“ Recently attended my nephews first birthday here. The waitstaff was extremely attentive for a party of about 60! The owner came out to discuss the menu, greet guests, and cut the cake. I loved the puffy tacos and Detroit style pizza! Also my margarita was large and delish. Not too sweet! ”
“ If you have not tried this pizza, DO IT! NOW! I came for the Mexican, I stayed for the pizza. A quick note on the service. Waitstaff was very attention and I never wanted for anything. A 5+ stars to their service team. I have eaten pizza in places all over the globe... some of the best pizza in the world... Venice, NYC, Chicago, Detroit... I have to say that nothing compares to Esplendido's pizza. A close second would be Loui's in Hazel Park. I came into the place and it looked kind of old, something like Loui's or the original Buddy's. No big deal... I wasn't there for the ambiance and non-existent four string quartet... I was there for the food. I ordered a chimichanga. I compare all chimichangas to the Chi-Chi's chimichangas of the 90s... those were my perfect ten. The chips and salsa were good. The chimichanga here was OK, maybe a 5/10. I ordered a large deep-dish pizza to go. I had heard this pizza was supposed to be the same as Jimmy's Pizza from decades ago. Even though I had just polished off a bowl of chips, two bowls of salsa and the whole chimichanga meal, I had to have a piece of pizza. My family used to get Jimmy's Pizza from the 18 and Hayes location almost every week when I was a kid... I heard stories about a hidden remaining Jimmy's Pizza, but I never thought they were true. OMG, I immediately ate two pieces of pizza before even leaving the restaurant. The pizza was perfect! The crust is amazing... crunchy, yet airy... almost like you are biting into a brick of the clouds of heaven... the dough to cheese ratio is spot on... the sauce on top of the crust is done just right... and the tiniest detail that almost everywhere else overlooks... the sesame seeds baked into the bottom of the crust! The toppings were all fresh and top notch. I can't say enough about this pizza, but I cannot find mere mortal words that could do it justice. Get out there and try it! ”
“ Came to Esplendido for a party! They handled the party with ease and friendly service. We had 5 different kinds of pizza to share and the cheesey bread sticks were so good!!!!! The pizza was excellent!! I'd definitely come back here and sit in the restaurant part...we were in the bar for the party....and order off the menu if the pizza was this good!! ”
“ I absolutely love esplendido. It usually is not very busy but I would highly recommend it. My favorite thing here is the avocado cheese crisp appetizer. It is super cheesy and a staple. I did not enjoy the chicken tacos but the beef ones were much better. It is also very cheap. ”
“ Great service and great food! Highly recommend! Love the fluffy chicken tacos and their pizza is great too. Love coming here for Taco Tuesday! ”
“ Friendly staff and the owners are awesome. I love the square pizza. The nacho supreme, though kinda different then what I'm used too, was very good and crispy. Give it a try. ”
