" Had high expectations for Doña Estela after all the hype, but I found the tacos just okay. They were fresh, but lacked that standout flavor I was hoping for, especially compared to other food trucks. The environment felt a bit cramped as well. I might return to try a different item in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a love-hate relationship with Doña Estela. The tacos are phenomenal—their spice levels and sautéed veggies are a game-changer! However, I had a really awkward interaction with a waiter once, which kind of soured my experience. I will still go back for the food because it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Doña Estela after hearing so much about it. I opted for their California burrito, which was packed with ingredients. While it was delicious, I found it a bit heavy and greasy for my taste. The service was friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would still try other tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a late-night snack, Doña Estela is definitely the place to go! I visited after a night out, and the tacos were the perfect remedy. The shrimp tacos were crispy and delicious, paired with their house-made salsa. The staff was friendly and seemed to genuinely care about customers. I look forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Doña Estela has captured my heart (and my stomach) with their tacos! The flavors are bold and truly authentic. I tried their mole tacos, and I can confidently say they could rival any sit-down restaurant! The ambiance is fun, and I love the energy of the place, especially during the late-night crowd. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Doña Estela. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, but I found the atmosphere a bit too chaotic for my liking. It was also a little pricier than other taco trucks I’ve visited. While the food was good, I think I might explore other options next time around. Still, I appreciate their effort towards quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Doña Estela is one of the taco trucks I keep coming back to whenever I’m in LA! The al pastor tacos are legendary; they always hit the spot. I've also tried the burritos, which are hefty and filling. On weekends, it can get a bit chaotic, but the staff handles the rush well. The flavors are on point, and the ingredients taste fresh, so it’s definitely worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
