La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery

Tried La Esperanza Guatemalan and Salvadoran cuisine. Tried the Pepian beef stew, garnachas (mini tostadas topped with ground beef) and empanadas filled with meat and spices. Really good flavors, hearty portions, and friendly service. The tortilla appetizers came out hot and delicious with the black bean dip..

Hey dont skip this place the food 😋 😉 amazing, the service super friendly it's definitely a come back spot!

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 d

First time here. Drove from Anaheim due to word of mouth that food was very good. They did not disappoint. We tried Guatemalan and the Salvidorian dishes and all was great. We also did not head back home without stopping first to buy different pastries from their bakery. We'll definitely make a trip back here again soon.
