This place just treated me with hostility and unkindness. Waitress was rude and uninviting. I asked for an order of enchiladas, but instead of cheese, I asked for steak and chicken. She said, they do come like that, they only come with cheese.
Despite how I asked, they were unwilling to upgrade the protein, even with an extra charge.
I have never in my life gone to a Mexican restaurant, that would not substitute an ingredient on an Enchilada.
I asked to speak to the owner, we didn't care one bit. The waitress very rudely corrected me on the drink that I had. She asked, what did you have to drink? I said, in Spanish, "Coka de dieta". She, in an arrogant tone said, "That's a Pepsi." WHAT DOES IT MATTER!? Other than being rude to a customer, what does it matter?
In my opinion and experience, this place lacks in customer service. I was told the enchiladas were "pre made". Premade? Who does that? I was told that the waitress was not rude.
I don't understand this business model. I don't recommend this place. They seem to be, from my perspective, too comfortable with their clientele.
They seem to be a Faith based location. The Bible says that if a place doesn't accept you, to leave and kick off thier dust front your shoes because their dust isn't worthy of you.
Well, I made sure not to allow their dust...

Food: The red salsa that's served with chips had some heat. It didn't take much salsa before I was putting down water. It was possibly the spiciest regular salsa I've had. We had cheese dip and added pico at our server's recommendation, which was delicious. 5/5 for the cheese dip. I had the Tacos NorteƱos for dinner, with two different types of meat. The tacos were served with tomato, onions, cilantro, and a slice of avocado on top. The tacos didn't have quite as much flavor as other places I've been, but they were still good, and I'd order them again.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere was clean and modern. Mostly white, with some orange color on the chairs. It was a departure from expected Hispanic restaurant decor, but not in a bad way. The restaurant was clean too.
If you find yourself in Ulysses Kansas, La Estrella is worth your time...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreService was great, food was not. The chips were so stale that they were inedible. We each were only able to take one bite. I ordered two tacos rice and beans. The tacos had plenty of meat and was seasoned a little bit. But it tasted just like the "Mexican" that I made myself earlier in the week. You know, ground beef and a tortilla. My wife had the tostada. It was soaked in grease. The lettuce was literally glistening. She took a few bites and made a face. She kept trying to eat it making faces with each bite. Eventually she gave up. I thought maybe she was exaggerating. I took a bite and almost spit it out. It tastes like the tortilla was a week old and then refried in cold oil. It's sad when you have to make a trip to McDonalds after eating at a restaurant and the McDouble is the best food you have...
