There wasn't an issue when we went during the dinner time. --Ambience-- Minimal, bright colors. Simple Mexican restaurant. Simple seating arrangement. You don't go for the deco. --Service/Staff-- Friendly staff that was excited to serve a big party at the last minute. I recommend because of how friendly the staff were and were very attentive to us. --Products/Service-- I had the beef tacos with a side of beans and rice. No issues. Nothing to write home about. I had tacos from Chicago to, LA to San Antonio. I can't compare the two because of the location. I would just keep your expectation on the food quality and taste. --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 30 plus people based on various table size. I believe they would get busy during the lunch crowd. We walked up with a big group and got seating with no issues. --Overall-- If you are in the area and looking for Mexican food. Nothing to go out of the way to. The food is okay or just average, but take into the context of the area and the choice of selection.

We were driving down rt 52 about lunchtime, so I googled mexican food near me and La Esmeralda's…read morepopped up so we tapped directions and was directed right to it, however we were kind of unsure if it was the right place or even if it was open but we parked on the street and went in. The building is not very handicap accessible but there is a rail to hold onto while navigating the 2 steps at the entrance. The building is a beautiful old building which we appreciated. It is a very small place but welcoming, and the smell as you walked in was magnificent. We were welcomed in and directed to the service window. There were menus there to choose from. The choices are pretty standard, but the smells in there made it difficult to narrow it down to one dish. We ordered a chicken quesadilla, a steak chimichanga with rice and beans, we picked our beverages from a cooler near the ordering window and went to sit at one of the few tables to choose from. They brought out a basket of very tasty homemade chips and pico, I asked for hot sauce and was brought 2 bottles red was hot, and green was mild both were delicious. Shortly after, our food was delivered. It looked as wonderful as it tasted. Everything we ordered was very fresh and flavorful. The serving sizes were perfect. The one thing you should know is they are a cash only establishment. We will definitely be back to try something else, the people at the table near us recommended the steak tacos.

This is by far the best Mexican food I've had in town and the owner Cesar could not have been nicer or more welcoming. The staff was friendly and welcoming and service was fast and on point. We ordered way too much food but it was all fresh and delicious. The guacamole was especially delicious with garlic, tomato and was perfectly blended into a creamy dip with some cilantro. My husband ordered the molcajete which was enough for 2-3 people, while I got the delicious birria tacos. We definitely had tons of leftovers!
