Crispy lumpia, adobo, pancit, and refreshing frozen cocktails
"I enjoy Estrellita's tiny but modern-flavored space where Owners Hope Webb and Walter Cortado turn out Filipino classics and meat-forward dishes—standouts include Cebu-style roasted pork belly lechon with crispy skin rolled with lemongrass, green onion and garlic, and versions of lumpia (the Angus beef option is unexpectedly tender); be prepared to wait as the walk-in-only kitchen often juggles to-go and catering orders." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In Atlanta, Estrellita is a Filipino restaurant that appears on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide
"It's a tiny space, but Owners Hope Webb and Walter Cortado have fashioned a likable space with a modern bent at Estrellita. Equally small but mighty is the kitchen, which turns out Filipino classics and meat-forward dishes. There are always specials to keep an eye out for, and patience is key, as the kitchen team is often handling to-go and catering orders simultaneously. It's walk-in only, so pull up a chair to enjoy roasted pork belly lechon cooked Cebu-style, with crispy skin and rolled with lemongrass, green onion and garlic. Vegetable and beef versions of lumpia are available; the beef delivers three crispy lumpia filled with Angus beef sautéed with green beans, bean sprouts, celery and onions for dish that is both unexpected and tender." - Michelin Inspector
"Located in Grant Park, this convivial Filipino restaurant is where to find crispy lumpia filled with chicken, shrimp, and vegetables. Order a batch of bite-sized Shanghai lumpia stuffed with ground beef, shrimp, garlic, onions, and water chestnuts. Pair the lumpia with a comforting bowl of pancit. The restaurant blends sauteed bihon rice noodles and Canton egg noodles together, mixing the noodles with chicken, shrimp, and vegetables." - Beth McKibben
"And Atlanta launched this year with not one, but two, Filipino restaurants: Estrellita." - The MICHELIN Guide
