La Estrella



Matt and I had been working in East LA for at least four years, passing by the little corner shack and thinking about eating there. The little building about a year ago turned a cobalt blue and looks fresher than years past. We finally made it to La Estrella, First Street just a block west of Soto Avenue, Boyle Heights. We each ordered the fish tacos and they were not only big and chunky but also filled with complex flavors including smokey red hot sauce. The chili buzz took at least an hour to go away. I highly recommend the blue box on the corner. They are related to the Estrella's in Pasadena on Foothill.

things have a habit of changing in LA. I reccomend giving this place try. I wonder if the hotdog place went somewhere else?
