La Estrellita

A great place for some very tasty Mexican food. The service was impeccably fast and the food was perfectly done. The chips & salsa are good, but not great. It has a quaint atmosphere and the place is constantly busy. My wife and I came in at 3:30 for a late lunch/early dinner and the place was 60% full at this "not normal" meal time. I had the Mayan enchiladas, and the creamy jalapeño cause was fantastic. Give this place a shot if you happen to be in Brighton!

This place was recommended to us a couple years ago and now we're addicted. The food is amazing! I highly recommend the rellenos appetizer. The space is pretty small and the ceiling are short just FYI. They have a waiting area upstairs and outdoor seating. The staff is so nice and service is great too.

We found La Estrellita through the Yelp app. Thanks Yelp for helping us discover another great place to eat Mexican food. My husband ordered the three meat fajita combo. It came out sizzling hot and smoking. I ordered their August special which was a three chicken taco combo. It was very tasty and their rice was amazingly fluffy and flavorful. The service was great and everything came in a timely manner. I would definitely go back!

We've been going to La Es almost my entire life- or at least since we moved to Brighton in '93. Growing up, we'd go almost every Sunday after church, it was probably one of the first jobs my brother ever had, and even though I moved out of state 16+ years ago, I have to get my La Es fix when I come home. Tonight I couldn't believe how packed it was with a long wait- the secret must have finally gotten out, that it's the best Mexican food in Colorado. I savored the salsa that has been my favorite since childhood, and had my regular taco and cheese enchilada. Everything was so delicious, as it always have been, and it is such comfort food for me now. Over the years, the space has evolved, fresh murals on the walls, no more buffet set up right near the entrance, but the same great service, and delicious food. Grateful that some things never change!

I've never had a bad meal here. Service is always great. Outdoor seating is fun. Indoor seating is not my favorite it's dark and gloomy but the food is authentic and delicious I'll never stop coming here!! I've done take out a hand full of times and it's always hot when I get home.9

I love me some good Mexican food.. This is Aztec l/Mayan food from the Yucatán area. A bit different then northern Mexico food. Don't get me wrong the food was good just a few personal things I did not care for. 1. House made chips were to salty. This takes away from the chip itself. 2. Not sure what is was about the salad but I did not care for it. (Red salsa that comes with chips) I ordered the Tacos Al Carbon.. they were really hot when they came out I had to wait a few mins so I did not burn my fingers. My cilantro and onions were served in the side... nice but they fingers were then covered in cilantro when I scooped it up to put on my tacos. LOVED the tacos came with guacamole. I could tell I got the beans and rice from the side of the warming tray because my rice was a little hard and my beans were dried and crusty in areas. I eat both tacos and called it a day. I waited with my plate pushed away and napkin and all utensils piled on my plate hoping that waiter would notice. I saw home walk by only once since I finished. I had to flag him down to get my check. I paid and left. No Thank you for coming in or how was the food.

Came here on a Saturday night and the place was busy but we were able to get a seating for two pretty fast. The ambiance was nice. It felt like I was in a restaurant in Mexico. The service was good. Our waitress was really nice. We got the fajita quesadillas for appetizers and it was tasty but they had a lot of onion. I got the chicken tacos but the flavor was kind of bland. We also got a strawberry cocktail to share and it was tasty. It was a good but average meal.

Made a large order of burritos for customers around 6:00PM. It was a bit difficult to put the order in over the phone possibly due to the person taking the order being new? There was a significant amount of miscommunication. A few minutes later, I got a call saying that half the order will take an hour longer than the other. I told her that is completely fine but just make sure to not finish the quicker half and have it sit out cold. I was assured that would not happen. When we received our order, the quicker half was significantly colder than the other half, we didn't receive any utensils, and none of the containers were marked besides a couple of them. Overall, the food was decent, but it was a disappointing experience.

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Inside has been redone and it looks great. Food is exceptional. Presentation is nice and portions are large. Soice comes from mild to hot depending on your choice I believe it is the only one because it seems there is always management around. Drinks are reasonable and great flavors. Staff is so friendly and makes you feel welcome. Never had a bad meal and we go there at least once a month The restaurant is in the basement of a building but lighting is fine. It is great in the nice weather because there are two outdoor places to eat

this place was so good and worth the 30 min wait the staff was so kind and welcoming.
