Good Latin American food! – I had a good time at Esperanto's with a party of 6 on a Saturday evening. The place has a nice lively ambiance with a good Latin American decor. They had Salsa and Merengue playing from speakers which helped grasp the feel of the restaurant. We were greeted immediately at the door and was seated promptly after having to wait no more than 10 minutes for another party to leave. The place is a small place, (it's not a hole in a wall-small) so the 6 of us had to sit a little closer together, but I sti... read more

Best night out in the east village! – We had a great time eating there the other night. Food was delicious, and the mojitos we drank were amazing, definitely the best I've had in the city. Plus, the waitress was really sweet and attentive to our table and they had a great band playing, so it really made for a great night out. Reasonably priced, and very much recommended!

I like this place. but the service was SO SO SO SO BAD! – I came here for brunch. decent prices. it was beautifullllllllll weather outside so i loved the outdoor seating atmosphere. food tasted good. the only HORRIBLE thing was the service. our waiter sat us, took our order, and never came back. whenever i looked for him, i saw him socializing and laughing with people inside. so i had to get the attention of the waitress who kept shooting me dirty looks whenever i asked for water or another mimosa. its like pulling teeth ask... read more

THE MUSIC IS AWESOME – The place is awesome. It's hard not to like the place, especially if you're a music lover. If you go when there are live musicians you are in for a treat. The service overall is okay. I went for a party of 20 on a sunday and the hostess was very accomodating. Do not go on Sundays after 3 because they will rush you out, rather wait for the 6-12 session. The food is delicious and the Mojitos are awesome!!!! I was happy

Delicious seafood stew – WOW. Tasty stuff. Long wait, cramped quarters, but totally worth the it. I've eaten Brazilian food in Brazil and this was equally good stuff.

Great food and Fun atmosphere – Great place for a date and also for large groups. The food is great, and cheap and there is always a wait. Make resverations if you don't want to wait 45 mins for a table. I have been there 2 times in 3 weeks and I have not seen that place empty around dinner time. There is always loud music so you'll have to speak up for people to hear you, and the inside is tight. But overall a great place on the LES.

Great Caipirinha – Went there Saturday night with friends. It was packed, we had reservations and got seated fairly quickly. We got a drink at the bar while we waited for our table, the bartender was a bit rude but I didn't let that ruin my night. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful which made our night much more enjoyable. The food, ah the food, it was absolutely fantastic! everything form the appetizer to the coconou flan in the end our night.

Great night! – I went to Esperanto on Thursday night and had a great time. It was packed so the hostess advised us to have drinks at the bar while we waited for a table. I had the passion fruit caipirihna and my friend had the kiwi caipirihna, and they were amazing (acutal fruit, not juice!). A few minutes later we got seated in the outside patio. The waitress was very knowledgable about the uncommon menu, and took a lot of time to advise us about how to order. We ended up getting the special Shrimp Pineapple dish and the Mo... read more
