Quesadillas.
RajFebruary 27, 2010
Fish taco horribly mis-spiced, ceviche also borderline unpleasant. But shrimp taco was spot-on, grilled ear of corn also tasty. Service not great. Overall a bit disappointing.

fabulous margarita
Joseph CatalanoJanuary 15, 2012
Get the grilled corn!
Iker AHSeptember 25, 2011
Overrated, underwhelming, bad Mexican proxy. I'm Mexican and a) We aren't assholes like the guys there; b) Real Mexican food is way better than that; c) We are friendly. Skip this place, trust me

Cool Entrance. Great grilled corn! Overrated otherwise...
Angel GrandeDecember 17, 2011
Food is great but cashiers don't know anything about customer service.
Keilon LawrenceAugust 2, 2013
Slow servers at 4 o'clock on Friday but the margarita is alright for $6

Food is ok! Disappointed that Guac was not on the menu
Matthew GordonSeptember 5, 2012
Food was good but my to-go order took over 20 minutes. If you were hoping for speed, I'd try somewhere else.
Jeff SandlerJune 8, 2012
The takeout containers are paper; not good when your food is saucy.

Long line, rude servers, and subpar food. But I keep coming back. One plus- they make off menu items if they have the ingredients.
Valentina CamachoApril 21, 2017
The food is good, but the service is terrible.

Cut the corn off the cob.

Bistec taco was okay. Fish taco was bland. Disappointed 😞
Adam Berlinsky-SchineJune 18, 2017
Worst service I've ever experienced. Every single staff member was outwardly hostile to us.
Aaron MarksJune 6, 2013
Waited 40 minutes for take out sandwich at lunch, repeatedly ignored by staff when asking status of my order. Do NOT recommend.

It's hard to find decent Mexican food in NYC but Esquina comes really close...
Alexandra HancockJune 18, 2012
Never ever ever EVER come here during lunch or anytime you don't want to wait an extremely long time for a sandwich.
Damon SununtnasukJanuary 23, 2017
Hip but way overpriced
