Estefani's Restaurant

I had the carne asada meal. This meal brought me back to the past. My heart was happy. I grew up eating this same meal my adolescent and adult life. It has been a while since having such a meal but I enjoyed every minute. Gracias!!!!

Good food and drinks. For a single person at a bar they added gratuity

I loved the birria tacos. They were accommodating to my two year old and put us at the table with the couches. The steak had a great taste a little dry but over all was good. The beans were really good. The flights always could of been stronger. I will go back again.

Nice place with an almost club like feel. The staff greeted my 2 teenage children and I as we arrived and we were promptly seated. The waitress brought out complimentary chips and salsa. I had the birria torta, my daughter had the birria ramen, and my sun had the traditional Venezuela plate. The food was quick to arrive and was very tasty. We finished up with dessert I had fried ice cream and the kids had tres leches cake. Of course these were delicious as well. Will likely go back soon.

Loved the food and everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. I went for dinner with my 13 year old, we didn't have a reservation and we were able to be seated right away. I first started with the margarita flight, I love that they do that so you can sample 4 different flavors, my favorite was passionfruit. My son loved the idea so we asked if he could get a juice flight and they did it with no questions asked. For an appetizer we tried the Elotes ( Mexican street corn on the cob) it was delicious. ( Be sure to specify if you want spicy or not) My son ordered fajitas and said they were really good, I had the Barria Tacos and they were great. We were already full but had to try a dessert so we went with the Fried Ice Cream and it was delicious.

Medium burger this is not! Its a hockey puck. Super well done. It was my kids meal. The waitstaff is nice, the food is amazing. I've never had a mistake with my orders. Anything Birria is great, the rice and beans are really good. Kids meals are great. My kids love them.

Let me start out by saying the R&B brunch was the BEST time I have had in a long time. Will definitely be going back. Dont really do Lynn, just because its out of the way for me. My family is Honduranian so the food was BOMB and tasted like home. Drinks were amazing, absolutely recommend getting the flight. DJ Lumi was AWESOME on the 1s & 2s, he definitely creates a vibe that is unmatched. Only concerns, parking is meh, but you can find it. Its quaint but doable and they could use a little more help - staff is great it just gets busy and you can wait a bit. Would recommend they provide you with a small plate to nibble on while your drinking and waiting for your food. Lastly you must pay a fee when making a reservation (only $5 per person) no big deal.

Love the foood amazing service, yesterday I went with my partner and had dinner there I ordered barría fries and the meat had FAT in it a lot of it . And real greasy my meal .

So much I can say about Estefanis Restaurant in Lynn! The atmosphere is always 10/10 Whether it's going out for drinks and apps or just going out for a nice dinner Estefanis is where it's at! The service is always top tier and when the owner is there she always pops in to make sure you're enjoying everything that's always a plus definitely recommend if you're in the area. The drinks are TOPP TIER my personal favorite is the Mexican lolipop shot 10/10

my party and I made reservations for Sunday at 11 am for brunch. there was hispanic music playing over the speakers and LED flashing lights on the ceiling that were going nonstop. my group ordered a mix of food from their brunch menu and regular menu. The pupusas were slightly burnt and hard, the chips are really thin, and the salsa was pretty bland. The horchata had an odd after taste too. It took a really long time to put in our order because our waitress barely came over to our table. She was very nice but the service could have been better especially since there weren't many people in there. At 12 pm, their DJ started playing and the music increasingly got louder and louder, we had a pretty big party so it was hard to hear each other without yelling. I love hispanic music but this was a lot for a Sunday at 12 pm - the place definietely has a vibe and could be fun if that's what you're looking for! we got our main courses after 2 hours of being there. The waffle was so dry and hard, it was inedible and I had to send it back. I don't usually send food back but this was something I couldn't get down And I ordered the birria tacos instead since they were the best thing on the menu. The size of them was okay, the flavor of the taco and consume was lacking, but they came out pretty fast. I might try this place again if I'm looking for a place to turn up and drink, but will not be ordering any food

Experience 3/5 Overall the experience was okay. Personally, I would not travel outside of Boston for this restaurant since there are restaurants with similar vibes in Boston. However, it is a good option if you're in the area and want to go to a restaurant with loud music and flashing colored lights. It just seemed a bit odd to be dining with such loud club-like music and colored lights on a weekday at a restaurant outside of the city that was mostly empty. Service was fine. Food 3/5 Food was fine, but not spectacular. I initially came here because it looked good, however it appears as though the food looks better in pictures and on tiktok than its actual tastes. Pretty average food and average taste considering this spot has Boston prices.

Second time I've ordered from here and I've really wanted it to be better. The takeout service was friendly and relatively quick. I ordered pupusas, horchata, chicken tacos and birria French fries for a group. Pupusas were genuinely really good and super hot and fresh. Horchata was not very good and was pretty bland. Chicken tacos were mediocre at best and lacked flavor. Birria French fries were the biggest disappointment. From the time I left Estefanis and got to my home nearby, the avocados in the guacamole had browned on top of the fries. I never checked to see if it was brown to start, I'm just assuming that's what happened. French fries were soggy. When I hear birria I think moist gravy with the tender meat. This was pretty much just regular meat on top of the French fries without everything that makes birria- birria. Over all the food came to 36 dollars and I sadly felt like the majority of it (really everything besides the Pupusas) was a waste of money. The inside has such potential! There are tasty drinks advertised on the wall and a dining area with lights that seems like it could easily be used for dancing. The creative menu, drink selection and ambiance all seem great! I just wish the food quality delivered what it promises.

We got 2 pupusas and the birria tacos. The chips were alright. Loved the LED lights. Service was subpar, but they were closing soon. Check it out for some yummy food

Gave this place a try after hearing so many good things about the birria tacos and I was so disappointed. The meat was super fatty and only the outer shell was fried so the tacos were a bit soggy. The carne asada fries were also super disappointing. The fries were so thin and cold. The margaritas were very sugary so I had to constantly mix them just to drink it. The restaurant is not bad inside. They have a bar, plenty of seating, and flashing LED lights. Do not come after 7pm for a date. They have a live DJ which is cool but the music gets so loud you can barely have a conversation. The service wasn't terrible, but if you don't ask for water or napkins you won't get it. Parking is not great. There's a ton of one hour parking, but if you get lucky you can find a spot across the street. I'd say save yourself the drive and get birria tacos in east Boston instead.

Yeah no... Dry and burnt pupusa The tacos were bad too super upsetting since I always order out from this spot

I dream of their birria tacos. Hands down the freaking besttttt. Just writing this review makes my mouth water.

The fact that everybody has complained about the extremely loud music and they're still not changing is disappointing. They blast music at all times and even bring in a dj, customers yelling at each other to try to have a conversation and the waitress can't even hear you when you talk to them. This is not the type of ambiance I need before 7pm, but I assume there are people who want club vibes while trying to have brunch. Now onto the food, we made a reservation for brunch (can't believe they make you pay to make a reservation on Opentable, never seen that in my life BUT you do get the money back) and it was good, no complaints. We had nachos, birria tacos, chicken & waffles + birria fries and everything had good flavor and so was the mimosa and horchata. The waitress was nice but she never checked on us, just to bring the food and the check and would go missing for very long even when the restaurant wasn't busy yet. Older folks would not enjoy this, maybe if you want to go get drunk but the chances of me going back are very slim. Oh and they had a security guard walking around with vape in hand lol like what do they need a security for? Is this place ghetto?

Estefani's offers many Mexican, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan specialties and the owner is Guatemalan and Salvadoran. It's definitely a popular restaurant--my friends and I went around 5 on a Monday and by the time we left, it was packed. The food is very good; the drinks and service are not. Our server, while somewhat friendly, was completely clueless. We had long waits for service and he couldn't answer basic menu questions, such as what type of margaritas come on the flight. He also couldn't understand that we wanted to split what we ordered. He also couldn't understand that two of us were doing separate to-go orders to take home to our families. It was just not good. We each ordered a margarita flight. The margaritas are very strong, but they are super sweet and from mixes. I had a headache after the first sip. None of us finished our flights, which is extremely unlike us. The woman at the next table actually sent her drink back. The food was great. We ordered maduros, birria tacos, yuca con chicharron, and garnachas Guatemaltecas. I don't eat maduros, so I can't comment on those. The yuca con chicharron was tasty, but the menu states that it comes with cabbage salad, so I was expecting either cabbage or curtido; neither ever appeared, and I knew it was pointless to ask the server. The chicharron was crisp and the yuca was perfectly cooked. I'd never had garnachas before but they were so delicious (think mini, crispy sopes) and I could eat a plate of those anytime. Birria tacos were excellent and the consomme was rich. I thought the chips and salsa were a bit bland. I got chicken enchiladas to-go for my dad and stepmother and I tried the beans and chicken, which were great. It's pretty inside, but in using the restroom, we found that the toilets were extremely low. Like, uncomfortably so, and I've never experienced anything like that. So weird and inaccessible. Unless you were looking for something you can't easily find elsewhere, such as birria tacos and garnachas Guatemaltecas, Estefani's probably isn't worth a drive or special trip. But if you live nearby, I'd highly recommend takeout (definitely do not eat inside, especially as a fight almost broke out at the tables next to us) and I look forward to getting takeout next time I am in town.

Amazing food and great service. And the vibe on the weekends is amazing. Get some friends and go get a mimosa tower and some birria quesadillas you wont regret it.

I give the service 100/10! The flautas and birria tacos are my go to whenever I go there. Love the drinks and always feels like a vibe whenever I go. This is definitely the spot to go to if you want to have a good time at brunch! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This place definitely has a vibe. I wouldn't say a vibe that suitable for families or small children. The music is so loud I was deaf for about an hour after leaving. The wait staff, and bartender Seem to have been hired for their looks.. Some are smoking hot ... Lots of beautiful people and eye candy. Seemingly catering to a younger crowd the food is good, no complaints with food. The drinks are a little on the pricey side I do recommend making a reservation, or run the risk of either not getting a table, or getting a table undesirable to anyone else that you will regret sitting at. Overall, the food is good, it has a party/night club vibe even of the middle of the day. The drinks are strong and the service is decent.

What a FUN place with GREAT food! I LOVE the fajitas...and the drinks are to die for. Try a margarita flight. You get to choose from like 9 flavors!! Yummm!! The owners are often here and are so nice and want you to have fun. Come & practice your Spanish, try some authentic (not chain restaurant) food & have a drink. The music is always lively. And they have a great brunch with a mimosa tower! I'm going to keep coming back over and over again!

Yikesssss I went here with a group of friends and the environment was IMMEDIATELY hostile as we walked in( literally everyone was staring at us like we were crazy, and there weren't really any other Black folk in there, take with that what you want!) We sat for about 10 minutes with no help or even utensils so we took our business elsewhere. The owner barely acknowledged us as we walked out. They missed out on great business because we were so excited to try the food.

This much guac was $8. It's barely 2 bites. I also got the smallest flan for $6.50. Everything was super expensive and just not good enough. $8 por la porción más pequeña posible de guacamole. $6.50 por un flan igual de diminuto. Super caro y no muy bueno.

This place is honestly a taste of home with an authentic flare and vibe. Been coming here consistently for a few months now and each and every week it has not disappointed once. The food quality is consistent and elevated each and every week. Music and vibes, I could write a book as to how good the DJs are and the vibe this place has. The only unfortunate part is parking but that is completely out of the control of this establishment. Huge shoutout to the staff, DJs and team that work at this place. It is always busy and nobody there will you ever see, provide service without a smile and attention to details, it all starts with leadership and when an owner is fully involved and not afraid to get their hands dirty, that tells you how important teamwork and culture is to this place. Cheers to many years! Keep it going.

They left behind one of our drinks and didn't even provide the salad that goes with the dish nor did they provide the sauces that go with the dish I only decided to receive delivery after the rudeness they showed when I went to pick up my takeout numerous times. I'm only giving them a star or two because the food was OK really dry without the sauce that should have come with the plate.

After seeing all the amazing videos on social media me and my group of friends decided to drive the hour and see what it was all about. We were excited to be trying birria tacos for the first time. Let me just say it wasn't what we expected -in a bad way. First before we ate seating they changed our tables twice and the party they loved us for never even arrived. We had a younger waiter could've been new but he came to the table maybe 4 times throughout our entire meal. 1. To take our orders. 2. To bring our orders. 3 to bring the check. 4 picking up the check. Never checked on us when our food arrived just delivered it and left. The service is 2/10 for me. Location 2/10 sketchy as hell unless you are from there. Food was a solid 5/10. The street corn was our favorite but everything else was off. The shrimp tacos are laughable they put 15 mini salad shrimps cased in sazon (they were ORANGE) lol it didn't look appealing at all. At the end of the night we noticed our bill was over by $2 they tried to explain that that's how their system works. We also seen there was an automatic gratuity for all parties (no matter the size) we don't mind paying it but give us the service that equals the tip!! Now we went Friday night. I received two pending transactions from them. One was mine ($67.30) the other $269 and every-time I call they are trying to figure it out. No one knows anything it's all BS. Go at your own accord but I would suggest to bring cash so you don't have to deal with what I'm going through currently. Over all food was okay definitely not worth the stress of having a random 269 charge and it's going on a full week with no notice and no reason why it was ever applied.

This was definitely worth drive if you're in the north shore area! We ordered on a Friday night for take out and was quoted 20 minutes-- we ended up arriving in 30 minutes or so and didn't have to wait too much. The front staff was super slow considering the restaurant wasn't too busy. We over ordered, but we do not regret it. We ordered the following: -Birria Tacos ($14) -Chicken Burrito ($9) -Elotes Locos Spicy ($8.75) -2 Pupusas- chicharron y queso ($5.50) -Tortas- torta de pollo ($9.50) -Yucca fries ($5.50) This was the first birria tacos we've ever had and it was delicious! They were a little stingy with the dipping sauce, but it got the job done. The chicken burrito was ginormous and super flavorful.. It had it all. The spicy elotes were way too over cooked and a waste of $9. We could barely finish one out of the two because it was super mushy and it lacked its characteristic sweet taste. The pupusas were good, but we've had better. The tortas was super soggy and wasn't as enjoyable if it was fresh or packaged differently. Lastly the yucca fries were a huge hit!! We wished they were sliced a little thiner but still super yummy. We ended up throwing them in the air fryer when we got home since they were a bit soggy and it was a hit!! Overall, this was a delicious meal!! We would highly recommend this place if you're in the north shore area. Is it worth the drive from south shore or Boston? Probably not. There is not parking lot. Only off street parking in a busy area.

I love it here!!!! If you're looking for amazing food, great vibes and a restaurant staff that graciously caters to your needs, what are you waiting for?! This is the spot. Flights, mimosa towers and energy are a surplus here. Can't wait to go back!

Great food & great vibe! I would recommend the birria tacos & steak burrito with sweet plantain inside!

The ambience is lively and they bring in a DJ for brunch, drinks are good. The staff were friendly. The place has iconic Latin artists painted on the wall as murals. However the food is so disappointing. The concept was nice to have a mix of Latin foods but meat was mostly fat on two dishes, churros waffles were over fried and hard, super dry, even with the maple syrup, was more a clump of hard fried dough. The carne asada fries were more than half of fat in the meat, after the 3rd chewy piece I started sorting through the fries and saw if it wasn't all fat, it was a tiny cube of meat with fat. I can appreciate meat with fat, but this was too much. I took it home but at the end no one wanted to eat it after seeing it was mostly all fat. Save yourself $15 on overly priced fries and get something else. We were there for a good time so we made the best of the atmosphere and the mimosa tower. Our party of 6 adults did not recommend the food and our 21 month old who loves waffles wouldn't eat these, just the fries and a plantain that my sister didn't eat. If you're looking for a good culinary experience, I'd save it for other places down the street with much better food. But if it's for drinks and the vibe, this is good for that. My tip is that if it is to save money, most people would much get a smaller portion for quality food rather than getting poorly made. I'd like to see it stay there's not a lot of cool places like this, but needs improvement on the food.

I tried the birria tacos here & I can tell you it's worth the hype! The staff were also friendly and made recommendations on the menu (it was the birria of course)

It was my first time visiting Estefani's restaurant. I went on a Sunday, and it was very busy but I was so impressed that although busy our food/drinks came out quickly and our server was still extremely attentive! Not only was the service great but the food was also great! By far best pupusas I have had in the area! I must also mention, the espresso martini was also delicious and came with churros on the side. Highly recommend!!!

We ordered a large meal to go and everything was delicious. We had the pica pica wings which were definitely spicy, not recommended for those with a low spice tolerance but very tasty. The birria tacos were significantly better than a different restaurant we first tried them from, the broth on the side was delightful. As always, the pupusas were served hot and fresh. The steak and cheese burrito was huge and incredibly filling. The supreme fajita combo was huge and is highly suggested to be split between 2 people at least. My favorite protein of that dish was the shrimp, which were massive and fresh, then the chicken and lastly the steak as it was kind of dry. The montanero dish is also large with a huge strip of chicharron. Not a single complaint of that whole order. Already made reservations to dine in!

Okay so I've been coming here on a more consistent basis to get Birria Tacos.. because they're my new found fav. Here is my honest updated review: It is a hit or a miss with the birria tacos. I think it really depends on who is making them that day. Sometimes you get the tacos and they are made with love and filled with meat and just the right amount of cheese and some days you get them and there's just too much cheese and not enough meat. For the price of the 3 tacos, you would hope to always get a good balance. However, this is the best consume sauce I've had hands down. It is super flavorful and thick which is really nice. The service is always okay. They are nice people, I'm in and I'm out. Food is ALWAYS hot and fresh so that is a big PLUS. I recommend them to everyone.

This was the WORST EXPERIENCE I've ever had. This was on mother's day at that. Booked a table for 6 people, ordered $70 worth of drinks. Ordered $100 worth of food. And ALL OF THE FOOD came back COLD AND SOGGY. IT WAS DISGUSTING. We waited 1 hour for our food and yet all of it was cold as if it had been sitting in the window. We asked to speak to a manager. No manager available, was expected to wait while someone called a manager on the phone... they expected us to still pay for the food... no manager in site. Customer service is AWFUL. Please do not believe Instagram. This place is a catfish.

Excellent food and fun ambiance. Great service as well. It has become more of a lounge now which is fine.. I just order take out. Still great.

Hands down the best vibes in the area. From authentic Latin food to Sunday brunch to mimosa towers, Estefanis has all you can ask for. A true hidden gem.

If you're not there on the regular than what are you doing, this is where good vibes and amazing food take place so come through

Gross food. No service. Overpriced drinks. Music blasting at volume 100 at 7pm. Avoid.

Food is on point, especially the beef burritos. The Birria tacos are an interesting take on the Jalisco classic. We found the ratio of cheese to meat off-putting and the consume is more of a spicy sauce than a broth. If you dine in, be warned the music is ridiculously loud for such a small place. We saw the warnings about the loud music but didn't think it was that bad, it is that bad!

Food is great. There is always some theme you can get a reservation for. Brunches are packed. The service is nice. Music is loud and current. Beautiful establishment

First Time dining at this venue. Wow excellent !! It is tucked in on the corner of Union Street. Beautiful, exciting decor. Toe tapping music to dine to. Stephanie daughter and Tony her father the owner of Estefani's are excellent hosts/ owners Salsa and chips to start to the Fajitas for 2 for lunch is outstanding presentation of food and taste is excellent Huge menu For all to enjoy My friend and I had wings to start and they were fabulous super hot to taste super moist wings house margaritas huge awesome As I said it is our first time here and I am super super happy Will dine here again Enjoy Gina

Had to call waitress three times to get serve, order, get the bill. She gave me the finger twice saying she was coming. They also automatically charge you the tip so don't try to passively aggressively tip low because of their shitty service because they already have your tip either way lol

Too noisy! No brunch menu. Ordered chicken thighs with peppers, onions, tomatoes. Got chicken breast. Salad w/o salad dressing. Cocktail was good! I'll probably give it another try.

My wife and I went to Stephanie's yesterday for the first time I was the day before Mother's Day so she had a pre-lunch with me she got the quesadilla and I got the three taco combo, let me tell you everything was delicious and spot on I never had a mango margarita that I love so much and even my wife said their house margarita was the best she's had we've had Mexican food from here to California so take it from me when I tell you you have to try this place out parking is a little tough but you'll find a place soon give it a try what are you got to lose everything's fresh everything's to order and everything's in front of you they can't do enough to please you very satisfied recommending four stars

Went yesterday for a late lunch as usual like all past experiences food was great drinks good as well. Service is great even though they were busy food still came quick waitresses continued to check on us regularly not like At some restaurants where it's busy and you hardly see the waitstaff. Probably be there later today for lunch with my co worker

Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, brunch and dinner. The drinks and food are delicious ! Everything I had ordered was so tasteful and perfectly seasoned. The ambiance was amazing with great music and super friendly staff. The owners are super sweet and humble. They came to our table and thanks us for coming. I will definitely come back .

Estefani's restaurant has definitely left me head over heels.. This is a new Latin restaurant in Lynn that serves authentic Central American food. There was such a beautiful atmosphere and friendly people. There's nothing more I love than a local restaurant, especially so close to home. The Plato Montañero is a Colombian plate served w. grilled steak, pork rinds, fried egg, fried plantain, rice, beans & house salad. The steak was juicy & seasoned to perfection *chef's kiss*. The Mar y Tierra was so yummy as well. The shrimp was definitely bussin' & you just can never go wrong with some Mexican corn either! I was too full for dessert but next time I'm definitely trying the Mexican fried ice cream next time. All of the flights are a must-have and the drinks are great. Last but not least, they have a 3 Liter Mimosa Tower that is totally worth it! Disclaimer: If you're going to try the pica pica wings, make sure you can handle heat, because they are hot af no lies are being told here!!! Parking: There isn't a parking lot but street parking isn't bad at all COVID-19 Safety Precautions: QR code's to access menus, staff wore masks, cleaning protocol, & tables were spread out.

This restaurant has the best Sunday brunch I've ever had. The atmosphere is fun and the food is even better.

Fast delivery, fair prices, and authentically delicious. I recommend the Birria. The spicy stew is really a super flavorful broth. The shells on the tacos are crispy, chewy, and light. The meat was super tender too. Also, the delivery driver was very polite and professional. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

Jayden was an awesome bartender makes awesome drinks and is talkative and funny. Good recommendations for drinks

I decided to give this place another shot. I've order out twice. Burrito wasn't good the first time I ordered so decided to stay away on my second attempt. Ordered the birria tacos based off all the reviews and hype. The birria tacos were on point. A lot of flavor and taste. Only reason they got a 4 and not a 2 star. The Birria saved them.

OMG! best Birria Tacos . first time trying this restaurant and it was great . garnachas were excellent .

We tried Estefani's restaurant the first week they opened for business and everything was phenomenal, very unfortunate for them all this covid19 happened just when they opened.. Since then, I have been craving their food, we decided to ordered Take-out the other day and we were impressed how they handled everything during this crazy times. Once again everything was delicious, keep up the good job!

Best drinks and Latin food! The mojitos are just as good if not better than in Miami! The birra tacos are worth the trip...cute clean restaurant and the service is impressive...you won't be disappointed.

Went here for breakfast today, never imagined how classy it was inside, beautifully appointed dining room, upscale linens, wine glasses, etc. Had scrambled eggs mixed with chopped peppers & onions, very fluffy and flavorful. Coffee was nice and hot, served with a porcelain creamer of warm milk, so it stayed hot when I added the milk. Eggs came with two warm tortillas and a generous wedge of "Central American" cheese. The service was nice and friendly and it all came to about $13, reasonable for what you get. Don't find myself in Lynn very often but when I do, I'll seek this place out again!

So I've heard good things from friends who have visited the restaurant about the food especially the tacos. However recently I ordered two chicken and waffles for 13.95 each. Once opening the box I was so disappointed the chicken was so hard and dry, and the waffles were so small. The two boneless chickens was so hard that I had to use more force than I needed. Definitely is not worth the price it felt like a rip off. I usually order chicken and waffles in Boston and the quantity and price is on par. This felt more like an expensive appetizer. If that's the case it should be listed as that. I'm giving 3 stars because I think they have potential down the line.
