La Esmeralda Mexican - Polo

I 'm only going low on atmosphere specifically because the age of the building is such that the entrance stairs are quite hazardous for a disabled person like myself. I don 't know how often I 'll be in town, but I 'll certainly come back. I just hope the owner or landlord can put in a ramp or other safe entrance.

Fantastic asada tacos, chorizo tacos, and the steak burrito to go always for later. Mmmm...authentic Mexican style. Delicious.

Have only had steak tacos this good one other place.

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

Based on all of the positive reviews here, my family and I expected much, much better from this restaurant.First off, and most important to me, the food wasn't anything special that I couldn't make as well or better, given the time and ingredients to do so.Secondly, there really wasn't much service and there was only a container of napkins on each table. No condiments whatsoever. Heck, our meals were brought to us without even been given silverware (yes, our meals needed a knife and fork).Thirdly, and although lastly.. honestly, this place felt like a bit of a dive. It was dark, dank, completely lacking anything that might be considered a positive atmosphere for dining, and uncomfortably hot.I feel bad about offering a review like this, but I'm just being completely honest.I can't imagine we'll ever go back, I'm very sorry to say. It's obviously a family owned business, so I can only wish for a successful future on their behalf. Best of luck! Wheelchair accessibility: I wouldn't call this place wheelchair friendly at all.
