" I had high hopes for La Estrellita based on recommendations, but my experience was rather mediocre. The food was decent, though I found the flavors a bit flat compared to what I expect from authentic Mexican food. Our server was polite but seemed overwhelmed, which affected the service speed. The atmosphere was cozy, but a little too dark for my taste. Overall, it was okay but I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Estrellita is comfort food at its finest. The stuffed sopapillas are my new favorite! We had a little wait to get a table, but the staff was diligent with managing the crowd. The generous portion sizes combined with their flavorful dishes make it worth any wait. I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unexpected delight! The green chili was a pleasant surprise, packed with flavor. Service was great, with our waiter giving excellent suggestions. I enjoyed my meal, but wouldn’t say it was purely authentic. Still, it was a good experience overall. I’ll keep it on my list for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to order takeout after hearing wonderful things about La Estrellita. This took far longer than expected and I wasn’t fully satisfied with the price-to-portion ratio. The food was good; however, I feel it would have been better dining in. I'll give it another shot, but I was slightly let down. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance of La Estrellita is delightful, safe for families with kids and lively. The food was freshly made, although I found some of the spices overwhelming. The fish tacos were refreshing, but I would rate them on the milder side. If you're looking for a place that has a busy, fun atmosphere, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my dining experience at La Estrellita was not as expected. While the place itself has a nice vibe, my food was lukewarm at best, and it felt like it had been sitting out too long. The service wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. They were attentive but a bit slow. I'm hoping it was just an off night for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience with just the right amount of spice in their dishes! I can confidently say the chile rellenos are one of the best I've ever had. The environment felt vibrant, and I loved the host's friendly demeanor. My family enjoyed our time here, and we are looking to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
