La Esquina Brasserie

Pork Shank

Slow-braised pork shank with jalapeño and hominy grits, rubbed in adobo, served with tortillas for DIY tacos

Tacos

The taco program is the heart of the menu — well-constructed, with quality proteins and house-made tortillas that hold up better than most upscale Mexican spots in the city

Chile Relleno

Ground beef-stuffed roasted poblano pepper with pears, raisins, almonds, pomegranate seeds, and walnut sauce

Ceviche

Bright, citrus-forward ceviche that showcases fresh fish with clean acidity — one of the more reliable starters on the menu

Guacamole

Table-side or freshly made guacamole that draws consistent praise for its balance of lime, salt, and heat — a reliable opener

Barbacoa Tacos

Slow-cooked barbacoa in handmade corn tortillas with salsa and pickled onions

Queso Fundido

Melted cheese dip with chorizo, served with warm tortillas for dipping

Mole dishes

The kitchen's mole preparations are complex and slow-cooked, offering depth that justifies the upscale positioning — best when the kitchen is firing

Huitlacoche Quesadillas

Corn and huitlacoche (corn truffle) folded into crispy quesadillas

Signature cocktails

The bar program is a genuine strength — margaritas and mezcal-based cocktails are well-balanced and worth the price, easily the most consistent part of the experience

Churros

A crowd-pleasing dessert finish — crispy outside, soft inside, served with dipping chocolate that rounds out the meal without much fuss

Bistec con Queso Tacos

Grilled steak tacos with melted cheese on handmade organic corn tortillas

Fried Plantains

Crispy fried plantains with crema and salsa
