Trivia

 * He is one of two characters in Red Dead Redemption to always wear an eyepatch. The other being Shep Thomas. Marston also has an eye patch when wearing the pre-order Deadly Assassin Outfit.
 * Despite the fact De Santa says Espinoza does not lead anything and he is the one who's in charge in the mission Empty Promises, Espinoza is always in the front line of the attack while De Santa stays out of trouble. To support this, if the player move too far from the army Espinoza will say "What are you doing, I am leading the attack."
 * Despite supporting Allende's methods and being as brutal and cruel as De Santa and Allende, Espinoza seems to be a lot more honourable and brave than both of them. De Santa and Allende both seem to be cowards, rarely appearing in battle while Espinoza frequently leads charges in battle. Espinoza actually fights Marston with his men, even when he knows he will die, while De Santa escapes to avoid getting killed.
 * He one of only a few characters in the game who's first name is never revealed (the others being Irish, Shaky, Mr. and Mrs. Fortuna, Mrs. Ditkiss, Mrs. Bush and various other unnamed characters.) He is however the most significant character whose last name is revealed but not his first name.
