| - Totally unexpected, in a good way. First, its looks and a lot of its menu are those of a typical (at least as far as places I know in NYC) Mexican diner, but the staff is Salvadoran. In addition to the tasty Mexican staples, they are serving up an array of other Latin dishes that make great comfort food, even to those of us who didn't eat them at home.
I had chuletas with rice and beans, as well as some shredded beef tacos, either of which I would recommend to anyone. Entrees come with a choice of tortillas - go with the handmade ones, you will be as pleased as I was. GF got the enchiladas, which she was pleased enough with to not offer me a taste.
Portions are a bit large in my opinion; just don't over-order and you'll be fine. Everything was positively inexpensive, so when you need a fill-up, come to Esmerelda's.
