" What a night! La Esquina exceeded our expectations with its lively atmosphere and fantastic food. We sampled a variety of tacos and everything was wonderfully spiced and fresh. The drinks were equally delightful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very attentive. The only downside was the noise level; it's definitely not the place for an intimate dinner date! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an experience that was a bit mixed. The underground ambiance of La Esquina is attractive, and the food was quite tasty and lived up to its authentic reputation. My only complaint revolves around the staff; they seemed overworked during our visit. Nevertheless, the tacos were fresh and had an inviting balance of flavors. I would suggest it for the food but come prepared for a potentially long wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Esquina definitely has its charm. The hidden entrance adds a unique touch, but I found the wait for our food to be on the longer side, which was a bit disappointing. However, the tacos I ordered were delicious, and I could tell they were made with fresh ingredients. Service was okay, just a little slow at times. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but some improvements in the service would enhance the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Esquina has an incredible atmosphere, and the food is mostly delicious, especially the tacos. But I must note that the service can get really chaotic during peak hours. Our server had an attitude that didn't mesh well with our group. After a long wait, our meal was served, but the experience felt rushed due to the crowd. Just be prepared for a lively, loud evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into La Esquina feels like a little adventure. The narrow entrance leads to a beautiful underground setting. The food was what I consider genuine Mexican cuisine—flavorful and beautifully presented. However, I was disappointed with the slow service, which took away from what could've been a perfect night. Nevertheless, I'd still recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful evening at La Esquina! The energy of the place was contagious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The tacos were excellent, often ranked among the best I’ve had. The drinks were creative and complemented our food beautifully. The service could have been a little sharper, but overall, it was a great place for a fun night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Entering La Esquina felt like stepping into another world. The underground setting is cozy and trendy; it's a perfect backdrop for a date or special evening. The staff was incredible; they really made us feel welcome. The flavors in the tacos were vibrant and true to what you'd find in Mexico. I especially loved the guacamole! Can't recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)
