The green sauce is spicy, bold, and completely addictive -- I'm still thinking about it. Beer was cold and hit the spot too. If you're anywhere near Hermosa Beach, this is the location to go to. The others don't compare. Do yourself a favor and just come here.

The Groupon covered the whole tab. The chicken was perfectly roasted with the perfect amount of seasoning. The plantains were perfectly cooked, and had a little caramelized sugar.

They were attentive and very kind. There is construction going on for the building but don't let it deter you. They're still open!

I came on a quiet weekday, and if no one is at the counter, make sure to ring the bell next to the cash register. I'm looking forward to coming back to try the smoothies and some empanadas. It seems like a small husband-and-wife operation, and everything is made to order. There's also plenty of seating available in the food court.

I would definitely go again for a quick bite. Satisfaction guaranteed.

It seems they're best known for their rotisserie chicken here, so I went with the half chicken served with rice and salad. My husband ordered the vainita chicken stir-fry since we had enjoyed it at the regular location. Since this is the express setup, everything is served on paper plates with plastic utensils. We didn't mind at all because the food was still delicious. I especially loved the rice soup that comes with the meals. My only complaint is that the green sauce was extremely spicy. I wish they offered a milder version because I didn't have anything to pair with my chicken. I also didn't see chicha morada on the menu, only Inca Kola. Overall, great prices, generous portions, and we'd definitely come back again.

I also love the mexican biscuits, Bought one to make breakfast sandwiches. It's savory and delicious (also huge). We got mexican tamales but next time I must get the guatemalan ones! Definitely Will be going back for more. Highly recommend La Esperanza.

The bakery is tucked into a small strip mall, and while it was buzzing with people inside, I'll admit I felt a bit intimidated approaching--there were two men outside staring, and I wasn't sure if they were customers or just loitering. Once inside though, it was a completely different vibe. The place was busy, with lots of people grabbing pastries, and the energy felt lively and welcoming. The conchas were fresh, soft, and had just the right amount of sweetness--you can tell they're made with care. Prices were very affordable, which made it even better. Even with the crowd, the service moved pretty efficiently. Overall, great pastries and worth the stop--just wish the outside experience felt a bit more comfortable. Next time I'll come earlier to hopefully grab conchas fresh out of the oven, and maybe give the tamales or chilaquiles a try.

We ordered the pollo saltado and the lomo saltado, and for me this is straight comfort food…read more Nothing fancy - just satisfying and consistently flavorful. The saltado was well-seasoned with tender meat and generous portions, and it always hits the spot. What really stands out, though, is the aji verde - their green sauce. It's bright, slightly spicy, and adds so much flavor to everything. I put it on the saltado, on the rice, and even on the bread. One small note - the soup felt watered down, which was a bit of a let down. Not a dealbreaker, but it used to be better. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Still, when I'm craving Peruvian comfort food in Torrance, El Pollo Inka is a good choice.

Ordered the desayunos (breakfast plates), they were super delicious! Tortillas are excellent! The horchata was okay, a little too sweet for my taste. I personally like the taste of all the spices in the Salvadorian Horchata, the sugar was over powering. We also ordered some pupusas revueltas to go. Those were okay, not bad, but not the best. The curtido was more like a coleslaw. It needed more time to pickle and much more spices. I didn't taste the oregano at all or pepper. The red sauce that typically comes with the pupusas tastes like canned tomato sauce. Very vinegar-y.

He ido a este lugar muchas veces y en varias ocasiones he tenido malas experiencias, pero hoy se superaron a sí mismos. ¡Incluso mi iglesia celebró allí la fiesta de Navidad de los líderes durante dos años seguidos! ¡Nunca más! Llamé a las 11 de la mañana para pedir yuca sancochada con salsa y curtido para recoger a las 11:30. Pregunté el precio y aclaré que solo quería salsa y curtido, sin chicharrón. Llegué al restaurante a las 11:45 y todavía me hicieron esperar 30 minutos. ¡Ni una disculpa por las molestias! La mesera dijo que el pedido no estaba listo y mintió diciendo que ella no había tomado mi pedido, que la chica que lo tomó ya se había ido. ¡Qué descarada! Si vas a mentir, hazlo bien y deja de llamar a la gente "linda", "mi amor", "corazón". Era la misma chica mintiéndome descaradamente. Finalmente me entregó la comida y era solo yuca sancochada. Quería cobrarme un dólar extra por el curtido y la salsa diciendo que la yuca se sirve asi. ¿Cuántos salvadoreños conoces que coman yuca sola? Le dije que habían perdido una clienta, a lo que respondió: "Haz lo que quieras, no voy a discutir contigo". ¡Qué asco! ¡Me da mucha rabia la falta de profesionalismo de esa mujer! ¡Nunca más mientras ella esté allí! The worst experience today at this place. I cant talk about their food, but their service leaves me dissatisfied to say the least. I have been to this place many times and many times I have had a bad experience but they outdid themselves today. My church even celebrated our leadership christmas party there two years in a row $$$!. No more! I called to place my order for yuca sancochada con salsa y curtido at 11am for pick up at 11:30am . I asked for the price and clarified i only wanted salsa y curtido, no chicharron. I got to the restaurant to pick up my order at 11:45am and they still had me wait 30 min. No apology or anything for the inconvenience! The server said the order wasn't in and lied saying she didnt take my order, the girl who took the order left already. Girl! You want to play that game, play it right and stop calling people linda, mi amor, corazón no! It was the same girl lying straight to my face. She finally gives me my food and it is plain yuca sancochada. She wanted to charge me an extra dollar for curtido y salsa. How many salvadoreans do you know eat plain yuca?? I let her know they had lost a customer to which she answer do as you wish, Im not going to argue with you. Ugh! Im discussed by that women's lack of professionalism! Never again while she's there!
