The food was amazing. Ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly. Some friends were not sure what to order and the server nicely provided recommendations. This place serves really good Mexican food with a family vibe, I highly recommend.

As a chilaquiles lover, this place has an amazing plate of chilaquiles. The serving was worth the prize. My eggs were perfectly cooked too.

This place was good! Street parking can be hard to find in the area but eventually we found some. Parking on Sunday is free right now, so that was good. I ordered some breakfast it was pretty good. Decently priced. And the service was good. Place looks small from the outside but it's pretty long and has quite a bit of seating. We got there in between breakfast and lunch so was emptying out. Salsa were real good and tasty too

Highly recommend the mole chicken enchiladas! The mole was rich and spiced well, and the portion was large enough for me to split into two meals. I usually find the cheese to be overbearing in enchiladas, but the cheese was just the right amount here. Since it's Texmex style, the dish is normally served with rice and refried beans. I personally dislike refried beans, and they were nice enough to sub the beans for more rice. I do wish they had the option to sub for black or pinto beans. My meal was $20 post tax and tip, which seems a bit on the pricier side but is reasonable considering the large portion. The interior is very homey and that atmosphere was reflected in the warm service. A great spot for Mexican food if you're in the area!

4/5 Tex-Mex Food with Vegan Menu I came with a group of friends and we tried a plethora of items. My favorite was the vegan Al pastor taco. The pastor was very flavor, I wish I ordered more! The vegan flauta was also very good. I was less impressed with the vegan enchiladas but still good overall. The margaritas were a highlight :)

La Esperanza restaurant is a great spot in Pilsen with vegan options. It's so helpful they have a vegan menu so you know you don't have to substitute anything. I got a vegan sope. It comes with vegan meat, lettuce, tomato, vegan cheese, beans and avocado. It was so delicious and the portion is pretty big. I got stuffed with one. I also tried a potato and soyrizo taco. The flavor was amazing. I definitely will come back and try more items off their menu. I recommend this place everything was delicious and tasty.

Incredible lunch! This was the best mole I've ever had! I got the cheese enchiladas with mole sauce. It's a large plate with rice and beans and three enchiladas. Also had an asada taco and it was excellent! Chips and guacamole with the red and green sauces were delicious. The chips are a little thicker and have a good crunch. Red sauce is spicier than the green sauce. Guac tasted fresh and it's a large serving. Service was impeccable. They told us that everything is made to order and even the juices are made on the spot.
