I ordered the Huevos with green and red sauce. The green is very hot. It tastes great. Everything is excellent. The rice and beans have a different taste than Mexican and I like it a lot. Mmmm the fried plantains are so good and Salvadorian tortillas I enjoyed very much. I highly recommend the breakfast that I had.
Customer service very welcoming
Best Central American restaurant in Long Beach!!! You won't be disappointed.

La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery is a local gem in LB that offers delicious and fresh pupusas, caldo de res, chilaquiles, and hilachas. The cozy and homey ambiance adds to the dining experience, making it a favorite among LB locals. The staff is friendly and attentive, with servers like Jorge providing top-notch service. Customers appreciate the little tortillas served as an appetizer and the accommodating nature of the staff, who allowed a birthday celebration with a cake from outside. Many diners praise the pupusas, which are crispy on the outside and filled with cheesy, savory ingredients, especially the classic cheese and pork combo. The curtido (pickled cabbage) and salsa are also highly recommended for their tangy flavor. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes such as Huevos with green and red sauce, which is very hot and tastes great, along with dishes like Desayuno Chapin, platanos fritos con crema, frijoles revueltos with queso fresco, and the kids pupusa meal with apple slices, frijoles, and rice. The rice and beans have a different taste than Mexican food, which many customers enjoy. The fried plantains are especially praised for their flavor. Beverages like Jamaica and Tamarindo agua frescas complement the meals well. The atmosphere remains laid-back and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for casual dining with friends. Overall, La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery is a community staple, worth supporting and returning to for tasty food and excellent service.
