So there are some very lovely things about this restaurant and some not so great things. Great outdoor seating area and service was lovely. The vibe was chill and relaxed. Drinks were good. Food was where it went a little off the rails. First of all we should probably have ordered tacos as it seemed like that was the main cuisine. But we got a steak salad and adult chicken fingers. Our choices were not great. The salad was fine except the steak was a bit tough. The chicken fingers were bizarre. I was imagining lightly breaded tenderloins but the amount of breading was over the top and they were heavily fried and greasy. They were also thigh meat which I've never ever heard of using for chicken fingers. Maybe that's why they were adult? When I told our server they were not good at all she spoke with the manager and they took them off the bill which I appreciated. So I would go back but I would stay away from certain dishes. Next time tequila and tacos! read more

I've been to Estella a handful of times when they first had opened but yesterday we stopped in for a late lunch and it was better than I remembered. I ordered a smokey I margarita which was made with Mescal and was the delicious (not overly smokey) we ordered some chip's from and guac and I was impressed with the guacamole which had the perfect amount of chopped onion/cilantro/lime juice. For my entree I ordered the brisket taco and a cauliflower taco. I forgot how large and filled the tacos are so I was pleasantly full after that. Our server Justine was very sweet and attentive during our meal. read more

Food tasted great and so did the drinks, but we got sick when we got home. I won't be going back.

Drinks are very small and over priced. Tacos were just ok not worth the money. Went to lunch had 5 tacos total and chips and salsa a couple drinks and the bill was 86.00. Just too expensive read more

Great selection of tasty tacos and a nice lineup of drafts. Service is friendly and efficient. One of my favorite Downingtown spots for some casual dining and a brew or two. read more

The chips with guac and queso were really good! The frozen marg was fantastic (best one I've found actually) even though the price is a little steep at $13 for a small glass. I got the fried chicken taco which was delicious and flavorful and a carnitas taco which had just enough smoke for me, I did feel like it was missing something but I still enjoyed it. My husband had the smoked brisket taco and he said it was good but he didn't rave about it. Overall I left Estrella stuffed and really pleased read more

This place is a cool taco joint with a surprisingly good beer list, margaritas and interesting cocktails. Service is great. Outdoor seating area isn't huge but we've never had a problem getting a table. Recommended as a casual dining spot. read more

Tacos are very greasy and salsas lack of taste. Not a place I will be back, I tired it twice and they are constantly very greasy. I also tried the cocktails those are ok. If you want to go for only cocktails this is a good place. read more

Brisket was delicious. Brussels app was so good and just the right kind of spicy. Guacamole is great and the Bitch is back was one of the best cocktails I've had in awhile. Friendly service for our big family! Will be back. read more

The Brussels sprouts!! These are a must, they have a little kick but the cheese helps mellow it out. The tacos are very large too, I for the carnitas taco and was very happy. The flour tortillas are so light and thin they are delicious and I usually go corn. I got a side of Mac and cheese and it was delicious as well, very creamy and cheesey! Overall the service wAs good, the atmosphere is very cute and welcoming. Can't wait to go back! read more

Food is usually great here however tonight apparently they ran out of brisket and two people at our table ordered brisket tacos instead of telling us they ran out they serve the speech a brisket Taco with half the amount of brisket. The service on the other hand usually is it so hot and tonight was no other occasion.. You sit Outdoors the waitress disappears and doesn't come back for 20 minutes and this is the third time it's happened. The food wasn't so good I would never come back read more

Been open sometime now. Been here for breakfast and dinner. The decor is pretty sweet. We were seated for brunch on what I call the Boom Boom Room. Small private, table in the back right with a neon sign. The brunch menu has grown since it opened. Has a great Tex/Mex selection. A good beer list of local brews. Overall it was a good experience. Food and drinks are always great! read more

Overpriced below mediocre food. Subpar service as well. Personally have not had any issues with the management, but have heard from many friends that the manager has been rude and unhelpful to anyone with concerns or complaints. The outdoor seating setup is pretty good, but it really doesn't make up for the bland and generally tasteless food. read more

Nice atmosphere but experience was not good . The service was poor. Hoping it improves but this was our third time trying.

My wife and I stopped for lunch. The place has a cafeteria look. I don't like the style it seems cheap. We ordered chips and salsa for an appetizer, the chips were stale. The drinks are really small with too much ice. I ordered the applewood chicken and black bean tacos, they were pretty good. My wife ordered the carnita pork taco. She said it seemed ok but had stomach issues on the way home and had to release some carnita demons when we got home. That very rarely happens to her. The server was nice and very attentive. Other servers looked miserable like they didn't want to be there so I'm glad ours was there. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Everything from the décor to the drinks to the food was nothing short of amazing. A bunch of us came here for happy hour and I so glad we chose this place. I got the fried chicken taco, street corn and a couple frozen pineapple margaritas. A couple of us shared the beef brisket fries, which I would recommend everyone try. read more

I've been here a few times for Sunday brunch, tacos, beers, cocktails and all were done well. They put a contemporary twist on classic tacos. Service is always been outstanding at both tables and the bar. At least 20 beers on tap with a heavy local influence and they have a creative cocktail menu. Food comes out super fast. read more

Our first time wasn't fabulous . Our 2nd time tonight WAS! We sat at the bar, Adam was our bartender. He is very great! Gave suggestions, answered questions and was very attentive. The food here has always been very good. If you're in Downingtown it's a great spot!i read more

Tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt but for a second time the service was horrible. Waited 30 minutes for a drink. Needed a second drink with dinner but after waiting we asked a buzzer to get our waitress. I ordered another drink and didn't receive it until after dinner was finished... I even held off on eating because I was so thirsty. Now 15 minutes after that still waiting on our check I asked for when I received my last drink. Horrible service read more

Ordered online thru their website delivered by DoorDash. Order was delivered, tipped door dash 20%. Half my order was missing. Called estrella they apologized and said they would send another door dash to deliver the other half. About 1.5 hrs later received the other half and that was wrong. Missing another item. Door dasher then messages me that I didn't tip. Explained to him that estrella was responsible for the tip. Estrella used to be very good but the past few times I've ordered I've been missing items and takes forever. read more

I've been hearing good things about the spot for awhile and just had to try it. I got the brisket biscuit for brunch and it was super tasty. The brisket was piled high and melted in your mouth and was spiced just right. The biscuit was a tad over cooked, but other than that, it was delightful. We also ordered a burger and kids chicken tenders and everyone licked their plates clean. My traditional margarita was on the skimpy side and a bit too sour for my liking. The service was good, atmosphere was nice! We'll be back! read more

My wife and I haven't been to Estrella for over a year. We used to go a few times a month. It's literally 5 minutes from our house. But after a few disappointing visits, we decided to stop. Bad service. Cold food. No ambiance. It went downhill, fast. We dine out about 4-5 times a week. This is, at best, a neighborhood restaurant. But the prices are ridiculous for the area ($13 for a Margarita-$6 for chips and salsa). Most Mexican/TexMex restaurants don't charge for chips/salsa. That being said/typed, we decided to give it another shot. It was on a Sunday at about 4 o'clock. Gorgeous day. Perfect for outdoor seating. I walked in and asked if we could have the table directly in front of the door. No problem. We sat down and checked out the menu. I had my beer picked out. We were excited. That didn't last as we waited. And waited. And waited some more. Another couple was seated next to us. After a few minutes, a server came out with water and menus and served them. Huh? We chuckled. Then, waited some more. A total of (drumroll, please) 15 minutes. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. No one approached our table. There were 3 servers who passed us at least 5 times. Now, before you say why didn't you stop the server, go back into the restaurant, blah blah blah. I wanted to see how long it would take. The weather was great. We were optimistic someone would take our order. So, how long? The answer? Too long. We wanted to like this place but whoever is running it makes it difficult. Never again. Judging by the number of reviews and the ratings, I'd say it is probably the staff giving the 4 stars. Anyone with any experience with a well-run restaurant would give it a 2, at best. Drive another 10 yards, make a right, and go to Il Spano. It's not Tex/Mex but it is a wonderful Italian restaurant. read more

I have to say, my first review for Estrella was NOT a happy one! I am pleased to report, however, that since the first few months of the establishment being open, Estrella is one of my new favorite places for Brunch! I LOVE the cocktails for both brunch and dinner- seriously some of the best around. And the menu has improved tremendously! I am so happy that this place is thriving and doing so well! Now.... If it can only be summer so I can grab a seat out on the patio!!! read more

Estrella - Honey Chipotle Brussels Sprouts - Tacos Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

We went early Saturday and hopes to sit outside but the wait was 30 minutes and we were starving. Sat inside and a picnic table style table and Bench. Service was very good throughout the meal. Great beer selection and we started with pops nachos which were awesome. Looked so good my vegetarian wife almost tried the beef. We ordered chicken sandwiches, tacos and the pitmaster plate. Everyone loved their food and I'd say the pitmaster plate brought up the rear in terms of the ranking of dishes. A family of 5 ate for 82 bucks plus tip with an app and one beer for me. That's not bad at all and everyone enjoyed their meal. read more

First time here and it was great. All of our food was amazing and that's something that's rare. Four of us all ordered different things. Chips were fresh and tasty. Same with the guacamole and salsa. Our server was informative and attentive as well. The best part was all of the unique flavors that went so well together! They have definitely earned repeat customers. read more

We normally frequent On The Border in Exton but decided to try Estrella because it is closer to home and usually small owner operated businesses are better. Unfortunately the food was subpar and the service was slow. We had to PAY for chips and salsa but they tasted like the chips were out of a bag and the salsa was bland without any heat at all. I ordered the brisket tacos and they came out dripping in grease and literally had to be squeezed out before I could attempt to eat them. Ambiance of outside seating seemed like a plus but the busy roadway so close to the table turned out to be a bad idea because of the noise and the safety concerns as cars passed by only a few feet from the tables. The drinks were tasty but they mistakenly gave my wife the "double" in her margarita rather than in my mojitos and she became instantly intoxicated, not necessarily a bad thing for me but definitely a safety concern if she was planning on having one drink before driving home. Overall it was disappointing. Not sure we will give it another try for food but we might stop by for a frozen drink or two. read more

The tacos here are delicious and I can't wait to return! My friends and I shared the caramelized garlic guacamole (which was delicious) and then I had a fried avocado taco and a braised black bean one. As a vegetarian, it was amazing to have selection and food that was the exact opposite of bland. Service was polite, accommodating, and quick. Thanks for a great meal! read more

Not sure how this place doesn't have 5 stars on yelp... the building is beautiful, the staff is so friendly, and the food & drinks are phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Super brunch with friends. Our server Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had the crab & avocado toast, which was a really generous portion of crab, with egg addition. They had me at tomato jam! My husband got the Texas French toast which he enjoyed. Our group got a variety of breakfast tacos including brisket, chorizo and the H-town. We also got an order of the jalapeño sausage gravy and biscuit for everyone to try (would get again!) and a skillet cinnamon roll. The restaurant is cute, and though I liked the aesthetic of the bench seating, was concerned for my husband's bad back. read more

came for a Sunday lunch with my husband, our friends and their tiny little infant. we were able to sit right away and were treated by a few servers. I had some not so traditional tacos (southern fried chicken, and fried avocado), but it was still super delicious. the queso is chock full of different ingredients that all taste glorious together. and the bean dip is not your average refried bean situation. both dips came with an ample amount of tortilla chips. sitting inside can be kind of loud since the ceilings are high and there's alotta acoustic things happening. but the infant was able to sleep through it all, so.. there's that. service could use some improvement. our waitress got confused with our beer orders in a way that suggested she didn't know their beer list. It took a little while for waters to be filled and for the check to come too. read more

Wonderful restaurant; the interior is beautiful, and outside is perfectly spaced for Covid consideration, with heated lamps. The waitress Isabel made an effort to support my dietary restrictions and made sure I was comfortable and happy. She involved the manager to also reassure me, which I really appreciated. Great food, drinks, service and decor. read more

Atmosphere is adorable. I ordered the nachos with the meat on the side because my friend is a vegetarian. Waitress was like of course! All we got was cold chips with steak on them.... when we literally said meat on the side. No other toppings on it? Our waitress was sweet and were not Karen's so we decided to leave and go elsewhere for dinner. Make it make sense! Literally go elsewhere for Mexican cus this ain't it! read more

Got to say this is my second time here in a week this place is the best I got brisket taco and nachos You got to try this place it's so good read more

Service was perfect. Food delicious! Would give it 5 stars were it not for the manager. Wanted to take a photo of their phenomenal bar for this review but there was a large cardboard box on the bar. I watched for about 20 minutes-no one was going into the box or paying any attention to it so when the manager walked past our table I politely asked if someone could move the box so I could take a photo "when we are done squeezing the limes" she said as she continued past our table rolling her eyes and shaking her head as if I asked something unreasonable or ridiculous. Well to that manager I suggest you get a new job. Obviously you can't handle polite and thoughtful (wanted a good representation of the bar for my photo) customers like me. I can't imagine how you'd treat rude diners. Much later, the box was gone but by then there were people at the bar. Didn't want to post pics of people. Trust me that bar is old and gorgeous as Nf that manager is unfriendly and bothered. read more

This restaurant is new and is still developing their menu. The food is very reasonable considering the quality. They offer much more than tacos. They have an excellent selection of salads, sandwiches, soups, and starters. I've eaten the Carnitas taco, and the Texas Style taco, and the Pop's nachos. I have eaten on the patio and therefore can't comment on the atmosphere. Overall great service, great price, and another win for the Downingtown restaraunt scene. read more
