We had already ordered baleadas when our very helpful waitress told us they had pork in the beans so I had one without beans and just with egg and cheese and avocados. It was very boring tasting. My vegetarian daughter had a veggie quesadilla and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken Baleada and it was pretty boring too. The fried plantains were delicious. In general, the service was incredibly slow.

Esmeralda's Cafe is a hidden gem. My husband loved asking about the Honduran goods on the menu and the staff was so friendly about it and told us all about Honduran breakfast food and tradition. Nice hearty, hot, breakfast plates had more than enough food and lots of variety. Everything was fresh and the coffee here is particularly good. I like ordering the plain latte or cappuccino and they do have good donuts here too. If you want something more American like pancakes and fresh toast they have those things too and everything is really well made. They cook eggs perfectly to order. The restaurant is clean and quiet. Every time I go there are families there enjoying their meals. I love visiting here and it quickly became one of our favorite hearty breakfast places. Food is stellar and flavorful, fresh and decadent.

The food is so affordable and delicious. The chicken was seasoned far better than I could make myself. They gave me lots of extra salsa because I asked, and my total came to like $12 maybe. You can’t get lunch for much cheaper than that, and for this quality. The service was also very quick. Maybe I waited 10 to 15 minutes, and it was really busy! There’s a massive parking lot for free parking. There are indoor and outdoor tables. Everyone was very friendly.

The food was very good and the menu was very diverse. I think the workers struggle with English so that's something to look out for. The workers were very nice though. The steak was really good. The steak burrito also tasted really good and was well-cooked. The bakery looks excellent and the donut had a great flavor and consistency.

This a place my family agreed on. There is so much variety. We went on a Sunday and it was quite busy but we waited a reasonable time for our food. Our server was quite polite. We ordered steak and cheese (was very good) buffalo wings (great) breakfast burrito with turkey sausage ( our favorite, the best!!) A breakfast plate with waffles, eggs and bacon(this was just alright) overall we had a wonderful experience. We would recommend and we will be returning. This place has been added to out rotation!!
