The Scene
Situated in the sleepy Davis Island business district, it's the perfect place for nachos, burritos and many other Mexican favorites. Clean and cheerful inside, the patio is a prime people-watching spot.
The Food
In addition to the Mexican dishes that everyone knows and loves, Estela's serves house specials with a bold and spicy accent. Chile poblanos, pollo champerico and shrimp a la diablo (as in hot, hot, hot diablo) are some of the authentic recipes featured on the menu along with daily specials. Estela's is owned and operated by a family that takes great pride in the freshness of the food. In fact, your 100 percent satisfaction with food and service is guaranteed with every order of fajitas, ceviche (marinated shrimp with tomato, onion, and cilantro), enchiladas and more.

Not too bad if you don't mind paying $8.50 for a 6-8 ounce Margarita with no tequila in site. The (not so) happy hour allegedly included a free appetizer (the waitress said this was the reason for the high price). The appetizer was 4 shrimp shared by the whole table. To be fair, the entree was not too shabby as was the chips and salsa. Please be aware of the Dale Mabrey location's bar. Service was slow and unapologetic.

good quality mexican dishes, great happy hour with fishbowl margaritas. very nice patio, with good service and usually prompt seating. staff is mostly spanish but understands and communicates very well. would highly recommend, due to the very casual and laid-back davis island attitude.

My wife & I had a very good experience dining at Estela's on S Dale Mabry. We were seated promptly outside (as we requested) and had chips & salsa in no time. Our orders came quickly thereafter (chicken quesadilla & enchiladas), which were also very good. While not the best Mexican food we've ever had, the service & quality were worthy of a second visit. NOTE: though we were served alcohol while seated outside, we later learned that they don't have a license to serve alcoholic beverages outdoors .... our server's inadvertent mistake ... so, bear this in mind when sitting outside!
