La Esperanza has been my go to for Mexican baked goods. They also have a restaurant that serves up the best Pupusa's. Delicious
Great place to eat. Food was so flavorful and staff was super accommodating and attentive. Great music and vibe. Have to try the garnachas
First time customers. Waitress was very nice and gave good info on what to order. Complimentary fresh tortillas and bean paste was delicious! We ordered guacamole appetizer, pupusas and carne asada burrito. Pupusa's were the star of this meal! So fresh, flavorful and huge! Came with a cabbage slaw and tomato sauce. We definitely be back for those pupusa's!
I stopped by this afternoon to go to another store in this shopping center and saw that they had tamales advertised on the outside window. Tamales take up residence deep in my heart, so I figured I'd grab some to take home. So far I tried the pork and they were delicious. The meat is thick. I thought they might be more carnitas style, but they weren't. They also stuff them full of meat. They're not huge, but for the size, you definitely get your moneys worth and no, it's not mostly masa. They're well priced and they have both Mexican and Guatemalan style. This place is also a full fledged bakery! They have all kinds of cakes, flan, breads, and also the sweet breads. Staff was nice and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try more!
Amazing food and customer service. We will definitely be going back for more yummy food.
The service is good the waiters are friendly and attentive. Food is great very flavorful!
Authentic Central American food. They only have refried black beans as an option. Decadent food and helpful service. Should definitely try it out.
My mother decided that she was hungry and made me go on a run to get her food. She handed me a $50 and told me that she wanted a carne asada plate and I could get what I wanted as well. I called and ordered my moms' food and a dish called pepian de pollo. I didn't check the prices before I went in so I was surprised when the bill came out to near exactly $50. That being said, I also didn't know my one meal was going to last 3. The chicken stew was rich and delicious. It wasn't spicy but had deep smoky flavor. It came with rice, some thick tortillas (like the consistency of a pupusa), and something wrapped up on the side in the shape of chicken leg. When I opened the package, it was a tiny herb filled tamal. Shoved that right inside my soup and ate it up. If you have a nut allergy, I think I saw a couple of dishes that had it but they can be easily avoided. I didn't have any reactions to anything I ate. Enjoy!
