First time experience here I ordered tacos because Mexican tacos are my absolute favorite the tacos I received were cold the meat had absolutely no flavor and there were like three specks of onion/cilantro all for nearly $4 a piece worst tacos I've ever had and even the size for $4 felt like a rip off compared to taco truck. If you want tacos I highly suggest Tacos Papirringo in Parma they are literally 20x better the people are way friendlier. This being my first experience with Las Esmeralda I don't think I'll be back to try anything else of the menu

We have tried several Mexican restaurants in the area. We have found the food here is very good. I’m slowly working my way through the menu and have not had a dish I didn’t like.I have found they will make you a very hot/spicy sauce if you ask for it. The hot/spicy isn’t offered on the menu.The staff has always been attentive and pleasant.

Food here is always bad. Beans were stale and chile colorado looked like it was frozen and thawed in the microwave.Nothing fresh here for sure.

Consistently some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had. Food is fantastic, service is great, prices are good. And includes vegetarian options. I can't recommend this business highly enough.

Great little place with a nice Dinning and then tucked away in back is a little more secluded cantina with a pool table as well.Parking: Street parking either side of the main roadway. Afternoons aren't typically to crowded.

Food is overpriced for what it is, very bland and underwhelming.Service is atrocious. Rude actually. Unfriendly.And the two times I showed up for karaoke were a joke. First time the host was wasted and YELLED full voice during my song and encouraged others to watch TV and talk while I sang. I left after one song. Second time I contacted them to ask what time they had karaoke they said 10. We got there at 10 asked about karaoke and he grunted at me and then blew me off and just left. I asked him again later and he just stared. RUDE.I'm never setting foot in that place again. I love supporting local businesses but screw that place. Ridiculous.

My husband and I tried this place when it first opened and were not impressed. It could have been different owners maybe..... But now, it is so good!!!! The food is delicious, the service is quick and they are very nice and the restaurant is cute inside. We actually eat there more than we care to admit. Lol. I love their chile rellanos and my hubby loves their chipotle shrimp and Diablo shrimp. Go check it out!

Great authentic Mexican food was amazing!Arroz con Camerones was the best in the valley!
If I could, I'd give it more stars. Went there on a lunch break, and the staff was so warming and wonderful.. The food tasted absolutely amazing and we didn't have to wait long. I absolutely recommend Las Esmeraldas if you are looking for a great Mexican meal!!

I like this place. Had the Chile Verde which is my typical litmus test for a Mexican food place. It was pretty good.. Could use to be a little more spicy. But that's just my preference. Staff is great and even better story... They opened during COVID and doing well . Congrats!

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was homey. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoys Mexican food!Vegetarian options: My son and his girlfriend are vegetarian. They were thrilled to find a special vegetarian section on the menu. They both loved their chosen dishes.
