    The search for good taco place in Pasadena goes on...

    First off, the customer service was horrible. She also didn't want to give us one more salsa verde (only giving us 3 after ordering 3 tacos, and a burrito)!

    The al pastor had a weirdly marinated, and the carne Asada had little flavor.

    I never thought I'd see a real life Bon Qui Qui until yesterday while going here to get my tacos. I really like the owner/boss lady that works here, she's cool people, but some of the employees they hire here are straight ghetto hoodrat, attitude and all.

    I never thought I'd see that character Bon Qui Qui off MADtv in real life, but yea LOL she works at Estrella lol, attitude and all.

    The tacos are good, the burritors too and some of the other stuff is good. But I really don't like coming here, because I don't want Bon Qui Qui all up in my business every time I order food here, making shady comments about what I order and how I look. I don't know you. You don't know me. Know your place and stay in your lane, and have some professionalism about yourself. I guess they are desperate here and probably don't pay a lot in wages, thus you have to deal with Bon Qui Qui's here and there.

    But I'm afraid to assert myself, because she looks like a gang banger that just got released from prison and is on parole and I don't want her shooting/stabbing me or something, just because I complained. Better to keep silent and just not come back anytime soon.

    So I think I'm going to play it safe and go to another taco place where the order taker isn't all up in my business, and making shady remarks about what I order. I love Bon Qui Qui on TV, but I don't want to deal with one in real life. ugh.

    The food is good Mexican place but the service sucks... they are not willing to make breakfast burrito at 10.53am because they stop serving breakfast at 11.Am.
    Does not make sense to me.
    The girls are not friendly at all, not even say Hi or good morning, they look mad or just looks like they are force to be working at this place.
    Bad attitude ruins your meal. I don't want to be in a poca like that.

    Went there for the first time the other day-passed it 1,000 times.

    Ordered a carnitas and an asada soft taco with the works.

    Freaking amazing.

    Thought they were a bit small but the two filled me right up. Can't wait to go back.

    Food was good but they forgot to give me my beans they charged me for. After a phone call they said they would honor me a credit for the money and trouble. That dropped me from a 3-4 down to a 2 star.
