We stopped in for tacos to go and were not disappointed. I am not Hispanic but do speak Spanish and found the lady working to be very kind and welcoming. The tacos were $3 or $4 each and were your basic Mexican street taco with cilantro and onion. Tortillas were fresh and the chicken was flavorful. The location is pretty humble looking outside and inside, but the food we had was good and well priced! read more

I came here a year ago, black man btw, and they were super rude, discriminating, and declined me food. A year later, they're more nicer, wasn't racist, and didn't have any attitude this time. Awesome place as a whole now confirmed read more

Pretty rough experience here as a non Spanish speaker. Employee working didn't seem to be able to understand English and wasn't able to communicate back in English either. They misunderstood my order and ended up with a weird half breakfast/half lunch burrito that wasn't good unsurprisingly. They didn't seem thrilled to have to have me there in the first place. I won't be visiting again. Espanol - Experiencia bastante difícil aquí como alguien que no habla español. El empleado que estaba trabajando no parecía entender inglés y tampoco pudo comunicarse en inglés. Entendieron mal mi pedido y terminé con un burrito extraño, mitad desayuno y mitad almuerzo, que no estaba bueno (como era de esperarse). No parecían muy contentos de tenerme allí en primer lugar. No volveré a visitar este lugar. read more

Mexican food is one of my favorite foods that I can eat every day all day they have a great atmosphere great food a ton of different types of drinks. The employees are amazing. You can get a huge burrito for like 11 bucks and a drink and they have all kinds of desserts if you'd like authentic food then go try this place i'm a big boy and I can't even finish my burrito. I have to eat it for like lunch and dinner. That's how big their portions are. I've not had a bad thing there yet. read more

The place isn't much to look at and if you're american the employees are rude to you but the food is worth it! Incredible tacos, the soles are the best in town! If they work on that racism and they will be perfect! read more

Food was simple and delicious. Prices are so low for what you get. We will be back again...and often.

You have to try their tamales BEST in town! They do run out. Greer is lucky to have this gem!!

worst customer service ever, disreptful and rude, nasty attitude from the 2 ladys who look the same..i grabbed a salsa and she yanked it outta my hand and said ill bring it to you when your food is ready..im never coming back Plus it took 30min to make 4 tacos.. read more

Enjoyed the tacos and desserts! An amazing local spot and authentic Mexican food as you will find

My coworkers had been raving about this place so one Friday I decided to tag along. The quesadilla was flavorful. They offer a salsa-type bar but I didn't find a salsa that excited my taste buds - either too bland or to spicy. You order and pay at the counter. They cook your food to order. It is super busy at lunch and la chica at the counter seems overwhelmed. I can say that I tried it once. read more

Delicious quesadillas! I ordered the mushroom quesadilla and it is flavorful. Order in the front and you pay after you finish your food. In case you want more food lol they have a wide selection of mexican drinks (glass coca cola bottles, boing) and non Mexican. Try their horchata and Jamaica drinks. They are very good! This is not a really fancy restaurant, it's for on the go, fast place to get a really good quesadilla or tacos for real cheap. read more

Very unfriendly service, long wait for my to go order and they forgot half of it, food was mediocre. I had high hopes, wouldnt recommend...

Honestly, one of the worst burritos I ever had. A bunch of mush and a few pieces of chicken. No lettuce, tomatoe like I was told. No sauce or cheese. Who in their right mind would assume a veggie burrito is just lettuce and tomatoe?? That is a standard burrito, and then you add your meat. The girl seemed like she was having an awfully bad day and then some. She never made it right and even refused eating utensils. Told me I didn't have them the last time I was there. What?? Really?? Are you that ignorant!! ((eye roll)). read more

This place is legit. Everything here is good. EVERYTHING! I was mostly impressed with the papusas and the chorizo is so delicious. Make sure to grab lots of "fixins" from the salsa bar. Try different combinations of things, you won't be disappointed! Tacos al pastor were also super yummy. I sent pictures of their bakery section to a friend in Mexico and she gave me a run down of what everything was, looking forward to trying them too! read more

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the Upstate area. You can't go wrong with the tacos, quesadillas or tamales. The place is very clean and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. They also bake Mexican bread daily, so I also recommend you to buy some home made Mexican chocolate and bread. Overall this place is very well recommended and their prices are very affordable. read more

Panaderia La Estrella - Mexican Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

The pan de bono is excellent! Closest thing to a Cuban Bakery near me. Need to go back and try some new and interesting cuisine.

My family and I just moved here from San Diego, CA (home of THE BEST Mexican food since TJ is literally our neighbor). Soo when we got here we really wanted good mexican food and this was the only restaurant in the area with good reviews. Wowwwwwww what a disappointment! This is NOT mexican food!! I ordered a Carne Asada Huarache and it was extremely greasy! The meat was cooked all wrong and dripping in grease. I know this is SC but woww never again! I guess if we want mexican food it sure ain't here!! read more

La Estrella: Tacos and Tamales . . . . and pastries. The question in evaluating little ethnic places like this is not "Is it authentic?" but "Who would appreciate this?" Yes, it's authentic. It's No-hablo-inglés authentic. These places have always been on the fringe on mainstream society, and often times they have the best tasting ethnic food going. I don't just see a taco place that happens to sell Mexican pastries. No, I see a society in the throes of transformation. The two-bit catfish and sodapop joints and the BBQ joints that dotted the South are slowly fading, and they're being replaced by this: the Mexican taco store. From inside the store, the windows obscure the view of the sides of familiar buildings, but you can clearly see the rooftops, electrical wires and cellular phone tower. This could be anywheresville, not just Greer. The radio bleats on a Mexican canción, and for a while you feel transported somewhere else. The menu is uncomplicated and direct like the flavors of the food: tacos, tamales, burritos, many pastries including pan de muerto, and a cooler lined with a plethora of chilled drinks--including Mexican Coca-cola sweetened with sugar (not HFCS), Mexican aguas frescas and Red Bull. One wall is lined with a pastry case that is full of pastries I can't even describe. They look nice. (I'm a churros fan. You like churros? Leave it to the Mexicans to improve on the cinnamon doughnut by making it into a stick.) There is a "fixins bar" near the counter where you order and pay--in Spanish--that has everything your taco desires to complete itself: pico de gallo, shredded cilantro, salsa verde and salsa roja (equally hot--not for wimps), and a container with whole green chiles and onions, a combination that spells a fiery, lava-like death. I usually avoid that one. Yep. They sell tacos al pastor and carne asada: not the absolute best I've ever had, but not the worst, either. They came in a masa harina corn tortilla that crumbles easily in your hand. If all you've ever had were Taco Bell hard shells, then this will be a revelation for you. You kind of serve yourself and bus your table when you're done. The place is pretty bare bones--hard plastic seats, plastic table, a paper towel roller on each table, ceramic tile floor. I'm not sure I'd bring a date here. I'm not sure I'd bring anyone here. This is a place to end up, not to plan for. They offer some decent Mexican grub for little cost and less atmosphere. For $4.25, you can have 2 authentic tacos and a Mexican Coke and get lost for a half hour. What else do you want? This is a place to eat and forget your miserable life for a while. (You live in Greer, right?) There is this irony of boundaries and how they separate us. On one side of the train tracks is the Greer City Municipal building, and on the other is La Estrella. All boundaries are more mental constructs than anything, meant to be blurred. So back to the question, "Who would appreciate this?" Which side of the tracks are you on? Buen provecho. read more

Great Mexican place. Practice your Spanish as little English spoken here. I was brought here by a work friend who mentioned a Mexican co-worker had introduced him to this hidden gem. Definitely not fine dining but excellent authentic quality Mexican at super cheap prices. It's believed this used to be a gas station before. Decor is not the focus here but the food is unbelievable. I had ordered treis asada corn tacos w queso. What came as three small tacos with a great mix of chopped beef. By the cooler they had a salsa bar with pico de gallo, japalenos, and a mix of other salsas and condiments. My work friend mentioned here they also have Mexican Coca-Cola which is the real deal sugar (not high fructose corn syrup). Overall a solid meal. On the other wall they had a big selection of Mexican cakes, sweets and desserts. Lunch for three was $20 which is crazy cheap. We were the only non Latinos eating here. Many of the other patrons looked to be enjoying lunch which is a good sign in my books! read more

Great authentic fresh Mexican food and friendly people at a great price! Get past the atmosphere and enjoy the food.

A cultural experience with awesome food to boot! Bring someone who can help you order in Spanish.

I do NOT recommend this restaurant. My coworker has been buying lunch for all of us from Panaderia La Estrella for a long time and at one point in time she got into a slight altercation with one of the employees there. The situation was one that would have been settled and buried if each party were to resume maturity and adulthood. Ever since then that employee has purposely messed with out orders. When we call in our order she hangs up as soon as she recognizes our voices ( I swear! Just hangs up in the middle of my coworkers sentence! ). Today she made us wait 45 minutes for an order that we have made before that once only took about 10-15 minutes. Now, I understand that they might have been nice to YOU when you went to this restaurant. But after condoning this negative behavior towards my coworker, I do not believe that this establishment deserves any well paying satisfied customers! Believe me because I am Hispanic first generation American... The foods not worth it anyway. read more
