I visited this location after having a disappointing experience at another one, so I was interested to see how it compared. This restaurant is smaller in size, which gave it a different atmosphere. Unfortunately, my family and I were seated near a television and a speaker that played music throughout our visit. At times, the music was loud enough to make conversation difficult, which took away from the overall dining experience. For my meal, I ordered the chicken and shrimp tacos. The tacos were a generous size, and the shrimp was noticeably more flavorful than the chicken. I would highly recommend using the sauce that comes with them, as it adds much-needed flavor and enhances the overall taste. While the tacos were somewhat mild on their own, they were enjoyable once paired with the sauce. The nachos and chips were a highlight of the meal. They were fresh, flavorful, and incredibly addictive. They were the type of appetizer that kept everyone reaching for more. The guacamole was decent, but it did not stand out and could have been more flavorful. read more

I truly looovveeeee this place. I've been ordering from them for 5 years and never had an issue. The steak nachos were absolutely delicious read more

Food was good the chicken mole was good but maybe a little salty. Tacos hit the spot. Generous with portions. Service was good as well.

I love this place! Their tacos are always fresh and super flavorful. The agua de Jamaica is so delicious ! I come here once a week. They also have a cool deal on tuesdays ! read more

While their taco prices have gone up, they've done away with brunch, still charge a fee for using a card and no longer serve you free chips unlike other taco establishments- the food they serve here is sublime. They consistently provide substantial portions, along with mouth-watering flavors. Their green mole and any of their tacos con todo (shout out to cochinita pibil) and any tostada w. chorizo or their chicken tinga tostadas are why I return and hope others can find their thing here and do the same. read more

Best mexican in NYC. All of their bronx locations are superb. I recommend the al pastor tacos or burrito. The chorizo can be hit or miss. The green sauce is an excellent accompaniment. The steak is also worth mentioning. Ive heard good things about the fish tacos too. read more

I decided to order from here recently. The beef taco I got was soooo good! The beef was nice and tender and juicy. The food was well seasoned. The prices are not that bad either. Will order from again. read more

Really enjoyed this hidden gem!!! The margaritas and chips with house made guacamole were amazing. Can't wait to come back!!!

I came here for taco Tuesday and must I say this place does not disappoint! We were seated promptly and were given time to look over their large menu. The food is made fresh so be patient if your starving. There Mojitos are strong and really good! Our waiter provided everything before our food arriving and they don't rush you to leave which I enjoyed. Be aware that the waiters are very busy also preparing delivery orders. Please give this restaurant a try and dine in it's such a chill place. FYI: Don't leave without ordering a mojito read more

This is the place to go to on Taco Tuesday! Got an order of tacos that kept me feeling full the rest of the day. I've never seen the taco ingredients they used in any other place serving Mexican cuisine. My plate included radishes, cherry tomatoes, corn, lettuce, and cucumbers. It reminded me of the Dominican food I grew up eating. Definitely an interesting fusion of Latin cuisine. The veggies are very nutritious and have the added bonus of being priced reasonably. My entire order was under $10. If you're seeking for value then look no further. This is my new spot when I'm looking for a quick bite. read more

The food was very, very good. Portions were huge and we could not eat it all. We ordered the pernil, red enchiladas, rice with beans, cactus, and horchata. It was all delicious. The waitress wasn't sure what was gluten free, but she checked with the kitchen so I could eat safely; that was appreciated very much. read more

This is really my spot. This restaurant has been holding me down since I moved to the Bx a few years ago. My favorite things to order are the seafood fajitas or the tacos (shrimp or fish). Of the many times I've ordered, there's only been two delivery hiccups resulting in really late deliveries. They're usually on time and the food is still hot when you receive it. The Arthur Ave location is my go to, but if I want to dine in, I go to their location on White Plains Rd. Just a tip, order DIRECTLY from their website!!! read more

My family and I came here for dinner afyer one of my son's courses at Fordham University. We were starving and, yet again, Yelp came through when we started searching for optimal dining options. I am SO in love with one of the Northeast locations that, when I saw there was one nearby, I jumped on the opportunity to try them out. I mean, this location is so much closer to my home that the sheer convenience could make me gain another 100 lbs. Unfortunately, this location just doesn't compare to the Estrellita Poblana IV location on Tremont Ave, IMO. My husband may disagree because he used to work at St. Barnabas Hospital and this was his go-to lunch spot but his opinion doesn't count here...lol Mostly, I was not impressed by the service. The food is still very good. I love the Shrimp Enchiladas Suiza. It doesn't matter which location I visit, I WILL order this every time. This restaurant is much smaller than the Tremont location and they don't offer much in the alcohol department. With that being said, the restaurant is very clean and parking was readily available, right in front. I would probably come back just because they're so close. It may feel like cheating but if I imaging the 6 train, then I guess it doesn't count. Right? read more

This was a nice little Mexican spot right in the middle of the Bronx Little Italy. The chips and salsa are complimentary, which is at it should be . The salsa was nice and smoky and the chips weren't fresh out the oil but they were good. I ordered the Barbacoa tacos (the goat...they also have beef). My boyfriend ordered the steak tacos. Let me just say that they give you a huge amount of meat in each taco. They have a $9 special for three tacos and I could only eat two. The goat in my tacos was very tender and I thoroughly enjoyed them with some lime and pickled onions (yes I added more onions on top of the onions already on the taco...so what) which they give you on the side to add. I tried my boyfriend's tacos and I liked the steak better. The flavor was better, but honestly both were good. We also ordered juice. I had tamarindo and bae had fresh pressed OJ. The juice was good as well. The music they were playing was great, a lot of Spanish trap (which I like). The service was prompt and our waiter was nice and our total check came to $27. Not bad at all! Overall the vibe was nice, good service, good food and low prices. I'll definitely be back! read more

Really yummy, and great portion size. I had the vegetarian burrito which was huge. Guacamole somehow was $16 though which I'm pretty sure it didn't say on the menu read more

I usually order from the sister store in westchester square but I decided to order through Uber eats from the Arthur Ave location. Both locations if not all raised their prices up before the pandemic and the quantity has totally went down. I ordered a small guacamole for $4 from the Arthur Ave location and it was the size of a sauce container. No joke. The large size is the size of a small soup container (like from a deli) $12.... I also ordered a chimichanga - Arthur Ave location separated the rice and beans from the chimichanga and provided two small burritos which is fine but the rice portion was so small. When I opened the wrapping a good portion was noticeably empty... read more

Good for the price. It was my last meal in the Bronx before I moved. As you can see, I ordered a chicken caesar salad. Was it the greatest caesar salad I ever got? No. Was it worth the price? YES! This is the exact reason I love the non-chain restaurants. The salad had an entire chicken breast that made the salad actually filling. The chicken was kind of rubbery in certain bites, but I did not expect the chicken to be cooked perfectly. You were also given chips with salsa for the table. I tried each of the salsas and the green(Verde) was my favorite. The pickled veggies were very spicy and the two red ones were pretty similar. The service was acceptable. At one point, my server forgot to refill my water and you could see on her face that she felt bad about it, I do not know why but that made me feel less angry about the empty water. Quality Grub in Little Italy of the Bronx! read more

Never order from here they take super long for no reason at all. Food isn't worth the wait.

Great Mexican food. Delicious. Will try it out again when I am back in NYC , worth the drive from Manhattan to the Bronx

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food do yourself the favor and come here! It's a family favorite and I've pretty much tried everything off the menu. I came here on a late afternoon on a Thursday and surprisingly the location wasn't busy. The waitress was very kind, attentive and served us our food right away. My mother ordered the salsa verde enchiladas, and her only complaint was that it wasn't as spicy as usual. I ordered the chicken taco bowl and it was so good! I couldn't even get to the shell I was so full. read more

The food was absolutely delicious!!! The service could be better; they don't accommodate infants very well. They had a high chair but the waitress never offered it. She wanted us to pull the stroller up to the table...so I just grabbed the highchair myself. It's not a big space at all the being able to fold the stroller was very convenient. I'd say leave stroller in the car. We also had to ask for a place setting and plate for the baby. Eventually our waitress caught on; she brought more napkins as she saw it was a messy experience lol. Only issue for me was that I was expecting to have a nice strong margarita and they dont serve liquor. They have beer and wine but no tequila shots or margaritas.....they have pina coladas but only virgin. We chose their fountain drink options...it was a purple drink that had tamarind and...I forgot lol but it was really good; reminded me of sorrel but not as strong. No issues with the food. I had a beef burrito that was huge and seasoned to perfection. The guac, chips and salsa are addictive. The fish tacos were also tasty. They bring you a tray of various styles of hot sauce. One had thinly sliced habaneros and onions in a vinegar sauce. Mmmm fire!!! No seriously straight up chugging water and sucking on ice hot. I would come back because the meal was perfect. read more

Best steak burrito ever! Worth the money! They are not cheap with the meat potions! Love their red and green (Avo sauce). I ordered delivery and it arrived within 20mins! That's more than I can say for other take out places. Food is great and fresh. However, they charge $15 for a large guacamole with a side of chips and the large isn't even that big, I've never been charged that much for a large guacamole, again HOWEVER I have tried their guacamole when I dined at their restaurant and honestly it was the best I've ever had; not too chunky and the perfect about of Citrus. Overall I would absolutely recommend this place to my friends and family and I will be ordering from them again extremely soon. read more

Tiny place. Tables and chairs were closely packed together but food is good. Guacamole appetizer was pretty large, and could probably feed three to four people. Ordered the mole poblano enchiladas and chose the cheese option. Food was served pretty quickly and when I cut into my enchilada and took the first bite without looking, I discovered that they were filled with steak. I'm not much of a meat person, so I told the waitress I ordered cheese enchiladas. She seemed confused and told me she heard me order steak, but I specifically said "QUESO" (in Spanish) when I ordered. She said she'd have them made again and a few minutes later a man came out to ask me if I didn't like the steak. I had to explain again that I didn't order steak to begin with. My cheese enchiladas came out several minutes later. The queso fresco wasn't melted inside, but I ate them anyway because I wasn't about to complain again. I was only able to finish half of the plate because I was full from the guacamole and rice and beans, which were delicious. I'm giving them four stars for the food itself. I kind of felt like I was being questioned about my order when it was them who got it wrong. I only took the first bite because I wasn't looking, so it's not like I ate and then complained later. The experience did leave a slight bad taste in my mouth in general but everything looked and tasted amazing and the service wasn't terrible, even though we had the misunderstanding. read more

Big time recommend. From the service to the food this is a hidden treasure on Arthur Avenue. The tamiles were so good, they were like the Cuban ones my mom use to make. The steak with onions, was made to perfection, with onions that were not dried out. The rice and black beans were exceptional. This place is not stingy with their food and prices are affordable. I highly recommend this Mexican authentic restaurant. read more

A hidden little gem! The food was AMAZING, authentic and they served great portions. We tried a few types of tacos, sopes and a torta, everything was great. Horchata was really good too. Staff was attentive and the restaurant is on the smaller size. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Estrellita Poblana III - Mexican Near Me - Bronx, New York

Where, of all places, would you find a great Mexican restaurant in the Bronx? I bet you weren't thinking of Arthur Avenue (Little Italy), but surprises come in all shapes and forms. The portions are pretty good. They range from decently sized to "Oh my goodness... I can't take another bite." And the prices are reasonable too. The food I order here would easily cost at least $15 to $25 in Manhattan, but only cost about $10 to $15 here. But how does it all taste? Amazing. Yes, Estrellita Poblana has delicious Mexican food. I crave the stuff. I ordered the "carnitas servidas con guacamole de la casa (pulled pork served with guacamole)" and loved the stuff. The carnitas were so juicy, flavorful, and soft, yet they had that nice, crisp outer layer that comes with pan-frying the carnitas after long hours of slow cooking. The rice and beans were a great accompaniment, and the guacamole only made it that much better. And unlike other places that give a pinky sized amount of guacamole as an excuse for a serving, they give a whole wallop of the stuff. As an avocado lover, I definitely appreciate this. Chips and salsa (which are as addictive as drugs since I subconsciously stuff my face with chips) are complimentary, and certain dishes, like the carnitas, come with tortillas. I don't know how they do it, but the small container of tortillas seems to be bottomless. It's as if there is a little man constantly making tortillas in that container. I have never reached the bottom since I always get so full before I get the opportunity to. I will get there one day! I will solve the mystery of the never-ending tortillas! The service is very friendly. Perhaps they're a little slow at times, but they are, for the most part, polite. The biggest problem about the place may be its small size. The place can get packed really quickly, and it's really necessary to call in if you are coming in with a big party. And don't even think about coming here without calling in, regardless the party size, on Cinco de Mayo. This place gets packed and a line goes out the door. In short: Chips & Salsa: A (Anything complimentary sounds good to me) Carnitas with guacamole: +A (lots of carnitas, lots of rice, lots of beans, lots of guacamole, and lots of complimentary tortillas) Service: B+ or A- Price: A- or A Tip: With a big party, or on holidays, come early to avoid the rush or call ahead of time so you know how your chances look. read more

By far the best Mexican cuisine you can get in the Belmont area. To start, the sangria is very good and the guacamole is a must. I've had the burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and fajitas with various meat and veggie fillings. All are a good choice and come with a side of rice and beans. It's a tiny place, so expect to wait a little while during rush hours. Also, the service leaves something to be desired. They are friendly, but not terribly prompt and rarely come to check/fill water. Still a fan and will continue to come here! read more

Slammin'! I am a fan of the other Estrella on White Plains Rd, so walking along Arthur Ave, I figured I couldn't go wrong. The setup is different from the White Plains Rd. spot. It's actually smaller, but it's much more cozier. I ordered up some steak tacos and they were perfect. I could eat there everyday and never get tired. The service is on point. The waitress came over at least 3xs to see if I was okay and to refill my Snapple. The prices are also on point with the portions served. In an Italian neighborhood, Estrella sticks out, but trust me, its a good thing. read more

Interesting Mexican joint on Arthur Ave, in between a cigar store and a small Polish market. The food was good reasonably priced, reasonably seasoned. Small kitchen? because the food came out slow. Th elote appetizer came out after the entrees. Want margaritas? Get the pitcher, the price is better and "serves 4". 1 glass is $12, the pitcher is $35. Gotta ask for water and hot sauce. Outdoor seating is available but limited. read more

As one of the neighborhoods restaurant, I'm no stranger when it comes to this place. I happen to be starving so I decided to order something big. I ordered "Chile Rellano, Enchiladas, Quesadilla" which came with a side order of rice and beans. My food came pretty quick! The presentation was ok, nothing extraordinary. I tried the Chile Rellano which was super good or maybe it was because I was hungry. The enchiladas wasn't good since the chicken inside was soggy. I can say the same for the Quesadillas. The rice was ok but my husband said it taste like from the box . Overall, the food was ok! I deff would come back to try their mole. read more

As the saying goes good things come to those who wait. Unfortunately in this case, the saying was false. Waited over an hour and a half, and upon getting the food was immediately disappointed with the quality of Mexican food. The large order of chips and guacamole came with 4 chips and the burritos were poorly wrapped and lacked flavor. If I was deserted on a dessert island I would opt to eat sand, and if I had the ability to go back in time and fix one thing in my life it would be to never order from this restaurant. The great nation and people of Mexico should be ashamed of what occurred here at this Mexican eatery. read more
