Wonderful! Great food choices from the taqueria, made fresh to order. Small service butcher counter with lots of fresh meat options as well as salsas and cheese. The market side has a deep selection of snacks, spices, dry and canned goods, and even cooking equipment. This little shop is packed with everything you might be looking for from Central America. The owners and staff are nice, welcoming, and helpful. Will be back often!
I went yesterday because I needed some quick food and was surprised to find one of the best taco shops in the city. The tacos are amazing, staff is friendly, clean, and quick. I had to come back today for 4 more tacos. I highly recommend it. Try their hot sauce too.
So impressed! What they do here is perfection. Never was able to find a place like this in the Kansas City area
Love this place! Everything I have ever tried has been amazing. The salsas are great and the person taking orders is always so nice. I always recommend it to all of my friends visiting Lawrence.
Great tacos! But even better, their burritos! I cry everytime I finish it because its that good! Their salsas are also amazing! Theyll give you small cups of them, but they also sell bigger cups of the salsas. I usually go for the dark red salsa and the yellow/orange salsa.
Mi tienda favorita en Lawrence! The most authentic Mexican food you’ll eat in Lawrence!!!
Fantastic food and grocery store! The owners are very friendly and community oriented. They have done great research work in collaboration with the Douglas County Food Policy Council and KU. I highly recommend checking them out.
It gets no better in lawrence when it comes to authentic Mexican tacos. I cannot stress how good the entire menu is. I have tried it all and enjoy every bit of it. Owners are the friendliest people too! I go at least once a week. You must try!
I finally discovered another hidden jewel in lawrence.Impressed by well organized shelves and refrigerators.Imo it is the best place for tacos in lawrence.Friendly staffs.
I really enjoy going here. Sometimes it’s for snacks, drinks, or spices, but most of the time it’s for the tacos and tortas! There’s no other place I’d like to go for a soda, some Takis and an al pastor taco.
If youre looking for a more authentic style, this is some of the best food you can find. Easily my favorite tacos anywhere, the price is great, and the salsas are to die for. One of my top recommendations to anyone eating in Lawrence.
One of my absolute favorite spots in Lawrence. I love Mexican food and this place is amazing. Tacos, Burritos, Quesadilla...everything. So delicious! So happy we have such great place, serving Authentic Mexican cuisine in Lawrence. Friendly folks and service with a smile. Definitely a favorite! Thank you for being awesome!
Family-owned, local, diverse, and rich in authentic products and food. I think it’s the only authentic Latinx store/restaurant in town! Must try.
Great spot to catch a quick bite. Few tables so it may be difficult to get a seat. $1.89 for a Taco Asada and it was fresh as well as flavorful. Loved the three types of salsa. All different in terms of flavor and hotness.
I love it here. The food is great and the people are nice.
Literally the best quesadilla Ive ever had and its not close. A borderline religious food experience
Yeah....This is it Chief. Pretty much the most authentic tacos youre gonna find in the Lawrence area. If you love flavorful meats and great salsas, this is your place. Bonus: their register accepts NFC payments (Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Apple Pay) so if youre like me and use your phone to pay for everything, youre good to go here.
Best Street Tacos anyone could ask for in the area. Everyone is extremely friendly, and they are quick. I go every Tuesday that I possibly can. It is nice to have authentic Mexican in Lawrence.
A lovely family owns and runs this mini-super style convenience store and taco restaurant. I have lived in Mexico for 15 years and was delighted to find that they have some of my favorite products. Theirtacos are authentic street style and the best I have eaten in the US. Simply terrific!
We get tacos from La Estrella every week. This is the most authentic, most flavorful mexican food in town. I highly recommend!
My new favorite place. So fresh & delicious!
Amazing food and very friendly staff! If you like authentic Mexican food, you wont be disappointed! I also love that you can find specialty groceries for mexican dishes at home too! Muy beueno!!
WOW. 10 out of 10. Very pleased and will be back SOON! Carnitas tacos🔥 loved the market area too!
Amazing tacos and salsas, great grocery selection
I love this place the food is exceptional, I used to stop here on my delivery route. You wont find better or more authentic in Lawrence.
Best tacos ever!
This was my first time being at the restaurant, Im Hispanic myself whose fluent in Spanish, I came from a different town nearby and my husband suggested we should try it out. At first as we walked in we looked at the menu of course, deciding on what to eat as soon as we were about to order one of the cooks told us we have to pay first at the cash register. Which was fine but really? its a restaurant you order your food, get your food, then you pay right? Why change the process? How is this more convenient for you guys? Why would I also leave a tip before even receiving our food? I didnt see no waitress serving me or my family. Another thing is that I had told the lady at the cash register that I wanted my childrens tacos plain as well a torta of ham plain only cheese, ham, and mayo. The tortas are supposed to be giant because that what it says on the menu for $9. The torta is regular size my people, talk about over charge. Anywho back to the tacos that we received with onions and cilantro and the torta de ham with beans. My husband went to one of the cooks to ask if they can remove the cilantro and onions. The cook had the audacity to tell him that it wasnt on the receipt? It made my husband upset because he felt like the cooks were just trying to argue with him and making him feel like if hes better than them. Mind you my husband was speaking to them in Spanish, he had to ask the cook twice to remove the cilantro and onions off. Imagine if one of my kids was allergic to the onions or cilantro its a lawsuit awaiting to happened. The only good thing about this place is that they clean right away my daughter had dropped my soda of glass bottle and right away a cleaning lady came out to clean up the mess. For that I am thankful because I was embarrassed about it. Overall this place was not what we thought for a Mexican restaurant you get the feels of the employees just staring at you too hard.
As Mexican its hard to find good Mexican food in Kansas. In Lawrence La Estrella is the only place with authentic Mexican tacos and tortas (Subway style but much better). I go at least once a week.
I eat here at least 4 times a week. I wish I was joking, but thats seriously how good these tacos are. I would strongly recommend the carnitas tacos!
1st time eating at La Estrella. The Carnitas tacos were very good.. The green sauce tasted Sour as if it had been a couple days old and As far as the service by the chefs not impressed. Overall i will be sticking to shopping not eating
I miss my hispanic food from home and this is the place where I eat authentic tacos. They also have a great selection of Mexican candy and drinks. An awesome hidden gem in Lawrence.
I am changing my previous review because I actually went here again after they moved to their new place. My experience was better I just wish they offered more menu items & that all the employees spoke English because I had to wait til they could find the English speaking employee.
Best Mexican food I have ever eaten! The tacos were out of this world and very well priced!
Authentic Mexican food in every way. Newly discovered, I can not wait to return for more tacos and plan to buy our Mexican groceries for home consumption here. Forget the usual chain grocery store!
Amazing authentic food and grocery store. we are so lucky to have this place in lawrence.comida y tienda autentica. tenemos suerte.

Only place in Lawrence, KS for authentic (and amazing) Mexican fare. The menudo on the weekends is full of tripe, and the tacos habe actual Mexican classics, like pastor, lengua, and cabeza. Discount tacos on Tuesday. Local family-owned, by the most hardworking and kind people.
