This is exactly the type of restaurant that is pretty, well decorated, nice in every way.... So, you would expect the same about their food.... WRONG ! It is more of the same, with a high tag price. Please: offer me something else but grilled salmón? apple pie? Caprese Salad? tiramisu ? Come on ! Be more creative! You can... More

It is a fusion food with a good chef behind scenes. We went 6 people and order different plates all of us walk out with satisfaction. Good service, Good wines and prices not to high.

Food is a creative design of flavors, combinations of salvadorian traditional food with gourmet elements build a very interesting short menu, I loved the strong ethnic components like cilantro. All the food is tasty, well prepared and well presented. Great location between Col. Escalon and San Benito. Has a nice terrace (outdoor seating) and small rooms for private dining. Good... More

My first trip to Esperanto was GREAT and I will definitely be back. The patio seating was wonderful and made for a great way to enjoy the beautiful San Salvador weather. I started had the Tuna Tartare which I HIGHLY recommend. It is a great size for one or two people and had a very fresh taste. I ended my... More

Have eaten here at least three times over the last year, and I've found it to be sometimes spectacular, always creative, and sometimes just off. At least they are pushing the boundaries of cuisine in San Salvador. Sometimes they just don't quite make it, but it's still worth the risk.

Esperato has a varied but cohesive menu, superb service that's not overdone and intimate environment that's not uptight. This restaurant has a formal area as well as a more "social" section too - both are inviting and receptive. A perfect addition for San Salvador.

Service was superb, the dining area dubs as an art gallery. I had "Steak and Eggs", perfectly cooked meat, the right amount of blue cheese... Simply delicious! I recommend arriving early or making a reservation.

With out a doubt, Esperanto has the best ribeye in El Salvador. Adicionally, The Bull Tail is spectacular. Numerous other plates are creative, original and great. I highly recomend this restaurant.
