We were given chips and salsa and asked for our drink order (they serve Coke products and other bottled drinks) and given the menu. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ordered dinner. New menu items were listed on a laminated card on the table. We ordered from that- La Esquina Special and the Jalisco special. Our food was delivered quickly and piping hot. It was delicious!! The cheese sauce is fantastic! The portions are fair for the price. The restaurant was clean and Latin pop music played over the house system. A really bright and colorful mural is along one wall, a Frida Kahlo quote on another and the restaurant name on the other. We plan to return and hope to try breakfast another time.

5/5/26 I meet my husband and his friend for lunch here…read more The restaurant was basically empty with only a few patrons, which was good because I only have a hour for lunch. I ordered a wet burrito, my husband two tacos and our friend also ordered a burrito. Our server was nice enough but my issue comes from the fact that we arrived at approximated 1:10 and our good still wasn't served when I told our server that my lunch would need to be put in a bag to go because it's at that point 1:50 and I had to return to work. He told us "it's coming right now" which it really wasn't. I had to take my lunch as soon as he came out of the kitchen with it. My husband told me they still didn't get their food for at least 15 more minutes AFTER I left. He said the only thing the server said was that our friends burrito was 'very difficult to make'... My husbands TWO TACOS were cold, my burrito had barely any chicken in it, the burrito was tiny! We definitely will not be returning. It's as though the customers are a second thought, behind making sure a table was cleaned over keeping tabs on our lunch order.

They over several various kinds of meats such as chicken, steak, ground beef, pork, chorizo sausage, beef tongue, shredded beef, beef cheek, and tripe. Nothing on the menu cost over $6. It is all homemade and delicious. You might get a bigger portion at Taco Bell or other so called Mexican places but you won't get the great taste. I had a 3 chicken taco dinner, it came with homemade refried beans and rice and it was only $5. The wait was minimal & it was nice and piping hot. The homemade mild sauce was exquisite! I also ordered 3 beef tacos & a tamale. This is the real deal people! It took my back to my days living in California.

When I finally got the order, I told him and another waiter who walked up that this was unacceptable and I wouldn't be back to this location. The 2nd waiter just laughed and said "see you tomorrow"!
