Taqueria La Esperanza

I’ve been going to the taco stand on Riverside and they started slacking and their meat was very dry. So I decided to check this place out. I love how humble the man is. Some nights he’s the only cook but still manages to make wait time short. Taqueria La Esperanza has very juicy meat. I order the Gordita de pastor! Their fajita is great too. Way better tortillas and pastor than the taco stand on Riverside. Also, I noticed there’s all sorts of different races and cultures eating here and they say they’re regulars. I think that says a lot. How awesome is it that other cultures can appreciate this cuisine. Give them a try and I promise you wont be disappointed. they’re location changed a little, they are located on the same street and area except they’re now at the Moreliana Meat Market parking lot (back).

This is a hidden gem, I have been coming here for years! (10+!) their fajita ranchera tacos are big and generous, lots of meat lettuce cheese and not to mention the flavor. They are delicious! Their salsa verde is da bomb if you are on the spicy side.
I have been here drunk, sober and everything else in between and their tacos never disappoint! It looks like they are moving behind la moreliana meat market just down the road about a block or so soon, but I will sure follow for as long as I live in Austin.
These guys need to open a restaurant! They are open until 3:00am which is always a good thing. If you have not tried it, then do yourself a favor and go!

Oh my gosh! These guys have it going on, and by «it» I mean some damn good food that kicks any preconceived notion of what Carne guisada actually is. Marinated beef in a huge burrito for only six dollars is the way to go.

Seriously some of the best tacos in town. Highly recommend the barbacoa, carne asada and al pastor. Tortillas are delicious. One of my favorite taco trucks, and I LOVE taco trucks.

Okay, I work 12pm — 12 am sat & sun. No
biggie, but 12hr take some getting use too. But due to working in an environment I enjoy, I am now adjusted, even at 60+, and find myself energized. Just a little background that thinking about these tacos and that delicious spicy jalapeño, slighty creamy sauce, gets me through those 12 hrs. It is 1:30 am and I just woofed down 3 chix tacos, after 12 hrs of not wanting any other food, but my tacos. And I brought food to work (grilled salmon pasta salad made with a fresh garlic, white balsamic dressing made that am before work, and did not touch. Great lunch for tomorrow. This food truck is the Bomb! Regardless, but hope it remain low key, so the food remain DELICIOUS. Off to bed, after watching TV recordings, as I smack my lips in total taco satification.

Awesome little taco truck. It’s a one man operation, that’s open from 3:00 PM till late at night. I’ve had both the tacos and the burritos here, and both are amazing. No type of meat will steer you wrong, but I’d recommend al pastor, or barbacoa.
The tacos are nice tacos, either flour or corn tortillas, with meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. They’re decent sized for around $ 2.50; 2 should fill you up, 3 max.
The burritos are where this place really shines. for $ 5.50, you get a massive burrito (larger than chipotle, for reference), with almost a pound of meat, beans, lettuce, tomato, and onions.
Another shining star of Taqueria La Esperanza is the salsa. It’s closest relative is dona salsa at taco deli, but less spicy. Overall, a great, simple trailer for authentic Mexican street food.

This place is really good, i was normally used to cali mex which has a different sort of taste than tex mex but this is one food truck i enjoyed more than others in texas. They are VERY generous with there meat portions. Overall a good burrito.

I do not know why this place didn’t have a Unilocal page created already, but here it is now! This taco truck is AMAZING! It is in front of the beer barn and open late. So perfect for those drunken nights when you are craving tacos, which I find myself doing way too often these days. The beef fajita taco=amazing. The chicken taco=delicious. The bean and cheese taco=yummmmmy! The rest I haven’t tried because I can’t not order these, but friends of mine also rave about this place! They also have MASSIVE burritos FILLED with goodness… for like $ 4.50. WTF?! So cheap! The tacos are all $ 2. :) :) Service is very friendly, love the guy that runs the stand :) Always a good experience going there, and will probably end up there later tonight! (cross my fingers)
Oh and the SALSA… SOOOOOOOOO GOOD AND SPICEY! And he gives you a ton of it to go!
