" I've had my fair share of tacos over the years but Taqueria La Esperanza ranks among the top! Their homemade tortillas alongside fresh ingredients make all the difference. Service was smooth and friendly. I'll be coming back for sure. CASH ONLY though, make sure to be prepared! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria La Esperanza was on my list of food trucks to try during my visit to Austin, and it did not disappoint! The gorditas were wonderful — crispy on the outside and full of savory meat on the inside. The staff was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. I would return for the flavor and portion sizes alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hadn’t heard of Taqueria La Esperanza before my visit to Austin, but I left with a full belly and a happy heart. The tacos were great, the flavors were authentic, and I loved the green salsa they served alongside. The staff was also pretty friendly, making it a pleasant experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had tried many taco trucks, but Taqueria La Esperanza stands out! The tacos were all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. My favorite was the carne guisada because of its bold flavors and richness. The portions were adequate and definitely filling. The only downfall was the wait time, but it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This food truck is a hidden gem! The staff is warm and welcoming. I had the gorditas and they packed in lots of flavorful fillings! Their attention to detail makes each taco a work of art. I’ll be recommending this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply one of the best taco spots in Austin! I’ve been following this food truck for years since they used to be parked in a different location. The flavors are still as good as I remember, which speaks volumes. Tacos and gorditas are must-tries, they never fail to satisfy. Can’t recommend this place enough! Remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" While en route to another taco place, we were intrigued by the sight of this food truck. We decided to stop, and what a great decision that was! The salsa was deliciously spicy, and the tacos were stuffed with flavorful meat. It was a delightful surprise that turned our night around. Highly recommend trying this place if you're around!
