Don't waste your time
By sllnyc who lives in Upper West Side

Food has always been decent but the attitude and denial of use of the toilet ruined the experience. We had to go to a neighboring establishment in order to use the facilities after having paid for food and drink. The gatekeepers (in trying to keep the downstairs "exclusive") deny repeat customers access to the facilities. Pretty bassakwards considering that the taqueria is really what it's all about.... the downstairs restaurant/lounge is bust. Don't waste your time.

Excellent as an experience
By briant who lives in Boston

The restaurants in Boston are awful, so we head to NY for a decent meal on weekends. La Esquina is a must. Everything is well thought out; the facade, the entrance through the kitchen in the cellar, and the spectacular dining room and lounge. Interesting people abound, and the food is great.

speakeasy tequila and tapas
By dangerboy who lives in East Village

it was never that terribly exclusive, all you had to do was go ask the waitress for the number. but i don't know what the wait is like ever since its phone number has been published.

as for the restaurant itself, the arched brick ceilings, metal gates, and clandle light set a nice mood. the bar is impressive with its extensive list of fine tequilas, which come server on wooden planks. i was more than satisfied with everything that i've ordered and would trust the specials. service was good without being obtrusive.

i would definitely recommend it as a good place for a date.
