Food was excellent. Ceviche was excellent. A meal in itself. The birria tacos were delicious. Margaritas were good. Service started out good. After the food came, the service was non existent. We did eventually order a second margarita but had to go inside to pay because they never came out again. This place could be a five star with some improved service. read more

I've been here a few times and it's good for a quick bite. It's always packed but closes early. Service is a little slow, I've had to wait even when calling the order in. It's average Mexican food that gets the job done. read more

At La Esquina you will find a good meal for an exceptionally pleasing price. If you have traveled in Mexico and eaten at street cafés you will see that the food is very authentic. The fried tacos are served in double corn tortilla and are large and amply filled with your choice of meat. They only cost $4.50. The enchiladas a similar. The sauce is delicious, but mild so you might want to request more spice. ... The location is directly across from the DMV in Los Gatos. Parking is on the street or in the DMV lot.. a nice treat after a stressful visit. La Esquina is very clean and has patio dining. read more

I've been here before and had a great experience, however my most recent time was not as great. The prices seem to have gone up and I was served the wrong drink. However, it is still a good restaurant that I would recommend trying. Food: I love their tacos especially the Al Pastor and lengua tacos. I've also had their quesadilla before too which was delicious! I most recently tried their birria tacos with the consome, which was good, but it did fall apart pretty easily and was a bit messier than I would've liked. However, the flavor was still amazing. Service: The service here could use some work. I ordered a horchata and got a cucumber lime drink instead, which was still pretty good, but was t what I asked for. However, I do like that they give complimentary chips and salsa if you eat in the restaurant. Ambiance: the inside is pretty basic with not too much to say about it. Overall, I recommend trying this place. From what I've eaten, they've got very good food with a variety of Mexican dishes. Maybe not the best Mexican food in Los Gatos but definitely worth the visit if you're in the mood for some Mexican food. read more

Arrived late for lunch on a lazy Friday afternoon. Got two shrimp tacos (a la carte). I think these were the BEST shrimp tacos I've EVER had! Wife got the taco salad with chicken and was happy with her choice. Mine was waaaaaay better Server was polite and food arrived quickly. Happy to return maybe tomorrow. read more

Very small, casual restaurant with Casual Authentic Mexican Food. Take Out or walk from your neighborhood and eat in.

Overhyped tacos Everyone raves about this place but I was not impressed. The flavors were decent but nothing outstanding. The service was also a bit rude. Probably wont return read more

Great little neighborhood spot. Finally went for lunch after years of talking about it. Small, unpretentious place, but good tacos. Everyone in my family enjoyed their meal. read more

This place is conveniently across from the DMV, but is not that memorable. FOOD: Food is mediocre. My husband and I both got vegetarian burritos in spinach tortillas with guacamole and sour cream. The sour cream and guacamole were hard to detect, though. SUGGESTIONS: -more veggies in the burrito (there were pretty much none) -more salsa options (while the green salsa was good, the red one was a bit too sweet) SERVICE: service is prompt and friendly! read more

I was so disgusted when I discovered a sponge cleaning particle in my margarita. The waitress apologized but that was enough to keep me away from this place. How can any restaurant let this happen. Come on, do better. read more

Best burrito in South Bay - no one comes close. This will become a monthly spot to hit when I travel to the Bay.

I haven't been here since the change in ownership. I stopped by for a takeout steak burrito. Very flavorful meat in a soft tortilla. The side salsas really make it tasty. Delicious. They are socially distancing with masks, gloves and are extra clean. Good place for takeout. Friendly staff doing a good job. read more

This small taqueria has some inside and outside dining. It was a nice surprise that they offered table service vs ordering at the counter. Our waitress was so helpful, as she offered menu suggestions, told me which meals were too spicy for me and then offered a dish created just for me ! Wow, gotta love that. The meal was tasty and nicely presented. My Chicken Ranchera was delicious and I had to stop myself from eating all of it, as it was a large portion. Once again I was surprised by the servers as they came to check on us and ask if we needed anything. This little place offered more service than some of the nicer restaurants in the area. For a taqueria, this place certainly exceeds expectations. read more

Awesome and friendly staff and variety in the menu. We tried the birria tacos which were so well marinated and tender - just wish it came with the yummy sauce to dip but I guess our cholesterol appreciated the cleaner version. Cheese enchilada was surprisingly and delightfully garlicky. The carne asada burrito had a great toasted tortilla. read more

Good food! And conveniently located across from the DMV so if you have to wait for your number you can walk across the street here and order some food. Nice presentation of the food when eating in. Soda comes in fancy vintage glass bottles. Pay at the counter is ok before you head out after dining in. No complaints about the service. Street parking otherwise unless you already parked at the DMV. read more

We thought we'd try again and grab a quick burrito and tacos on our walk home. The grilled chicken in then was fairly gray and tasteless. Even the shredded chicken wasn't tasty. All of the ingredients just seem like the bare minimum of what it takes to make these staple dishes. And the chips are dry and taste burned. We still wish this was a go to we could frequent, now we're feeling like it's just not worth another try. The last few times our orders were wrong and no one has ever tried to correct anything. read more

Great small spot for delicious Mexican food. We came across this place while walking and were very pleased to have dinner here. Dulse, our waitress was a very polite lady and help us a lot choosing what to eat. We had beef burritos with sour cream and guacamole and it can say that I can put their burrito to my top three list. They have a beautiful outside sitting area next to street. Joyful Mexican music accompanies your food. Overall, we enjoyed this place very much, will return as soon as possible but this time with the kids! Highly recommend this spot especially those who likes local Mexican food. read more

Yum! Popped in here today to grab lunch for myself and one of my bosses. Located right across the street from the LG DMV which is "normal" times would be an excellent location. Thankfully for me, it's also just a short walk from my office. I called in my order and by the time I walked over, it was being bagged up and ready for me to take back to work. Love that they have patio seating always, even in bad weather because it's got a great overhang to keep you warm and dry but they also have limited indoor seating if you so choose. Love the festive colorful décor and friendly staff who greeted me with smiling eyes as I entered. I ordered the fish Taco's al carte and I wasn't disappointed one bit. Super fresh and moist with a mango salsa and I squeezed some fresh lime over top. Delicious! My boss had the shrimp burrito and I haven't heard any complaints yet. No complaints means we'll certainly be back. read more

First try but definitely not last of this delightful and delicious Mexican food restaurant! Food came hot, fresh and a huge cut above all other Mexican Restaurants in the Bay Area!

Why are the beef and tortilla so dry, chewy, and tasteless like cardboard? We asked to pack taco and condiments separately, but all we got are the dry meat, tough tortilla and spicy sauces, which my kid can't even eat. Sorry, not coming back. read more

I've been here with the prior owners and enjoyed it. I enjoy it even more now. The new owners have settled into their stride, and the food is delicious. I love how the refried beans are served in a small jar. Portions are perfect...you don't walk out feeling like you've eaten too much. The chevalas were delicious and well balanced. I'm assuming the menu changes based on what they can get because one time, we had tacos al pastor, and the next time they weren't there. Chairs were comfortable. If you have a large group, let them know so they can put tables together. There's a bar seating type area as well. Parking is on the street for the most part. They're across the street from the DMV so if you need fortification after dealing with bureaucracy, go here.you wont' regret it. read more

I arrived just as this little corner taqueria was closing. They were kind enough to let us order a couple of items. Best quesadilla and taco! I will try this place again when they're not closing. The food was very good and the service was great. read more

My #1 Mexican restaurant in town! All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming! They always give me great portions and great prices! My fav items are the carne asada street tacos and a fresh margarita. I love eating here and look forward to my next visit read more

Friendly service and they still allow our dog with outside seating. Under new management leaves the following: 1 - Warm Corona, we had to ask for ice to chill the drink. One beer will set you back $5. 2 - the $9 chicken taco platter, grisly chicken, less than 2 finger size portion of minced dry chicken; a small portion. It would be the equivalent of ordering a $2 street taco off a food truck. We ended up giving it to our dog. We will find a food truck next time we crave a good taco. Guac and other condiments are extra. 3 - 2 chicken enchiladas (suizas) with basic rice and beans in a cup setting you back at $15. At least the chips and salsa are still free. The old management had the prices down and the portions up. If you want bang for your buck, this isn't the place any longer. We've been loyal patrons to this establishment for over a year and I hate giving a poor review but this last experience has us exploring other options towards the San Jose area. read more

Way better tasting food compared to the previous owner. Draft Mexican beer $5 who can beat that plus their free chips and salsa are delicious and the salsa taste much better, with more spice then the previous owner. A great place to grab good Mexican food and great service read more

I went there several times after I wrote my first review and I think it's about time for me to write an update ;) Many things improved since my first visit: More cocktails, draft beers, new dishes...etc The pozole is still as amazing as before but make sure you try the new items on the menu: - The "cheese dip" which is very different from the traditional dip you are used to (beans, meat, cheese, tomatoes...) served on a sizzling plate...give that slight delicate burn taste to this amazing mix! - Salsa fries: a must try. goes perfectly with a beer! you'll fine salsa, guacamole, meat and cheese on the top of warm thick fries. - Milanese chicken. OK that's supposed to be Italian but its prepared with a Mexican twist in that case. Check my photos and you'll get it ;) Rose the owner is always smiley, helpful and super friendly. Make sure you try their daily specials! read more
