Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya De LaRosa Ramírez is a character on Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and is played by Adrian R'Mante.
Esteban is an earnest bellboy (of Hispanic decent) of the Tipton Hotel where identical twins, Zack and Cody Martin live with their single mother, Carey Martin. They are living there because Carey has a gig singing as the headler at the hotel. He has a pet Dudley,who is a chicken. Esteban has a good heart and likes the Martin boys. Esteban dreams of becoming the manager of the Tipton Hotel, as shown in the episode "Pilot Your Own Life," but also dreams of London Tipton, daughter of the hotel’s owner, sinking down a few levels of the ladder.
Esteban originally came to United States to be a baseball player, but he wasn’t very good at it, so he settled for a bellhop. He is a pretty decent bowler. And he is also a dancer, and he teaches a dance class at the Tipton as shown in the episode "Loosely Ballroom," where some of the actors and actresses were from the ABC TV show "Dancing with the Stars" He has appeared in many episodes in both the first and second seasons. Esteban once affected a Southern accent after being taught by a Texan diction coach but unlearned it eventually due to his dislike of the accent and it died out in his next appearance. Esteban was made an American citizen in the episode "Boston Tea Party." Esteban also had to take care of Harry, a con-artist in the episode "Have A Nice Trip."
He refers to Zack, Cody, Maddie, Jessica and Janice as "little blonde peoples". In "Not So Suite 16," it was implied his great-grandmother was once a queen of some sort, as Esteban mentions a revolution. In the episode "A Midsummer's Nightmare" we learn that his family comes from somewhere in Central America. His hometown's mayor is a monkey. He has shown a dislike for London. In his first appearance, "Hotel Hangout," he tended to Mr. Moseby's (the hotel’s manager) every whim (actually just one) when he "saved his life". He has also proven to be a bit weak.
Esteban is known in the alternate universe(in Suite Smell of Excess) as Estebanita, where he is in fact a she, the female version of Esteban. He works as a hotel maid in the alternate universe. Later during the episode it is revealed that Esteban dressed up as a maid for a fancy dress party, and not still in his alternate-universe-form which Zack and Cody thought to their momentary horror.
Esteban is quite similar to Manuel from Fawlty Towers. They both are Hispanic, both carry bags, and they both dream of running the hotel they work at.
