La Esquina is a Mexican restaurant that offers delicious cuisine. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing great portions at good prices. The restaurant has a warm atmosphere and is authentic, not catering to tourists. They serve classic dishes like carne asada street tacos and fresh margaritas. Customers can even request a secret spicy Habanero salsa. The food is top-notch, with items like quesadillas and tacos receiving high praise. The chicken mole was especially excellent—rich, flavorful, and making diners eager to try more of the menu. The al pastor street tacos are fantastic, full of flavor and cooked just right. Fish tacos and other dishes are prepared with care and are hard to find at a typical Gringo Mex restaurant. Visitors will find a simple, no-frills, authentic place that feels like a small-town Mexican restaurant—a true, real deal experience. Though it may be a bit pricey for Mexican food, the rich sauces and genuine flavors make it well worth it. Whether you speak Spanish or not, you will feel welcomed at this cozy spot. For those who like things really hot, the secret Salsa with Habanero is available—just ask in Spanish. Overall, La Esquina offers a great, relaxed atmosphere with authentic cuisine that stands out from the over-the-top dining scene.
