This restaurant is a gem. Beautiful decor, fun atmosphere and the food was spectacular! We shared the molcajete and queso fundido with our adult children. The server's suggestion was spot. It was enough food for the four of us and we loved every bite. Staff were welcoming and helpful, we were even met at our table by the owner, Fab. Keep up the amazing work. You guys made our night so fun. I wish we had time to stay for Saturday night's live music! read more

If you're looking for the perfect romantic date night spot, you should definitely check out Estrella. My boyfriend found this restaurant on Yelp when we were in the Riverside area, and it did not disappoint. It's a very vibey lounge with live music and incredible food. We ordered the shrimp cocktail (10/10) and the salmon plate (10/10), along with agua frescas, guac, frijoles, freshly house-made tortillas, and chips. Everything was perfect--from the quality of the food to how well each dish paired together. Our server, Dani, was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back next time we're in Riverside. read more

Warning, terrible for Taco Tuesday and prohibitively expensive. However, they have a terrific brunch and I highly recommend coming on the weekend or any time outside of Tuesday. The molcajete is really good--recommend the verde salsa over the mix or rojo salsa. The appetizers are really good. Their birria is very tasty and I highly reommend. They've removed from of the apps they used to have, but for the most part, the brunch menu is legit and you can't really go wrong. For example, last time we brunched here, I got the waffle and it was phenomenal. read more

It's OK nothing special about the place. It's nice to come watch a game. Food's pretty good. The service was great. Just be aware, they charge a three dollar service charge. I asked what that's for and they said for the music which I'm not really a fan of in the sense of paying for that you're already paying , high priced food. Again, it's OK one time try I wouldn't be rushing back. read more

Fabricio is the man!! This place is fantastic. I've been here on date nights, for team dinners at work, and just for casual dinners. They've never let me down. Tonight we came for dessert and it was sooo good. Both service and food are great. Love that they have a loud music side and a quiet side to the restaurant. Definitely check this place one. A gem of a Mexican restaurant in downtown Riverside. read more

Great friendly service in downtown Riverside, wanted to try a place we have not been to in downtown Riverside. It's a nice Modern Mexican restaurant with music and happy hour in the evenings. The drinks were in the gorgeous details of the presentation. The chips were good but a little heavy thick crisp for my taste, but the salsa was fresh. The fresh guacamole was seasoned perfectly. I ordered my favorite chili relliano and it was cooked with a light batter and nice sauce. For the elite corn, we were expecting a fresh cob so that was a Lyle bit of a let down. We worked definitely return and try other menu items as the tacos were one of the best we've tasted. There is a parking garage nearby and also a guarded lot next door you pay on your phone. read more

Estrella Cantina is the place to be on a Thursday night. We showed up around 7pm and were met with great service and free chips and salsa. I ordered the chicken fajitas. The large serving was unbelievable, leftovers for days. Everything was so flavorful and it came with a bunch of sides to enhance the experience. My friend got the Ceviche and it was some of the best we've had. About an hour after arriving, they had a live band playing and it made the experience so fun. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Estrella Cantina Lounge - Amazing service and establishment! Highly recommend - Mexican Near Me - Riverside, California

We came to the Estrella for a celebration on Tuesday night. It was my first time here. The lounge has a Hispanic theme, with cultural art on the walls. It is very bright with dim lighting. There are neon signs and the space is spacious, with two dining areas. There are TVs everywhere and a projector wall on one of them. There were quite a few customers that were already there. We were a big group but luckily, we were able to be accommodated. Service was a little slow because of our group. It took awhile for drinks and food to be taken and served. I ordered the birria tacos and La Señorita drink. The birra tacos were delicious and I loved my drink. It reminded me of Jamaica. This is a great spot for celebrations, since the servers customized a sign for it with servers holding sparklers. At the end of the night, I think the Estrella becomes a club since I did see a DJ setting up his equipment. I appreciate the servers trying their best with us. Everything turned out great! read more

I had the carne asada burrito, it was quite hefty, I was only able to eat half. We also ordered the guacamole as an appetizer. This restaurant has plenty of seating, we got there almost right at opening and were seated right away. Service was fast and friendly. They had some good music going as well. Street parking can be hard to come by, especially on a weekend but there is a parking structure nearby. read more

Came here Friday night for dinner with family. Shockingly it wasn't too busy of a night...however...with that being said I don't think I would come back here, at least to eat. Service was terrible, it took a long time to even be acknowledged after being sat and even then we had to pull the hostess to have a waitress help us. The initial waitress that helped us was nice so that's a plus. But another waitress that assisted seemed to feel like everything else around us was more important than us to even give us her attention when she brought our food out. Once again it was not a busy night and there were a few servers there so I do not see any reason to have such horrendous service. Next my sister and husband ordered strawberry Fanta that tasted water down so they asked for coke, that too tasted water down. I had the asada tacos and the asada was cold and tasted like it was sitting out all day at a family barbecue. My wife's carne asada fries were a joke. I was offered rice and beans with the tacos and was charged $11 for a small scoop of each talk about ripped off. There were four of us and my 3yr old our bill came out to $140 and they had the audacity to charge a $3 service fee! I would not suggest eating here. They did have plenty of screens and had all the games on so maybe that would be the selling point. read more

The food was great and the host, Fabrizio, and the staff are awesome! They made my friend's birthday dinner a one to remember.

Great spot! We were exploring places on yelp in the riverside area that had good molcajetes. This place did not disappoint. They use ribeye for their meat and the salsa that they use is delicious. I'm also picky when it comes to shrimp, and the shrimp was also delicious. Huge shoutout to our server David! He took great care of us and he made our experience amazing. We will be back. read more

Food was okay we didn't eat much we came from lunar new year celebration where there was plenty of food trucks! We came here ordered a drink, amd appetizers hot wings classic bone in and taquitos de papa which is one of my hubby's faves. Service was okay actually not door good. I had to get up and get napkins the hot wings were saucy, messy but good. Ambiance was nightlife, you would gi there for drinks you can view the street and see ppl walking by. Drinks were typical price about 15-16 a little high but your going out so its price you pay. read more

Fabricio was an incredible host during Taco Tuesday. He priced the tacos at 3 for $10! The pastor and quesobirria tacos were amazing! Will definitely make Tuesdays at Estrella a regular occurrence for myself! read more

Shout out to Fabricio the doorman. As soon as I asked if they were serving food still he sat us down at a table right away. Thanks Fabricio!

Went there for my birthday and let me just say that this place was horrible. Food was mid. Air conditioning was not working, or at least it didn't feel like it was working. We had a big party and they stuck us in the back where no air was circulating. We didn't even get to sit at the same table. Our party was separated into three sections. The waitress was rude, and did I mention that she spilled salsa all over my niece. They even tried to charge us for the "birthday" dessert, which was nasty.. Oh, and get this, waitress split the bill for each group but failed to mention that the 20% tip was already included in the price, so she basically got an extra tip from everyone for her nasty attitude and her fake ass smile. We will NEVER go there or recommend this place to anyone. Do not go here. read more

Food - 10/10 Had the Enchiladas plate, easily one of the best plates I've had due to simple plating, complex flavors, and portions. Service - 10/10 Wait staff attentive Ambiance - 10/10 Very lively for dinner and lounge experience. Not a place if you want to deeply talk as the music is quite loud. read more

Came here to watch the Mexico game but get dinner first, a whole 3hrs before btw, game hasn't started and restaurant is completely reserved which is understandable but the girl in charge in the front told us the bar top was self seated and there was 1 chair available. Once the bartender saw us he approached my husband and I to say that specific chair was reserved for 5pm. Makes no sense for employees to reserve chairs for their families or friends specially in a bar top! read more
