Taquería La Esmeralda - Jackson

Food was very good. The verde pork tacos were perfect!

This restaurant is definitely not authentic. As someone who knows how to cook Mexican cuisine, I can’t agree that it's the best. The red sauce tastes like tomato soup, while the green sauce is overly tangy. The rice is undercooked and lacks seasoning and flavor. The salsas are only a bit better than store-bought picante sauces. I had high hopes for this place.

I won't be ordering from this restaurant again, and I will be sure to share my experience with my friends. The shrimp were incredibly overcooked and had a rubbery texture. The guacamole was mostly comprised of raw onion and lettuce, with hardly any avocado. To make matters worse, I found a rock in my food! I bit down on it hard and ended up chipping my tooth!

The meat was overly salty, and the shells were soggy and fell apart. The rice was crunchy and unappetizing, while the beans were acceptable. I was dissatisfied and disappointed with both my meal and the money I spent!

Fajitas were delicious! Will defi order again.
