" I visited La Esquina Caribena during my business trip and wow, what a find! The oxtail I had was rich in flavor, perfectly tender, and the servings were generous. It reminded me of home-cooked meals. Service was prompt and attentive. This is definitely on my list for a revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. While the food had potential, the service was slow and lacked attention. I waited over 30 minutes for a simple dish. The flavors were there, but the execution fell short. I might give it another chance but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
