    The restaurant was quite busy. Our waiter seem to take more time with his larger tables, but that is understood. We had a great hostess (Stacy) that kept checking on us. She definitely is an asset to the company. She helped the waiter quite a bit. There was a little wait on getting meat at times, but like I said it was busy. The beef ribs were the best! I did order shrimp and it was wonderful. I went a year ago exactly, and was just as good this time. Keep up the good work! We will be back.

    The food was amazing! The service was excellent…our server took great care of us and offered suggestions that were delicious. I love the atmosphere at Stella’s. My only complaint was we were seated right in front of the door. There was a lot of traffic in and out. It was freezing that night so every time the door opened we got a gust of cold air. That won’t keep us away. We will be back!!

    The service was fantastic and the food was even better. Big portions, plenty of chips, salsa and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you were getting. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you looking for good Mexican cuisine.

    As an event with a buffet, it is important to let patrons know when you are shutting down the food. (We understand it was to prepare for the next shift). Still important; some at our table did not get dessert.
