What a hidden gem! My husband and I were planning on going to Davie Taco which is next door, but the line was huge. He noticed La Esquina next door and they had their lunch menu outside. I saw tacos so we said let's try it! This place is large and has a big bar as well. Lots of seating and a really cool vibe. We were greeted immediately and told we could sit wherever we liked. We picked a corner booth. Shortly after we were brought hot tortilla chips with salsa and beans. Very tasty. Our server was nice and helped us with recommendations. We went with the lunch tacos which she said are a bigger portion than the other specials, so we got those. You can mix and match chicken, steak, ground beef etc. I got all chicken and my husband got two chicken and two steak. Very flavorful tacos, they were delicious! A little greasy but I think that was just the sauce from the meat coming out. The tacos were super fresh, topped with fresh cilantro and onions. They brought us multiple salsas and avocado crema. This place really filled up as we were eating - clearly people know about it! Will definitely be back, thanks for the awesome experience!
I walked into La Esquina feeling nostalgic. Over a period of 22 years, I walked through those doors hundreds of times, from when it was CM Boomers, then Texas Rose, and then Big Dawgs. And now, everything was different, the crowd, the setup, the music, but the bar was still there. Yes, much has changed since those days, but the second I walked in there, I didn't mind the change one bit. It was Friday night, a DJ was playing popular spanish songs that even I recognized. Not just Mexican, but Argentinian, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Cuban, etc. You name it. He even played Lambada not to leave Brazil behind, and also YMCA, which was very surprising to hear. The best part was that the crowd was loving it. Some were eating, some were dancing between the tables, some were singing along or simply nodding their head. If you were not in a happy and partying mood when you walked in, within minutes that would change. Such festive and happy ambiance is simply contagious. The bartender was attentive even though I think she would have preferred to be dancing on the floor. I was probably one of the handful of non-hispanic people in there, and I simply had a blast. I didn't try the food but I have heard enough positive remarks from others to know that it is good, but at that time, that festive atmosphere was exactly what I needed, and it changed my Friday night from lousy to amazing. I will definitely go back again
I have to say, we popped up in here because it was the closest to off the wall. Our waitress was fast and constantly checking up on us. We got an appetizer of elote which was a little too sour for my liking but edible. I ordered the fajitas and they were sooo good! The tortillas were fresh! They had music going and after a while started calling people up to do karaoke. It was very fun and a good laugh. Nice environment.
Cane here on a Saturday night after a concert! One of my friends suggested this spot since it's her go-to hangout with her colleagues, and La Esquina did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was amazing! People singing karaoke, dancing, and everyone just having a great time. The drinks were solid and fairly priced, and the food definitely hit the spot.My friend and I shared a Mexican pizza and omg... it was so delicious! I also ordered a mango margarita (huge, definitely sharable with 2) and it was made to perfection. Drinks were strong, food was tasty! My other friends loved their drinks and what they ordered to eat. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which only added to the fun atmosphere. If you're looking for a lively place to grab drinks, sing your heart out, or just enjoy a night out with friends, this is the spot. I cannot wait to come back and try different items on the menu and have the guts to do karaoke.
Decided to give this place a whirl after finding it on Yelp! It did not disappoint! The decor is awesome which feels really inviting the moment you step inside! We got exactly what we wanted and needed - fast fresh food & cold beer that hit the Mexican craving right on the money! We will definitely be back! My tacos might look a bit "plain" but she did ask me if I wanted them American style or Mexican style so I assume Mexican style doesn't come with all the stuff we are used to seeing but I stole some topping off my husband's burrito and it worked out just perfectly!
Amazing place to meet up with friends! Excellent food options. The staff is fabulous. Karaoke nights and live music (check their schedule). We ordered the sampler appetizer platter and it was perfect for our party of ten.
Such a cute small restaurant. I love to find locations that are not commercialized Mexican and you can tell how authentic they are right when you walk in. The star of the show is their refried beans and the best part of they are given with chips and salsa when you sit down. It was Thursday ladies night so you know I didn't miss out on the margarita specials. So delicious! The employees were all very helpful, welcoming, and extremely nice!
Came here to try it out because I wanted to go to a new Mexican place and it did not disappoint! Parking was ample and very easy to find the location from the road and parking lot. The windows and walls are decorated very nicely with sugar skull and other Mexican items. Walking in, the hostess took us to our table very quickly and gave us our menus to look at. We did sit for a bit before anyone even came over to give us water and take our drink order so it was a little bit of a wait that annoyed me, especially because the place only had a handful of other tables filled at the time we were there. The chips and beans they brought over to the table were amazing. The chips had a nice crunch to it and salted perfectly. The beans had a nice consistency and were also seasoned well! I did the create your own combo and got the taco and enchilada. The taco shell was perfect and the ground beef I had inside of it was juicy! The meat was very well cooked and the cheese and lettuce on top were very fresh. The ground beef enchilada I also got was great. The tortilla was the right size and a hefty portion of meet on the inside of it as well, also cooked perfectly! The rice was okay, a little undercooked for me so I didn't really eat much of it but the refried beans were great! Decent prices, my dish was about $15 after taxes and everything and I had a little bit of leftovers to take home. Overall pretty nice place and I loved that they had a mariachi band taking songs requests and going out to the tables while we were there as well!
Ordered queso dip, steak quesadillas, and a super macho American burrito. Food came out quickly. Cheese dip was ok, kind of too thick. Salsa was very spicy if you like that. Chips were good. My burrito was good but they put rice in it. It does not say rice on the menu. The waitress argued with me and said it comes with rice. I showed her the menu and was not offered for it to be remade or a discount. I got less chicken because rice took up half the burrito. The steak quesadillas was shredded beef not steak. Overall ok, not great. I won't be back.
I came here on a lunch break with some friends from work and tried their birria tacos. They were great, very cheesy and full of flavor as they should be. The consume they give you was a bit small but other than that, it was a good meal. The service was good, they were attentive and very kind. It's a nice little spot that can be great to have food with coworkers. I would recommend and will be coming back.
Super fun vibe and dj was great food was ok but we need to make more of a dance floor but overall very fun spot to enjoy a night out. The service was ok. The best part is having an open mic to sing your life away. Great spot for karaoke.
First time eating at la Esquina Restaurant. My twin sister told me about this spot and this place is a great place to eat and dance away the calories. They have live music with a DJ and Karaoke. The price of the food is reasonable and the sangria was delicious. Overall a good spot especially in the weekends.
Fast service, food was tasty and the overall them amount of food was plenty and well priced. The inside is well themed and gives that Latin experience which is nice! Only bad thing was the server kept checking on us and trying to take another plate of any thing that was done. Other than having to say no all good, great meal. But a server checking on you is it really that bad.

I've got to say, I am so happy my sis in law introduced me to this hidden gem. It's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around the area! Their service is so friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, the decor/ambience is fun, and they have everything decorated for Halloween now. OH! & they have fantastic daily promotions. Definitely a place to visit regularly :) read more
We had great service and food on the Saturday night we visited. They have karaoke 4-9pm on Saturday's. It is a lively atmosphere. They bring you complimentary chips, salsa and refried beans. We had the carne asada with an enchilada. The enchilada needed more sauce because it was dry. The steak had great flavor. They served it with rice and beans and corn tortillas. There is a large bar. There is outdoor dining on the sidewalk overlooking the parking lot. read more

This review reflects only my personal experience, as the rest of my group had no issues with their orders. There were seven of us for Taco Tuesday, and from the moment we sat down, our waitress seemed irritated that she had to serve our table. We ordered quickly because we already knew what we wanted. I ordered four Birria tacos on corn tortillas ($19.00) and a michelada ($9.90). Everyone else's food came out correctly, but mine did not. The tacos were clearly served on flour tortillas instead of corn. I politely pointed out the mistake and asked for them to be replaced. Instead of correcting the order, the waitress brought back the exact same plate and looked me in the eye while insisting they were corn tortillas. They absolutely were not, and my friends confirmed the same. I refused to eat them and ended up taking them home for my daughter. What makes this especially upsetting is that this isn't just about getting an order wrong--mistakes happen. The problem is that the restaurant chose to lie rather than fix it. If this had been a customer with a gluten allergy or celiac disease, the consequences could have been serious. Serving the wrong food is one thing; knowingly trying to pass it off as something it isn't is completely unacceptable and incredibly irresponsible. read more

My friend recommended this restaurant so we went. Grace and Angie were both the servers that took care of me. Both of them were attentive and sweet. This restaurant was such a party place. They had a DJ and karaoke on Saturday nights. For food I had the shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were one for $5 or 4 for $16. I got the 4 for $16. If came with a green sauce and it was soo yummy. For the drink I got a sangria and it was delicious. I loved the ambiance, the food and my drink. The parking is free and is in front of the restaurant. read more

A fun and very lively restaurant! The perfect little place for great Mexican dishes and specialty drinks. Some coworkers and I stopped in after work to grab some drinks and food while celebrating a birthday. We arrived around 5:15, and the restaurant was fairly empty, whiten 40 min the place was packed! We were seated right away, and our server was amazing! She took our orders for drinks and food and explained a couple things to us that we were unsure about. She brought our table fresh tortillas chips with a refried bean dip, which were complimentary, a nice little touch instead of the typical chips and salsa. Everything came out rather quickly, there was a couple little hiccups with some items. Drinks were great, the margaritas definitely pack a punch! Food was delicious, I tried a chorizo, and birria taco and both were very flavorful. I also had the burrito al carbon meal, which I ended up bringing home, but did sample a bit of it at the restaurant and it was great. The restaurant inside is super artsy and colorful with a rich Mexican inspired atmosphere. During dinner there was a DJ setting up his equipment and palying some traditional beats. It's a place I would definitely return too, it's a great place to let off some steam and unwind after a long work week. read more
I wanted to like this place more, but I can't. The service was great! But the reason for the 3 stars is because the food overall was not authentic. It was very Americanized. The margarita tasted like it was store bought. Just overall the flavors were not what I was expecting. read more

Very colorful and vibrant restaurant with polite and friendly staff to greet you at the front. Most all of the staff seemed to be bilingual which is great for bilingual couples/families! We arrived early and caught the happy hour (4-7pm) which includes house margaritas for $6.99 and $1 off beers. Margaritas are smaller than their usual size but are still so good and worth it!! We received complimentary chips with a spicy salsa and refried beans. We ordered birria tacos and shrimp tacos with rice and beans. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be coming here again! read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** This place was filled with locals. Everyone knew each other. There is a dedicated Vegetarian Menu section. The refried and black beans are meat free, but the yellow rice is made with chicken stock. We LOVED the complimentary chips, salsa, and refried beans! The salsa was sweet yet spicy, and they had spicier options in the back. We stopped in for a small bite, so ordered for Nachos and they were much heavier than expected! They were your run of the mill nachos, but loaded with toppings! They have many specials each night of the week. read more

Stopped in around 330 on a Sunday and the place was packed! Our server came over and took our drink order and dropped off some warm chips and salsa and some bean dip. The dip was delicious, the salsa had a nice kick to it and the chips were probably some of the best I've had. I ordered the two combination plate with a tamale, a steak taco and rice and beans and my husband got the platter with a steak chimichanga and a chicken burrito. I really enjoyed my tamale, it was sob stuffed with chicken that I couldn't finish it. I didn't really like the steak taco because the meat was very dry. The rice and beans were both excellent with great flavor. My husband really enjoyed his food as well. The service was excellent, everyone there was super friendly. Added bonus was the mariachi band that was playing! read more
I've had this place a few times and really wanted to give it a chance. Today was the definitive moment. The ambiance is really nicely decorated and lively, the service was good as well, but the most important part - the food- wasn't great. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered an Azteca Soup, which is tomato based with chicken, avocado, and cheese. And my husband ordered 4 tacos, 2 al pastor and 2 barbacoa. I planned on eating 1 of the barbacoa tacos. The soup smelled like clamato, and honestly the only good thing was the avocado pieces. The tacos were super salty, the barbacoa was okay in flavor, but very salty as well. I think we mostly enjoyed the chips and salsa and refried beans dip. I expressed to my server that I didn't like the soup at all and he quickly mentioned he could swap it for something else, which is very much appreciated. But at that point we were ready to go. We're just really disappointed that for authentic Mexican food, we have to drive to Oakland park. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It is super close to me and looks like they have a great happy hour. My friend kept raving about this place and I love trying new places. They also do live music and karaoke. The ambiance is great I loved the look of the place and the waitress was so sweet and kind really gave me the family vibe but unfortunately I won't be going back. We ordered the queso although it was very creamy it had too much of a milk flavor (not my preference but my party liked it). Then I ordered the 4 tacos. One of my tacos was not the right one (ordered shrimp, steak, birria, and Barbacoa). I told the waitress it's not the right one that it looks like the chicharron and she acknowledged it but then never brought the correct one out and didn't remove it off the check. The shrimp taco unfortunately was under cooked and I only noticed the translucent color on my last bite. I showed it to the my party and they all agreed it was under cooked. The drink was pretty good and the place got packed so maybe it was just not my night because it does seem to be a fan favorite. read more

Is this place kid and dog friendly?
Yes kid friendly. It does have a bar but they also tables which I've seen many families seated. They have 2 tables outside which I think should be ok for anyone with a dog. May want to reach out to the establishment to confirm.
