Esperanza's Restaurant & Bakery
Best of Breakfast
Esperanza’s Restaurant and Bakery of Fort Worth made Tripexpert’s Expert’s Choice Award list for 2022, joining six thousand other winners in 121 countries. While it may seem like a saturated list, only 2% of businesses receive this prestigious international award. The travel site determines winners based on professional reviews, but in its sixth year, Tripadvisor tweaked its deliberation process to avoid overlooking newer restaurants with fewer professional reviews to consider. The new procedure gives reviews from experts with a heightened understanding of the area and superior knowledge of the cuisine more weight. They will also be paying increased attention to remote destinations outside of major metropolitan areas as consumer tastes have shifted to more Covid-friendly venues.
There are two Esperanza locations, one off North Main street and another in south side. The family that owns and operates Joe T. Garcia’s, a Fort Worth staple, created Esperanza’s to be an extension of the franchise continuing its tradition of rich, authentic Mexican food. They offer breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and catering services. The restaurant continues to win awards and set itself apart since Joe T.’s won the James Beard Foundation Award for Excellence in 1998, a testament to the staying power of this family dynasty. Stop by the bakery for sweet bread or giant chicharrones and see what all of the fuss is about.
