    Tacos al pastor and chips
    Cara W.

    Simple but delicious. The tacos al pastor can't be beat. Chips are perfectly crisp and fresh. Sauces are powerhouses of flavor. Just know it is cash only.

    Pinto bean tostada with avocado, onions, tomato, peppers, cotija cheese, lettuce, sour cream! AMAZING
    Kellie W.

    This place is AMAZING! It's a total hole in the wall..part restaurant..part grocery store. La Esperanza is about as authentic as you can get when it comes to Mexican food. The menu (written on a dry erase board) is in Spanish and the servers speak very little English. The food is FANTASTIC! I had the very best tostada..best I've ever had. I think this restaurant is one million times better than any of the authentic ones in Lexington. It is so worth the drive! My pinto bean tostada (I am a vegetarian) was so good..it didn't even need sauce. It had so so so much flavor. I can't rave enough about this place. I can't wait to go back and try other things. My friend had a torta and I tried it and it was also fantastic! Please please please visit this restaurant if you are nearby. I only speak a little Spanish but was able to order easily. The staff is very accommodating!

    The tacos al pastor are always awesome. Better if they're serving them sidewalk-side when the weather is better. Amazeballs.

    Excellent grocery store that is well stocked and clean. I generally find everything I want although…read moreI often use their Clicklist and find that many products are "in store only" which is a little frustrating. Overall, though no complaints, the staff is very helpful, the quality of fresh items is very good. my only suggestion/wish is that they would carry more "ethnic products" by expanding their Hispanic, Asian, etc. sections with with actual high-quality products from these regions

    With the coronovirus advisories to avoid crowds, this week I tried two Kroger offerings that were…read morenew to me: (1) pick up ordering and (2) home delivery. They both worked great. For the pickup, my only problem was finding the pickup spot (it's behind the pharmacy pickup window....on the south wall of the building); the clerk delivered the bags to my car and gave me a receipt clearly denoting what was there and what was out of stock. Good service! Only added cost would have been approx $5 but waived for first few orders. For the delivery, the system sent me status when the picking began, updated on every item not in stock and offered substitutes for my response. Actual delivery was within 15 minutes of my request and very pleasant delivery person. Only added cost was approx $9 for pick and deliver. These are two excellent services and others should try....especially if you're ill, homebound, or if you're trapped in a pandemic!
