    This restaurant recently opened here in Apex and I've been twice now. The food is excellent, the staff is very attentive and friendly, and the place is clean. 5/5 would recommend!

    Spicy beef tacos (lunch plate)

    My wife and I watched the taqueria sign in the window for a good year or two until one finally opened. The result wasn't what we hoped for but we had to try it out. It's not really a taqueria but rather a small Mexican restaurant with a full menu. I ordered the spicy beef taco lunch plate and she the enchiladas suizas. The chips and salsa were good. You could hear and smell the food as they prepared it. I thought my tacos with rice & beans were tasty but the serving size was on the small side. Her enchiladas weren't exactly suizas but she liked them. The food is good but I prefer a simpler place or truck where you get a bit more for you money.

    The huevos rancheros lunch special is quite good! The sauce really makes it delicious.

    We were looking for a good Tex-Mex place for a family dinner. Superica delivered!…read more The food is absolutely delicious. The menu accurately describes the dishes, and we all were pleased with what we ordered. The fajitas portion was massive! And there was a huge amount of steak in the steak tacos. The server was very nice and understood the menu well, which was important because a member of our party had dietary restrictions (gluten). My only slight dislike was that the music is crazy loud. We sat in a booth and conversation was difficult to hear.

    CAUTION: Disgusting Tacos Ahead!…read more My wife and I had lunch on Friday, June 1. Let me start with the one thing that was good, then elaborate on everything else, which was not ... especially the "scab" tacos. Really?! Scab tacos??!! [They chose the name, not me. Bet they would like a do-over. Just sayin'.] THE GOOD - The smokey, deep brown salsa served slightly warm was quite tasty. EVERYTHING ELSE: 1. I had the Shrimp Diablo Tacos and they were a disaster! Not only was the shrimp fishy, but the "costra style" shells were an absolute abomination: VERY greasy, amazingly unattractive (see photo), and likely packed 800 calories each due to the grease and cheese. Since there was only 1 bar of web connection, I was unable to Google "costra style" before ordering. Had I been able to do so, the description of being "scab like" (yep! You read that correctly!! Scab!!!) would have made the dish a No Go. That said, I will say the term is accurate: they were DEFINITELY scab-like in appearance, and the degree of grease oozing off of them put me not only in mind of a scab, but one attached to an infected wound. Barf!! 2. My wife's #1 from the lunch menu was about as basic as a taco and enchilada can be. She even told me it was a stretch to call it Mexican food. 3. And one final point: the place is L-O-U-D inside. Not quite - but almost - to the degree of being unable to talk while eating. Adios!

    Esmeralda Grill is a very authentic local Mexican spot that does a lot of things right, especially…read morewhen it comes to classic comfort dishes. I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

    Esmeralda Grill absolutely rocks, and it was almost a restaurant that I considered avoiding because…read moreI ordered the wrong thing. I was really one mayonnaise filled torta away from missing out on my favorite Mexican restaurant of Cary. The food is some of the freshest and most authentic in the area, and is consistently spot on. Forget heavy burritos or overly sauced enchiladas, this place is the real deal. When you come to Esmeralda Grill, you should really focus on the meat heavy dishes, whether it be via land or sea. There are so many different options to choose from, from both categories. When thinking seafood, expect the full fish. If you find yourself with the fresh grilled tilapia, you will receive a delicious whole fish that tastes as if it was caught that morning. It is such a fantastic option. I also appreciate the camarones a la diabla, or Diablo shrimp. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the spice of the dish is excites your taste buds and is a great dish. My favorite entrees are the land meat dishes though. El Trio Perfecto is my go-to order, it is grilled steak, chicken and pork all on one plate with rice, beans, salad, and tortillas. The Mexican spice rub on the meats is absolutely mouth watering, the flavors are so bold and tasty. The meats are all cooked to perfection and the portions are gigantic. You can make different tacos with the various meats, it is seriously one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I would highly recommend this! Additionally, Esmeralda Grill has so many other wonderful dishes for different flavor profiles. My grandparents are pretty particular about empanadas, but simply cannot get enough of Esmeralda's version. They also make some killer tacos, and some very affordable ones if you were to come on Tuesday! The moral of the story? Don't base your opinion of a restaurant after a single visit. You don't come across a fantastic hole in the wall every day, Esmeralda Grill is one that every Mexican food lover should know!

    I love this place…read more They never disappoint. Good solid Mexican food for a reasonable price. The quesadillas are my favorite. I rotate between the carnitas and the carne asada. I love that they have crema and queso fresco crumbled on top with the onions and cilantro. Fresh made tortillas. They're basically a huge taco. The pulpo tostada was yummy! they have a little salsa bar with the spicy pickled carrots , onions and jalapeños. A few different salsas, cabbage salad , and more. If you want real authentic Mexican food. Give them a shot!

    Excellent Tacos! The restaurant is an average storefront Tacqueria but don't let appearances fool…read moreyou! They have a very large selection of tacos, and there is definitely something for everyone who's a taco lover. I got al pastor, carne asada and pollo tacos and all are excellent. All the tacos are stuffed full into two soft corn tortillas, and yes FULL! Order at the counter, and they'll give you a container for the condiment bar and some small cups for salsa. The condiment bar had chopped onions, cilantro, pico de gallo and jalapeño, also pickled onion and sliced radishes as well as lime wedges. Also four different salsas, all really good and with decent spice levels. The tacos are $3.50 each, definitely worth the price. Rancho Grande is kind of what Chubby's used to be before they got impressed with themselves Good food, reasonable prices and friendly folks at the counter, how can any taco-lover not like this?
