I needed some fajitas and fried fish on a Saturday night. You understand! lol. I had been hearing about La Esperanza for some time, so my wife and I made a trip. The food was wonderful! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The service was very friendly. We loved our server. The food took some time to come out but it was a Saturday night, so I don’t hold that against them. All in all a great dining experience.

La Esperanza is a great choice for authentic Mexican food. The rice and beans, al pastor tacos are delicious and must try. Drinks are great here as well.

First time dining in the restaurant in many years, and I was not disappointed. The server was attentive and pleasant, and we were immediately given chips and salsa to munch on with a follow-up on taking our drink orders. It took us a minute to figure out what we wanted, but our server kept checking in to ensure that we knew we were not forgotten about. We ordered the Centro Americano, Fajitas De Lujo, and side of Fried Plantains.. everything was delicious! The food came hot, and in a timely manner. The portions were huge, so the price to the amount of food was pleasing, and we had food to take home. We were pleased with our entire experience and will be back again soon. Note: my favorite to order used to be the Fat Alex's Burrito.

Had an excellent meal here the other day at a reasonable price. The guac is fantastic here, really creamy, and they give a bunch for the price. The al pastor burrito I had was tasty and enough to feed me for 2 meals. The flan desert was creamy and rich. I will be back!

This is our go to place for authentic Mexican cuisine. They have the best and biggest burrito (Fat Alex). My kids enjoy the mini Alex from the kids menu which is still large enough to feed an adult! The bar serves many types of Margheritas and beers as well as all other liquor creations. This restaurant is very popular so I advise you call in advance and make reservations. We were told when we called, reservations were not needed, but when we arrived, we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not. We were lucky to go early enough to get seated without one, but it could have been a long wait if it were busier.

Sort of weird parking lot. Quick turn in off the road, but there's a back entry. Food was okay. Pretty authentic I think because it was unseasoned and simple. Guacamole was good. Worked will with the fat Alex's burrito and the Carnitas de puerco. Carnitas de puerco was fairly plain. Should have taken notice of the salt and pepper shaker being well used. Rice and beans were fairly plain too. Horchata was good. 1 stall, 3 urinal restroom with paper towels.

Very good food and their margaritas are delicious! Citrus cilantro Margarita was incredible. The bartenders are very friendly and hilarious - good people and food vibe. Fat Alex Burrito is tasty and MASSIVE - probably weighs 5lb, LOL! And if you are not afraid of Goat; you MUST try their Barbacoa. The Barbacoa was tender and juicy. And while the Barbacoa is not the most visually attractive dish, it absolutely makes it up and then some with FLAVOR!

First time at this location for Mexican cuisine. Was met with an unfriendly hostess who advised that my party of 3 couldn't be seated within 5 minutes until the others arrived... The place had empty tables. 🙄 Regardless, our waitress (a friendly older lady) made up for the initial rude encounter. She was friendly and made some suggestions for our first time there. I had a watermelon margarita, which was perfect for the summer and tasted like a candy. Ordered guacamole to accompany the free chips and salsa. Also ordered the Cinco de Mayo combo with a pork tamale to split with my friend. Definitely enjoyed the dinner, and the opportunity to catch up with 2 friends. We lingered after dinner to continue chatting, and didn't feel rushed to leave (which was very nice). Definitely would recommend for a good, inexpensive Mexican meal in south jersey. Oh! And I was able to charge my car during dinner as they have a level 2 charger (Blink/Chargepoint) in the parking lot. There were 2 plugs, but one spot was ICEd out. Anyway, that was a nice surprise for me! ⚡️

The food was delicious 😋 drinks were also good and strong! 💪! I give it a 4 because the bar tenders where not to attending while we where there never asked if we wanted anything else we constantly had to get there attention to get another drink ! They were only attending there clients that obviously 🙄 go there a lot! Other than that it was good i will be back!

After having past by this restaurant countless of times, I finally decided to stop in for dinner. It was honestly exactly what I expected given the location. It had a bar atmosphere to it with tables for a more traditional dining experience. You get complimentary chips and salsa, which were tasty. The overall menu was solid with an array of Mexican dishes to try. Many of the dishes are a bit Americanized, as expected, but the food was savory, nonetheless. The guacamole and chips are very good and I highly recommend. I got the burrito with steak and the meat was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The burrito itself I wasn’t crazy about and can’t pinpoint why. All in all, I would come back here again for one of those lazy nights where I know I could get a solid meal for a decent price point.

We had five people in our dinner party last night and the best compliment was that the drink was good. Won't be going back.
