" My experience at La Estrella Mexicana was extraordinary; the street corn was among the best I’ve tasted! The staff was mostly nice, though sometimes they seemed to be overwhelmed during dinner rush. The tacos I had were stuffed generously, which is always a plus! I think it’s a solid choice for anyone wanting to explore true Mexican flavors. Their market downstairs was an added bonus; I picked up some spices for home cooking. I highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lifelong taco enthusiast, I visited La Estrella Mexicana expecting the best, and they didn’t disappoint. The vibrant colors and the lively ambiance set the stage for what was to be an unforgettable meal. I ordered the tortas and they were massive and delicious, filled with fresh ingredients. While the service was friendly, it could be slow at times, especially when they are busy. I plan to take my family there next time; I know they will enjoy the wide variety and authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" After my last visit, I can't rave enough about La Estrella Mexicana! I had the carne tacos, and they were perfectly seasoned with just a hint of spice. They take pride in using fresh ingredients, and it shows through each bite. I also adored their cheerful decor; it truly captures the spirit of Mexico! The only downside was the long wait time during lunchtime, but the food was well worth the wait. Don't skip the paletas for dessert—they are the cherry on top! I look forward to my next meal here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for authentic Mexican food and stumbled upon La Estrella Mexicana. The flavors reminded me of some local roadside taco stands from down south. However, the service was hit-and-miss, and at times, the language barrier made ordering a tad difficult. But the food was so good that I’ll definitely return, as I truly enjoyed their chicken pozole. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Estrella Mexicana is a hidden gem! The tacos are packed with flavor, and you can taste the authenticity in each bite. The staff was friendly and helped me navigate the menu since they have many options that remind me of home. I really appreciated the market downstairs too. However, I had a minor issue with my order being slightly wrong, but they were quick to fix it. All in all, an excellent experience where I felt their passion for Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had to come back after my initial visit, which was great, but my recent experience was less than stellar. Service was slow, and the tacos I received tasted off. It might have been a one-off experience, but I was still disappointed since I had high hopes based on previous visits. Their market offers great Mexican products, so that's a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day, I decided to have lunch at La Estrella Mexicana and ended up ordering a burrito that I was told is a 'must-try'. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations; it mostly consisted of rice with a small amount of meat. However, the salsa was fresh and spicy, which redeemed the meal a bit. I will consider giving them another shot but will try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
