Reviews for La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery in Long Beach, CA

Empanadas was delicious, but I'm so disappointed with the Pupusas it was missing something and replaced with a lot of something... else never ever again. muy desagradable y estoy triste! Not worth the money. Read more

Always great tasting food and the pupusas always hit the spot. I did order online and got shrimp, potato and cheese in 1 pupusa,... (paid the extra fee) and realized there wasn’t any shrimp in my pupusa just potato and cheese. Would give 5 stars but I wasreally craving shrimp and lost my hopes of satisfying that craving. But overall great food and great employees and I still planon coming back and enjoying their food. Read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! When i called to order on the phone, the woman who picked up had extremely great customer service and i... automatically enjoyed her energy. When i picked up my food, it felt inviting to walk in. If i knew the pupusas were going to beTHAT delicious, i wouldve tipped more! Will def be going back for lunch ! Read more

My gf brought me here, she said there is a location by her house, and I would love it. So we tried the Long Beach location, and... omg, it surely was an experience. This is a whole new cuisine for me, so I was excited to try it. I needed step by step guidingon how to eat everything, so I was very glad I did not venture by myself, always better when someone knows what’s goingon!!! I ordered the tongue dish, it was juuuuust delicioussss. A great culinary experience, I think I found a new classic. Lovedthe pickled cabage also. The beans were great, the rice, everything you would expect from a great meal. Very funny, engaging,warm personalities, the girl was hilarious, and very very friendly. The people always make half the experience for me, amd I cantell u, this is one of my new fave spots. I am coming back, with more friends!!! Read more

Dont be fooled by the location. It's in a not so good, very sketchy part of Long Beach. But once you walk inside, you will be... welcome with a warm hospitality. The staff are wonderful. Friendly and Welcoming. The food are amazing and all made fresh toorder. Rich, authentic mix of Guatemalan and El Salvadoran cuisine. Pupusas are authentic, come out piping hot, generous filledwith cheese, beans and meat. Filete al Mojo de Ajo (Swai Fish fillet Grilled and topped with Garlic Sauce) was Excellent! VeryGenerous size filet, perfectly grilled and seasoned well with garlic sauce. For dessert, we ordered the Empanadas with Cream.Perfect way to end our meal. I'm so glad that they opened one in Long Beach so I dont have to drive all the way in Torrance. Myonly negative critic is the lack of parking. But plenty of street parking in the area. Read more
