Double As
We are traveling thru the area and chose this place based upon it having the highest rating…. Well deserved! We enjoyed the carnitas and steak and the chicken taquitos… great salsa and excellent spicy margaritas. They got my vote, and we’ll be back!

We was feeling sick before leaving….! I won’t go into details, but you need to make sure the food is not bad and cooked thoroughly! That’s was 20 minutes ago. I’m hoping I don’t need to update the review further!
Good Luck. God Bless!

Food was amazing and well priced! Portion sizes are large and the food is filling. Ordered shrimp fajitas, chicken tacos, and another chicken dish. Also had their chips with salsa and we ordered guacamole! Very fresh and tasty food!

Best food ever.
Chico is the best server here. You are very lucky if you get him

Wish the waitress had paid more attention. She was nice but it took a minute before we got our orders put in even though we had our menus shut and attempted eye contact. I have nothing but respect and understanding for servers because I used to serve myself! But the restaurant was no where busy during this time. At one point after receiving our food, I tried to request a small bowl of pico de gallo but my server was no where to be found so I had to ask another gentleman to relay the message. The server was not rude and I don’t think any of it was intentional but she could’ve definitely paid a little more attention. All and all, food was wonderful and we had a good meal.

Great food and prices. In the super competitive field of Mexican restaurants in the area LA Esperanza is my favorite and go to. Even when they are super busy the service is always excellent and food is amazing.

Located in a strip mall behind the McDonad’s off of Pineville Rd. The restaurant has two large seating areas. It’s not fancy, but the food and service certainly made it a good choice. Service was prompt and several people kept checking in to refill my drink and bring more chips and salsa dip (great teamwork). The chimichanga meal was delicious and filled my plate. Meal prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a good place to eat while visiting Cumberland Gap or anytime.

One word sums it up: delicious. The food is perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. If you’re craving Mexican food, this spot in Middlesboro, KY, is a must-try.

Delicious! I’m not a lover of Mexican food nor restaurants. Generally, I avoid them both. However, after observing two of my friends enjoy their Fiesta salad, I had to have one. My salad was delicious! It was certainly worth the short drive from the hotel, where I stay when visiting Middlesboro, to La Esperanza. Not being from the Middlesboro area, I’m still learning the “in’s and out’s” of the local restaurant scene. Middlesboro doesn’t offer a great deal of choice nor diversity when it comes to restaurants and food options. Fortunately, my friends at the Sleep Inn & Suites, turned me on to La Esperanza and the Fiesta Salad. You have three choices for protein; chicken, steak or mixed (chicken and steak). I enjoyed the chicken. The salad is large and was prepared fresh. I ordered to go and took it back to the hotel. La Esperanza is apparently very popular, with both locals and tourists. On the Thursday night I visited, it was doing a very brisk business, both dine in and take out. Although I didn’t dine in, the restaurant facility and dining room appeared very clean and well maintained. The staff appeared very friendly. The kind gentleman who took my order was very pleasant and efficient. My total wait time from order to walking out the door was no more than 10 minutes. Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of Mexican cuisine, but the Fiesta Salad has certainly made me a fan of La Esperanza! I will return for another salad. Thanks for an excellent take out experience!!
