Legit Mexican fare at a family owned restaurant. My group loved the enchilada, the birria ramen, and the horchata. The lovely lady who runs the place delivered quick and friendly service. Portions are plentiful, ingredients are fresh, and bathrooms are clean. It's a great pit stop between Chicago and Detroit. Plenty of parking in the shared lot. read more

When arriving we were promptly greeted with a friendly welcome and told to seat ourselves anywhere we would like. 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. read more

Best authentic Mexican food in the Jackson area. Nothing else compares. Good service. Friendly staff.

What a surprise! Buried in a random little piece of Jackson you'll find the most authentic and delicious Mexican food. The service was on point and the decor was casual and comfortable (we sat by the window). Our food was so good! Will definitely be coming back or ordering takeout from here again. read more

Ever since I first tried this place, it has been my favorite Mexican Food Fix. I usually get the Taco Dinner with the spicy tomatillo sauce and it's great read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in Jackson and they also serve a delicious Brunch. I'm split on the no alcohol, keeps me out of trouble especially during lunch lol, but I do LOVE a good margarita! The food is excellent and I love the Frida Kahlo inspired decor. My go-to is the Chicken Tacos Doraditos extra salsa verde, right on the plate, no plastico. Try a Jamaica hibiscus water to wash it down. Very friendly family-owned business. Salud! read more

La Esquina Mexican Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

Walked in, greeted, told to sit wherever. There was one server, but she was moving with pace and energy. Very friendly and fast service. We both had a chimichanga and they were very hot when we received them. Flavor was definitely there. They have my favorite beans! So good! read more

What a great restaurant that this area desperately needed. The service is very fast and friendly. The menu has a good variety. The chips and salsa are brought out to the table pretty quickly but i felt that the salsa wasnt very flavorful and had no heat at all. There is cholulua hot sauce on the table though which helps. We ordered guacamole and i also felt that was lacking salt and/or lemon/lime. Our entrees were fantastic though. My husband had the quesobirria tacos. Very delicious and tender meat. I had the torta campanchana and it had a good amount of meat and toppings. The spicy tomatillo salsa they serve with the torta was delicious. Lastly we shared a strawberry cheesecake chimichanga and flan for dessert. Both very good. Really great place, definitely worth checking out! read more

We stopped in for breakfast. The first table on a Friday morning. The service was slow and my food came out 10 minutes before the other meal. Awkward. I got the bfast burrito which was good, but lacking in filling in the burrito. Egg was chopped up very small and barely any potatoes. ‍I'll give them another chance. read more

Good Mexican food Good service & Ambulance! I like the Taco meal with Rice and Beans Give this place five stars read more

The wet burrito was amazing and I will come back. The waitress was really nice. My boyfriend said the tacos were good

Very clean! Quick service and most importantly really good food! The refried beans are different and have a mild red sauce in them which added to the flavor. The rice was a little overcooked but flavorful. I had the fajita taco salad with steak. Nice amount of meat. Really good all around. My husband had the chipotle chimichangas with ground beef and thoroughly enjoyed them! We will be back for sure read more

La Esquina Mexican Cafe - Chipotle Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

Finally good authentic Mexican food in Jackson. Service is great, friendly, I would definitely recommend. If you don't live in the area it definitely would be worth the drive. I like to try a different dish every time I go and have not been disappointed. read more

Clean, cute, good size menu. I would say if you like your food spicy then this is the place for you. It was too spicy for me. Even the guacamole was super spicy. I love some good Mexican food but it was just way too spicy for me. But the service was great and the place was clean. read more

This place is a hidden gem. From the breakfast all day to their birria and homemade horchata, they are a very unique cafe. The waitresses are always attentive and kind and I always receive my food quick. The walls are covered in a beautiful painting of Frida and an inspiring quote on the wall, and it just really makes you feel welcomed and good. I can't recommend this place to enough people. read more

Today was my first time visiting this restaurant. It was also my last. I arrived shortly after the noon rush, and sat down. I received a warm greeting from the waitress. She was prompt to bring me chips/salsa and a soda. That is the only positive thing I can cite. After a length of time she eventually took my order - 3 cheese enchiladas, beans, rice. After about 30 /35 minutes it was served. The enchilada cheese was warm but uncooked/unmelted. The refried beans seemed more like refried bean soup. The rice seemed bitter. After tasting it I asked for my check. I showed her the uncooked enchiladas and explained that I was out of time. She promptly brought the check and offered a to go box. I paid, including a tip, and left. With no plans to return or recommend this restaurant to anyone else. Sincerely, Pastor Mike read more

First time here and we went for breakfast. Bright and clean inside. Prompt and friendly service. Food was very good and authentic. Omelette full of veggies and the beans were very tasty! Will definitely return. read more

The Quesobirria Tacos and Esquites were both executed well, but I could have used a little more flavor punch. The service was excellent, and the restaurant is beautiful with a Frida Kahlo inspired ambiance. read more

I love the food here it's so amazing!! Would come back any day for the loaded asada fries. Service is amazing. And the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. read more

They are polite & make food fast, but my breakfast burrito had 0 flavor & mostly every single piece of bacon in it was fatty & chewy. The "salsa" they gave me was horrible, it tasted like it was cheap hot sauce. I'm sure they have other good food, but this is the second time I got the burrito & both times, especially this one, we're disappointing. read more

This was the best Wet Burrito I've ever had. Veggies were fresh. Service was fast, and the Green Sauce delicious.

This was the worst sinner I have had in any Mexican restaurant. I had the steak fajita with chips. NEVER AGAIN

I've been excited for La Esquina to open for quite some time now - I love Mexican food and it's close to my home. Easy to say this is definitely the best Mexican food in town and I'll be a frequent customer/supporter. The service was exceptional, everyone was very kind and the food is great. A++. read more

Very good food, service and prices. A great addition to Jackson!!! We will be back and want to try more dishes.

Excellent food, very good variety, very good price and excellent service. We would highly recommend!

Good food and friendly staff! Wish we lived closer, we'd make it a regular stop! Smaller than expected in the inside, but that means you get served faster. read more
