" A decent joint! While the food is good, it's nothing to write home about. I enjoyed my meal, but I felt like the prices were on the higher side for what we received. Service was not bad, just somewhat average. I’d probably explore more options before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Esquina Taqueria for the first time and I must say, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming! The chicken enchiladas were filled with flavor and were perfectly cooked. Service was quite attentive. However, the wait for our food was a bit longer than expected. Overall, a great dining experience and I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly a delightful dining experience! From the moment we stepped in until we left, the staff made us feel at home. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were cooked to perfection, with a delightful blend of spices. The whole atmosphere was lively and full of energy. It’s a bit of a wait for a seat but absolutely worth it. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit to La Esquina, I was blown away by how fresh the ingredients were! The carne asada was juicy, and the flavors were spot on. Our server was cheerful and attentive. Prices reflect the quality, and the ambiance felt so lively and inviting. Can't wait to eat here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at La Esquina was fabulous! The ambiance captures the essence of Mexico, and the servers were incredibly welcoming. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! Definitely a must-try and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not that impressed with my experience at La Esquina. The food was not as spicy as I expected it to be. The atmosphere was nice, but I feel like I could get better Mexican food elsewhere. The staff was courteous, but I wouldn’t call it great service. Not likely to return unless I have nothing else. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Esquina was good but not great. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was not as flavorful as I would have liked. Friendly service but had to wait a while for our food. It’s an okay option when in town, but I might try somewhere new next time. " (*Curated Review*)
