Went for a work related Christmas party. They put out a nice selection of appetizers, and then a buffet. All the food was enjoyable. This was my first time here. The parking in the area is challenging.

Pizza was not really anything significant I asked for “fresh mozzarella” but it was tasteless Worst is that I found two hair in the pizza

Another great meal. Tonight we had calamari as an appetizer. It was fresh, lightly breaded and more than enough for 2. I had the Pappardelle. An amazing beef and mushroom ragu over broad pasta!! My husband totally enjoyed his Linguini Mare Monte. Pasta with fresh tomatoes, broccoli rabe and garlic loaded with shrimp, mussels and scallops. Both dishes were huge and enough to box up and take home. Love this place.
We had a great time overall despite that our waitress was not so friendly but we overcame her vibe and embraced the uniqueness, music and great ambiance that La Esquina offers. Bartending staff when we moved from our table were fantastic specially Oscar's cocktails. Great job

Mesas extremadamente juntas, estás literalmente pegado al comensal de la mesa de al lado, de hecho para entrar a la mesa la juntan a la de al lado, muy incómodo, cada vez que pasa el camarero golpea la silla dónde estás sentado, con sus piernas, porque no hay espacio. La maitre muy maleducada, después de 50 minutos de reloj, nos pidió que nos levantemos de la mesa a nosotros y a la mesa de al lado que llevaba mucho más tiempo que nosotros, porque había mesas esperando. Si no pueden asumir tantos clientes, que no hagan tantas reservas para después echar a los clientes que ya han consumido. La comida recomendada por la camarera, absolutamente insípida y seca, pedimos todos los tipos de tacos que tenían y ni uno solo, nos gustó. Comimos en el Chelsea market en otro mejicano, el doble mejor y a mitad de precio. Por tanto mala relación calidad precio. Tardaron en servir la bebida, casi habíamos terminado cuando sirvieron la cerveza que pedí y no la había terminado y ya nos estaban levantando de la mesa. Una vergüenza de lugar. Una decepción total, sitio abarrotado incómodo, mala comida y mala educación por hacernos levantar de la mesa

Had a great time at La Esquina. The service was quick and efficient and we felt that we were well attended to throughout the whole meal. The food was flavorful and delicious. Would definitely come back!

We ordered shrimp tacos purposely because they had no cilantro in it, we got tacos with cilantro. Quesadilla is very different from what you would expect. Overall didn't meet our taste and is very expensive

After picking up my wife at the airport my son and daughter-in-law took us out to dinner the food was very good and they know them and they meet you at the door and take you right to a table . The waitress was excellent I have never seen such service anywhere I have ever been the food unique loved it drinks are excellent as well
we tried a variety of different tacos, tostadas and drinks - and honestly they were all spectacular! i definitely need to go back again and would suggest to others but make sure you make a reservation!
UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING FOOD ! travelled from Sydney Australia fine dined at restaurants in NYC and this place IS MY FAVOURITE !!!! HAVENT HAD FOOD LIKE THIS IN A VERY LONG TIME. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS ! service was amazing looked after my allergies ! I'LL BE COMING BACK AGAIN !!!!!
The food used to be AMAZING! This time everything was super cold, the steak taquitos were completely stale and the tortillas were as hard as a rock. The elote callejero was also cold. The drinks were delicious and the music was still on point!

Cool place, limited food menu, good taste, a bit tight in there (but it is NYC)... There's a weird vibe, like it could happen but if it's not happening... for a Wednesday
great experience except for strictness with number of people in my party - had 7 people but 2 were running very late but then when they came later on they were met with some rudeness and resistance. the food and drinks were great though and a great value. great ambiance overall
Best girls night !!!! Amazing food and drinks, such a fun crowd, and the music was so much fun — we were dancing at our table the whole time! Only critique would be that it gets super hot down there so just be prepared for that
