I should have taken pictures. The portions were good for the price. I paid $16 (would have been $15 if I paid cash) for a Birria taco with consommé, chips and salsa, an asada mulita and a jarritos soda. The portions were much bigger than I expected. I really could have just had either the mulita or the the taco. That is the biggest mulita I have had and that is one of my favorite things to eat. The food was served quickly and they were nice. That atmosphere isn’t the best but it also isn’t the worst. I’ve been intrigued by the truck for a few weeks but I would go to lunch before they open. Was so happy that I had a later lunch and got to enjoy it. For the portions I received, the taste and location that it is in, it was good deal.

Along with the delicious food, the cafe's tropical design and Hawaiian music produce a comfortable and delightful dining atmosphere that enhances the whole experience.Aloha Cafe, which offers a lovely flavor of Hawaii and will make you grin and long for Hawaii, is a true culinary gem in Los Angeles.

Ordered a Birria burrito and quesadilla from here both pricey. Birria burrito was bland and flavorless. Quesadilla had carne asada, and it didn't taste right kinda tasted like sausage.

YES. The fish tostado was heavenly. I’ll be back. And the salsas are some of the best I’ve had in LA.

Low key one of the most delicious tacos in the area. Asada is bbq’d and smokey. Guac salsa has a kick. Nice people too

A great taco truck to stumble upon on your way to/from the bars in the area. We had a California burrito and tostada mixta. Both were excellent, the seafood was fresh, even the raw pieces. Perfect two items to share!

If you're ever in Little Tokyo and happen to travel across Alameda into the Arts district, the first taco truck you will see is Dona Estela. They have a variety of Mexican food to choose from on the late night munchies hunt. I'm particular to their burritos and burrito bowls, but they also have tacos, ceviche, and even vegan and vegetarian options. One night they had someone outside of the stirring up a giant jug of pink lemonade. I had to get some and it was reeeeeeeeefreshing. If you've ever been in the area, there are about 4 different taco trucks, in my opinion, Dona Estela has the best FOOD.
Tried the truck out again after the business owner reached out and I have to say they've done well. Really good food and the crew is helpful and friendly.

Fish tacos are bomb! Pretty fast service, I rarely see a lot of people here, unless it's 11:30pm at night lol. The ceviche is alright, I've tried their shrimp (camaron) both raw and cooked, definitely think the cooked version is more palatable if you're not used to raw shrimp. Fish (pescado) ceviche is also good. Tacos are really where they shine though. Fish is always tender and perfectly fried. I personally think that the flour tortillas are better for these, since the corn tortilla flavor can be a little overpowering. They have a salsa/limes/toppings bar there, if you ask for your items to-go, you might want to pack a few limes and salsa containers with you as they don't always include those in the takeout orders. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!
