Our Commitment

Esperanza Cocina de la Playa is committed to making https://esperanzamb.com/ accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that every guest deserves a welcoming, usable, and enjoyable digital experience, and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our Site.

Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines describe how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

We also strive to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.

Current Accessibility Features

The following features are currently implemented on our Site:

Skip-to-main-content link at the top of every page, allowing keyboard users to bypass navigation and jump directly to page content.
Visible keyboard focus indicators on all interactive elements.
Logical heading structure (H1 through H3) to help screen-reader users understand and navigate page content.
ARIA landmark roles for navigation, main content, and footer regions.
Touch targets sized to meet WCAG minimum target-size guidance on mobile.
Alternative text on meaningful images, with decorative images marked so screen readers skip them.
Color contrast for text and interactive elements meeting or exceeding WCAG 2.2 Level AA minimum contrast ratios.
Full keyboard navigation, including reservation and contact forms, without requiring a mouse.
Resizable text that stays readable when zoomed up to 200 percent.

Compliance Status

Our Site has been reviewed against WCAG 2.2 Level AA using automated and manual testing. We recognize that some areas may not yet fully meet these standards. We treat accessibility as an ongoing practice, not a one-time project, and we re-evaluate the Site on a regular basis.

Known Limitations

While we work toward full WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, we want to be transparent about areas that are actively being addressed:

Third-party content. Some functionality is provided by third parties, including our reservation platform (OpenTable), our delivery and pickup platform (DoorDash), our gift card provider, and embedded social media content. These services are operated by the third parties and may not fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We encourage those providers to prioritize accessibility and will flag issues we discover.
PDF and legacy content. Older PDFs (such as printable menus) may not be fully tagged for screen readers. An accessible HTML alternative is provided where possible; if you need an accessible version of a specific document, please contact us.
Ongoing remediation. Issues identified through testing or user feedback are prioritized based on impact and addressed in regular updates.

Alternative Access Options

If you have trouble accessing any part of our Site, please contact us and we will work with you to provide the information you need in an alternative format, including making a reservation, answering questions about the menu, or relaying information from a page you are unable to use.
