This is a great Mexican spot with a good amount of seating. The ambience is typical of this type of restaurant, but can get a little loud with the seating dispersed around the bar. But there's enty of room! Service is quick, attentive and hospitable. For dinner, I ordered the Pechuga LaMexicana and my wife ordered the a chicken dish with a green pumpkin seed sauce(which for the life of me I can't find the name of).

For the main course, I ordered the enchiladas rojas (enchiladas in red sauce), which were the best enchiladas I've had in years. I've had some others at some local establishments and in some cases the red sauce had a strong tomato base, which I do not care for - the red sauce in use at La Esperanza was a chili base with just enou

The food portions are great! The burrito was bigger than my arm! Sangria was delicious. Our server was absolutely wonderful! This was our first visit and we can't wait to come back!
