We are from out of town and decided to try out the brunch menu. Everything was utterly fantastic, and the staff was spectacular and quick. I would definitely recommend it, and the Santa Fe frittata was just spicy enough.
We decided to stop by on our way home from Indiana Beach. We were pleasantly surprised by the great service and really sensational food. We had a large group with several tired kids who all loved and gobbled their food! Friendly service, good food, great prices! The menu is so diverse. If you can't find something on the menu....
Our new family tradition after the boardwalk! !
I recommend this place to every tourist who is visiting Indiana beach! It is right down the street maybe 3 minutes away and it is so inexpensive! The waitress was super nice. We left a nice tip because we were so dehydrated from the beach ( ridiculous prices for food and drinks) but she kept drinks full. Everything we had was very delicious: Cajun chicken sandwich, tenderloin on a bun, bacon cheeseburger, esmeralda breakfast skillet, and the strawberry crepes. My husband has pics of them, genious00. Don't waste food money at IN beach go here! You can eat and go back in
I have visited this restaurant twice now. The first experience was great! We were told a 20 minute wait, but within 5 minutes we were seated. The menu has so many choices of awesome food. I seen the Sunday breakfast buffet. It has hot food for any food lover! There is also fresh fruit and awesome freshly squeezed orange juice. I have issues with dirty restrooms. They were amazingly clean. I couldn't find one bad thing to say about the restaurant. The server Lynn is awesome. She is very prompt and never let's you run empty on the drinks. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant! I have been there twice an will continue to go back. If you go ask for Lynn she will treat you well. Look at this photo that hangs on the wall, and see what you can find?
Very nice and clean. Always go when we visit Monticello. Will eat there again.
There are two really good dine in and what I call 'all purpose' restaurants in town, Esmerelda's is one of them. It's a very good place to dine with a varied menu including awesome authentic Mexican food. You won't be sorry you chose this place.
Get the breakfast buffet! Lots of tasty choices. The buffet is well-stocked and well-maintained.
The food wasn't bad. They had a buffet but you'd have to be really hungry to eat $11 worth. Got plenty of food for a lot less off the menu.
