" I came here for breakfast burritos after hearing so much hype, and I must say, they lived up to it! The breakfast burrito was massive, filled to the brim with fresh ingredients, and I especially loved that I could customize it. The staff were all super friendly and the ambiance was nice for a casual meal. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally stopped by Estela's and I can confidently say it's my new favorite! The flavors are amazing and the freshness really shines through. I had a burrito and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious! Staff was quick and engaging. If you haven't tried the breakfast menu yet, you're missing out. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first heard about Estela's from a friend and was eager to try it. The first bite of my burrito was a revelation—the ingredients genuinely tasted fresh and each wrap had a delightful flavor! I was amazed by the portion sizes, too. It’s a great place for those who want affordable meals that don’t skimp on quality. Definitely thinking about going again next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chicken tacos and wasn’t very impressed. The meat had a bland taste, and despite the friendly service, I expected more warmth from my meal. The ambiance could use some improvement as well. I might come back to try a different dish, but it wasn’t the best experience. Let’s hope it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Estela's for lunch recently and was met with a lively environment! The burrito I got was decent but could have had more flavor in the meat. The service was outstanding, very friendly and quick! The prices are reasonable for the size of the portions so I might come back for another shot. " (*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*)

" Just got back from Estela’s, and wow, what a meal! I had the breakfast burrito, and it was huge and delicious! The staff were friendly and prompt in service. It was a busy time, yet they managed to keep everything running smoothly. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)
