Taqueria La Estrella Los Angeles Reviews
The best big carne asada, pastor and cabeza tacos for only $2 each. Can't beat that price nowadays. Burritos are also very good and gigantic for under $10 bucks.
The food here is so delicious, I tried the tacos and burritos, the tripas are crispy, the cabeza is so flavorful and juicy, the lengua was tender, so far everything I've had here is the best tacos and burritos ive ever had. I keep going back to try something new and I'm never disappointed.
Excellent, white boys looking for a good spot this is one.
Full Size Corn Tortilla Tacos 🌮 for Only $2.00 You'll Keep Coming Back For More...
Real hole in the wall con mucho corazón. In my opinion the best Tacos in East LA
Small, quaint restaurant where only locals come. I'm from San Diego but my cousin grew up in this neighborhood, so we would come to eat here. Great food
Been coming to this place for 35 years its good food and friendly employees
La Estrella is hands down one of the best places to grab a quick bite in Boyle Heights. The carne asada tacos are absolutely delicious, and the salsas are on point. The staff is super friendly and gives off such a welcoming vibe. I love the casual, no-frills atmosphere here. Great spot for authentic Mexican food without the touristy prices
I’ve been coming here since I was 5yrs old with my parents and this spot may not look all flashy but the food here is always a 10 out of 10! Bomb
Been coming here for a very long time. When I was young I used to come at night to the truck that would be outside. Apples are always good and large tortillas. Prices are decent. Must at least 12 hours
Always so yummy...love this lil hole in the wall. Try the Carne Asada Sopes!!!
Great tasty tacos and nice people working here.
The best tacos in East L.A. We used to come after dancing all night at the Clubs. Reasonably priced great flavors. The Sopes are my favorite. 😊👍
Great Mexican food, always fresh and tasty. My chilaquiles plate was awesome.
Finest taco truck on Earth. God eats tacos al pastor here. Only $1.50 for a fat taco, no skimpy stuff here. Worth the 54 mile one-way drive.
If you want real Mexican and affordable tacos and burritos,this is the spot. Friendly,good service. I bought my sweetheart from Seattle for the first time in LA,he tried these and wanted these tacos only. Highly suggest this place. Thank you La Estrella and staff.
Great hole in the wall! Delicious Tacos, Sopes, Burritos, Menudo, and Pozole! Dine in service is not always friendly nor timely. But food is worth coming back to.
Decently priced solid quality food but the wait time can be long sometimes their tacos are huge
I've always bought there tacos and sopes which are good. But having to wait around til they notice you. Not Cool!
Food was great. Place was full when I got there. We had to claim the table since there was no one assigning seats. We sat down, people burly left so it wasn't clean. The lady came took the plates, left a wet rag. I cleaned the table myself. She came back and took our order. Food came in quick. There's loud music playing and the space is small. It's no Dennys but the food is A1
We only go there for the food. Service is meh. Dine in area is so small so not ideal if you want to eat there. Otherwise, food is so good.
I had a burrito pastor, it was good size, plenty flavorful and affordable, good for a small quick lunch.
