Estrellas De Sinaloa

This review has been long due. When I want to eat the best torta in the bay area, this is were I go. Don’t be fooled by the location — Nice service, great Mexican food and good prices. It does not get better than that.

First time here. This place was awesome! Chicken nachos was bomb! My regular carne asada torta was close to the one I make at home. Nice view of you know what I mean. Friendly staff. Will return regularly before and after raider games. Thanks.

Went here b fore the A’S game, and got a carnitas burrito wife and me shared one and wow it was plenty. Carnitas were really good had a crisp to them wich made tthe burrito even better. plenty of everything. Recommend to anyone coming thus way. Expecially b fore the game. Dont be fooled by the place… might seem sketchy. With location and all, lady working their was really nice. And helpful thank you. Will b back.

Been comming here for a few years now… the service and food are always good. The portions are more than enough to have you full… I recommend the combo fajita plate. This is definantly a great place to go to sit down have some chips and salsa a beer and a god meal.

A good place to wait out the Warriors BART traffic, or in our case the MLK march. We had two tacos with rice and beans. Very good and very filing. A tip for vegans – i asked for tacos with nopales (cacti), an item I saw on the breakfast menu. Not sure whether the beans are vegan though.

Ummm wow! I’m not even done eating and I had to stop and write an awesome review! Great food, cheap prices, great staff. First time customer, I had a taco salad to go and it’s delicious! The area is super sketchy, but worth it. I will be back!

Looking for a quick bite before the Warriors game and decided to check it out. At first seemed a bit sketchy at night, but the food was some of most delicious Mexican I’ve had. Chicken fajitas and beef enchiladas. Yum. Really good chicken, large portions. We will be back for sure.

Whenever I start a new job, one of my first missions is finding the most authentic Mexican restaurant with minimal distance and effort (whether or not I can get coworkers to join me is another story).
Unilocal lead me to Estrellas de Sinaloa which is charmingly situated between a field of shipping containers and something to do with semi-​trucks. It was surprisingly empty on a Monday during lunch, but it was a little before noon so who knows.
Anyway, the woman at the counter was reasonably friendly and more importantly the carnitas was AMAZING. I got a super burrito (hold the sour cream) and could barely contain my joy with the crispy carnitas melding well with the rice, guac, beans and cheese. Great fresh hot sauce too!
They take cards which is much appreciated… my total was a little over $ 7 which seemed fair given the size of the burrito and quality of ingredients. My one gripe is the clear, lardy grease that oozed out with every other bite.

Ok, so my friend decided to ask the person helping us what she liked, normally something I never do because I feel like they’re trained to upsell.
He ordered the shrimp under her suggestion and mg. That is ridiculously good grilled shrimp. It had such a good and strong flavor. The bacon that they grilled alongside the shrimp was too good for words. It literally just had me wanting to consume his entire plate.
I had the super burrito, which is pretty standard fare, but cheap in comparison to what they could’ve charged me. Came with enchilada sauce and cheese melted on top. The lengua was tender and not too gamey. The mix of sour cream, guacamole and beans were not perfect so it started to taste a little redundant but that might have also been because the burrito was bigger than my forearm!
It’s a little strange and there were trucks coming in and out of the little parking lot that it shares with the truck stop but if you needed a quick fix, don’t hesitate!
Oh yes, our entire meal was under $ 15 and the waitress was super friendly and nice to us :)
They take credit cards!

Located next to a truck/​semi stop is small restaurant which is very easy to miss. Estrella De Sinaloa is a hidden jewel to a few of us that’s serves good authentic Mexican food. I’ve actually never eaten inside. I always order take out. My favorite on the menu are the chicken tortas/​sandwich which include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, mayonnaise and jalapeños.
The burritos and the Campechana which is a platter of rice, refried beans, tortillas and 7 different kinds of seafood that I can’t remember off the top my head lol
The restaurant itself may not look fancy or elegant like we’re accustomed to but you’ll get your money’s worth. Decent price and good portions.
I’m aware that there are not enough of food pictures but I will do my best to upload more.

I had heard about this place from a friend of mine. She had a very good view for this restaurant so we decided to try it out too during one of my weekends. I must say it did not disappoint us. We ordered some salsa, taco salad and enchiladas. I alone finished the entire taco salad as it was so delicious. The enchilada with chicken was equally good. Since my friend was still hungry and shocked at my appetite he ordered the chimichangas. Well unfortunately he did not share it with me but praised the dish a lot. We didn’t order specialty drinks, just coke.
The service was good and really fast as my friend had mentioned. We were done with our food within 30 minutes of being seated. It was superfast considering it was a weekend and the restaurant was decently crowded. The décor was nothing very great though quite minimal and not loud.

This place is frustrating — incredibly iffy. Sometimes it’s quite good (I only get tacos, so bare that in mind), other-​times not so good.
Today it wasn’t. The tacos had far too much meat. Totally ruined the balance, not enough salsa, onions etc. And the carnitas were over-​cooked.
There are several taco trucks around here with consistently good tacos, so I doubt I’ll be back…

This is one of those restaurants that you’d never pay any attention to, so I thank my dear husband for discovering this jewel for me. The location is pretty close to Coliseum BART, but I usually pass it whenever I go to it, mostly because it’s right next to a truck stop? A tire shop?
It’s definitely not haute cuisine, not one of those pan-​Latin spots. What they serve is authentic Mexican fare. No one has yet written a review probably because most of the folks that eat here don’t speak much English. But this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Town. I am a fan of the humble cheese enchilada. Most of the time, I go to a restaurant that loves to drench the enchilada in a gallon of ranchero or verde sauce. Not here. There’s very little sauce on the enchilada, which allows the flavors to shine through, yet it’s also not dry – very moist. I can tell when my husband goes to any other restaurant – the enchilada just doesn’t compare! They give you a choice of whole or refried beans, rice, plus a pretty substantial salad. My husband gets the chimichanga and he says it’s great!
The staff never treats us like we’re «less than» simply because we are not Latino. They are totally friendly, and our order is always correct. I just feel like they take the time to get our meals right.
I have to mention the fruit salad. Last time I was there, I saw a bunch of whole fruit. Come to find out they also make the most wonderful fruit salad. The owner cuts up oranges, papaya, mango, banana, apples, pineapples and you can add yogurt, granola, coconut, etc. It’s the best darn dessert/​breakfast/​snack ever. I had enough to last me two days.
In fact, apparently, we’re eating there tonight! So give this place a try if you want to have tasty, homespun traditional Mexican.
