Esperanza Cocina de la Playa is a Mexican restaurant that offers an upscale dining experience. The hostess, waitstaff, and ambiance are all highly commendable, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere with lots of candles, low light, and curved walls. Complimentary tortillas and three sauces are served, with delicious dishes like soup and fish tacos. The food presentation is excellent, and the drinks are delicately prepared, although some cocktails may be sweeter than expected. The service is attentive, with staff like Sophia ensuring guests have everything they need without asking. While it can be lively and a bit loud, the unique and refined experience makes it worth the extra cost. Although the restaurant is more expensive than typical Mexican eateries, it stands out for its quality and atmosphere.
