Great drinks and awesome food! My husband and I just moved to town and discovered this place. So glad we did!! Can't wait until our next visit! read more

Fantastic puffy chips! Great food, great atmosphere , wonderful service. Strongly recommend

Always a friendly staff no matter how busy they are, they stay polite & helpful. Great drinks & delicious food. So expect a wait depending on the day and time you go or order..try to be patient or ask for an estimate wait time ahead of time so you're not the person throwing a tantrum outside the restaurant. They have done a great job keeping up with all the covid precautions & regulations (despite the frequent changes) Definitely a favorite spot for my family! read more

Good service an good food love the music. Would recommend the chimichanga of carnitas so good

My go to Mexican sit down in town. Never have to wait, always quick with service and food. Always great food and service. Love the mixed chips! read more

Small family owned Mexican restaurant in Fallbrook, Ca. We were able to get seated right away with no wait, but the line got long while we were eating. Cute decor and traditional Mexican music on the radio. Wait staff was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the queso fundido which had flavorful chorizo. The chips and salsa were a hit. They had homemade flour tortilla chips...so good. I wanted to pick them all out of the basket just for me! The salsa was very fresh with just the right amount of kick. It reminded me more of a pico de gallo than a salsa. For dinner we ordered the flautas with carnitas. The order was piping hot and large enough to share. Overall a great dining experience. Glad we stopped in and would definitely come back! read more

Estrella's - Flautas with carnitas! So good!!! - Mexican Near Me - Fallbrook, California

They must have hired a new cook because the last time we went there, the food was subpar. It wasn't too fresh and moist. The chips were kind of stale, and the refried beans were dry. The shredded beef on the tacos was in big chunks, not to easy to bite into. Their food used to be so good. They do have great salsa. My husband ordered a margarita there a short while back. The owner made it. It tasted like water, it was so bad. The wait staff is very friendly, but if your waiter/waitress goes off duty, they don't let you know, so you don't know who is going to be waiting on your table. I don't think we'll hurry back there. (This is the E. Mission location.) read more

Great, delicious food, service and good prices! Will definitely come again!! We had street tacos on taco Tuesday! Great deal. The wine we had during happy hour was $5 a glass. read more

I think I may have eaten here when they were in Bonsall, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It is the only place, that I am aware, serving a combination of corn and flower tortilla chips with their salsa upon being seated. The food was a very safe rendition of many popular Ameri-Mexican favorites. Nothing stands out other than a few signature menu items that I think I remember. But they did have fresh flowers on the tables. Read my other reviews Dicks read more

Estrella's - Mexican Near Me - Fallbrook, California

This home town Mexican restaurant never disappoints. They have added a nice patio which gives them much needed space. I was hooked with the delicious chips and salsa. My large burrito was enough for 2 servings. Follow that with excellent service and it's a win, win for everyone. read more

They have the BEST TOSTADAS!!! Full of amazing shredded beef and thick, crunchy crispy tostada bowl!

Just wanted to update my review. My mom and I come here almost every Friday and have not been disappointed once. These are the dishes we stand by: Chipotle quesadilla. So huge! We always share. Rib eye steak. Marinated so well! Cooked to perfection. Chamoy Margarita. Not too strong but delicious! Shrimp chimichanga. It's appetizer size but real yummy! Fajitas suprema. Cannot go wrong. So so good! Their chips and salsa is what keeps me coming back! We are huge fans! read more

Cute little place that was packed, we got a table immediately. Service was on point. Our waiter was very attentive. The bar tender had a rockin mustache and was working very hard to keep the drinks flowing. We ordered the queso fundido that had an awesome flavor of the freshest cilantro ever and chorizo was out of this world. I have never liked fundido THIS much. I actually ate more after my meal to the point of being miserable because it was so tasty. We also ordered carnita flautas...they were absolutely wonderful. Great fresh flavor. Meat was super tender. I want one right now!!! We were just traveling through and am a little jealous the locals get to have this whenever they want! read more

Driving all the way out here, I want some yummy food! Well this spot definitely will earn my repeat visits in near future. We got in on luck, as I saw other review of this place, anticipating long wait, but we got lucky. We got seated right away! Friendly servers, hosts, overall welcoming! The food is marvelous! I ordered from other viewers of Yelp! Recommendations and they are amazing!!! Like other mentions- must order a Chamoy Marquita! Not to be missed! Its almost like a pre-dessert treats with a Marquita twisted to it!! I order a seafood plates! With garlic favor!! Yummmmy!! The only upset was the martini sundae which was nothing like the other pictures, they did say at the time of my order they only have Vanilla left! read more

First off the food was amazing , second the service was my style of service meaning the waiter joked around he didn't sound fake when he talk to me . He was hundred percent was real . he always checked up on us . he told me about what his thoughts of food that went with I was ordering . I went with the three piece order ( hard shell taco , chili Reino , an mole enchilada , he help me out with my order which I really appreciated and honestly the food came out so fast and was so delicious I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Very very good food. We ate on the patio outdoor, which was a bit noisy. Service was prompt and attentive. Salsa is good, and I love the flour tortilla chips with it. Tostada was copious and tasty, fajitas cooked well with a nice char flavor. Could have been season a tad more for my taste though. It is out of my way, but that was very nice eating there read more

This place was delicious! Good margaritas and great food for the price. I ordered shrimp tacos and it was enough to make 4 even though it was supposed to only be 2. read more

Estrella's - Carne asado tacos with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Great ambiance and food. Rodrigo and Charlie the bar tenders are great especially their drinks. All the waitresses are excellent and friendly. Mostly us locals to Fallbrook patronize it but has been pretty packed lately with new people. Hate to give this place a great review cause think I'll lose it to all the new people trying it out. read more

Service is very good, can be very busy, food and margaritas are great. Have only been to the one in town itself though

I met a friend here for lunch today. I got a bean and rice burrito and a skinny margarita. My friend got the shrimp quesadilla and a glass of Merlot. We sat in the outdoor eating area. They had heaters out. The service was excellent. My food was very good. The chips and salsa were very fresh. They provided us with both flour and corn tortilla chips. If you're ever in Fallbrook, I recommend trying this cute place. It is small and seating is limited. They do take-out. read more

Estrella's - Skinny margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Fallbrook, California

We went to this place after reading their yelp reviews and we are so glad that we did. I am writing this review as we are leaving the Resturant :) Vegetarian California burrito with French fires- 5 stars! Vegetarian Chilaquiles with red sauce- my husband wants me to say it was BOMBBB!! Sunrise margarita- yummylicious Complimentary Chips and Salsa- little greasy, but the crispiest and yummiest tortilla chips ever. We had a yummylicious experience and our tummies are happylicious! Suggestion: please have fresh juice drinks and horchata for non- alcoholic drinks read more

We went for my daughters birthday and she absolutely loved it. We sat outdoors, very very dated but god food, kind service.

Long waits and expensive food. No Mexican Aguas frescas, I was disappointed.

Idk what people rave about this place for it's overpriced old greasy food bleh. They charge you for everything. Every. Little. Thing. And I prefer my margaritas without fruit flies and a ton of water, thanks. We've tried to give this place a couple of chances and it doesn't fail to disappoint. read more

This place is small but the food was amazing and the staff was great! Can't wait to eat there again.

I took my family to lunch to Estrellas today. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. The food was outstanding. And our family was taken care of by Victoria. She was AWESOME! She made really great recommendations, was super friendly, and did a great job taking care of all of our table and family. I will definitely be back! read more

Been going here for over 20 years when it was located in Bonsall and it's still the best! Love the family that owns it and you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't forget to order a margarita! The mango chamoy one is BOMB. read more

I remember when people all around Southern California talked about going to San Louis Rey horse training facility and the word was to go before the training session at 4am and you could get the best huevos rancheros ever. The El Establo in Bonsall closed and Ramiro and Imelda reopened as "ESTRELLAS" Then they widened the 76 and the building was demolished. Over the next few years they renovated two different buildings that had sat vacant for many years into landmarks in fallbrook. The food, the atmosphere, the service is and has been outstanding! read more

We were super excited to try this place, but when we got there we stood at the host stand about 10 minutes before anyone "greeted" us. When they finally came out, the man who spoke to us was cold and not friendly whatsoever. He didn't even look at us. We were not happy with how we were greeted so we left. Disappointed as we've heard great things. read more

Everything is perfect here truly!!! Great bar if you can you want that! Great staff & food all around a perfect setting!

This was a terrible experience. We were fooled by the long lines we had seen so we went early only to discover the hostess was artificially delaying patrons so a line would be created. The tables were rickety and the place smelled of stale beer. The food was average at best. Don't waste your time on this difficult and creepy establishment. read more

Service was pretty good! It was nice to have them anticipate what we would need - haven't had that in awhile at a restaurant. Cute little patio, albeit a bit noisy due to location. Plenty of parking. The food was so-so. We ordered the red kid's enchilada, mixed fajitas (steak and chicken), and green chicken Encinas. I will say the portions are very generous. The fajitas are enough for 2 people, maybe even 3 people who eat smaller portions. The meats were tender but lacking in flavor. Red enchilada sauce was like "entomatadas" which was okay, but salty. Green enchiladas were too acidic. Overall, ALL of our meals were very salty. I would return but for margaritas and chips/salsa, and the service - not the food. Parents: there is a clean baby changing station in the restroom! Thankful for that! Restrooms are clean! read more

Went to the restaurant today after working the farmers market. Had a great day at thr market & wanted to celebrate with a beverage and some salsa. The hostess was very nice and attentive. This can not be said for the waiter and bartender. The waiter brought us water & placed it on the opposite side of the table so we had to get up to get it. We sat in the bar area, watched our waiter place our drink order (1 beer and 1 margarita) and the bartender didnt acknowledge it. 10 minutes went by, no drinks. We watched him just standing there talking. Final a beer came. The margarita took 10 more minutes. When we were done the waiter was nowhere to be found. We had to ask the hostess for our check. Got the check, waited 15 minutes for the waiter to come around and he never did. We had the bartender ring us up. When we left the waiter was in the front doorway talking with another employee. He didn't even acknowledge us leaving. We won't be returning to this location and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We will be going to the smaller location in town where the staff is attentive and friendly. read more

LOVE their tomatillo sauce. It's perfection, really. Great service, great margaritas. Cute, heated outdoor seating. We're in the area for a week, with plenty of other restaurants on our list to try, but I don't care. We're going to have to go back. I can't stop thinking about their chicken enchiladas verde. read more

Got the ground beef sope, a chicken mole enchilada, a cheese enchilada, refried beans and rice. All of it needed salt and lacked flavor. The best part about their food was the free chips and salsa. read more

The food was outstanding, service both friendly and prompt, and you can chose to eat inside, or outside on a well shaded patio.

Great place! Get here early when they have a live band on Saturdays! My favorite thing to order here are the steaks! Great atmosphere and the owners & management team is always "hands on" working with their staff. SUNDAYS Are also a good time to come and sit outside and listen to live music, I think it starts at 3pm. Great outside setting! Enjoy! read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food that I've ever had. Try the spinach and garlic cream sauce enchiladas, everything was fresh and beyond delicious. I kid you not this place is fantastic read more
