Fodor's Review:

Be prepared for south-of-the-border craziness at this beloved local eatery. Wild West kitsch festoons the walls, but it isn't any wilder than some of the entrées that emerge from chef-owner Joe Esparza's kitchen. Look for such creations as lean smoked-sirloin tacos -- Esparza's is renowned for its smoked meats -- and, for the truly adventurous diner, ostrich enchiladas.
