Andrew is awesome. The tacos are authentic street style and delicious. Now that there is outdoor seating there’s plenty of space. Servers and service are excellent.
ZenFoodsterMay 6, 2017TODAY's the opening day of La Esquina in the UES! Excited a decent Mexican taqueria came to our hood & can't wait to try the tacos, tortas & Aguas Frescas!
Marc SchneebergerSeptember 30, 2017Great tacos, quesadillas and cheap beers and in summer is very convenient to go to the Jay pool in 78 and york! Quick bite and back to swimming. Their fancy version in Soho is much better!!!
Elba R.M.August 19, 2017Tacos are just ok, they need some homemade salsa and lime. Agua de horchata and jamaica are really good. Definitely Tacomix is better, worth moving those extra blocks up to go there.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍March 19, 2021So good! All the ingredients taste fresh. Their chicken taco is my go-to, the chicken is full of flavor. Would also recommend the elote if you're a street corn person. Margaritas are delicious too- ZenFoodsterDecember 3, 2018GOING GF & ALSO NO MORE TORTAS (Mexican sandwiches..some of BEST SAMMIES ON UES)?! PLS BRING ‘EM BACK & just label “GF” items on new menu! And don’t start making QUESADILLAS SMALLER..like U did tonite
Tal SzSeptember 6, 2017Fish tacos, guac and quesadillas all on point - but the show stealer is the corn on the cob. Definitely going back.
Lisa FJanuary 11, 2018Diner feeling spot close to the Q train serving casual Mexican food. Great for take-out. Solid mezcal margaritas and chicken tacos.- They renovated! One of the best taco spots and casual Mexican in UES. Good margaritas too.
CarolNovember 18, 2022Delicious food and good vibes. The booths make it feel cozier. Try the spicy blood orange margarita.🥵🌶️🍊
Wejdan ✨June 26, 2018Start with elote callejero “ a must tbh” and finish with taco de hongo! yummmmmm 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Kayleigh HarringtonMay 5, 2017The veggie quesadillas are a new favorite - you can't go wrong with any of the tacos either!
Caroline ASeptember 18, 2019They’re so slow that it’s not worth it at all. Nothing special here anyway.
