Impress your friends with this great Mexican secret hotspot: La Esquina!


Would you like hearing about a good restaurant that also has a secret vibe to it? La Esquina is a pretty cool restaurant and perfect for eating great Mexican food with friends. The Ceviche is really “La Bomba”! Just like the Queso Fundido, a perfect combo of savoury and sweet.
The bar is great for having a few Margaritaโ€™s before dinner. Or after. Itโ€™s kind of a dark place, but that makes it very cozy. Obviously youโ€™ll feel very cool at this secret hotspot. Well secret, secretโ€ฆ It feels like that anyway. From the outside it looks like a normal deli where people order their food, mostly for take away. But donโ€™t let that fool ya! Thereโ€™s a whole lot more going on in that hot steaming Mexican food corner. So make sure you reserve a table (really difficult to get one at a reasonable time) so youโ€™ll be taken downstairs, down the steep staircase, feeling more and more excited, through the kitchen, to the place where all the action happens.
Awesome memorable experience!
