    This is a nice little spot. It does get busy and can have long wait times so be prepared. During this visit it did take a little longer than usual to order but the server was apologetic. I got my usual surf n turf burrito with a mango frozen margarita. My mom got ceviche tostadas which had a good amount. The burrito was missing something that I can't quite put my finger on but overall the food was good.

    We visited on a Friday night, and this place made a great first impression with its lively, energetic crowd. It was packed, and we waited about 10-15 minutes before getting the first available table outside. We started with chips and salsa, then shared a carne asada quesadilla. The chips were crisp, warm, and lightly salted, and the salsa had a bright, fresh kick with just the right amount of tang. I ordered a beef chimichanga with rice, and it was perfectly fried, golden, and satisfyingly crunchy on the outside, with a rich, savory filling inside. The portion was so generous that I had to take half of it home. The fried ice cream was a wonderful way to end the evening, with a cool, creamy center, a cinnamon-sweet flavor, and a satisfying crunchy exterior. Our wonderful waitress recommended it, and I'm so glad she did. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the area.

    We went here after picking pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. All 3 of us got the Michelada's and one of us got the blue drink, their Micheladas were so good! We ordered two of their Coctel Camaron for about $16, with added octopus for an extra $5. It was fresh and for that price it's really good compared to other places that's a bit more expensive. We also ordered their fajitas and tacos! They serve free chips and salsa while waiting for your order so that's also nice! Everything is delicious, they have outside and indoor seatings, and our server was very nice and friendly. It was a lovely day to spend time with friends while enjoying our meal. It's only a 5minute drive from the vineyard 1942 pumpkin patch, so it's really close.

    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.

    OMG chamoy mango margarita

    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.

    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.
