   I was so impress with this restaurant when my friends took me there a few weeks ago, that I had to share this experience with another friend. Absolutely smashing! She loved it and already knows what she will order on her next visit! We had the sweetest waitress, attentive friendly and witty!! We both left the restaurant feeling like we also had made a new friend.

   Great food and great service. One of our favorite brunch spots. Carne asada Tacos are excellent and you have to get the chips and guacamole.

   I believe our servers name was Claire. She was amazing. Made sure we had everything we needed and made great conversation with us. Definitely requesting her when we come back.

   Great food and service, but there was a birthday party table next to us that sounded like a pack of wolves all night. They screamed, cackled, laughed, hooted, and hollered. 🤣 Good for them, and we were laughing at them for 20-30 minutes but eventually it kind of graded on us.

   We had a reservation and still were told there would be a wait when we arrived even though there were open tables. Our server was very nice and friendly but rushed us the entire meal and seemed like his main focus was turning the table. It was rather noisy for date night conversation and we had a direct view of a bag of store bought tortilla chips in the kitchen window just behind us which seemed odd. The food was quick but nothing super special that we would return for and seemed slightly overpriced for what it was and the portions. We went next door for drinks after since we felt so rushed and honestly looking at the plates being brought out had major food choice regret.

   They gave me the incorrect food and gave me shrimp instead of fish (I’m Jewish so I cannot eat shrimp). They were unapologetic and didn’t seem to care. We also had 2 servers for some reason and they didn’t seem to be communicating with each other. The food itself was alright but combined with the bad service it was not worth it.

    Food (tacos and a chicken bowl) was good and tasty. I don't belive they bring out chips and salsa like other Mexican restaurants. We had chips with our guacamole. Chips were warm and thick. Guacamole was very tasty. 50 cent charge for refill of chips. Looks like they have a good bar area but the waitress didn't have a beer list. She said a new one was being printed and she only quoted a few beers. I belive they probably have more beer selections. Chairs were a bit uncomfortable for this big guy. I had to get up and stretch my legs. We visited on a Saturday evening so finding a parking space in the downtown area is something you need to consider especially if someone has difficulty walking. This was our first visit. We will be back for more good food that is not your normal Mexican restaurant food.

    One of our favorite Huntsville restaurants. Food was excellently prepared and came out fairly quickly. Empanadas we’re fantastic, as were the tacos. Their spicy margarita is superb. Chips with guacamole and queso, delicious.

    The food was good - service was okay.. Leo was our server and he did well; there were bussers that came to our table several times trying to give us someone else's food ;). We ordered both alcoholic (seasonal margarita) and non-alcoholic (both virgin seasonal and regular virgin margaritas) drinks and they were the same price as non-virgin drinks.

    Fantastic food in a modern setting. If you are looking to get away from the kitschy Mexican restaurants that tend to be the norm, this is the place for you. Yummy margaritas, crisp, warm tortillas and queso, fresh tuna tostada, steak quesadillas and the shrimp rice bowl were all ordered and nothing disappointed. A beautiful bar and wide open view of the kitchen were great features. Unfortunately we were just visiting Huntsville or this would have become a regular spot for us! Well done

    They always do an excellent job. Our food was delicious and our server was friendly, efficient and gave wonderful service. I generally get the tacos but this time tried the shrimp bowl and it may be my new favorite. We were going to the Broadway Theater League show at the VBC but service was fast without being rushed so we had plenty of time to visit after we ate. La Esquina Cocina is often our “go to” spot for a delicious dinner.

    Our waiter was Maxwell and he was great. Very familiar with the menu and super helpful. The food was so fresh and delicious and the margaritas were great as well. If you order the Spicy Margarita, be prepared - it’s hot! I also had a Passion Fruit Marg and it was tasty as well. The bar area is beautifully done. It’s loud in the restaurant so it’s not a great place for a quiet meal. But it’s casual and appears to be family friendly as well. Can’t wait to get back!
