Looking for an authentic Mexican taco joint? If so, check out La Estrella on N. Fair Oaks in Pasadena! A huge thanks to Ashlie Kai for the tip!

Day 80 of 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ brings us to La Estrella where folks claim you can get the best tacos in town. We’ve had many suggestions from our faithful 365 Things fans to feature this authentic, inexpensive Mexican treat!

Photos from Yelp.

La Estrella is a stationary taco truck that serves an affordable variety of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and drinks (you can even order a horchata!).

This place, being a fast food type joint, has only outside seating with a few cement tables.

BEWARE: They only accept CASH. If you forget, it’s okay though… because they conveniently have a ATM machine right by the place. 🙂

The carne asada, lengua, and fish tacos seem to be the top choices that keep people coming back for more!

Not only does the food taste authentic and fresh, it also is cheap. Tacos cost $1.10 each, except for their specialty fish tacos that cost $3.00, and sodas are $1.00. You can easily buy a meal here for less than $5 and be satisfied by the wonderful flavors!

Their service is said to be decent, but not spectacular. Lots of people have reported that they serve food super fast, which is good for us hungry folks!

Overall, this food truck fulfills a lot of expectations from its tender marinated meats, to its salsa, to its generous portions!

Make a drive out to this taco truck in Pasadena for some good, solid Mexican food.

A recent Yelp reviewer described La Estrella in one sentence: “You definitely will leave happy, without having to dig deep in your pockets.” What more can anyone ask for?

In tree-lined Northwest Pasadena, this stylishly updated home is a real estate unicorn: a light-filled Craftsman that feels both warm AND bright. Secluded behind oaks, agaves and a stately Mulberry tree, the artfully designed gardens here are both beautiful and sustainable with greywater irrigation. Follow flagstone steps on a permeable granite front path to find classic clapboard siding, elephantine column bases and solid 8-light front door with contemporary wood steps that marry modern organic stylings of the garden with the classic architectural elements of this special home. Inside, the front entry with its ribbon of double-hung sash windows and built-in window seat bench is inviting and practical for modern living. A generous living room, with coved ceilings, decorative stacked brick fireplace and dual-pane casement windows, also accomodates formal dining. The floorplan flows well here, with the sunny breakfast room and remodeled kitchen to the south, and private spaces to the north. Kitchen features marble subway tile backsplash, stone counters, stainless steel appliances and ample storage. A farmhouse sink with a leafy green view and Dutch door opening to the backyard dining deck make for happy everyday vibes. Bedrooms and baths are updated and relaxed, each bedroom enjoying its own bonus feature: access to the sunny north deck and garden; en-suite bath; or pretty views – the mountain vista from upstairs is great. The spacious primary suite with dual-sink marble vanity and rainhead shower is elegant and comfortable, but the spacious attached laundry may be the icing on the cake! Outside, gardens are private and shady with fragrant shrubs and native grasses, a sculptural tree aloe and split tree-trunk benches offering a spot for gathering. A heated plunge pool spa with sunning deck is ideal for quiet relaxation or morning yoga. Lastly, the one car garage with built-in workbench is a ready workshop, studio – the potential is endless. Located minutes from the buzzing Lincoln Avenue corridor (ice cream at Perry’s Joint or the patio at Good Neighbor Bar!), Altadena’s Christmas Tree Lane (the lighting this year is December 6!) and 10 minutes to the heart of old town Pasadena, this is a gorgeous property in a great location.
