Service was immediate and super helpful from recommending delicious beers to describing items on the menu that I would not have considered. The full bar is a treat. With a variety of tequilas, mezcal and local craft beers. Such a plus. We had the fish tacos which are made on fresh hand made tortillas. EXCELLENT! Best fish tacos I have ever had. Not heavy on the batter and very tasty and fresh. I also had the cheese chile relleno which is stuffed proportionately correct with rice and cheese; but the sauce is really what made this dish stand out from any other chile relleno I've ever had. It is absolutely outstanding. Finally, we finished up with the house homemade flan which had the perfect texture and flavor. I did not want to leave ! That's how good everything is at La Ezkina. I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend. P.S. Ambiance is laid back; warm and inviting AND they have a parking lot!

Decided to try a new spot for Valentine's Day, and I regret that choice. I usually stick to the…read moresame restaurant in town for molcajetes, but Sofia's popped up on social media and theirs looked great. They were also advertising a free margarita for couples with reservations, which we had but our server never asked about it. We were seated quickly, but that was the only quick part of the night. It took over 35 minutes just to get water, and we weren't allowed to order everything at once. The food order took another 15-20 minutes. My partner's camarones arrived first and were warm and delicious, the shrimp sauce was a 9/10. My molcajete arrived later and looked nothing like the one advertised. It was missing items like cheese and chorizo, and the menu doesn't clarify different versions. The sauce was cold and lacked flavor; only the asada stood out. By the time it arrived, my rice and beans were already cold. Maybe they were overwhelmed by the Valentine's crowd, but the food and service were disappointing. I won't be returning I'll be sticking with La Parilla for molcajetes.

We waited almost 2 hours for food for a party of 10. Totopos and salsa can only do so much for so long. Did margaritas help? Of course, but then I just wanted to keep that going and forego the food . Food was 4/5 stars, price reallly hard to justify what you're receiving. The molcajete is unique and worth trying, the enchiladas were meh, tuna a hit or miss. We will return to give this place one more try.

The Chips are Casera style so very thick and crunchy. They accompany them with a small bowl of beans which is a nice touch. Their table salsa is mild so I can stomach it. I've tried the pollo ala plancha (grilled chicken plate) fajitas, sopes and Camerones al mojo de ajo ( garlic shrimp). The best for me was the asada sope. The rest were on the bland side. Beans and rice are okay. I think they just need to do better when seasoning and flavoring their dishes.
