La Esperanza Bakery

Your Guide to Eating in South Sacramento | Eater SF

"No one better ever mention South Sacramento without bringing up La Esperanza. Hailing as the anchor of Franklin Blvd, this panaderia was opened by patriarch Salvador Plasencia in 1969. It’s now being operated by Natali Plasencia and her brothers, Salvador’s grandchildren. Visit the bakery for the best pan dulce in Sacramento, the grocery story for your fruits and vegetables, the tortilleria for your fresh tortillas and carnitas by the pound, all in one parking lot. Don’t forget to visit their sister restaurant, Los Jarritos at 2509 Broadway." - Illyanna Maisonet
