" Loved the casual vibe of La Esquina! The service is always friendly. My order of tacos was good enough, but not revolutionary. I think I’d try another dish next time for a better experience. They did have complimentary chips which were very nice! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at La Esquina was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was absolutely buzzing, and the chips and salsa were amazing! However, we found the tacos a bit too salty for our taste. The service was decent but could have been more attentive. If you visit, just be cautious about the salt levels in the dishes. I'd give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Esquina has been my favorite spot since moving to SLO! The service was amazing, the drinks were well made, and the fish tacos were flaky and delish. Even the rice had a wonderful texture! Every visit has been spot-on with delightful flavors. Highly recommend this place for a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Esquina Taqueria is a gem! The atmosphere reminded me of the vibrant streets back in Mexico, truly immersing us in the experience. I had the al pastor tacos and they were impeccable! The pineapple salsa on top was a delightful surprise! Our server brought us complimentary chips and salsa while we waited, which was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Signature margaritas and flavorful dishes make La Esquina a must-visit! I tried the vegetarian enchiladas and they were top-notch, bursting with freshness and flavor. Our server was very friendly and made excellent recommendations. The place was very busy, which made it a little loud, but it added to the fun vibe. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Don’t skip the dessert! " (*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*)
