La Esperanza Restaurant

This place was Cousy and comfy. I ordered combo fajita and pupusas ( with a MUST TRY) comment on the menu. I also ordered to drinks as I will share a photo. My scores: Horichita ( brown drink) : too sweet to drink 2/5 Tamarindo: ( orang drink) : smooth taste 4/5 Fajita: taste good and smelled good 5/5 Pupusas : I didn’t like it! Too oily which felt unhealthy! Maybe others liked it but I didn’t In general nice place and friendly people, maybe I have to try other foods and snacks next time

I was craving tamales, and my husband mentioned La Esperanza because it’s right down the street from us. We placed a pick-up order over the phone, and they said it’ll be ready in 15min. So we drove down to pick it up, and it was ready. Yay! The restaurant itself is small, and it looked like you could dine in. They have alcohol as well if you want a drink. We went home, and we dug right in. We ordered tamal de elote, tamal Mexicano, tamal Guatemalteco, platanos, and a slice of tres leches cake. The tamal de elote were just okay. They were steaming and were very hot, which is how we like it! The other tamales however, were cold. We had to put them in the microwave! That’s the worse! We only traveled literally two minutes, they should not have been cold. The platanos were hot and yummy. The tres leches cake was delicious! Very moist and spongy. Overall, the food was eh. I would probably only go back for the cake.

This restaurant here not only does it have Guatemalan and Salvadoran food it also has a some Mexican dishes. Prices are pretty reasonable, you can either dine inside or to-go. The Guatemalan Tamal was superb 👌, the horchata is made from scratch and it is also very delicious, it is a south American recipe so you will get e corn taste. The popusa revuelta did hit the spot. pretty good size. Keep in mind this is my "personal opinion" and you have to consume the food to evaluate it for yourselves. The service is a bit slow but that may be due to everything being prepared as ordered so it can all be fresh. The only negative thing is that their menus are a simple sheets of paper with back and white images.

I was craving authentic Guatemalan food and thought to try this place again. This time of course due to Covid19 we ate outside, but the server was very nice and attentive. He gave us some recommendations too which were very tasty. I had the atol de elote, which I recommend. The tamal was good, but it needed that flavor that I was expecting to get from a Guatemalan tamal. I enjoyed the black beans with handmade corn tortilla. The chicken pepian was delicious.
