Esquina Cantina

Slow

This place has gone straight downhill. Menu was halved (again), and ironically enough they have clipart of a burrito on the menu and no actual burritos on the menu. Salsa tasted off, queso does not come with the warm flatbread, chicken enchiladas were chunks of overcooked chicken wrapped in room temp corn tortillas and covered in queso. Rice had zero flavor. Carnitas tasted like it was microwaved. One server/bartender for the entire room and he worked his butt off, definitely deserves better food to serve. Corner Pub HQ has gutted this place figuratively and literally and it makes me not want to go there anymore either.

Service is slow but tacos are good. Great salsa, too

This place needs help from the community or something. When we walked in it took a long time for the guy to walk up to us to be seated. He didn’t acknowledge us prior. I realize the place was busy but it made us feel uncomfortable standing so long with people staring and us not knowing what was happening. They didn’t have music playing in the dining room even though they had the speakers for it. We could however hear the kitchens music. He brought us salsa, which it looked absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, when we took our first bites we thought it tasted like they put soda water in it. My husband had to look up why it could be tasting like that and it turns out that it’s because the salsa was OLD… Then he took our drink orders after mentioning that they were out of most everything. I asked if he had the stuff for the tequila coco drink. He said he could make it happen. What he brought back didn’t taste like tequila but like a weird vodka mix instead. He gave us the drinks at half price (or maybe it was happy hour) so that was nice at least. The food on the menu that I ordered looked like it was vegan. The taco salad. Nowhere does it state that it has dairy in it. So I’m eating it, it looks ok, it was half full when I got it so that was kind of disappointing to start. When I got to the BOTTOM of the bowl, it was covered in sour cream… very disappointed. We left feeling very dissatisfied and wished he hadve been honest at the start of our experience that it was all going to suck instead of letting us think it would be a good time. I hope things get better for them, I really do. But we won’t return.

My new fav place but my first visit was better then the second time due to personalty of workers ,but still good

Their website said they were open until 10pm. When we arrived at around 7pm on a Tuesday night, a man approached us and said the restaurant was closed with no explanation as to why they were closing early. People were seated at about a half a dozen tables and were eating.

Amazing! I loved the food so yummy!

I really enjoyed this place. Their ambiance was perfect. Not too loud not too quiet, with decent decor. What I really liked was their creativity with the shrimp and fish tacos. They look pink in the photo, but that’s the pickled cauliflower and onions that were on top making this concoction quite tasty. Totally recommend if you like different types of tacos a little exotic. My friend had something a bit more traditional as seen in photo. I can’t remember the name but he loved it.

EXCELLENT food! Mike, our waiter was over the top fantastic. Hopefully they can find people who want to work, we tried to have lunch here 2 other times before today and unfortunately they were closed due to staffing shortages. Our luck was on the GREAT side today! Come try this gem, it's FIRE

Sad to see how this place has changed over the years. When it first opened they had the best menu and drinks. Was by far the best Mexican restaurant in the Brentwood area. Now it is a very limited menu, only 3 drinks on their entire menu with only tequila in them. Really disappointed with the downfall. Wont' be back.
