"#152 La Estrellita Cafe is an easy pit stop for me--so close to the house. I like Mexican food sometimes, even though it's always a bit heavy. My partner wanted some Mexican cuisine the other night so I was game. We walked over and grabbed a table. Our server was really kind and bubbly. I love great service professionals. It makes the meal better for some reason. We began with the usual chips, salsa and guacamole. We both asked for drinks as well. Now, he was smarter than me and ordered a margarita. Me, on the other hand, went for my usual martini and it really was not the best idea. Heavy on the vermouth and light on the vodka. Also, there was an uninvited guest swimming in my glass--I wanted a twist, not an olive and a twist. #undrinkable That's okay, what did I expect? First, we came to eat, not drink. Second, the chips and salsa were amazing. We sat and chopped it up for a bit over our appetizer and his margarita before we dove into the dinner menu. I always, always, always eat way more than my tummy can handle at Mexican restaurants, so I was really trying to pace myself. My companion ordered the flautas and some extra chile verde salsa. I ordered this BIG burrito with sauce over top and lots of melted cheese. It was filled with rice, beans and more cheese. It really was delicious--what I could handle of it. I might have been able to eat 1/4 of that massive meal, but that was okay with me too, because I can just share the rest with my little brother later. #lovesleftovers All in all, La Estrellita Cafe has decent food, good service and fair prices. I just want to either teach the bartender how to make a killer martini or maybe just deviate from the usual martini and order a chilled shot of vodka. #livingontheedge Stephani Smiles for La Estrellita Cafe ; #burritobigenoughfortwo"
