" My husband and I were excited to try Estela's based on previous reviews. The food was fresh, but I was disappointed in the size of my burrito compared to expectations. The staff was polite, but the atmosphere felt a little chaotic. Overall, a decent place just maybe not worth the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my first time at Estela's, but this last time was par for the course. The burrito I tried was filled to the brim with fresh ingredients. I love that you can customize to your liking. The only downside was the wait, but it was worth it. Highly recommend their horchata as well! " (*Curated Review*)
