I went to Estefani's for the first time this past spring because I heard they had great Tacos Birria, which are a favorite. This is a lovely restaurant , very clean, nice decor, sophisticated vibe. I will say that not only are their Tacos Birria the best I've ever had, this was one of the most delicious meals I have ever eaten. I really need to go back. read more

Estefani's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

I visited this place on a Saturday looking for a Guatemalan breakfast and I loved it. Next time I went, it was on a Sunday and it was like going to a different place with a DJ playing music and a party atmosphere. For my most recent visit this past Saturday, we went for my Guatemalan breakfast craving. I started with the pork and cheese pupusas. They were good. Breakfast options were not on the printed menu and I was directed to look at their website for options. At about $10 per plate they were a good deal. I ordered the desayuno Antigueno. I loved it as usual! My partner ordered the huevos rancheros. Eggs appeared to be poached rather than fried - one egg was over medium and one was over hard. He said he would try something different next time. Server was friendly. Service charge was automatically added to our bill. We were a party of 2 so I assume it's their policy for all regardless of group size. We probably would have tipped more if not added to our bill. I noticed that the next table ordered a seafood soup that looked amazing. I know I need to come back to Estefani's and try other menu items including that soup. read more

Place was extremely lively, definitely my first time here with a few friends who had already been here before. When we got there, we were the only people to enter, which was shocking because I thought brunch places on Sundays would usually have a lot of energy around 12 or so. But I'm gonna assume this was just an unusually off day. Food was pretty good and came out with great timing, mimosas were excellent as well. If I do have anything to say was that after we finished dining, our waitress was nowhere to be found for a while. Outside of that, it wasn't necessary a problem because we weren't in a rush. When she finally came back around, we just paid the bill and left. However, we had no problems with anything else. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered her best recommendations to everything. A pretty good time overall. read more

Estefani's Restaurant - Taco Tuesday pricing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

Randomly came across this place when looking for somewhere to get birria tacos. I did takeout and honestly was super happy with my meal. The tacos were juicy and the consommé was flavorful - exactly what I was looking for. The inside of the restaurant is bright and colorful but I've never dined in so can't comment on the service. The staff was friendly enough with my pickup order though. Overall very solid tacos (and I'm from SoCal so my standards are high). Would return to get them again. read more

Estefani's Restaurant - Birria Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

We were here for taco Tuesday and boy this place did not disappoint. They had a live DJ spinning and the drinks flowing. Their menu has many options but this place is really known for the birria tacos, which were phenomenal. The queso dip was also really good. The only item we did not like were the pica pica wings, which were a little dry and lacked sauce. It gets pretty loud (and fun) so use your discretion. The service was attentive and top notch! Would definitely be back! read more

Food was cold staff was the worst in my life music was the same as every chilli's absolute dive.

Experience 3/5 Overall the experience was okay. Personally, I would not travel outside of Boston for this restaurant since there are restaurants with similar vibes in Boston. However, it is a good option if you're in the area and want to go to a restaurant with loud music and flashing colored lights. It just seemed a bit odd to be dining with such loud club-like music and colored lights on a weekday at a restaurant outside of the city that was mostly empty. Service was fine. Food 3/5 Food was fine, but not spectacular. I initially came here because it looked good, however it appears as though the food looks better in pictures and on tiktok than its actual tastes. Pretty average food and average taste considering this spot has Boston prices. read more

Birria options are some of the best in Mass. Perfect place for a casual night out with their drinks and music.

Second time I've ordered from here and I've really wanted it to be better. The takeout service was friendly and relatively quick. I ordered pupusas, horchata, chicken tacos and birria French fries for a group. Pupusas were genuinely really good and super hot and fresh. Horchata was not very good and was pretty bland. Chicken tacos were mediocre at best and lacked flavor. Birria French fries were the biggest disappointment. From the time I left Estefanis and got to my home nearby, the avocados in the guacamole had browned on top of the fries. I never checked to see if it was brown to start, I'm just assuming that's what happened. French fries were soggy. When I hear birria I think moist gravy with the tender meat. This was pretty much just regular meat on top of the French fries without everything that makes birria- birria. Over all the food came to 36 dollars and I sadly felt like the majority of it (really everything besides the Pupusas) was a waste of money. The inside has such potential! There are tasty drinks advertised on the wall and a dining area with lights that seems like it could easily be used for dancing. The creative menu, drink selection and ambiance all seem great! I just wish the food quality delivered what it promises. read more

Gave this place a try after hearing so many good things about the birria tacos and I was so disappointed. The meat was super fatty and only the outer shell was fried so the tacos were a bit soggy. The carne asada fries were also super disappointing. The fries were so thin and cold. The margaritas were very sugary so I had to constantly mix them just to drink it. The restaurant is not bad inside. They have a bar, plenty of seating, and flashing LED lights. Do not come after 7pm for a date. They have a live DJ which is cool but the music gets so loud you can barely have a conversation. The service wasn't terrible, but if you don't ask for water or napkins you won't get it. Parking is not great. There's a ton of one hour parking, but if you get lucky you can find a spot across the street. I'd say save yourself the drive and get birria tacos in east Boston instead. read more

We came on a Monday night and the place was pretty quiet. We were 1 of 3 parties there. The servers were just hanging by a table. It was sometimes hard to get their attention when we needed something extra but they came when we needed to order and get the check. The birria tacos are SO GOOD HERE. the soup that comes with it is so good. We also got the quesadillas which were very similar to the birria tacos but more cheesy so I would say opt for one of the other. I wouldn't get the corn again as it wasn't sweet and didn't have the elite flavor. read more

Estefani's offers many Mexican, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan specialties and the owner is Guatemalan and Salvadoran. It's definitely a popular restaurant--my friends and I went around 5 on a Monday and by the time we left, it was packed. The food is very good; the drinks and service are not. Our server, while somewhat friendly, was completely clueless. We had long waits for service and he couldn't answer basic menu questions, such as what type of margaritas come on the flight. He also couldn't understand that we wanted to split what we ordered. He also couldn't understand that two of us were doing separate to-go orders to take home to our families. It was just not good. We each ordered a margarita flight. The margaritas are very strong, but they are super sweet and from mixes. I had a headache after the first sip. None of us finished our flights, which is extremely unlike us. The woman at the next table actually sent her drink back. The food was great. We ordered maduros, birria tacos, yuca con chicharron, and garnachas Guatemaltecas. I don't eat maduros, so I can't comment on those. The yuca con chicharron was tasty, but the menu states that it comes with cabbage salad, so I was expecting either cabbage or curtido; neither ever appeared, and I knew it was pointless to ask the server. The chicharron was crisp and the yuca was perfectly cooked. I'd never had garnachas before but they were so delicious (think mini, crispy sopes) and I could eat a plate of those anytime. Birria tacos were excellent and the consomme was rich. I thought the chips and salsa were a bit bland. I got chicken enchiladas to-go for my dad and stepmother and I tried the beans and chicken, which were great. It's pretty inside, but in using the restroom, we found that the toilets were extremely low. Like, uncomfortably so, and I've never experienced anything like that. So weird and inaccessible. Unless you were looking for something you can't easily find elsewhere, such as birria tacos and garnachas Guatemaltecas, Estefani's probably isn't worth a drive or special trip. But if you live nearby, I'd highly recommend takeout (definitely do not eat inside, especially as a fight almost broke out at the tables next to us) and I look forward to getting takeout next time I am in town. read more

I dream of their birria tacos. Hands down the freaking besttttt. Just writing this review makes my mouth water.

The fact that everybody has complained about the extremely loud music and they're still not changing is disappointing. They blast music at all times and even bring in a dj, customers yelling at each other to try to have a conversation and the waitress can't even hear you when you talk to them. This is not the type of ambiance I need before 7pm, but I assume there are people who want club vibes while trying to have brunch. Now onto the food, we made a reservation for brunch (can't believe they make you pay to make a reservation on Opentable, never seen that in my life BUT you do get the money back) and it was good, no complaints. We had nachos, birria tacos, chicken & waffles + birria fries and everything had good flavor and so was the mimosa and horchata. The waitress was nice but she never checked on us, just to bring the food and the check and would go missing for very long even when the restaurant wasn't busy yet. Older folks would not enjoy this, maybe if you want to go get drunk but the chances of me going back are very slim. Oh and they had a security guard walking around with vape in hand lol like what do they need a security for? Is this place ghetto? read more

What a FUN place with GREAT food! I LOVE the fajitas...and the drinks are to die for. Try a margarita flight. You get to choose from like 9 flavors!! Yummm!! The owners are often here and are so nice and want you to have fun. Come & practice your Spanish, try some authentic (not chain restaurant) food & have a drink. The music is always lively. And they have a great brunch with a mimosa tower! I'm going to keep coming back over and over again! read more

This was definitely worth drive if you're in the north shore area! We ordered on a Friday night for take out and was quoted 20 minutes-- we ended up arriving in 30 minutes or so and didn't have to wait too much. The front staff was super slow considering the restaurant wasn't too busy. We over ordered, but we do not regret it. We ordered the following: -Birria Tacos ($14) -Chicken Burrito ($9) -Elotes Locos Spicy ($8.75) -2 Pupusas- chicharron y queso ($5.50) -Tortas- torta de pollo ($9.50) -Yucca fries ($5.50) This was the first birria tacos we've ever had and it was delicious! They were a little stingy with the dipping sauce, but it got the job done. The chicken burrito was ginormous and super flavorful.. It had it all. The spicy elotes were way too over cooked and a waste of $9. We could barely finish one out of the two because it was super mushy and it lacked its characteristic sweet taste. The pupusas were good, but we've had better. The tortas was super soggy and wasn't as enjoyable if it was fresh or packaged differently. Lastly the yucca fries were a huge hit!! We wished they were sliced a little thiner but still super yummy. We ended up throwing them in the air fryer when we got home since they were a bit soggy and it was a hit!! Overall, this was a delicious meal!! We would highly recommend this place if you're in the north shore area. Is it worth the drive from south shore or Boston? Probably not. There is not parking lot. Only off street parking in a busy area. read more

Estefani's Restaurant - Guacamole, barely. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

We ordered a large meal to go and everything was delicious. We had the pica pica wings which were definitely spicy, not recommended for those with a low spice tolerance but very tasty. The birria tacos were significantly better than a different restaurant we first tried them from, the broth on the side was delightful. As always, the pupusas were served hot and fresh. The steak and cheese burrito was huge and incredibly filling. The supreme fajita combo was huge and is highly suggested to be split between 2 people at least. My favorite protein of that dish was the shrimp, which were massive and fresh, then the chicken and lastly the steak as it was kind of dry. The montanero dish is also large with a huge strip of chicharron. Not a single complaint of that whole order. Already made reservations to dine in! read more

This place definitely has a vibe. I wouldn't say a vibe that suitable for families or small children. The music is so loud I was deaf for about an hour after leaving. The wait staff, and bartender Seem to have been hired for their looks.. Some are smoking hot ... Lots of beautiful people and eye candy. Seemingly catering to a younger crowd the food is good, no complaints with food. The drinks are a little on the pricey side I do recommend making a reservation, or run the risk of either not getting a table, or getting a table undesirable to anyone else that you will regret sitting at. Overall, the food is good, it has a party/night club vibe even of the middle of the day. The drinks are strong and the service is decent. read more

my party and I made reservations for Sunday at 11 am for brunch. there was hispanic music playing over the speakers and LED flashing lights on the ceiling that were going nonstop. my group ordered a mix of food from their brunch menu and regular menu. The pupusas were slightly burnt and hard, the chips are really thin, and the salsa was pretty bland. The horchata had an odd after taste too. It took a really long time to put in our order because our waitress barely came over to our table. She was very nice but the service could have been better especially since there weren't many people in there. At 12 pm, their DJ started playing and the music increasingly got louder and louder, we had a pretty big party so it was hard to hear each other without yelling. I love hispanic music but this was a lot for a Sunday at 12 pm - the place definietely has a vibe and could be fun if that's what you're looking for! we got our main courses after 2 hours of being there. The waffle was so dry and hard, it was inedible and I had to send it back. I don't usually send food back but this was something I couldn't get down And I ordered the birria tacos instead since they were the best thing on the menu. The size of them was okay, the flavor of the taco and consume was lacking, but they came out pretty fast. I might try this place again if I'm looking for a place to turn up and drink, but will not be ordering any food read more

This was the WORST EXPERIENCE I've ever had. This was on mother's day at that. Booked a table for 6 people, ordered $70 worth of drinks. Ordered $100 worth of food. And ALL OF THE FOOD came back COLD AND SOGGY. IT WAS DISGUSTING. We waited 1 hour for our food and yet all of it was cold as if it had been sitting in the window. We asked to speak to a manager. No manager available, was expected to wait while someone called a manager on the phone... they expected us to still pay for the food... no manager in site. Customer service is AWFUL.

Estefani's restaurant has definitely left me head over heels.. This is a new Latin restaurant in Lynn that serves authentic Central American food. There was such a beautiful atmosphere and friendly people. There's nothing more I love than a local restaurant, especially so close to home. The Plato Montañero is a Colombian plate served w. grilled steak, pork rinds, fried egg, fried plantain, rice, beans & house salad. The steak was juicy & seasoned to perfection *chef's kiss*. The Mar y Tierra was so yummy as well. The shrimp was definitely bussin' & you just can never go wrong with some Mexican corn either! I was too full for dessert but next time I'm definitely trying the Mexican fried ice cream next time. All of the flights are a must-have and the drinks are great. Last but not least, they have a 3 Liter Mimosa Tower that is totally worth it! Disclaimer: If you're going to try the pica pica wings, make sure you can handle heat, because they are hot af no lies are being told here!!! Parking: There isn't a parking lot but street parking isn't bad at all COVID-19 Safety Precautions: QR code's to access menus, staff wore masks, cleaning protocol, & tables were spread out. read more

Okay so I've been coming here on a more consistent basis to get Birria Tacos.. because they're my new found fav. Here is my honest updated review: It is a hit or a miss with the birria tacos. I think it really depends on who is making them that day. Sometimes you get the tacos and they are made with love and filled with meat and just the right amount of cheese and some days you get them and there's just too much cheese and not enough meat. For the price of the 3 tacos, you would hope to always get a good balance. However, this is the best consume sauce I've had hands down. It is super flavorful and thick which is really nice. The service is always okay. They are nice people, I'm in and I'm out. Food is ALWAYS hot and fresh so that is a big PLUS. I recommend them to everyone. read more

This place is honestly a taste of home with an authentic flare and vibe. Been coming here consistently for a few months now and each and every week it has not disappointed once. The food quality is consistent and elevated each and every week. Music and vibes, I could write a book as to how good the DJs are and the vibe this place has. The only unfortunate part is parking but that is completely out of the control of this establishment. Huge shoutout to the staff, DJs and team that work at this place. It is always busy and nobody there will you ever see, provide service without a smile and attention to details, it all starts with leadership and when an owner is fully involved and not afraid to get their hands dirty, that tells you how important teamwork and culture is to this place. Cheers to many years! Keep it going. read more
