" My family and I adored our visit here! We tried several dishes: the pozole, asada tacos, and carne asada fries. So impressed with the flavors and how fresh everything tasted. Customer service was excellent too; the staff was friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back for more next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t typically write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at La Esquina del Taco. The moment I walked in, the aroma of spices welcomed me. I ordered the birria tacos con consomé, and let me tell you, they were the best tacos I’ve ever had! The meat was juicy and tender, the consomé was rich, and the handmade tortillas just made it better. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. Absolutely phenomenal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little skeptical because I’d heard mixed reviews, but I gave it a try anyway. The birria tacos were absolutely mouthwatering! They had a rich flavor that reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The service was excellent too, attentive but not overbearing. I left a happy customer and will be returning soon. My only complaint was the slow service on a busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants, but this one feels like home! Their mole sauce was phenomenal, perfectly balancing sweet and savory. All spices felt authentic, and the staff was genuine and kind. I loved the open kitchen concept, which added to the experience. This place will definitely be on my list for future cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about La Esquina del Taco, I had to check it out. I must say, the hype was warranted! The food was bursting with flavor; I truly felt transported to Mexico with every bite. The only downside was that the restaurant was quite packed, making the wait a little long. Still, it was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service here was amazing! We were greeted and seated instantly. I had the chance to try their carne asada fries, and they were an explosion of flavor! My only concern was the wait for my main dish was a bit lengthy. But the flavors made it worth the delay! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t expect to love this place as much as I did! The tacos al pastor were so flavorful, and the salsa was perfect! The staff was super friendly, making us feel right at home. They even offered us extra chips when we finished ours. Highly recommend this little gem! " (*Curated Review*)
