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...
Read moreService: The service was phenomenal. Our server found the perfect balance of being at our table when needed without feeling overbearing. I wish I could remember her name so I could give her a shout-out!
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 Norteños 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...
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...
