely hope they do! They have lots of potential.

Wow. This is a hidden gem! We are staying locally at lake mineral wells state park and I had a craving for Mexican. This place doesn’t disappoint. Everything was delicious. I had the pain killer- so refreshing! Hubby had a delicious margarita! The chips with the chips and salsa come out warm! We shared the beef fajitas and the meat melted in our mouth. Definitely try this place if you haven’t. You won’t be disappointed!
