COME HERE! You will not regret it!! I came here after visiting other places around the area and wanted to try this place. I was not let down! FOOD: It was great! I loved what I got (thanks to the daily specials). I got Barbacoa (steamed goat meat) with rajas (pickled jalapeno peppers) with rice & beans and tortillas. The serving was very generous and tasty! It was plated higher than my expectations and everything was delicious. Everything paired well together. My boyfriend got Camarones a la diabla (Shrimp in a spicy red sauce) rice & beans and tortillas. I tried some and thought that the sauce could be spicier because growing up, the name of the sauce is to inspire fear of how spicy it is. As a spicy food lover myself, I was left a little disappointed, but it was tasty and my boyfriend loved it. Chicken taco con todo: awesome. The chicken was soo fresh and soft. Best taco I’ve had from a restaurant. Pros: Complimentary house made chips and tasty salsa. Not watery like most places and had an average flavor. It was just right. Cons: The rice & bean portions were smaller than I’m used to and were warm, not hot, so by the time I wanted a spoonful, they were cold. But yummy rice and beans. Most restaurants slack on the flavor. Quality over quantity, but temperature matters too! DRINKS: Best tasting tamarind agua fresca I ever had! It was delicious. SERVICE: Awesome service! The waitress was SUPER nice and attentive to ALL of our needs, with giving us privacy! Super great as she checked in with us in ordering additional things and the check!

Wow! I love Rancho Estrella. The food is amazing, especially the vegetable burrito, the steak quesadilla, and of course the guacymoley!!! I will say this one time I found a single piece of meat in my veggie burrito but this has never happened before. The waiters are so sweet and it’s overall a great place for dinner... or a date... or a quadruple date

Good service and amazing food alongside of handcrafted cocktails is an award-winning combo. Shrimp Ceasars are pricey but well worth it. And, if you are in the mood for a frozen margarita, then this is definitely your spot. Although we are in a quarantine, Rancho Estrella will easily teleport you into pura vida.

This was the 500th food venue I have tried in the US and fortunately, I was lucky enough to get a tasty meal. I had Tacos and Quesadilla with rice and beans. The food was delicious, the service was fine, food was delivered in a reasonable time after the order. A few comments I have are: - The ventilation doesn’t work well and clothes might catch restaurant smell. - Weighers are a bit busy and take time to pay attention to clients. - The sanitary grade was pending, which is not the best sign. Overall, descent choice for Mexican food.

Ok I have ALOT of good things to say about this restaurant. I have been here more than 3 times and I keep coming back because everything is a great experience. First, the service is amazing. The staff there is lovely and warm, and helpful if you have questions. There has never been a problem with any of the ladies who have served us. Secondly, the restaurant is clean and very appealing in all aspects. Tables are never sticky and floors are never dirty. I love their effort in their decorations and I love love love the atmosphere. Music is authentically Mexican and something you enjoy hearing as a backdrop. They have a tv on in there that is not too distracting but nice to look at. Last but never least, the food is on par! Everytime my group goes there we always get nachos as appetizer and they are so amazing and the presentation is so nice! I’ve gotten the enchiladas, burrito, tacos, and they have never disappointed. Perfectly seasoned and plated. My friends only had good comments the whole time while eating. Not only is this my favorite restaurant but they are consistent and hopefully they continue! Love it there
