" I had an interesting experience at Doña Estela. I ordered the birria burrito, expecting a flavorful dish, but I found it lacking in seasoning. However, my friend loved the tacos and said they were fantastic. The service was a bit off, with a few mix-ups, but they handled it well. So I guess it’s hit or miss with certain items, but I would give it another go. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Doña Estela was overall great, but I wouldn’t say it was flawless. While the tacos were tasty, I found the carne asada a bit bland compared to the rave reviews I had heard. On the brighter side, their burritos are a fantastic size for the price, and the staff was friendly. I’m definitely interested in trying other items on the menu, perhaps the birria tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Doña Estela is a gem! The tacos are flavorful and authentic; they really capture the essence of Mexican street food. My only concern was the wait time during busy hours, but once I tasted the food, all was forgiven. It's casual, fun, and a great spot to grab a late-night bite. I will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Doña Estela has become my go-to taco truck in LA! Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the flavor of the al pastor tacos. The meat is perfectly marinated and cooked on a spit, just like they make it in Mexico. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the ambiance is lively, which just adds to the experience. Highly recommend checking this place out for authentic street food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional tacos! The shrimp tacos definitely live up to the hype. They’re so fresh and paired beautifully with their spicy sauce. I also had the dos tacos plate, which was excellent value for what you get. All in all, a great place to visit for authentic street food! " (*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*)
