  The possibility of strange stars mixed with dark energy to be one of the
candidates for dark energy stars is the main issue of the present study. Our
investigation shows that quark matter acts as dark energy after a certain yet
unknown critical condition inside the quark stars. Our proposed model reveals
that strange stars mixed with dark energy feature a physically acceptable
stable model mimic characteristics of dark energy stars. The plausible
connections are shown through the mass-radius relation as well as the entropy
and temperature. We particularly note that a two-fluid distribution is a major
reason for the anisotropic nature of the spherical stellar system.
