La Esperanza - Knoxville

We had tacos de carnitas and caldo de rez today. Everything was fantastic! The tacos had a lot of meat in them, and the tortillas had good flavor. We will definitely return!

I was looking for a Mexican restaurant. The is more like a Cafe inside a store. I am vegetarian and there were no vegetarian choices so I ordered guacamole and it was brown. Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options

Delicious hidden gem! The restaurant has plenty of seating in the back of a grocery store. Beer is available.The bucket of chips (fresh and warm! keeps arriving along with delicious salsa ?Our server was attentive and brought packaging for our remaining chips and salsa after we were completely stuffed. We had three steak tacos, two meat (chicken and steak quesadilla, and two sopes: one chicken and one roasted pork. We slowly finished it all.Everything is fresh and made onsite. You won't find anything better if you are traveling through, like we were.Make the stop! Not far off the highway. Vegetarian options: Fish options, many vegetables available to sub for meat dishes. Beans, rice and avocado available. Kid-friendliness: This is a grocery store with a restaurant. It is perfect for kids. Wheelchair accessibility: All flat surfaces. May need help to open the doors. Grocery aisles, so some are narrow. Accessing the restaurant area should be a good L shape entry.

The most authentic mexican resteraunt this gringo has ever walked into. Food was amazing and cooked right from the butcher case

I loved it here. Food tasting really good and you definitely get plenty. I got a chicken burrito and it was as long as my plate. The food was all fresh and flavorful. The service was prompted and nice. It was a very friendly atmosphere. My ol man got the shrimp burrito that was packed full of shrimp. My son got the kids chicken taco meal and only had the taco leftover. I had to bring half my burrito home.
