This spot is pretty basic and definitely feels a bit outdated, and it wasn't very busy when we went--which actually worked in our favor since it was quiet and easy to relax. They serve everything on disposable plates, so don't expect anything fancy on the presentation side. That said, the food itself was surprisingly good and enjoyable. Not a place for ambiance, but if you're just looking for decent food without the crowd, it gets the job done. read more

This review is for one item and one item only: the Bean and Cheese Burrito. This is hands down the best bean and cheese burrito I have ever had by a mile. It is soooo good I can't explain how good it is. I didn't even know a bean and cheese burrito could be this good. It's silky smooth and the cheese and beans blend perfectly. The red and green salsa sauce is also really good with great flavors. Please come and try the bean and cheese..... so .... Dang.... Good read more

Let's talk about Menudo again. We all know that Menudo is made from beef tripe, but it also needs a broth. The broth is normally made from beef bones and beef hocks. I have never found such ingredients in Menudo before. I scooped out a beef foot and a beef hock from the takeaway bowl. There was black hair on the beef hock, which was unacceptable to me. I have a very particular sensitivity to hair, and I won't accept it. Besides the hair on the hock, it was an extremely good Menudo. The flavor was good, not as good as Taco King on Gladstone St. in Azusa, but still good. The Menudo in this restaurant was not small cut--it had big chunks of beef tripe, beef hock, and beef feet. Just enjoy it. read more

The food here is delicious I have tried every spot in Duarte but the carne asada and salsa here is the best. It is very reliable with all the items on the menu. Big portion sizes good quality. read more

The tacos this time were mostly onion also I order a beans and cheese with Tongue burrito and got no meat it was a late dinner when I called the store they said their tablet doesn't work and so they aren't able to remove the meat option. Then they said they would give me a credit but didn't so I had to call DoorDash I had to reorder again in order to have dinner. read more

Great service, I went right before rush hour. I was out with my food in under five mins.

The moment I walked in i got zero hospitality, and didn't feel welcome. They messed up on my order and I was the only group dining in. I also ordered some huevos rancheros and the eggs were overcooked as if they had been boiled. Surprised , this plate is very easy to make. They also have no bathroom making it inconvenient. I had to walk all the way to Mc Donald's. Waste of my money. Over all i recommend you try another Mexican restaurant... read more

Your hours state you close at 10pm, it's 9:05pm and I've called 6 times no answer. I pull up you guys are cleaning the floor and your doors are locked. People drive and waste gas to give you guys business. The least you can do is honor your hours or update them so we don't waste our time. read more

Paid $11.99 for 2 pastor tacos and an order of asada fries. Not a bad deal. Pastor tacos- really flavorful, meat portion is hefty. A bit on the oily side but great taste. Asada nachos were really good. They used the melty nacho cheese which is always a plus for me. The flavor was good. A good amount of meat for the amount you pay. Service- they were kind, friendly and quick. I tried to call ahead; no one answered which was a bit annoying for wanting to order togo. read more

Ordered a carne asada burrito to-go from Viva Tacos La Estrella... I was told this is the sister location of the one located in East Pasadena. We have spent many a late night there so I was familar with the menu. The burrito was just ok. I ordered it with no cilantro but it was kind of small for $5.75. The meat was good, along with the rice and the green salsa was a tasty condiment to it. I also ordered a cheese quesadilla and that was not bad. I would probably order tacos or a torta next time. Carne asada nachos for sure. Service was decent. Like I said, I ordered to-go so I wasnt there long. The cashier was friendly enough towards me. No complaints there. Parking out front in a shared lot. Located next to Oka Asian Cuisine. read more

Had an amazing experience with the new owners! This is going to be my new local joint for (drum roll) KETO BURRITOS/OPTIONS! I am so happy and excited that they let me order a cheese shell for my all-meat chicken and carne asada burrito. I got to stay within my carbs and get in my protein. All my keto dreams have come true thanks to Tacos La Estrella! read more

my favorite place to go :) everyone is very nice, especially the woman who works in the morning. they have very very good food :)

A mistake that had a happy ending. Sent the hubby out for asada fries. We were all craving them. I had this place confused with another when I ordered online. He went to the place I said to go, and finding it closed asked me again where to go. Luckily he wasn't far from Tacos La Estrella. Nothing fancy, but he said it was clean and when he got home boy did it hit the spot. We had asada fries and carnitas nachos. Excellent value and just the right ratio of salt and fat. read more

I love there food, but when they are short of staff they do forget to put the drinks in the bag. I made the mistake of not checking and never got my 3 drinks. When I called to let them know the phone number was not picked up and no vm was set up. read more

This is my second time writing this review. First review was flagged by Yelp due to them saying I visited this place "2nd hand." Well this is my first hand review of this establishment. For starters this place used to be great. Over the months-years it's gone down hill with food quality and customer service. Now the real reason for review is their ludicrous charging of the card fee that they have going on here. I phone ordered and was not advised that there would be a surplus charge on their end for using my credit/debit card. So when I arrive I tell them I'm here for the order I placed and she gives me a total. I pull out my card to give to her and that's when she tells me "oh paying with card has a different total." I feel like that is something that should be disclosed prior. Hopefully this Honest and "first hand" review isn't taken down again. read more

Tacos La Estrella - Bad customer service - Mexican Near Me - Duarte, California

This establishment continues to be awesome! I've been a couple of times during covid. IT IS STILL OPEN! Don't forget to stop in. I've got my mom, a family friend, and a friend super in love with them now, too. I've since had their carne asada burrito and I will never go back to just bean and cheese. They also have a great selection of Mexican popsicles! The pecan one is great! (Though I've had my fair share of many of the flavors... All good!) You've got to love a place that treats you like they actually know you, each time you go in! read more

Carne Azada burritos are the best!!! Place is clean and the service is great. Call ahead and pick up your order it's so convenient.

Food is so bomb love it here they did raise their prices I got a wet carnesada burrito and my bf got a all meat carnesada burrito it was like $15 each read more

I have this place a chance even though I did see the bad reviews prior to going there. The reviews are correct!! Horrible customer service. The girl working the cashier does not even greet you and has an annoyed look on her face. She clearly does not want to be there and/or like her job. I ordered a carne asada torta which was alright. Instead of adding the cheese on the whole torta, they just simply placed a small block of cheese. I bit the torta and just tasted cheese at that point. I would not come back here ever again. read more

This place just got new owners and wow what a huge turnaround. The food is so much better more fresh tasting. The service is good. They really seem to care about the success of this place. It's more authentic now and the quality is so much better too. I will definitely come back. The old owners had their daughters working and they always had terrible service but I went because its super convenient location. Now I actually want to go.if you haven't been in a while or are not sure trust me go now it's worth the trip now. Everything cooked to order. Better management for sure. read more

The food is great. Sign says open but no one answers the phone!!! I've tried tonight and 5 other days.

I enjoy coming here because I love the meat lengua and not only do they have it here, but they cook it well. It's bomb. I usually get the burrito and my kids the taquitos. We also go to it's Boba Time next door, so we get bomb Mexican food and boba. Perfect spot to have both of these here. read more

Love that it's quick, delicious, and close to work. I typically call ahead to have more time on lunch, and the people are friendly :)

I don't go to Duarte often, but when I do apparently most restaurants are not open. So this place was a life saver, as we were starving and it appeared to be the only restaurant that was open in the general vicinity. The service was decent, a fast food Mexican joint that brought your food to your table. Not what I expected but I'm down with that. The food was tasty. We ordered a lengua burrito, a shrimp burrito and a fish taco. The lengua was nice and soft. The shrimp burrito was well fried and the fish taco was great too. The fried shrimp and fish in the dish were only lightly battered, so they weren't too heavily salted. P.S. they make a great salsa Rojo! read more

I was not expecting this... but quite literally the best chicken taquitos I've ever had. And I've had many! The taquito itself is high quality, delicious, and perfectly moist and crispy. But that is just the beginning. It is topped with superb guacamole, and a myriad of salad fixings and dressing and cotija cheese. I've had to go back several times just for taquitos to confirm I wasn't dreaming. read more

This new location that just opened is very convenient . The tacos are delicious they are so full of meat the portion of the meat served on the tacos is just right. The place is very colorful bright and very spacious . It sure does attract people's attention . The menu prices are reasonable . Customer Service is friendly . One thing that bothered me was the fact that they charge for using debit or credit 70 cents . I was not notified I happened to notice on the receipt . The cashier should always let the customer know or have a sign notifying the customers. Aside from that they make their own Aguas frescas. I love the taste of the Jamaica" Agua fresca" . Hopefully they have more business soon . Its located at a great location . read more

My two cents: It's great that they're expanding! The food is good but not as good as the Pasadena locations and sad to say the salsa is not as flavorful and not spicy at all! At all! FYI: if you pay with a card they charge .70¢ per transaction. read more
