We have had tacos from La Cultura three times and have had an excellent meal, each time. Tortillas are fresh and the food is full of flavor and the service has been very friendly. I really appreciate the fact that Chef Esme graduated from Colorado Mesa University with an Associate's Degree/major in Culinary Arts. We love to support local, family run businesses.

VERY good food, affordable while still maintaining great quality. Arguably my favorite Mexican restaurant in this area.

Esme made us the Pork green chili combo plate and it totally Rocked the dinner! I have to try a different dish each time so it will take me a year to see what my favorite is!!!!

This is the most flavorful Mexican food I've had! Big portions loaded with tender, well seasoned meat and fish. The shrimp tacos was to die for! Thanks for your homemade with love cooking, Esme!!! We will be back a LOT!
Curran O'Brien
Best food in the area. Tacos were huge, way more food than we expected. Have to try the horchata!!
Joseph Kelleghan
Extremely good, we tried the asada, the carnitas, fish tacos and shrimp taco's and every one of them was amazing, and the service was excellent. Very happy to have this place come to town, will be back regularly.

Yummy food and friendly service! Highly recommend! I had a bean and cheese burrito with steak added in and it was very good. My whole family enjoyed their lunch!

Do yourself a favor. Go there. Order the super fries burrito. Hot fresh flavor bursting in your mouth. You'll thank me later. One of the best handhelds in the valley!!!

Esmeralda is the best!!!! We had a great lunch there today. I had the carnitas burrito and my boyfriend had chorizo and eggs and a small bowl of menudo. Everything was the BEST we have ever had. We will definitely be back next weekend for menudo and carnitas!!!! And the horchata was awesome as was the Jamaica limeade made with fresh flower petals!!!!

PLACE IS NOT CONSTANT! sometimes it okay... mostly reheated yesterday's leftovers .. I have a hard time paying $11 for a day old burrito..If u want anything fresh, you sit down and demand it!
First time in since new ownership. Hope to see you grow and thrive. Please come in and check it out. Very good food, don’t let the looks outside mislead. Portions are great we left full and happy. 3 great salsa to choose from. Fresh house made chips and salsa l.

Chef Esme is an artist. The homemade chips and salsa, the tacos and the Jamaica that takes 24 hours to make were all on point. Esme sat and talked to us about how she makes everything, it was incredible to see the passion she puts into what she makes. Stop reading this and go eat there!

We stopped in mid-afternoon after mountain biking. Ordered up a fish taco and a carne asada taco - generous size, street taco style, but bigger. Both were incredible, and coupled with the homemade salsas, top notch! The homemade chips were served hot and were also great. The homebrew Jamaica drink was on point! The owner, Chef Esme, was great, so passionate about making great food - she was awesome. Stop reading reviews and go get some of these tacos - you won't regret it.

My niece recommended La Cultura and after reading Esme's bio I had to try it. Let me tell you it is delicious!!! I love Mexican food and being from CA have had a lot of really good Mexican food but honestly I have never had shrimp taco's as good as the ones here. I also got 4 asada street tacos that did not disappoint! I love that they have a plant-based menu too, it is not often you see that in a Mexican restaurant. I'm going in soon for the Pozole because as far as I know they are one of the only places that have it in Fruita & GJ. I didn't take a pic of the food but trust me so yummy and they have drinks!!!
