If you want flavorful, authentic Mexican food, look no further than Estrellita! The service is outstanding and the atmosphere, both inside and on the patio, is delightful.

Really like the ambiance. Food was good, service was great. I ordered the dinner combo plate - shredded beef enchilada and carnitas taco and substituted the beans with more rice. The guacamole was yummy- I had it with cheese for the first time.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Los Altos. The food is authentic and the restaurant has a typical Mexican decor. The service was great. I highly recommend Estrellita and will be coming back.

Welcoming staff, warm plates and fresh tasting food. They did their best. Colorful place to sit outside in the sun. I ordered a combination of a chicken taco and tamale. No complaints :-)

My fave spot whenever I’m in the area. The Tamarind Margarita is the perfect blend of sweet & tart, and the Pipian is my go-to dish (that sauce, yum!). Really relaxed atmosphere, super nice waitstaff.
