“The edges had that perfect crisp, like candy for meat lovers”
You can tell the steak tacos are of great quality. There’s only two negatives about my overall experience.
Order two tortas and all I had inside of it was meat, lettuce, and a little bit of cream—no avocado, tomatoes, or onions.
First time going here and very disappointed on the quality and amount of food for the price. 60$ that went to waste.

“September 5, 2025 Esparza’s Tacos is a fantastic spot with delicious food and generous portions.”
September 5, 2025 Esparza’s Tacos is a fantastic spot with delicious food and generous portions. One detail I really enjoyed was how they serve pickled carrots on the side, they were tangy, flavorful and such a tasty addition to the meal. I ordered a burrito and it did not disappoint. It was packed with plenty of meat, seasoned well and full of flavor in every bite. I really appreciated that they don’t hold back on the portions, which makes the meal even more satisfying. Overall, Esparza’s Tacos delivers on both quality and taste. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more from their menu. —————— September 9, 2025 Coming here for the second time, I ordered two tacos to go around 10:10 PM, and I’m really glad I stopped by. The tacos were packed with plenty of meat, making them super satisfying. This place is definitely going to be my go-to spot for tacos. I also love the pickled carrots they include with takeout. The food here is absolutely delicious. —————— September 10, 2025 I came here to dine in again for the second time around 9:50 PM. I ordered the steak torta dinner and a guava drink. The guava drink was very refreshing and the torta was really good too. After finishing the torta, I ended up ordering one more steak taco because the meat was so flavorful. —————— September 14, 2025 I really like this place a lot. I tried the menudo and I have to say it’s full of flavor and absolutely delicious. They only serve it on weekends, so I was glad I got the chance to try it. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something new and I’m happy I did because I really enjoyed it. All the staff here are also super friendly, which makes the experience even better. I picked up my order at 9 PM and took it to go since I was tired and getting home late from work.

You know you’re in for an incredible taco experience when the tortilla is just slightly fried, crispy at the edges, golden, and sturdy enough to hold every juicy bite without falling apart. That’s exactly what Esparza’s Tacos delivers. The moment I picked up my plate, I could tell this wasn’t your average taco spot. The vibe was casual but lively, with that unmistakable aroma of seasoned meat sizzling on the grill drifting through the air, immediately mouthwatering. I went for the holy trinity: asada, al pastor, and lengua, one of each and each taco felt like its own masterpiece. The asada was bold and rustic. The beef was grilled to perfection, charred in all the right places, juicy, and slightly smoky. Seasoned with just salt, pepper, and lime, it let the meat speak for itself. Every bite was elevated by the crunch of the golden tortilla and the brightness of freshly chopped onion and cilantro. Then came the al pastor. This taco hit every note, sweet, savory, spicy. The pork was marinated in a rich adobo, kissed by the flame on the spit, and paired with tiny bits of pineapple that added a juicy contrast. The edges had that perfect crisp, like candy for meat lovers. And the lengua, wow. Tender doesn’t even begin to describe it. The beef tongue was velvety and rich, with an almost buttery texture that melted into the warm tortilla. The seasoning was minimal, letting the natural flavor of the meat come through, and it worked perfectly. What really tied everything together was the tortilla itself: crispy on the outside, soft inside, and able to soak up all the juices without becoming soggy. Add a dash of their smoky, slightly spicy house salsa, and every taco went from delicious to unforgettable. Esparza’s didn’t just serve me tacos, they gave me a moment, a reminder of what great food is supposed to taste like. If you’re a taco purist or just someone chasing flavor, do yourself a favor: go. And get the lengua. You won’t regret it.

“It was absolutely delicious.”
It was absolutely delicious! I want out with my family to eat and I’m usually very picky when it comes to Mexican food, but it exceeded my expectations. I had a torta de areachera and I’ve never devoured a torta as fast as I did. They fill up the torta and are not stingy with the meat. The only con for me was that they didn’t add enough lettuce, but other than that it was great. The aguas were really good, they actually tasted natural and I had a limonada and my mom had guava. Overall, I would come again and try something else in the menu!

“Loved every single thing.”
Loved every single thing. Exceeded my expectations! The fact that they still serve the pickled carrots and jalapeños is a big plus. The salsa has a spice that creeps up on you. I had 4 tacos, chorizo, al pastor, and arrachera. My favorite was the al pastor with the pickled onions they give you

“This restaurant is a MUST TRY.”
This restaurant is a MUST TRY! This is the only place that I will eat tacos de arrachera from, which says a lot. We loved the barbacoa tacos, and my hubby stated that this was the best tripa tacos he has ever had. The salsa and pickled carrots were a great addition to our food. The chocolate and banana milkshake is my absolute favorite drink. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Food was out quick, came out piping hot and correct. The inside of the restaurant was super nice, clean and well decorated. It seems like they are open late. Definitely worth the drive for us, and we will be coming back soon. I didn’t totally love the al pastor taco, but it wasn’t the worst either. The horchata looked a little watered down or maybe not as concentrated. Again, might just be our own preference, but it was still passable.
