What User doesn't like about La Esperanza:
I was so disappointed with the tamales I ordered. Extremely dry, some already broken in half. Appears that they were leftovers that were just overly reheated with the sauce still on them and the sauce was no longer even a sauce consistency. I LOVE tamales, but will never order them from this restaurant again. View all feedback. What User likes about La Esperanza:
La Esperanza is the top spot for authentic Mexican food in the area. My husband, who is from San Antonio, will only dine at La Esperanza. The menu offerings are beautiful and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and we have been loyal customers for over two decades. View all feedback.

I chose to order takeout from this restaurant and I'm hoping that it was just an off day. The sauce on my tamales was slightly burnt, which was disappointing.
