We have been longtime customers. Yesterday we decided to have lunch. My husband ordered a Wet Burrito and I ordered the alacarte Flauntas. I had Margarita. The waiter asked if we wanted more chips and we said yes. Our bill was $47.00. We checked the bill. We were charged +$2.50 for the extra chips and +$3.00 for the Wet Burrito 🤔. We did ask to clarify why and were told "Because you ordered a Wet Burrito." After the waiter left my husband said to me "they charged for the sauce to make a wet burrito a wet wet burrito!"🤔 IF we ever decide to return we will read the menu for clarifications & ask more questions before we order!

I think your experience will depend on what you order. The taco Tuesday tacos were larger than I expected, so that was good. Plenty of meat in the 3 I tried. They were very dry though. Needed salsa or some kind of sauce. 3 would have taken maybe 2 of the bowls that come with the chips. The chips were good. Also had a lunch special wet burrito, which was tasty and large enough even though it was a "small". The drinks were reasonable price and the beer list was decent. One gripe was the sour cream. It was $2 on the menu, was extra and didn't come with either item. Then the bill had it as $3, which is barely less than the taco, lol. It was a small size also.

Did not bring much of an appetite with me when I had come here for the first time. The flautas were fluffy and crispy; flavored very well. Happy Hour is a must here if you’re nearby.

We have been going to Esther's for about 4 years. It's not our favorite Mexican food restaurant but it's not bad by any means. They definitely have their own unique style of food. The tortilla chips are thicker than most places and they always serve two types of salsa with them. The service is good and the staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable.

Beware of shrinkflation at this location, portions are going down, prices are staying or rising and sides/dips that once came with dishes are now additional charge. Been coming for a while as its local and tasty, wont be returning after tonight.

My family has been coming here for almost 20 years. We know many of the servers and usually have great service. We’ve had Laura 4 times now and it ruins our meal every time. She rarely checks on us we usually have to track her down or get someone else to help us. If the food wasn’t so good she would cause Esther’s to lose a customer. When we come back we will make sure to never sit in her section again. The food is always fantastic, I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and I’m never disappointed.

I think most of the positive reviews must be from regulars. The food here is mediocre, at best, although the thick chips are a nice thing and portions are larger than most. I have also had the common issue where some menu items can be runny. The service is very inconsistent. Sometimes you get good service, other times you can't get the waitresses attention as she's hanging out in the bar talking to regulars. The restaurant itself isn't particularly clean. So many better options out there.

amigos, these are not the tacos that you are looking for. I had to add the table salsa to give this $7+ taco some flavor, though, the server in the bar area was nice.

I am so sorry to be saying this but this was possibly the worst and most unappetizing Mexican food we have eaten in the entire country and for SoCal...i.dont even want to say anything. Flavor less burritos. Meat not too fresh and tough, watery sauce and so bad that despite adding Trader Joes sauce and Jalepenos it was inedible. It really hurt to have spent 32$ for 2 burritos. How do they even have 4 1/2 stars ? I apologize but it was too disappointing to not mention anything.

My wife ate there with a friend and brought home food for me and my son. He ordered tacos, no cheese. Just meat, onions and cilantro and green salsa on the side. The tacos were loaded with cheese and also had a ton of lettuce. I ordered a chicken fajita burrito. A fajita chicken burrito is a large flour tortilla wrapped around a filling of grilled or roasted chicken, sautéed bell peppers and onions, rice, beans, cheese, and often sour cream or guacamole. Theirs had no vegetables, rice, sour cream or guacamole. I would never go here again.

The server was rude once I mentioned it was a to go order. She handed our meals rudely and even caused our salsa to tip over and spill all over the table. She gave one of our receipts with a response we could not understand and left. Came back when she felt like it and explained horribly what she should have patiently told us in the first place. Horribly server. My work crew i brought with me were special needs adults and she was just mean.

Ordered jalapeno poppers and a Chile relleno. The cheese in the poppers were like water. The chili relleno was in some brown liquid, the chili looked like sad shrivelled up spinach. Notaste and looked like vomit. The waitress then laughed when I gave feedback and said I wanted to return it.
