"La Esquina (the corner in Spanish) is a three-headed experience: a Formica-countered taqueria at the junction of Lafayette and Cleveland, the more upscale café around the corner on Kenmore and---most especially---the secretive subterranean restaurant, wh..."

"A dumpy old corner deli transformed into what looks like a roadside tacqueria, La Esquina ("The Corner") features perhaps New York's most secretive restaurant (with a semi-unlisted phone number), hidden downstairs behind a door marked "employees only". Wh..."

"Last year, I celebrated my birthday at the downstairs La Esquina. My guests and I had to walk through the door marked with an Employees Only sticker, down the stairs and past the kitchen to get to the dungeon-like setting of the restaurant...."

"Check in to the strong buzz and you'll find out where to eat (and what to eat), learn about chefs on the move, restaurant openings and closings, the hottest cocktails (and bar chefs), and lots of other random but useful information about the ins and outs..."

"Corner Deli is a kitschy old-school taco stand open 24-7, complete with neon signage and formica counters; La Esquina is a chill art-filled café...."

"We had to have them make our resie since Esquina doesn't even have a listed number*. The whole hook is that Esquina is cleverly hidden beneath a small, somewhat shabby taqueria called 'The Corner Deli'...."

"La Esquina with its wrought iron gates and candelabras has an ultra glamorous look, and could easily pass off as one of the hippest joint in the city. Try the tacos, avocado soups, tortillas, and many more to engage your taste buds...."
