    La Estrella Food and Fish Market - Very, very nice produce area.  One of the top two in Decatur, if not THE top.

    This is NOT a restaurant, but a grocer's and bakery...in fact, so far, LEF&FM has the best…read morePanadería I've seen in North Alabama! Our eyes popped, mouths fell agape, and rumors of fainting abounded. The overall shopper's experience here is the best in Decatur. Among the Pan Dulces (Conchas, Ojo de Buyes, and such), we espied something similar enough to Chocolate-covered Doughnuts to make us kill for it. But we had a bag of goodies we'd already purchased and somehow staved ourselves off. Formerly at 6th Avenue, LEF&FM is a must visit. Oddly, four of the other Supermercados are within walking distance and thus in direct competition, a move seemingly both unwarranted and unwise, unless a concentrated Hispanic population in the immediate area ensures their collective viability. I can't say. The first items you'll notice as you walk in are the greens and such in the well-stocked and eye-catching produce area, and the atmosphere was well ratcheted up in our estimation due to the fact that the employees were all friendly. LEF&FM had a wonderful dairy department, stocked with Queso this, Quesillo that, Quesadillo these, and Crema those. Some cheeses had Jalapeno, others, Loroco, which is evidently a flower bud of Central American origin. The popular Cotija Molido, which is merely grated Cotija, was also evident. It's one of the crumbly cheese you'll see in Mexican food...in fact, I believe it's one of the ones of which you might say, "Why doesn't it melt?" In addition to the bakery and dairy areas, the display of "soda pops" (to import a term) and such was better than average. Yes, they have Jarritos, but also have Foco, Boing!, Tiky, and several others, some of which are actually Asian in origin, rather than Mexican or South American. We are already talking about returning here...and that's a thirty-plus-minute trip. And we won't come back empty handed. Possibly in a sugary haze, but not empty handed.

    La Estrella Food and Fish Market - Best Panadería I've seen in North Alabama!
 
 The only reason we didn't buy these is that we'd already eaten elsewhere AND bought elsewhere.

    La Estrella Food and Fish Market - We were impressed with the dairy selection, the cleanliness of the store (accented by its bright lighting), and the employees' friendliness.

    Fried fish Fridays really should be a thing!! I'm always on the hunt for a good fried fish…read moreplate, so I decided to give here a try. Upon entering, I immediately noticed a smell. It was most likely that fresh seafood smell gone bad. I don't know. Since this was my first time here , I decided to order my go to. Whitening plate with 2 sides. The plate was a generous amount of food. I didn't even eat it all! Fish was fried nicely but lacked in taste overall. It was missing something. I hated the fries. They appeared to be freshly cut potatoes but lacked seasoning and the hush puppies were just ok. 4.5/10 Service was straightforward. Nothing overly exceptional. I was impressed with the variety of fresh seafood offered. I think this would be a good option if you wanted to just grab and go! I may go this route the next time I'm in the mood for some seafood.

    STAY AWAY AT ALL COST…read more The worse place. They have fresh fish with TERRIBLE ATTITUDES. I came here 3 times. 1st time was good only because they were busy. 2nd the GUY WITH PONY TAIL was EATING had food on his lips wiped it off with his hands and didn't clean them before trying to serve me and pick up my catfish. He also saw I was in a hurry and gave me BURNED okra and catfish that was cold. Tried to give the benifit of the doubt before leaving this review, but I came today and the owner with glasses was EXTREMELY rude. I spoke with him nicely and directly aside about the incident of the food being burned and who did it and he took offence. Didn't want to cook just because I asked if he could please make sure I get fresh okra as the last time it was over cooked. I said it's not bad but it's just his partner or employee made a mistake and it was a TERRIBLE experience as I couldn't eat it and there's the food away but he was angry and side buy to fool at home since we can't cook. STAY AWAY AT ALL COST
