Food was ok. My husband and I ordered the carne asada tacos. The meat was super charred. It was unusual because it didn’t come with cilantro and onions, like we are used to. They brought a little bowl of salsa verde and some chopped tomatoes, onions, and green peppers to put on the tacos. The rice was pretty bland. The chips with the chips and salsa tasted pretty stale, but the salsa was awesome. No alcohol here either. We wanted a margarita after hiking.

So far every time I have visited this establishment I have never been disappointed. I had ordered two fajitas mixed,a Mexican pizza,and queso Blanco dip. And let me tell you I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. Everything was correct and everything was hot, there Mixed fajitas were hot and the peppers were fully cook though and the meat was tender. The Mexican pizza was a simple tortilla,ground beef, and queso blanco cheese, and the queso…well the queso is always a good choice. The waiters and waitresses are nice and always amazing. The atmosphere is good most of the time, sometimes is can be a little busy but most of the time it’s not too packed.

La Esperanza has been in Middlesboro for nearly 15 years. The service is fine, and the food is perfect. The salsa and chips are among the best in the tri state area.

Nice clean dining area. Service was good. I had a chicken fajita salad. It was so covered in cheese sauce then sour cream that it was more like a thick soup than a salad.
