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.

Authentic Mexican food and decor. I was the designated driver so had to skip on the beer. I ordered…read morethe combination fajitas as that is my yardstick meal when I try a Mexican place for the first time. The menu is extensive with the usual fare. The chips were fresh and crisp on the thicker side which I enjoyed. The salsa was fresh and medium as far as spiciness, moderately thick and seemed to be made from tomatillos. It was excellent. My main course came out quickly and was quite different from any fajitas I have had anywhere else. The steak and chicken were pounded to just under a 1/4" thick and left whole. The steak was a bit tough to cut into strips before adding to my tortillas, but tasty. By the time I got to the chicken I realized I could just fold the flattened sheet of meat on the tortillas with a lot less effort. The platter was full of grilled veggies including broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in addition to the standard bell pepper and onion slices. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked. The Spanish rice and refried beans were okay - nothing special on those. Overall it was an above average Mexican meal at the most reasonable prices I have come across in years. Definitely a place to visit again.
