La Esquina

Editorial Review

Bar scene with authentic Mexican food from über-scenesters Serge and Cordell. Take a tequila flight—blanco, reposados, or anejos. Upstairs low-key takeout, cozy dining on the side, but it's through the kitchen and down the stairs for the real action in one of the city's best hideaways. Dungeon chic and tacos.
