Taqueria La Esperanza

I stopped after work and got Al Pastor and a chicken fajita taco, both on corn. This place doesn't really seem open all the time.... I'm always around, and I never see it open that often. I loved both tacos, but the chicken fajita blew me away. The Al Pastore wasn't the best I've ever had, but it sure hit the spot. A guy next to me told me that the hot sauce was super spicy, but it still had really good flavor. I barely put any on, man that stuff kicks! If you're into spicy food definitely try it!

Taqueria La Esperanza is a small food booth/ trailer found behind La Moreliana Meat Market with a parking. This place is open until 3 am and is CASH ONLY. On a rainy Wednesday night, around 11:40 pm, my husband and I decided to check out this little eatery since it is just down the street from our vacation rental that we were staying at during our Austin vacation. We ended up ordering:Chicken Taco, $2.50, tax included- Generous amount of tender and juicy chicken with minced onions, cilantro and shredded cheese. A really filling taco, that can be easily made into a second, which is what I did since this taco is made with 2 corn tortillas.Barbacoa Burrito, $6, tax included- Barbacoa beef, so tender and flavorful. This burrito is a pretty large size, enough to feed 2 people. This burrito has plenty of generous portions of beef, shredded lettuce, onions and shredded cheese, all wrapped in a large flour tortilla.------------------(Total= $8.50, tax included)Our food was made fresh to order, but with a short wait time.Although there is picnic style bench tables, with a covering, we took our order back to our vacation rental (the benches were wet from all the rain Austin was having that day). Taqueria La Esperanza has a pretty small and simple menu but the food was delicious. Wished I lived closer so that I could try all their food offerings.

We stopped here on our self-guided taco tour of Austin. We tried the carnitas and el pastor. Both were average. Not wonderful but not bad. The verde sauce was extremely spicy so definitely try it before using! Service was very friendly and quick. If you're looking for a quick average taco in Austin, this is your spot!

Parking is horrible, I almost missed the place. Guy wasn't really friendly. It's OK, I would make the drive to Rosita's if you could.

As a vegetarian, I didn't have any options beyond a bean and cheese taco - they refused to add any veggies/fajitas to it. It had too much onion and made the taco quite sharp. Then they gave us salsa, without a warning, with way too much chili. All in all, not one I can recommend to a vegetarian - I know I'm not their target audience anyway.

BEST GORDITAS IN AUSTIN. No joke seriously. Chicken is delicious and flavorful, giant portion size and great prices. Cash only

The gorditas are my favorite !! So much meat! Worth the price. One of the best Mexican food I've found in Austin .

Amazing spot! Cheap, fast, plentiful, and SUPER tasty. I ordered the carne guisada and the barbacoa. Both were excellent. The carne guisada was top-notch! I've been meaning to visit this place for a while because I live so close, and I'm very glad that I finally did. I'll certainly be going back soon!Btw- it's a cash only location.

These guys may not look like much when there is a flashier taco truck right across the street, but these guys make the best tacos on Cesar Chavez St. The two men who work the truck are the kind you go back to bring a tip after you've already arrived at home. Their salsa packs serious heat, fyi.

Food is good but staff is just not nice at all always mad so I stopped going that how bad and annoying felt like I was asking for free food? Idk
