La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery

Sat down, ordered & Waited 40 minutes for our drinks.. only to get them AFTER receiving half our order. Only to receive the other half completely wrong & beans were frozen cold fresh out the fridge.. all while being tendered by a waitress that prefers to be on her personal phone talking to friends on speaker. So gooodluck telling her the orders wrong.. she’ll be too busy on personal stuff.. worst experience ever.

The most fantastic, fresh, and wholesome meals and baked goods come from this restaurant. From the moment you sit down you’re welcomed and cared for like family with a plate of mini tortillas and beans to dip. We ordered the pupusa special (2 pupusas with rice, beans, and curtido.) with fresh Jamaica. Hard to overstate the care that went into these enormous savory pupusas. I got the veggie pupusa and the bean and cheese pupusas I added loroco to each one. Our server read back our order and she was careful to honor small requests. There are so many reasons why the thoughtful touches of these dishes were delicious. The veggie pupusa had vegetables that had been pre-charred so there was a mix of freshness and smokiness to the flavors. The generous portion of curtido was served in a glass with tongs and it had a lovely but not-too-spicy kick of jalapeños. If you like spicy, you can ask for their hot sauce which is scratch made, in house. When you receive the bill they have homemade candies on tiny spoons like a lollipop. I can’t say enough about the generosity of this restaurant, they are truly serving love with every bite. I can’t wait to return!

I’m a regular at this location it’s my go to spot when I don’t feel like cooking plus it’s around the corner from my house. I called around 8:15ish 3 times and they didn’t answer. We then walked to the restaurant and as soon as we walk in the register girl says “we’re only taking pupusa orders” I said that’s fine… my go to is always the pupusa special my family loves it. She’s ringing up a person ahead of us once it’s our turn the cook behind her tells her no more orders. I asked her what time do they close. She responded 9pm it was 8:25. I mentioned I called previously before coming and no one answered… she said she was taking orders over the phone and that’s why they didn’t answer but couldn’t take my order anymore. If your sign says open till 9pm they should still serve their customers. I was disappointed won’t be going back..

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.

Had been a few years since I initially went and went there again recently. It’s a good Guatemalan and Salvadoran restaurant. I had the Desayuno Chapin, wasn’t bad asked for sunny side up but they ended up over easy, chorizo wasn’t bad; the platanos fritos con crema, frijoles revueltos with the queso fresco were good. My lil one enjoyed the kids pupusa meal that has 2 of them with apple slices, frijoles and rice. The agua frescas were good had the Jamaica and Tamarindo. Instead of chips was given small tortillas with frijoles as appetizer. Would go again and try their other melas for lunch or dinner, went for a brunch meal this time around. Definitely check this place out and support your local Latin American restaurant!
