Stopped for dinner while staying in Garden City for a night on way to CO for vacation. The only…read moredisappointment is that I wish La Estrella was in *my* hometown. Four of us, including a vegan and a picky eater, loved everything we ate. My husband had the pork tacos (pastor, I think he said) and chorizo tacos, and he raved. They were more of a street-style taco, served with fresh lime to squeeze over. Very fresh! I am a big fan of enchiladas and had the enchiladas rojas. They were more authentic than Tex Mex (everything here is), but a great proportion of sauce to cheese to enchilada. With a bit of the spicy salsa (yowza!) or pico (the pico is ah-MAYYY-zing!), just mmmmmmmMMMMMM. So good! Picky Eater (our 18 yo son) got 3 burritos with just ground beef and cheese inside. He was in heaven. Vegan (our 15 yo dgtr) got the fries and some chips and guac. She was fighting us ALL off her food. That GUACCC!!! Yum, yum, YUM. Just yum. And they serve beer, too! Y'all. This little restaurant is a gem. My husband wants to go back this morning for breakfast. You just have to check it out if you find yourself in Garden City. (PS: I use Yelp all the time, but this is my first-ever review. I am usually WAY too lazy for that!)

Very plain exterior hides a lovely atmosphere: modern but cozy, comfortable booth, super thin chips, meh salsa, entrees fresh and hot. Steak burrito was stuffed, Camarones Fundido was unique and absolutely delicious (I added spinach, yum!). Only 4stars because wait staff did not check to see if everything was okay or to offer refills...only delivered check. Still, would be regulars if we lived closer.

Take some of the queso and pour that on everything and you've got a fantastic meal. The chips come with a side, you have to buy the dip to get them, but so worth it! Thin and crispy! Food came out fast and hot, the staff very attentive. Highly recommended!!! We will be back! Would love to work my way through the whole menu.

We started off with guac and chips and a mojito and a margarita. The guac was so good and I enjoyed the jalapeño in it! Nice kick! The margarita was great and if you want a jumbo, it's only $14 and it's HUGE! The carne asada tacos were good, but honestly a little dry. The meat is thinly sliced and cut short so it gets a bit dry. But still, with the sauces and sides (or at least the sides from our fajitas), you get a moistness. The fajitas came out sizzling and tasty! I love the sound it makes. That's how you know your fajitas are perfect. The peppers and onions were soft and seasoned well. But again, the beef is still dry! I love the vibe in here. So cute and quaint. Definitely not the nicest Mexican restaurant I've been to (look wise), but they had super fun seats and decor! This is a great neighborhood spot clearly! Ultimately it was good. Our server was quick and efficient. It was a perfect pitstop on our trip and I'm feeling super content!
