" What a lovely spot! I came here for a relaxed evening with friends, and it was everything we hoped for. The view of the lake was beautiful as the sun set. We ordered a variety of tacos to share, and they were fantastic! Each taco had distinct flavors that complemented each other beautifully. Our server was very accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. It was a bit pricier than other places, but the quality of food and service made it worthwhile. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here last week and loved every minute! Had the pollo bowl which was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender, complemented by flavorful salsas. The staff was helpful and made sure we had no waits during our meal. I also tried their signature margarita–definitely worth the hype! Would suggest la Esquina Cocina for a fantastic meal experience. We will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become my go-to for casual dining! I love the blend of traditional and modern Mexican dishes they offer. My favorite has to be the chorizo tacos, which are bursting with flavor. I also appreciate how they focus on presenting their meals beautifully. The margaritas are handcrafted and so refreshing! I always feel welcomed and well taken care of by the staff, making each visit enjoyable. Just wish they had more seating for busy nights, as we sometimes have waited a while for a table. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews from friends, I decided to try La Esquina Cocina, but my experience was hit or miss. The atmosphere is chic, and the outdoor seating has a lovely view of the harbor, but the food somewhat fell flat. My tacos lacked seasoning, and while the ingredients seemed fresh, they didn’t shine like I hoped. The service was decent, but I expected a bit more warmth from the staff given how highly it was recommended. Overall, I might try again but maybe stick to something safer on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place looks amazing from the outside, and the decor is perfect for a night out. I had their carne asada tacos, and I cannot say enough what a letdown they were. The meat was dry, the flavors were diluted, and I really expected more from the price we paid. The drink options were great, and the service was friendly, but the tacos just didn’t hold up to the hype. So disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for La Esquina Cocina after seeing glowing reviews, but our experience was a mix of highs and lows. The tacos were pretty decent, but they lacked the bold flavors I associate with authentic Mexican food. The cilantro and onions were overpowering, which made my meal just okay. On the bright side, the view from our table was stunning and the service staff was friendly, but given the price point, I expected more flavor and variety. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were excited to try La Esquina Cocina after hearing it was an upscale Mexican restaurant. While the atmosphere had a nice vibe, the food felt lacking. My enchiladas were plain and the salsa didn’t add much flavor. The chips weren't complimentary like expected, which was surprising. Service was prompt, but the lack of flavor will make it hard for me to recommend. Overall, a stylish restaurant, but I’d order differently next time. " (*Curated Review*)
