    Pastor tacos

    Every time I go the food is amazing! I recommend the pastor tacos with onion and cilantro. Even though I'm not a big queso girl their queso is good!

    Tacos de tripa

    Delicious food, nice selection of groceries, friendly staff. Been coming here for years and never had a bad experience

    Quesabirria Tacos

    Ordered Al pastor tostada Birria taco Both were excellent. Fresh, hot, tasty. Fast, friendly service. The eating area was decorated festively and was colorful. Loved it. Also did some shopping in the grocery store. Picked up some cheese, and some slightly sweet, bread cakes in the shape if a hog.

    Delicious authentic Mexican food tucked away in an unassuming location! The staff was very helpful, and the food was so so good! We'll be back!

    Spicy guacamole
    Craig R.

    Really good and authentic Mexican food. They have a good variety of meats for there tacos, tortas and gorditas. The restaurant is inside of a small market. The spicy guacamole was delicious freshly made to order but since they called it spicyi was expecting more spice. The carna asada was great perfect chat on the meat with the creamy refried beans which were some of the best I've had. The heuvos ranchero had a spicy sauce with perfectly cooked eggs along with the same delicious beans and rice. A really good find that I didn't know was in Thibodaux.

    Barrio tacos with side of rice and favorite drinks (rice was so good the broth and tacos was full of flavor every bite..

    service was wonderful & food was delicious. was my first time and I definitely will be back for food making a grocery trip there also! I love the store! I definitely recommend this place

    Super pastor burrito absolutely delicious!
    John S.

    Absolutely amazing flavors! Driving threw for work hit up Yelp for suggestions and thank you again Yelp community. Walking in , it's a small grocery store but hidden in the corner is an a delicious oasis. Simple menu and for a first visit just grabbed a burrito and a taco thank heavens didn't order more cause two items I was full under ten bucks. I work a lot in Texas and know good authentic Mexican flavors and wow la estrella delivers. That pastor burrito was huge , well seasoned, and no yellow cheese . (Sorry when I see yellow cheese I think Tex Mex) the Barbacoa taco not greasy , but so flavorful and not masked by cilantro and onion the rich beefy flavor was delicious.

    Okay, this places ruined all the other Mexican places in town. This is truly great Latin food. Order at the window and seat yourself, but NOT fast food. Definitely good food. Also a market if you are looking for anything from tortilla chips to work boats. Got chip plate, six tacos, and a quesadilla for the kids to split and it cost as about $20. Great food great price.

    El pastor and fajita tacos!

    Where I once went to drink underage in my early college years, I now go to eat authentic tacos. La Estrella is a Mexican grocery and taqueria in what used to be the sports bar Bellini's. Where before there was a stage, rows of produce and snacks now stand with pinatas dangling overhead. Where loud rap used to drown out conversation, Mexican soap operas or music videos now provide the soundtrack. And where we used to order drinks, we now order tacos. These aren't the Taco Bell variety most of us grew up with, though. No crispy corn or soft flour tortillas, ground beef seasoned to death with cumin, lettuce, cheese, or other toppings best left on a hamburger; these are soft corn tortillas with your choice of grilled meats topped simply with onion and cilantro. The menu changed up every now and then when it first opened, but it seems La Estrella has settled on offering fajita, barbacoa, pollo, lengua, tripa, carnitas, rajas con queso, pastor, and chicharron. Each taco is two bucks. I haven't been to enough taquerias to judge whether or not La Estrella is all that great, but it trumps any of the Tex-Mex tacos you'll find elsewhere in Thibodaux. If you're a bit hesitant to make the leap to these tacos, I'd stick with the fajita (steak), pollo (chicken), and carnitas (pork) tacos. But if you're up for something more adventurous compared to the typical local food fare, try the lengua (tongue); it's one of those foods that most people just assume is gross by association but has a perfectly nice taste and texture. Give a try! There are several other Mexican staples on the menu at La Estrella, but I've never ventured beyond the tacos, usually ordering three or four of at least two different types and washing it down with a Jarritos fruit-flavored soda. Next time you're in the mood for Mexican food in Thibodaux, give La Estrella a try. You'll be in for a delicious surprise.
