    Love Estella! Their tacos are divine and their cocktails are crafted well with interesting flavors and twists. I love the vibe of the bar. It's a beautiful space adorned with luscious plants and beautiful design touches. Service is great even when they are busy. If you go in the summer, they have the best patio out back with comfy seating!

    Mexican ice cream
    Aycell J.

    The place is really good. Pricey, but worth a try. Great tapas, for sure. The Mexican ice cream seems to be homemade for their sauce and has seeds. I thought it was ok, but I'm notninto Mexican hot chocolate. Just wanted to try the ice cream to see what it would be. The corn was good, and you get a hefty serving for the chips and salsa. Good vibe in the winter to hang out with some friends for sure! Staff was super friendly. They were pretty busy still on a Sunday, so just know they are always busy. The estella kitchen is not open for the public, so you enter into the hotel bar and order there. They do have outdoor seating. But I don't think it's open during the winter. Summertime would he nice. Parking is small, so be ready to park on the street. There seems to be plenty of street parking. Just be careful at night as always.

    The street tacos here are just perfect. You walk up and order what you want and they bring it to you as you sit out under the pergola. Everything here is tasty and the salsas are great. A very friendly staff makes the experience so fun. I love the ambiance. You get a great view of the Reno city scape but you feel like you're in a very special serene spot. Just great all around!

    Outdoor night vibe

    Loved their carnitas taco, the steak and the fish. Pass on the mushroom taco. They also have a private parking lot, but you gotta park on the street if it's full.

    If I'm lyin', I'm crying! SF room rates, too

    We sought out Estella for a date night dinner recently, but overall were left a little confused and unimpressed by the whole experience. It started out a sunny day, but the wind picked up and cooled the temp down. WAY down. We headed to what we *thought* was Estella, but found an empty building beside an empty courtyard. To be fair, the outdoor courtyard is GORGEOUS! Probable one of the prettiest oudoor spaces for dining we've come across in the past few years. But...those cold temps meant everything was moved inside, said a sassy pink-haired server. What she meant was, *moved inside The Jesse*, a edge-of-Midtown uppity bar that was packed and BLARING bad live music. We were lucky to grab a 2-top open, but the place is cramped. We were practically rubbing elbows with the people next to us, and narrowly dodged sitting next to a mom with 2 littles...wha?!?! In a loud bar? M'kay, mom, maybe not the greatest choice for kids' dinner? I know this is Midtown hipster norm, but you don't get service here. You have to place your order at the bar, *leave your card with the bartender like you've opened a tab!* and take a number. "Open seating" is code for "you are your own server". The move indoors meant the mediocre music volume was 3x as loud as it needed to be, so good luck conversing with the person across from you. You'd think they'd adjust the volume for the acoustics of the room, but you'd be wrong. The menu is OK but borders on pretentious. Small tacos for $6/ea up to $12/taco! and Vegas prices on drinks, $15/ea. At the end of your meal, you have to go collect your check and pay at the bar. And a tip? You bet they're asking! For what, I'm not sure! No one bothers to check in and see if you want anything else! This place is definitely not our vibe, and at almost $90 for chips & salsa, some tiny tacos & 2 drinks, we'd likely go just about anywhere else next time for tacos. Midtown has just become an overpriced cash-grab IMO. Vegas prices with SF environment! For that price, it would be nice to actually get some level of service and not have to avoid stepping over homeless to get into the place and wondering if your car gets broken into. Oh, and the "hotel" above The Jesse has rates of just the fabulously low price $189/ni for 2ppl midweek for TINY old rooms!!! This place is MADNESS!!!

    Elote

    Came to Estella on a tuesday. We were a little confused on where to go to order food as there really isn't any signs pointing you in any direction. The patio area is super cute though! However, if its not nice enough to sit outside there is little room for seating elsewhere and i can see how it could get cramped inside the Jesse. When we found the building in the back to order from staff was friendly. We ordered chips and guac, elote, 2 carnita tacos, a fish of the day (red snapper), and a smoked oyster mushroom taco. First thing we noticed was how small the guac container was compared to the amount of chips served. Also the tacos themselves were quite small and the size of the tortilla seemed too small for the amount of filling on it. Everything tasted good though I will say some of the items felt like they were a little overpowered some of the flavors with spice(i do not handle spicy too well). So a warning/notice on items that have an extra kick on the menu would have been nice. Overall, the margaritas were very good and the food was okay. But I'd probably just come back for drinks & small bites vs. a full meal due to the size of items and price. We had left still a little hungry after spending $70 for 2 people.

    This food was incredible!!! And since it is winter time you order via The Jesse which truly elevated the experience!!! The lobster and mushroom mushrooms were delicious and a HUGE portion, and the bean tostada was even better- with a hint of a spicy kick. The salsa sampler was also incredible - the table favorite was the yellow corn salsa.

    Housemade Chips with three dipping sauce
    Miranda Y.

    Came here for the second time. The food was tasty. Love the mushroom taco, al pastor taco and the fish taco. They ran out of some beef and shrimp when we ordered (Sunday evening), otherwise I could have told you more about those flavors. The taco shells were thick and fulfilling. The elote was flavorful. The chips were okay. The sauce was lacking flavor. The taco here is on the expensive side. The price you see on the menu is for one taco so keep that in mind. The service here is more like self-service. You order food and drinks at the bar and servers don't really check on you after they deliver your order. There is water that you can grab and take to your table. Our friend was waiting for her ice cream order for the entire night and we checked with the bartender twice. Eventually we got the ice cream. Probably because we had a bigger group, they messed up my order but gave me one extra taco that I didn't order for free. This place is a hotel and restaurant combo. The bar and patio are both cute. In summer time, it would be nice to sit outside.

    Chips and margaritas

    Tacos and drinks were amazing! We ate in the bar which is technically The Jesse Bar. Employees were really nice and helpful.

    The cricket on the side

    Love this place for tacos and cocktails! It's attached to the Jesse hotel - we sat inside the Jesse this time Kuz it was a bit windy but usually the patio is the perfect happy hour spot!! Did a girls night here and loved it - we had the elote which was so yum see pic! Tacos were pretty good I think we should have ordered more tho I got hungry 2 hours later but maybe Kuz the cricket we ate made me lose my appetite at the time All the tacos had great sauce and great taste, u have to try this place it's a great place to take ppl who r visiting Reno!

    Fish Tacos de Mariscos
    Vanessa D.

    Haven't been to Estella in a while so thought we would check it out again! The patio is huge which we loved and is seat yourself. We tried fish taco of the day, chips and salsa, elote, and an Al pastor taco. I definitely appreciated the hand made tortillas! Everything was good but 4 stars for the size of the taco was pretty small and the corn was slightly dry. Overall a good food and service from both Estella and the Jesse! .......the fish taco did say "chipotle crema" but it was spicy AF

    Elisa A.

    One of my favorite places in Reno! My husband and I always order the corn because it's very good. My personal favorite tacos are tacos al pastor but tacos de carnitas are pretty good too. I love they use hand made tortillas for their tacos. Place is modern and they always have good music. I'm Mexican and when I miss my country this is the perfect place to go

    Oaxacan old fashioned
    Liz S.

    Where else in Reno can I get an Elk Chorizo taco?! For me Estella's really unique menu stood out and made for a fun experience right off the bat. I had the smoked oyster mushroom taco and the elk chorizo taco. The mushroom taco had a great depth of flavor, and was somehow light and filling at the same time. The elk chorizo had a great kick and unique flavor, but definitely kind of overtook my palate, so I was glad I ate it second and could appreciate the delicate flavors of the mushroom taco. Plus, handmade tortillas are always a win! The elotes were a great appetizer to share, and the smoke in the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was such a fun surprise! A killer outdoor patio really set the vibe too--it was our first visit but definitely won't be the last!
