    Best chips
    Jessica D.

    Came here after a field trip for lunch Service was excellent Atmosphere was friendly and inviting They have a little bar Great micheladas I didn't like that the crunchy tacos were shells from. Box and we're stale but other than that the food was really good The beans were a 100/10

    Mi Amore, Estrellas . A five star experience in beautiful Fallbrook, Ca. The service and staff are outstanding, super friendly environment and they really make you feel at home with family style cooking. The margaritas are very good (and strong), chips and salsa hit the spot, and the entrees are traditional and generous. My usual to-gos are the flautas, wet burrito, and enchiladas. Try the carne asada fries too. Indoor and outdoor seating available plus full bar setup. Parking lot available.

    Really solid Mexican food with great service! I love being near San Diego because I feel like Mexican food gets better the closer you get to the border. I have family that recently moved to Fallbrook and I was surprised to find such a great restaurant in this quaint little town. I've only had to-go from here but the food has always been delicious! My favorite so far have been the Imelda tacos - hearty slices of asada with a homemade chipotle sauce, grilled onions, and lots of cilantro and lime! I also love their refried beans because they have so much flavor. They also pack you a whole tub of their pico de gallo when you order to-go. Pro tip: they don't have agua frescas, but the employee told us to walk next door to the Mexican market to get some.

    Estrellas is a Falbrrok staple and I have been coming here for years. There mixed chips and salsa are unique and delicious. Everything I ever order is consistently good. Service and communication is excellent and they take Apple Pay which I love. The best part are the margaritas!

    I was on the hunt for a local Mexican spot and am so glad to have crossed paths with Estrella's while visiting the Fallbrook area. The meat was cooked perfectly, the margaritas were generously strong, and the staff was speedy and friendly. Most of the indoor tables are booths and there's plenty of outdoor seating too. Would highly recommend this place for a local spot with quality food.

    Soooo yummy. Currently working in Fallbrook and decided to stop in and have lunch. Glad I did. Delicious food, reasonably priced, nice comfy booths inside and a patio outside. Indoors, AC kept me cool and pleasant music at exactly the right volume made my meal more enjoyable. My server was super nice and friendly and recommended a perfect dish. Check it out. Loved the chips and salsa too!!!

    Ordered several items , The Carne Asada torta , big chunks of meat, and was chewy the grilled fish taco, -dry and hard couldn't even cut with a fork do not order this dish. Should I read the review earlier about this item? Shrimp chimichangas was the only good dish that I would come back for . Up there Carnitas was dry and looks like they gave us the leftovers when we asked to change the dish out the waitress was nice enough to do it and brought us another item of enchiladas instead which was a better choice . I also brought in another plate of Carnitas, which were actually tender, but lacked a bit in the salt or the spices.

    It's pretty good for a dive bar. The service is always reasonably fast. And the drinks are very…read moredecently priced. My only qualm would be that the cash only system is outdated, it is 2025 we need to be able to accept credit and debit cards. Otherwise I would come and visit much more often. Pulling out cash is a major pain in the @ss and inconvenience. We don't care if there's an ATM right there because we don't want to pay an ATM fee just to have a couple drinks. The wait staff are VERY kind and COURTEOUS. Thank you! However the DJ is kind of a d!ck, and by that I mean a complete A-hole. He selectively chooses who he will allow to sing at karaoke and who he will not allow. And I am one that he will not allow. He only plays one type of music, which is old school hip hop, which I do not mind, but is just a pre-made setlist and he has no interest in playing music people actually want to hear, he just does his own thing and ignores everybody else. So I think you need to get rid of that guy John, who does the music, he is not nice to anyone and treats them all like garbage. Other than that it's a great place.

    I love this (very divey) bar. It features 3 pool tables,…read moredarts, couple of other games and free "cook your own burger" on Sundays! (the grill, the meat, buns and all fixings are provided to you at no cost!) Bartenders are awesome, (a big plus for Jesse) and patrons are very friendly. Prices are more than reasonable, there is a large selection of beers. Karaoke Thursday and Saturdays with a large dance floor. Parking in front and back. Biker friendly. This is not a fancy place. CASH ONLY
