We got beef tacos & hubby got a steak burrito. I could only eat two tacos. They’re so filling! (The ladies next to us got fajitas & they came out steaming. Was really cool!) I’ve never had the burritos & finally tried one. Amazing! Everything is amazing. We love their homemade chips & salsa, as well. Hubby loves their bottled beverages. ❤️

We were driving down rt 52 about lunchtime, so I googled mexican food near me and La Esmeralda’s popped 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.

Today was our first time, and we loved the food. We had carry out, spicy chicken tacos that were fresh and delicious, beef tacos, rice and beans. Prices are so reasonable, the people are super nice. We’re already planning to go back for more this weekend!

The steak and chorizo burrito was huge and delicious! The staff was friendly. I got the burritos to go and they had them ready in about 10 minutes.

Super sweet Esmeralda greets, cooks and serves up your meal at this little off the beaten path Mexican restaurant. Totally affordable prices and rich authentic flavor. Bottled beverages and water, alcohol free. Chips and salsa are homemade. All settled in a historic Polo business. Stop in and say hello (Hola) to Esmeralda. Support your local business.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s easily the best, most authentic Mexican restaurant around! It’s the classic, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is easy to miss from the outside, but it’s definitely worth going in.

Spent the morning hiking at Mississippi Palisades, and then stopped here for an AMAZING burrito! Also, the chips are phenomenal!

This place is sooo good. Only way it could be more authentic is to travel to Jalisco yourself. Fresh home made tortilla chips right out of the fryer are the best I’ve ever had. The menu isn’t huge but I’ve never had a mediocre meal there. It’s always delicious. It’s a super small, hole in the wall-type place. Maybe 10 tables. It’s right off of Main Street but you still have to know it’s there or you’ll miss it. They pretty much cook right in front of you. The staff is basically a husband and wife and their teenage son. Their son speaks the best English so he takes the orders. They work super hard to make sure you have a good experience. Definitely worth a try if you are ever near Polo. Worth the drive if you’re not!
