Restaurant La Esperanza

Probably one of my favorite places to eat on Airline. Also for the fact it's efficient because I work next door but I love the food. The chicken flautas are my favorite. Truly authentic Mexican food, no Tex-Mex here. Be prepared to order in Spanish or use the menu to pick your order using a picture. If you want authentic food, cater to their environment!

Not a date place, but if the salsa is great, would you go?Typical taqueria décor and furniture in this area. Not much English is spoken here. 6 comfortably padded booths and about 8 tables. Only two other customers at lunchtime.Chips y salsa:Red salsa was spicy hot, yet very tasty and different (must be some unusual peppers)The other salsa looked like a watery pico de gallo, with cilantro leaves, chopped onions, and some (not much) tomato. But there were other ingredients that sunk to the bottom, including pepper chunks (not a jalapeno, but one of the large green peppers).Both salsas seemed home made. I really enjoyed these.Mexican flag chips (store bought, red, green, and normal corn color).I ordered the Chile Relleno dinner ($7.50) with chicken, not beef. OK, I had to use "pollo" to order that.The meal started with a soup (Honduran?) of macaroni and angel hair pasta in a light yellow broth (chicken?). This is good if you need carbs. I have an oversupply stored, unfortunately.The meal came with two rellenos, both battered in soft covering and without sauce or cheese on top: one big one filled with plentiful dark chicken meat, and a little one filled with white cheese. The smaller pepper was more spicy, perhaps a different kind of pepper? The meal is best if you combine some of the cheese one with the chicken one (there is no cheese in the chicken relleno). This was pretty good, but still nowhere near as tasty as the chicken relleno at Chuy's. The sides are rice, beans and small lettuce portion with very thin avacodo slices.Service was good (again, no other customers to slow them down).So, the differentiator of this taqueria from others is a bit better salsa.To quell the heat, they serve a couple of mints with your check.

Rating 4.51st time going Breakfast food was delicious.We did a quick stop passing by hoping the food was good and it was very delicious and servants are polite. Drinks are really good we got Jamaica and horchata. It's a small decent place for a quick stop by meal. Food was ready pretty fast everything fresh and salsa was amazing, chips look like they are made fresh, very crunchy and authentic so far so good. I recommend this place.

Servicio es horrible, meseras groceras, tacos horrible. Horrible serviceAmbience was just as horrible as well.

The food is always delicious! Always recommending my friends to this restaurant. Very affordable and authentic Mexican food.

First time coming to this place and the food was amazing and the service was great. I hate going to places that sell Mexican food because they never get that Mexican taste but here the food was tasty and extremely cheap I will most definitely come back!

Do NOT use a debit card! My total was $19.61 I gave the waitress my debit card and was shocked when my purchase alert informed me my card was used for $196.13. I understand sometimes errors are made but this occurred to my sister in law about 7 months ago in what we thought at the time was an isolated incident. She managed to get them to give her the cash which she immediately deposited into her account. I on the other hand was shown a void transaction which my bank was not seeing on their end. It can take up to 10 days for me to see the money and this is an account that has auto withdraws payments linked to it.Also the a/c appeared to be off, there were a couple flies and one ant crawling on the table. The pineapple water was good about the only thing

Cheap but authentic mexican. Good for lunch, not for dates etc. I had tacos and those were delicious. Good service, nice people.
