Estrella Azul - Yum!!! - Mexican Near Me - Englishtown, New Jersey

If you're ever in a bad mood just come here and enjoy a meal. The employees here are probably the nicest people I've ever encountered in this town, and this is not a one off thing. Every single time I've been here the service here is always exceptionally friendly. Even when I ordered on Cinco de Mayo (against my better judgement) when they were slammed with orders and a bit behind on times the employees here are so nice that not one customer was getting mad. They worked their butts off to keep everyone happy and get everyone their orders as fast as they could. The service alone is 5 stars but then you get your meal. Everything is fresh, delicious and prepared well. Highly recommend stopping in. If it's a nice day grab a table outside. read more

This is a great local place we found. The service was excellent from start to finish. The place is done super cute and modernized. The tacos we ordered were really great, fresh, and full of flavor. The chips were also really nice & fresh. The chicken taco was my fave. Guac was done perfectly. Would love to see some desserts on the menu one day. Will be back to try more! read more

Great food and the delivery was 30 minutes. Authentic Mexican food. And not expensive

The tacos here are really tasty! I ordered three tacos off their summer specials blackened cod, caulifluego, and a purple rain taco. They were very good! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the cod one tasted a bit off. The purple rain taco was my favorite one which consisted of birria meat, pickled red onions, chili mayo, and cilantro. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I recommend Estella Azul in Manalapan! read more

I've been wanting to give this place a try for a while but I keep forgetting about it. We decided to come here one evening after work. Daughter had the Chorizo basic burrito bowl, which is spicy Mexican sausage in a burrito bowl with rice, beans, onions and cilantro. You can also choose to have it on a flour tortilla as well. She said that she liked it and thought it was ok. Hubs had the Taco Trio in which you can choose 3 proteins. He chose al pastor, carne asada and camaron. He thought it was good and that the ingredients were fresh. However, keep in mind that if based on which tacos you choose, there is a slight uncharge based on the protein. It was written in small words and he didn't expect that. Lastly, I had the Pescado Banging Burrito, which is fried cod, spicy cabbage slaw, and chili lime mayo. I liked it and thought it was ok, also. We also ordered the elote salad and thought it was pretty good. Service was friendly and quick. Will return and try other items on the menu. read more

Great local spot for fast, great-tasting Mexican. The manager and other employees are super friendly and welcome your business. Same owners as Mezza Luna next door so you know you're going to get a quality meal. I enjoyed a delicious burrito bowl with fresh guac and salsa sides and my husband enjoyed the crane asada street tacos. We'll definitely be back. Welcome to the neighborhood, Estrella Azul! read more

Very tasty very rilable - best birria tacos in Manalapan for sure - we normally take out

Great spot for afternoon tacos! We visited Estrella Azul for lunch the other day. The staff is very welcoming and kind, and the tacos are very delicious. We placed two orders of the taco trios including: shrimp,cod, chorizo, birria, and steak. The chorizo tacos were my favorite- perfectly seasoned with a nice spice. The birria were my husband's favorite. All of the other tacos were ordinary- nothing exceptional, but still fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to have our favorites and try some burritos and other items on the menu! I like how there is both indoor and outdoor seating! read more

Birria tacos !!!!! This place has the best Birria tacos in the area. Hands-down. And they know exactly what they're doing. And it's super consistent. Whoever's making tacos and the rest of the taco lovers out there Should try this. They have other great things too, but I am partial . Highly recommended. read more

Don't let this small place fool you. These Quesadillas are packed with flavors. I love that you can customize them, too. I always get the el pastor with cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. Also, the honey sriracha shrimp is a game charger. If you are in Manalapan and need to grab a quick meal, this is it right here. You'll thank me later. read more

Estrella Azul - Birria Tacos (3) - Mexican Near Me - Englishtown, New Jersey

Did the taco trio 2 times, so I tried 6 tacos. I found the meat on just about everything very dry, so these were not the best. The best one I tried was the hulk, which has a sauce on it to really help out the dryness. Seriously, even the el pastor tacos were dry... how do you get dry pineapple? The hot sauce was HOT, which I loved, and the guac was amazing. I just wish the tacos tasted better. read more

I wanted to like this place as I love tacos and it's less than five minutes away; however, the food is completely tasteless. The chicken is dark meat, which can be good but has an overpowering flavor that only a marinade fixes.. without that marinade, it is not good. I tried the steak tacos and again, no flavor. My final taco was Chorizo and was super oily. My husband and son did not enjoy the americano bowls as they said there wasn't any seasoning. Even the guacamole was very bland. I gave two stars because the food looked nice but we will not return here. I want to just update this that the manager reached out to me and apologized for the poor experience. He also credited my meal. I think that is a great way to run a business and I'm hopeful they add some flavor to their food so we can give them another try. read more

Ordered Birria Tacos and chips and queso for dinner tonight. Heard they have the best Burria tacos. Absolutely horrible. The consommé had 0 flavor. The tacos were soggy and cold. The queso was not good either. Expensive waste of a meal. read more

Great food with humongous portions so bring your appetite plus I got exactly what was ordered which is a bonus these days. Not a fan of the mild salsa because of too much cilantro but that won't stop me from coming back. read more

One of the best tacos in town! This is a must try if you're a Taco lover! Everyone there is super friendly.

Mike the Mayor!!! I only come here when Mike is here! He's a living legend and his customer service is unmatched. He knows my order by memory!! Give this guy a seat on the NJ house of senate and let him marry your daughters! He's a winner and his attitude is why this place is so good. His infectious charisma permeates to the cooks and overall staff who strive to make excellent food in honor of Mike the Mayor!!! Mike leads by example and he always keep a smile on his face no matter the situation! To the Owners, you must pay this man whatever he wants cause without him there is no Estrella Azul! If you don't pay him at least six figures, then someone else will! read more

Good tacos except the one tortilla will rip if the contents are too juicy. The guac is tasty. Friendly staff.

Been coming here since they first opened, Same guy at the front always greeting me with a smile. Same as the other staff I've seen. Always feel happy when I'm there. As for the food the price is right and its fantastic. Got a honey siracha shrimp bowl yesterday and enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend for great food and service with a smile. read more

Ordered for the first time today for lunch! We ordered the tacos with shrimp, carne asada, and short rib tacos. Everything was super fresh and delicious! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Friendly staff definitely has a place in the review. Very accommodating and welcoming. Now for the food. There was really nothing special about anything we ordered from the Birra tacos, fish tacos and pulled pork tacos. The food lacked basic authentic Mexican flavor and the ambiance is just simple fast food counter. Not the place I'd go back to. read more

Loveeeee all of the tacos here- the only thing we didn't like was the salsa. Very watery no taste but the guacamole was amazing and we order from here maybe every other week. read more

Exactly what was expected cheap, low quality food. Made me and my family sick we won't be returning

One of few places locally that serves Al Pastor. A hidden gem tucked away in a Manalapan shopping center. Simple, authentic ingredients being used. Good flavors and filling. Not pretentious. Friendly staff. You don't feel like this is a lunch line at the cafeteria. (See Chipotle, Moes or Qdoba) This place also serves Mexican coke and Jarritto Drinks too! No need to go to Moes, Qdoba, Bubbakoos, or Chipotle! This should be your "go to" spot for authentic Mexican food. Nice touch also with touch screens to order your food with the ingredients you want. Less likely for someone to get your order wrong. Right portions for the right price point. You wont be disappointed. Try them out! read more

Even though this place is Mexican I still have to give it the ol Italian *chefs kiss* Everything they serve tastes amazing and is so fresh. Their taco trio and chimichangas are spectacular but it's the elote salad that needs to be changed to the "elite" salad. The service is extremely friendly and everything is super easy to order. Will definitely be coming back often. read more
