La Esperanza

I’ve been here a couple times, once many years ago, and again yesterday.
Not that I have ever eaten food in Mexico, but I must imagine this is more authentic Mexican food that other popular places in the area.
The place is small and homey and they don’t serve alcohol, so come here for some good eats, not to get your drink on.
They have a lot of variety on their menu which includes the regular Mexican fare, but also some traditional things like gorditas that you won’t find at many other local restaurants.
I tried a few tacos and a gordita, and they were all pretty good. The tacos were tongue, chicken, and seasoned pork on soft corn tortillas (home made would have been awesome) with cilantro and onion. To drink I had a rice water which was really good if not a little sweet.
No waiting, quiet, no obnoxious people, good food, I’ll be back. I can always to tequila shots down the road.
