We come here for the empanadas and buy them by the score. Our favorite are the chicken and sometimes they're super spicy, sometimes they're fairly mild. We eat them fresh the day we picked them up and they're lovely and creamy, then we let the others cool down and we freeze them. It's a perfect go to meal when all you have to do is pop it in the microwave for a delicious fast lunch. read more

The cashier doesn't understand rounding and tried to short me about 25cents. I understand that's not a lot but I know if I'm short that amount I won't get service. I wouldn't mind if it was 10 cents or something like that, but a whole quarter? Then when I tried to explain it to here it was like I was speaking another language or something. She then proceeded to tell me well this is never happening again (as in she would not give me my change or round to the nearest nickel).I wonder how many other people she shorts on change. Then she speaks in this other language(not Spanish) and I'm pretty sure she was talking smack by her demeanor and since I just proved she was wrong. Also the tamales are sometimes not even done, la masa is barely cooked through. read more

One of my favorite street taco places in Simpsonville. I wish the menu was in English too. The tacos are always good. read more

We really enjoy this place. Nothing fancy but great authentic Mexican food. We ordered two 3 x taco meals with dessert and extra sauces for under $20. Highly recommend their Pastor, Chorizo, and Carnitas tacos and they were all excellent. Their English isn't great, but it beats my Spanish by a mile...and I'm there for food not conversation. read more

Ordered my daughter a Tres leches cake for her birthday over a week in advance. I paid when I ordered it. Total was 65.00 Fast forward a week I go into pick up the cake to find out it was never made. I watched the lady make the ticket that had all my daughters info on it. They didn't even try to make it right. The lady just said I can give you your money back. read more

Food is delicious and authentic, atmosphere is quiet and family oriented. The girl at the front desk always makes me feel welcome and always checks for extra things even if they don't have it. read more

Can I give this amazing hidden treasure 10 stars? I stopped by for curiosity and found the most delicious and authentic tacos in Downtown Simpsonville! The menu has all the tradicional Mexican items and the stuff is very kind and courteous. Amazing value, very affordable I could not believe how inexpensive! There are freshly made "aguas" and deserts in the fridge. I read more

Great cheap Mexican and Salvadorian food. Their pupusas are very tasty and good size. I also recommend their tamales, sopes and huaraches.

I ordered a lot of tamales in advance for a business function. When I went to pick them up at the agreed time they did not have one of them. Very disappointing and unprofessional! Do not trust any type of business lunches for these people to prepare food or cater! read more

This place has the best Menudo in Greenville. I drove to Simpsonville from Greenville the last two Saturdays for their soup. It's amazing. I get tamales there on my way to work in Fountain Inn and they are amazing. Good prices and service and the owners are so nice. Love this place. read more

Limited options on the menu, not vegetarian friendly. Staff wasn't as friendly which was disappointing. The food was great, I ordered egg and potato breakfast tacos (apparently as a special request) since they don't have this on the menu. This place has a lot of potential, hopefully become a more friendlier environment as well as expanded menu. read more

The salsa was good but the tacos omg the most bland thing ever. I went to Mexico 2 times, one of my friends is Mexican and all the time the carne was with a lot pf flavor but with this the chicken was just shredded chicken with no flavor as well as the beef. the only good thing was the tortillas l read more

Meat was good. Allowed you to get your own toppings for your tacos. You could tell the bakery items were baked daily.

Come here all the time , very good service and pastries. Ordered an al pastor torta and it had a piece of chewed gum on half of the torta. Ruined this place for me. read more

Excellent Tacos and Tamales. I had the Asada and Chorizo tacos and pork tamale. I really like the "fixins" bar with lime, cilantro, onions etc. Salsa verde is also very good! Menu is English and Spanish. read more

I like this little place ! Their Tamales are huge for a really reasonable price ! Red pork are my fave, but green pojo are good too ! The bakery selection is straight out of Mexico ! Never ate in the place, but takeout of Tamales and desert is definitely my recommended strategy ! Enjoy ! read more

Coming from a true Mexican. Do not come here. Right from the get go the customer service was bad. Almost put me in a bad mood. The girl was talking to me like I was wasting her time. Whatever I was hungry so I ordered three tacos anyway. I get my tacos with no cilantro or onion. I find onion at the salsa bar but no cilantro. I ask for cilantro and looks at me like I'm a peasant and says it's there's no more. I take a bite out of my taco and the salsa has a sour taste to it like it's going bad. I take another bite and yep the salsa is old!! I finish my two other tacos without salsa. The bread looked good so I got one. The shizz was stale!! Save your money this place doesn't care about your business. read more

I bought $50 worth of tamales for our Xmas Eve dinner. It's my wife's family tradition; they lived in Southern California. Nobody liked them, dinner was ruined. They were 90% masa with very little meat. Ended throwing what was left in the trash. My fault for not trying them first but I was short on time. Might as well have thrown my money in the trash. read more

Holy wow!!!! Panaderia la Estrella was crazy tasty!!! I had the chicken, carnitas, and lengua. I will be eating that again VERY SOON. The tacos I've had today are the best I've ever shoved in my taco hole. read more

Food was very fresh and tasty. The prices are very good also. The deserts all self serve and change often. I will return.

Very disappointing. I went in and bought 3 tamales to go. 1 pork, 2 chicken. There was very little meat in any of them, more masa than anything else. Would not buy them again. read more
