Viva Tacos La Estrella

First off, I’ve never left a review for any place in my life. But I just took my first bite of their Al Pastor tacos, and I had to pause in disbelief. Words can’t describe the perfection engrained within their pastor. I’m practically drooling staring at my other three tacos while writing this. It’s as if there was a séance performed to bless the tacos as they were made. Basically, these are insane. End of story. Stop reading this and go buy some. Your welcome.

The burritos are the best! And the green salsa is so good but one green salsa for the size of the burritos they make is some BS. Im a latina and they straight robbing us. If you are the owner and reading this you know dam well you eat at the very least 2 salsa's with one burrito. Stop being like that. Anyways the shrimp cocktail is pretty good too

To be honest this restaurant was OK. Nothing to be excited about but definitely fills you up. So I was craving some tacos and of course my favorite is Al Pastor. It was late at night and this location seemed to be open near me. I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos and an asada burrito. I also ordered an orchata and a Jamaica juice. And the drinks were awesome But the one thing I don't understand is the Al pastor. It tastes like dry pork, It doesn't have the sweet sauce it normally comes with when the pineapple melts to it. It's definitely not Al Pastor. I'm just saying this because if you want to eat those kinds of tacos you gotta go to the good places. The burrito was all right I enjoyed it, although I don't eat much Asada This was pretty good. I'm not sure what this location is famous for, but im good. Staff were nice. Restrooms were clean and dining area was spacious and clean. You also have to speak up in there because they've got Is a huge plastic Protector for covid and it's hard to hear on either end . Not to get the order wrong.

I've been a Pasadena local for 3 years... But this small taco/Mexican food joint has become my personal favorite! Why is that? You might ask? It's because I've had everything on their menu, and I've truly liked almost every dish. The only thing I don't like is their Menudo. It needs attention to the preparation... It needs a style and proper seasoning. I recommend every other item from the menu. The only 2 official complaints that I have is the rudeness of the midnight cashier, and that they stopped serving tamales. Now, I know there's better restaurants, but based on the yummy food and great prices! This little joint gets my vote for "One of the better places to eat in Pasadena". The best part is... It's open 24 hours a day!!! Viva Tacos La Estrella! Order, sit, relax and enjoy! Thank you
