Esmeralda is a lively restaurant that offers a festive atmosphere and delicious food. It is a popular spot, as seen by its busy Saturday afternoons. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has open parking. It is also kid-friendly, often hosting groups of baseball players.
The staff at Esmeralda are friendly and welcoming, with servers like Bianca and Vianka going out of their way to provide kind service and friendly conversation. The food at Esmeralda is consistently good, with many customers, including a weary traveler, choosing the same meal each time they visit.
A standout menu item is the beef tacos, praised as the "best beef taco" some customers have ever had. The tacos are flavorful and not greasy, with just the right amount of heat. The rice served with the tacos is also highly regarded. The restaurant also offers great Chicken Mole, with nice portions and a lively atmosphere. Although it can get loud and the wait for a table can be long, once seated, service is efficient and quick. Overall, Esmeralda is a great place to enjoy a home-cooked meal while on the road, loved by many for its friendly staff and tasty dishes.
