from Google & Yelp"The food was very good and the menu was very diverse. I think the workers struggle with English so that's something to look out for. The workers were very nice though. The steak was really good. The steak burrito also tasted really good and was well-cooked. The bakery looks excellent and the donut had a great flavor and consistency."
"My first time eating here. The plantains were excellent!! The Cafe Americano was very hot and stayed out thought out my meal. I ordered the omelette without meat and the home fries. I will definitely be back!!"
"First time visit and received a warm welcome even though the restaurant was pretty busy. We seated ourselves immediately and our server Kelly brought us menus right away and offered water and coffee. Our food was delicious, but the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back to try other items - they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at reasonable prices."
"Esmeralda’s has been my husband and I’s favorite restaurant for the past 5 years. We typically go there for breakfast to order the omelette along with the home fries. We love that the omelette is made consistently delicious, we have not found a place that makes their omelette better or as good as this place. However, this past month August/September they have made changes to the way the omelette is currently being made when my husband asked they said have made changes. I am not sure the reason but I really hope they make a change to have the old way of making the omelette as an option . The new change has been disappointing the omelette doesn’t taste the same anymore & the portion sizes are smaller as well."
"Try to avoid going there during lunch time cause obviously the service is going to be very slow. Once arriving it took around 30 mins for a waitress to take our order. The food itself was ok. Nothing to special but my biggest complaint was the lomo saltado plate. Most of the meat cuts were fatty and not fully cooked. I decided not to eat anything and asked to return it and ask for another dish the waitress said the kitchen staff told her that’s how the dish is cooked and that they can’t replace it or even refund the meal. Most restaurants even food trucks atleast give you a refund."
"Pretty good place. First time here. Came here on a Sunday breakfast time which the place was busy. A good sign. Had to wait a little but didn't mind. The..."
