Estela Restaurant

Great ambience, food and live band. Staffs are friendly, too. Love the Buffalo Wings, Cream Pesto, Beef Salpicao, Blueberry Cheesecake and Oreo Cake.

We love the place. The interior is nice and the restroom is clean. Tonight's our 2nd visit after the Insanithink show. Food is good and reasonably priced. This resto is perfect if you want to spend time with some family and close friends. We will definitely come back to try other items on their menu (especially the salpicao).

Had my sudden birthday dinner here since it’s near our place. Even though it’s a bar, I can consider it as family friendly. Just like the other reviews, I can attest as well to their excellent customer service wherein they were very accomodating (from the guard to the waiter). Price wise, it might be a bit pricey but the serving is good for sharing (for 2-3 persons depending on how big your appetite is) so I can say that it’s worth it. We ordered Gambas (they were kind enough not to put spices in order for my son to eat it), Salmon with Veggies and Java Rice and Sizzling Squid with Cheese. I love the Gambas. I also love the tenderness of the Sizzling Squid plus the combination of Cheese, Onion, Tomato but I don’t like the ginger after taste. The Salmon was quite bland for me even with the Lemon Butter Sauce but it was a thick cut of Salmon. I was almost tempted to order Crispy Pata but decided not to since we cannot consume all of it. Initially, was planning to order Salted Egg Pasta but eventually switch to Gambas since my son prefers tomato based sauce with his shrimps. Hope they can open during lunch time. Will definitely go back to taste their other food most especially their best sellers.

Looking for Resto in Cainta area for family gatherings or meet-up with friends. This is a good place to dine in. Sharing my top faves: 1. Crispy Pata - who does not love Crispy Pata? All time fave of Filipino. 2. Roast Chicken Ala Estela - I love the juiciness of the chicken. Sobrang nanunuot ang lasa sa meat ng chicken. 3. Double Porkchop - I love the sauce of the porkchop. 4. Lucban Pasta - Lucban longganisa itself is my fave then combined it in white pasta. It compliments with the pasta very well. 5. Salted Egg Pasta - I am a big fan of Salted Egg talaga. So what I love here is the taste of the salted egg na nagco-compliment parin with the pasta. SHErap to pair it with their cocktails. 6. Tacos - Also my fave. And kahit medyo natagalan bago kainin masarap parin sya. Sobra akong nag enjoy dito. I think ako halos ang kumain. Also best paired with their cocktails. I like the simplicity of the place. But please sana hindi nyo hinire ung nag audition na band on that day na nag dine-in kami kasi ang loud ng music nila. Not appropriate for the place. I really love the painting in your Comfort Room. The staff are very accommodating especially the Manager. He is visiting us from time to time to check if we enjoyed the food.

When you go find a restaurant, you would want that taste to be
lasting and memorable. most espeically if you went there with a group of special
friends and/or family members. This is one of those perfect places where you can
do that, memorable food and a place for making good memories.

(F)ood:
Comfort food, Filipino food with simple twists

Crispy Pata - we took photos for at least an hour and after that the skin was still
crispy! The meat was so tasty that you don't even need sauce. their sauce is a simple soy sauce
and spice which adds flavor to the crispy pata.

Roast Chicken Ala Estela - I was suprised by how tasty and tender this chicken was!
For sure you will also love this chicken.

Lucban Pasta - if you are a fan of the lucban quezon pasta, then this pasta is for you.
Love it for the amount of ingredients in the pasta and

Pan Seared Salmon Steak - a big piece of yummy salmon! love it! would defeinitely come back for more!
the meat was well cooked, you know how you could easily overcook salmon, and perfect with that white sauce

Double Porkchop - love the sauce but the porkchop is not that tender, maybe a little
overcooked?

You should also try their drinks and thirst quenchers!

(A)mbience:
The facade is a plus! It looks like a barn from outside which spells out hominess. It looks like
someone's house inviting you to come in for a friendly neighbor barbecue.  There is a parked car
outside where you can take a picture with that adds up to the ambience. But inside, it's just your typical
restaurant but what sets it apart is there is a stage for performers or for you and your friends
if you just want to sing your heart out. Unfortunately, there was a rock band audition while we were there
so it was quite loud while we were there.

(B)utler Service:
No problem whatsoever with the service. Even the manager on duty was serving us and
taking care of our needs :)
