La Esperanza Mexican Taqueria & Restaurant

This place is a gem. We tried the tacos, taquitos, and guacamole. Everything was delicious. The service was friendly and speedy. This restaurant is clean as a whistle too.

When the young waitress with curly brown hair served us, she brought takeout utensils because she said they ran out of silverware. The utensils were very bent (see photo), making it hard to use them. When I complained, she said, "That's what happens sometimes." She also brought me a big glass of water with a dead fly floating floating on top (see photo). She was REALLY out of it, did not care, zombie-like. Anyway, we will not return!!

Great! I would recommend this for lunch or a quick dinner - the food is outstanding- try the quesaburria taco

Great little lunch spot with a few outdoor umbrella tables. The food was great and the portions were large and in charge. The asada was excellent and I would definitely order it again. Fast, friendly service as well. Rock on!

What a sweet place! You can easily miss it but it's bright and clean inside. Such friendly service and yummy food! It's just a couple of minutes off US 1. I had 2 asada tacos. And I came in at 3pm which is usually one of the worst times to visit a restaurant- too late for lunch and too early dinner. The quality and taste were muy sobroso!

Fantastic lunch today! We were tired and hungry after hiking Bear Creek trail, and found this gem on the way home. It is easy to miss (name on the sign is small) so pay attention to your gps. It is directly across from Coca Cola bottling. We dined outside but went inside for the bathroom which was immaculate! Love a clean bathroom. We started with guacamole which came with house made tortilla chips, still warm. Then we went with tacos and enchiladas. Everything was fresh and delicious. We were all thrilled with our meals and will absolutely be back.

Great food, great people and a lot of fun. Small restaurant with personal service and, simply put, a very worthwhile experience.

Delicious food, excellent service in a clean, festive space. Tacos (I had al pastor y carnitas) were flavorful with plenty of meat. Nice people. Today was my first visit but I'll be back here!

This place is clean as a whistle and has the best authentic food! The tacos are to die for. A must try while in Sanford.

First time in Sanford. I figured all the great reviews could not be wrong and they were not!Husband and I shared chips and guacamole which were both fresh. He had a chicken taco and a taco marinated in pork. I had an asada taco and chorizo taco. All were excellent. The place was very clean and the service great.
