" The hospitality at Estrella Negra is unmatched! I went there on a date night, and the service was impeccable – they made sure we had everything we needed while still allowing for intimate conversation. The food was also wonderfully presented and authentically made. Definitely one of those spots you want to show off to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Estrella Negra multiple times now, and I can honestly say that the quality has remained consistent. The vegan pozole is one of the best I've had anywhere, and I appreciate how inclusive their menu is for different diets. The service is always top-notch. My only complaint would be the portions; they could be a little more generous for the price. Overall, a fantastic spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely amazing dining experience! Estrella Negra not only serves authentic Mexican food, but each plate is a work of art! The attention to detail really makes the food stand out. I tried the elote tamale and was astonished by the flavors and textures. Service was exemplary too - the staff made me feel valued as a customer. Can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Estrella Negra has established itself as a favorite in my dining rotation! The flavors in every dish I've tried have been incredible. I can't get enough of their tamarindo chicken wings—if you're a fan of sweet and spicy, these will blow you away! The only minor issue was that it can get busy, making seating limited at times, but the food tells a story that makes the wait worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)
