Taco Truck Esperanza

Decent tacos but customer service, in my opinion the worst! I’ve had to leave while ordering because of their terrible attitude. I’d much rather go to the other Esperanza truck. Salsa is so much better too

Best taco truck on this side of Washington, This place is underrated in my opinion compared to joints like qdoba an chipotle. Did I neglect to mention the burrito is even wrapped in a homemade flour tortilla you just can’t get that from corporate giants, and it’s open late.

I still crave this taco truck mightily. The carne asada tacos, at $ 1.25 each, are ridiculously good. I would pay three times that! Each taco comes on two corn tortillas with a little wedge of lime and some fresh cilantro, onions, and other deliciousness on top. They are small but so tasty. And there is a small fridge housed in the truck that has serve-​yourself salsas, two types. (I prefer the red salsa.)

This place is a true Mexican joint that operates out of a red bus, speckled with all kinds of slogans and is run by native Mexican speakers. It surprisingly gets a lot of business for being in the PNW, and I did not expect to see so many Mexican individuals. Very family oriented with children running around. Feels remniscent of the Mexican community in San Diego and near the border of Mexico.
The language of choice here is Spanish and is very authentic. In terms of service, I give this place a 2… they lack simple things like little plastic cups for the salsa and don’t offer water or napkins. They do not even attempt to speak English. And the lady working the window only beckons you when the food is ready. Not too friendly.
On the positive side, the portions are very generous and will hold you over for hours. Great tasting carne and doesn’t leave that awful aftertaste many so-​called Mexican Mexican joints leave. The green salsa was delicious! But I did not particularly like that the meat was chopped up into such small pieces. I prefer more chunks, and it also makes it easier to keep the burrito from falling apart.
Overall, 3 and a half stars. Was traveling through the Tri-​City area.

You want a quick lunch on the go, this is the spot. customer service needs a little work But the food makes up of it.

For years we have gone to Tacos La Differencia (across the street), but lately have been coming here. Corn tortillas for the mini tacos are homemade, and so tender. Everything fresh. Kids got the chicken and avocado quesadilla, we had the asada, and chorizo tacos. Not super salty, with (free) condiments like roasted jalepenos and onions, if you prefer.
And yes there is usually a person that speaks English, but it doesn’t matter. Just order, whatever you get will be good!
