Estela

I was celebrating my birthday week and Estela was the final restaurant we dined at before our departure. The food, service and staff were absolutely amazing! Thank you to our waitress and Chef Abel for making our experience one we will never forget.

First time here and absolutely loved it! Loved the outdoor deck seating. Excellent cocktails. And we LOVED the food. For apps we had Brussels sprouts, ceviche and salad - all the flavors were wonderful! The we had steak and catch of the day, both fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Finished with desert (flourless chocolate cake and their take on tembleque) and continued to be impressed! The staff were absolutely a pleasure - Andy, Camilla, bartender Josh (I Think) and a couple others that I didn’t get their names. We also enjoyed spending a few minutes chatting with Chef Abel. We will be back!

We ordered Brussels sprouts, which were ok, a steak which had chimichurri (supposedly) but was a reinvented version, which was not so good and the steak was just ok - bit expensive $56 (120g) and 2 martinis. The food was not spectacular and the place looked very layback nothing special for atmosphere. Had some music and the whole time we could hear someone in the kitchen playing YouTube on their phone which was very disturbing tbh. Our waitress was lovely. And menu is super limited.

If there’s a place that truly deserves to be recognized among the best dining spots, it’s undoubtedly Estela de Rincón. From the first bite to the last sip, every detail of this experience was impeccable. The “Steak of the Day” featured a spectacular ribeye, perfectly cooked and accompanied by delicious eggplant skewers, soaked in milk and fried to perfection. My choice, the duck breast, was cooked to absolute perfection and served with a mash of sweet potato and another of apple, both so smooth they practically melted in my mouth. The drinks elevated the evening even further: • A refreshing mix of hibiscus vodka, lemon juice, and ginger infusion. • An elegant Rum Old Fashioned, with aged rum, Angostura, orange bitters, and a rosemary infusion. To end on a high note, a Key Lime Pie Brûlée that was simply spectacular. Beyond the food, what makes Estela truly special is the warmth of its team and the chance to chat with Chef Abel, whom we’ve been visiting since 2018. A great human being—humble and passionate about his craft—whose dedication and consistency continue to elevate our local cuisine. As long as my body allows, I will keep coming back to Estela de Rincón. Thank you, Abel, for creating unforgettable experiences!

From beginning to end, this was truly a divine experience. The restaurant itself has a lovely ambiance. The waiter was wonderful, providing impeccable service throughout the evening. The food was nothing short of exquisite—each dish bursting with flavor and creativity. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked, and the hummus was incredibly unique. The rum old fashioned was a delicious cocktail that complemented the meal beautifully. To top it all off, the chef came out to personally explain my outstanding dessert, making the evening feel even more special. This wasn’t just a dinner; it was an unforgettable experience.
