What a find! I first heard about their take-out tamales and bakery, which are both fabulous, but there is so much more to La Esperanza.On my first visit a few weeks ago I had the pupusa plate: One Revuelta (beans, chicharron and cheese) and one Chorizo and cheese and they were both delicious.Plate comes with rice and beans and includes Curtido (spicy slaw) and red hot sauce.A lot of food for a very reasonable price. I also had the Elote tamale with crema.One of the best corn tamales I've ever had.Last night I tired the Loroco and cheese pupusa and I have to say it was the best one so far. Also tried a Chuchito (Guatemalan tamale): full of pork and the warm tomato salsa was yummy.Service is impeccable and I even got a free appetizer both times (tortilla with the smoothest and most delicious black beans).I will coming here much more often, can't wait to try some other specialties on the menu.
If you are craving some delicious pupusas, this is not the place to go.I don’t feel bad for leaving a 1 star review because these people do not feel bad for ripping off customers.I ordered Revueltas but they put more beans than anything and no signs of cheese.I had to add my own cheese (picture on the right) 🧀! Also, they have no flavor ! Restaurants should be proud of their food and what they offer customers, especially with everything costing more these days, it’s not fair to be getting ripped off.I provided a picture so you can see for yourself that they do not stuff these pupusas.They are thin as paper.We only ate here because we were in the area and wanted pupusas but never again.
Excellent food..the prices are good with the Salvadorian and Guatemalan food, because is very traditional..special the Guatemalan Breakfast and Sopa de Gallina from Salvador!!!
