La Esperanza Restaurant Pilsen

2nd time eating there, we had to go back! Delicious 😋 food. Their sauce is mouthwatering. I had chilaquilles and hubby had sopes. The sopes are huge!

Service was so friendly.

Moderate pricing and worth it!

My wife and I decided to come here after getting tired of waiting in line at the always chaotic El Milagro, we were pleasantly surprised by the chill atmosphere, quality service and food just across the street. A stark contrast, but just as exceptional.

I came here for the mole and now I see why La Esperanza won Best Mole at Mole de Mayo. Honestly, it’s on another level. I’ve had mole before and thought I liked it, but this one just hits different. The sauce is super rich and velvety, like it’s been simmering all day. Smoky, earthy, a little sweet, then every so often you catch a tiny kick of spice. Each bite keeps you hooked.

The chicken was tender and juicy, but really it’s just the delivery system for that sauce. I kept dragging every piece through it like I wasn’t about to let a single drop go to waste. Portion size was spot on, left full but not weighed down.

The place has this chill, cozy vibe, nothing flashy, just comfortable. The staff was super friendly too, joking around and making you smile while you eat.

If you’ve never had mole or you think you already know mole, this is where you start. I’ll be back for sure.

Friendly, Delicious, and authentic, what else could you ask for?! Stop in and enjoy a meal. I had the milanesa de res this time around it comes with the crispiest shoe string fries and rice beans and small salad which are standard.

This place was recommended by a lady we just met on the street. This will be our new eating spot. The owner is very friendly and inviting. The tacos were delicious.
