What a wonderfully nourishing meal we just had! We ordered in and got 3 caldo de pollos, and a ton of tacos. The portions are HUGE and super generous! The meat was grilled to perfection and everything was super flavorful. I love when restaurants aren't afraid to use dark meat for the caldo. Much more flavorful! We will be back! Thank you for an amazing dinner!! read more

Estrellas De Sinaloa - Caldo de Pollo was SO good!!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

I called in to order four tacos to go and when I arrived to pick them up, there were eight. Take out orders are by phone, not by electronic menu, so check your order verbally to confirm. I took what they had prepared and it was just OK It's in a very dicey area of town and many other places have closed so there aren't a lot of alternatives read more

This place is located in my neighborhood. I tried a street taco and soup. They also carry beers if you are interested. read more

Estrellas De Sinaloa - Carne asada taco. - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

It was terrible. The food wasn't great, and it was too expensive because supposedly the service the waiter asked like Thirty percent of tip. She said he was like 15%. It's not true. It was more. It was terrible service. The food. It's all right but not that the best a little bit food. It's like it's not worth your time and your money. So I don't recommend it. read more

I've been dining in and taking food to go from this location a lot lately, the portions are insane! They definitely justify the price. I don't think anywhere in Oakland gives you even close to half a plate here for the same cost or even sometimes more! I've been to several locations that charge $25 for a shrimp plate and only give 6 to 8 shrimp I easily get 12+ on every plate I've ordered from here. My current obsessions are the breakfast burrito and Camarones a la Diabla extra spicy. Neverrrrr disappoints! I'm also super excited that they're now available on DoorDash it saves me a trip on busy days! Service is always a 10 out of 10 ! I also love the ambiance makes you feel like you're in an authentic Mexican restaurant and you know you'll be getting authentic Mexican food. OH and let's not forget about their new dessert item FLAN! It's to die for, I always get a slice to eat on the spot after my lunch/dinner and one to go for later! Their a perfect size and great price. My go to spot for a sweet treat too now! I heard they'll also be getting more dessert options in soon Highly recommend if you're in the area or even making your way out with a small drive ! read more

This place is awesome!! I happened to be in the neighborhood picking up a delivery and had time for lunch. This place had good foodie vibes. A beautiful woman running the place waited on me. I ordered a shrimp taco with rice and beans. The menu has a lot of seafood and they serve breakfast. The shrimp taco was delicious and the rice and beans tasted homemade. They have fresh juices and aqua fresca. This is a well thought out and well run place. Prices are reasonable and I felt very safe there. I was solo. My car could be seen through the window of the restaurant. Charming and great food. read more

I thought I'd give this place a try since it had several good reviews, and had four stars, and best of all, it's only a three minute drive from where I work. So I ordered a super steak burrito, a super chicken burrito and a chicken taco to go. I got back to work and started eating my super steak burrito for lunch, and half way through the burrito I found something that I thought was probably a black piece of cilantro, but when I pulled it out and started examining it, it appeared to be some sort of bug or something. I really can't distinguish what it is, BUT, one thing for sure, it shouldn't have been in my darn burrito. I'm utterly disgusted, and had to throw the rest of my food away. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what this is, in case I decide to report it to the health department. I'm very disappointed that I found this in my food. read more

This place is EXPENSUVE FOR No reason i got the same plate at los pericos taste better and paid more here and it was nit that good. Place waa sketchy as shit from the town and they still look at you como si fueraz de china perdida smh. Lady at the front a bit grosera too ahah of course give the men the attention why cause they tip her more? Never again..... read more

OKOK this place has the best tortas in the East Bay at the very least if not the Bay Area. I've eaten the whole torta selection, and they are all awesome. Not just HUGE but absolutely amazing fillings, big hunks of avocado, tons of meat, nothing misses. Their tortas have the perfect filling to bread ratio. But what are you talking about, ratios? Who cares?!? Trust me, you'll know what I mean. Sure, a little pricey, but you get like twice the torta! I knocked a star because sometimes the portions can be a little inconsistent, based on the cook (in my experience and from someone in the know). Also, the chips that accompany the sandwiches are ugh. read more

I've ordered take out from them twice already and both times, they've had excellent food!! I can only speak for the tacos because that's what ordered both times. They are DEFINITELY not skimpy with their portions of meat, which is so moist and flavorful. I was curious abt the Vampiro taco and decided to try it, and now that is for sure going to be my go-to order!! Highly recommend it! The expression "Never judge a book by its cover" is applicable for them. Hands down, one of THE best in the Bay! read more

Came here a while back thinking i was going to find some A-1 mexican food. I really wasn't impressed the food was mediocre to me. Maybe it was just the fact that I'm really picky bout certain dishes and i always try to stay away from the rice and beans. I should of just gone with some tacos or a lengua burrito. I did have a michelada which i hardly ever order because i'm not much of a beer drinker, me my self i prefer a bloody mary. The service was decent the girl really didnt know the menu. The bathroom was clean actually that was pretty surprising. Outside was weird there was a homeless guy that seemed to be living out of his van but was protecting the parking lot and he was also coming in to clean the bathroom. Listen my mexican food standards are pretty high and i might be kinda picky but dont let me detour you from trying this place, you might enjoy it. read more

I always have a great experience here. Don't sleep on their shrimp ceviche! It is soooo damn fresh and they give you a generous amount. The steak taco was really good as well. It's a little truck stop place but it is by far the best Mexican food. Go check them out! read more

The best hole in the wall truck spot-super unexpected but best in Oakland taqueria! Ask for super burrito, grilled chicken and avocado slices vs guac!! I'm a big super burrito fan and this is close enough to the mission super burrito! Go!!! read more

After watching the Dubs stomp the Spurs in the playoffs, we were hungry from all that yelling. We wanted to grab a bite nearby and Estrellas pretty much won by default, being the only restaurant we could find in reasonable walking distance from Oracle. It's not a very pretty walk, but it's decently quick and I'm glad we made it. The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu and reasonable prices. We had two chicken tortas and ended up spending around $16. The tortas were big. Like, would have probably been a meal and a half had we not been so hungry. Although a tad bit salty, I definitely enjoyed mine and left feeling satisfied. Service was quick and attentive. I was sad to see we were the only post-game traffic this friendly family business got. If you're looking to grab a bite and let traffic die down before leaving the game, come pay them a visit! read more

At first I would have gave them 3 stars off my first experience . The location is on San Leandro which is trucker zone so you gotta know what you're looking for to find it . My burrito came out hot and fresh ! Juicy shrimp good steak . Decent price . I enjoyed my first time there ..... BUT UNFORTUNATELY I just went back for my second time and was very disappointed. Now I'm not sure if it was because it was busy or my server was having a bad day because I asked for extra sour cream in the burrito and she gave it to me on the side . Asked for no avocado yet there was avocado . And besides the fact my steak was cold and chewy as well as my shrimp , I notice my shrimp hadn't been deveined and cleaned of poop . Very gross . Never coming again ! read more

Food is good. They were good to me with salsa. I have had an issue with pricing. Have been charge different prices from different waitresses. Also menu price on the was 20 and I was charged 25. They need to invest in new menus. Frustrating. They work very hard and have been nice to me. read more

THE BEST TORTA I HAVE EVER HAD! I highly recommend their Hawaiian torta. It is sooooo good! I just came back from a deployment and I literally craved this torta for months. Going anywhere else will only disappoint because no other place can top this one. In addition to that, their juice drinks are made on the spot with real fruits/vegetables. My favorite one is The Vampiro. Check it out. You'll enjoy this place and their bomb food. Service is great! I call ahead of time, they are super friendly, and my food is always ready when I get there. And I'm actually on my way there- to get the Hawaiian Torta and Vampiro drink that I have been craving for months!!! read more

Tasty food at a location you could easily miss if you blink your eyes. The girls at the counter are very friendly too.

Definitely don't waste your time going here! the food looks good don't get me wrong, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try it because the prices are wrong everywhere. I see the menu online that's wrong, walked in and the menu prices posted on the wall are wrong, the menu taped to the glass is wrong. I ordered a ceviche and 1 taco and price for 1 tostada is $8.95 on menu posted on glass right in front of the register. She then rings me up $15.95 for 1 tostada de ceviche. BRO what? So, I ask okay where are the correct prices? waiter couldn't tell me, so she asks the cook, he doesn't know, well who does know? I sure as hell don't. A lady I'm assuming an owner comes up and tells me that the menus are 5 years old, and they haven't gotten new ones. My thing is you can type and print a menu in 5 minutes, advertising prices and charging something different is against the law. I'm not sure if they just do this get over on people but I don't like to be bamboozled. They need to regroup, retrain, and get it together. read more

Best burrito ever. Huge and flavorful!! Try the shrimp burrito. Right by BART. Google profile is incorrect- they DO take card and apple pay. Definitely gonna be back. read more

Located next to a truck/semi stop is small restaurant which is very easy to miss. Estrella De Sinaloa is a hidden jewel to a few of us that's serves good authentic Mexican food. I've actually never eaten inside. I always order take out. My favorite on the menu are the chicken tortas/sandwich which include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, mayonnaise and jalapeños. The burritos and the Campechana which is a platter of rice, refried beans, tortillas and 7 different kinds of seafood that I can't remember off the top my head lol The restaurant itself may not look fancy or elegant like we're accustomed to but you'll get your money's worth. Decent price and good portions. I'm aware that there are not enough of food pictures but I will do my best to upload more. read more

It's out of the way, but it's worth it. My friend and I went here yesterday (6/15/17) to catch dinner before the J Cole concert at Oracle Arena. We got off at the Coliseum BART, asked people for food recommendations (most didn't know what to say), consulted Yelp, and then made the 10-minute walk from the BART over to Estrellas de Sinaloa around 6:30pm. We were greeted by a friendly lady (who I assume) is the owner. She saw us struggling with the menu and so came around the counter to give us suggestions and explanations. I went with the regular Shrimp burrito, my friend got the steak/chicken/shrimp fajita plate. The food took around half an hour to come out, despite being relatively uncrowded. But IT WAS SO GOOD. My shrimp burrito (inside was shrimp, rice, and refried pinto beans) was delicious and filling. My friend's fajita plate was MASSIVE. It easily could have fed a family of 4, but my poor friend was stuck (but happily stuck, mind you) attempting to eat the whole thing. He couldn't finish it and so we took the rest to go. We were unsure whether or not the food would have been allowed in Oracle, and so we ended up trading the food for a reduced price on J Cole t-shirts on the bridge from the Coliseum to Oracle. We got a 2 for $25 for the shirts which the street seller was originally priced $20 each (and also, my friend is ridiculously personable and a great bargainer). So the shirt seller got the food, we got hella dope sentimental J Cole concert baseball tees, and all was well in the world. In short, take the time to come to Estrellas de Sinaloa and get the Combo Fajita plate (or anything -- everything looked authentically delicious). read more

This place is awesome! I needed a quick bite close to the Oakland coliseum & this Mexican food spot is too legit to quit. The staff gave wonderful recommendations- told me to try the enchiladas (red sauce) absolutely amazing & a HUGE PLATE 9"x16 lol I will defiantly come back soon! Would go with enchiladas and soup over the tacos overall great food & wonderful staff. Easy to find parking too cuz that is often an issue in Oakland. read more

Just drove 6 hrs from Southern Cali and we ended up at this spot, how disappointing it was to walk in to no personality our waitress seemed mad or hating her job idk I guess I'm use to bubbly personalities being that they want tips. My husbands plate aqua chile wasn't even spicy and the shrimp were grey aren't they supposed to cook in lime juice and be pink?? I got chicken nachos they were ok didn't care for the chips they serve could be more authentic the salsa was good probably the best thing there. We would of been better off with drive thru. read more

First time trying this place yesterday. I always see it on my way to and from work. Wasn't sure about the place at first since it's a truck stop but anyway still went and got the torta Hawaiiana.

I recently started to work near Oracle, and I couldn't be happier to have found this place. Within my first week here I ordered a big orders to feed our entire staff, and the team at Estrella is totally killed it. Everything was ready to go. Everything was delicious. And everybody on my team was very happy with the food. I've since been back to get burritos. I should say a burrito, but the functionality of it is definitely multiple burritos. If a person can actually. Eat this thing, I'd be super impressed. It's loaded with all the good stuff, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and I was totally happy. Definitely count on me to be a repeat customer, sorry Chipotle you just can't compete. read more

IF YOU LIKE SALSA, DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I am appalled at their customer service. Each meal comes with chips and salsa and I am a big salsa lover and needed more salsa for my food. Rather than calling over the waitress I went up to the counter and patiently waited til she saw me and asked for more. She gave me a dirty look. Each time I went up (the containers are really small!) she looked at me worse. It was so uncomfortable that I asked for less than I actually needed and at one point told her coworker in front of me in Spanish that I had 5 and she was clearly trashing me and thought I didn't understand Spanish, which I do. She shamed me for enjoying salsa and my meal was not what it could have been due to her nasty attitude. If it really were such a huge issue, she could have told me it cost money, but she didn't. And honestly, salsa is a staple at Mexican restaurants and damn near every place is very generous about giving it. Clearly not the case here. Also note, I tipped as I ordered, which is not necessarily required when you pay at the counter. But that clearly did not affect her poor service and shaming of me. This was not the first time it happened, I keep giving this restaurant a chance because the food is decent and it's close to my work but this was the final straw. No one should feel guilty for wanting a lot of salsa and trust me, 5 tiny containers is not a lot when you have a huge plate and lots of chips. I am very upset and hope no one who likes salsa ever comes her! read more

It seems like a nice enough place despite the industrial setting and the guacamole was quite fresh. But when it came to paying the waitress told me (only after I asked why it was was more than I expected) that the menu she had given us didn't have the correct price but THIS menu that had my order at $2 more was the correct one. So they basically overcharged my entire group by giving a different menu than the prices they were charging. Two stars only because the food was pretty good. Buyer beware of getting ripped off. read more
