Esperanza's Méxican Restaurant — Restaurant in Yreka

My wife and I were starving from a busy day. We were running late, meaning most of the restaurants in our area close about 9pm moen -thurs, it was wed or thur nite. We went to a place across the street and they turned us away. Saying no we are closed. As soon as we walked out I saw the neon glow of the open sign. I said ah-ha they are open. My wife said the hours say closes at 9. Well it was 9:32pm to be exact, and I opened the door. There was a woman folding napkins and preparing silverware. I asked are you guys still open? She replied oh um, I forgot to turn off the sign we are close. Looking around I notice a party of 2 or 3 having their meal. So immediately I asked is the kitchen still open, we are really hungry and we would be very grateful with take out service not eat in. The kind woman said let me go check I'll b right back. My wife and I heard yes from the kitchen area. We both smiled at each other and sat at the table the woman directed us to. She said take out ok? Oh yes we both replied. We ordered our food which was Fish Burrito Dinner which came with beans and rice and we also order chips with salsa and extra guacamole. The woman took our order offered us drinks my wife had ice tea and I requested a cup of ice just because I was walking with a jar of apple juice. We drank our drinks and our food was ready . The woman refilled our my wife's ice tea and brought me an ice tea for the road. She handed me our bill. It was inexpensive for all the food that was in our bags. I paid our bill and handed the woman a $10 bill for her tip. I remember feeling like that was not enough for the service this woman had just offered my wife and I. As my wife and I were leaving we talked with the woman and thanked her for taking our business when she could have simply turned us away. My wife and I didn't make it home to eat we found the first bench we could sit on. And went to town on our food. It was awesome the fish Burritos were amazing. And I remember after I closed the lid of my takeout container I was literally stuffed to the gills. Lol, lol. The guacamole was perfect I could have eaten it alone without any chips or salsa. My wife could not finish her entire container. So we brought it home for our daughter's dog Cali Nibbles and she gave it 2 paws up. I took the chips and salsa as lunch the next day but the guacamole never made it. Thank you for a wonderful experience and a chance to eat some incredible authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend this place for eat in or take out either way u will have an awesome meal. Thank you again to the woman who took us in and did not turn us away. Thank you and hope we...

This was my first time dining and I'm very pleased with everything. Our waitress was very friendly and cordial, and the environment was very homey. It almost felt like I was eating in a home instead of a public place. I ordered a quesadilla and it was above my expectations. The prices are ok, about what I'd expect at a Mexican restaurant of this...

Terrible service. Told to sit anywhere we wanted. Got a menu. We did not receive any or drinks or salsa and chips. Waited for 15 minutes no service. The waitress waited on two other tables that came in after us. And appeared to be having a social conversation with them. We after 15 minutes we left the restaurant. Do not waste your time stopping at...
