The carne asada meat is delicious but crazy chewy. I'd go for something else.

They can take way too long sometimes. I recommend calling ahead.

Love La Esquina, but unhappy that now they say I can't add cabbage to my order! La Esquina- CHANGE THIS PLEASE.. I even offered to pay extra for it and still got a "no"

Ok food but overpriced and the service is rude. There's a speakeasy in the back.

Ooh Mexico... This is the place
Nathan HamblenSeptember 13, 2012
It's in the tourist fleecing business now. Be prepared to turn away vague offers of chips and salsa ($15, not on menu), or just avoid the place.
Bert HallySeptember 18, 2011
Can't go wrong with the bistec tacos

Look around - all the people working behind the counter have two things in common - obesity and an attitude
Guillermo HMOctober 30, 2013
Decent food for around $12, but the attitude of the ladies at the counter makes it insufferable.
