La Esperanza - Torrance

The food doesn't taste like Salvadoran food, the soup is just water and salt, it doesn't taste like real food, they need to change cooks or do something.

I love this spot and the food is the best. But they need to up their game on service. I like the owners, so I'm being generous with the review BY NOT SHARING CERTAIN details of my experiences as a long term customer. We do keep coming back...

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.

I had not been here in a while and wow! The very high prices really shocked me! Pupusas are $5, guacamole is $20, and garnachas are $22, just for reference.

I like the serenity of the place! The place is really quiet and you can enjoy your food that way. Very clean and fast service!
