This was the best asada I have ever had. So so good. My friends had burrito and shrimp tacos and the carne asada they all said it was really good! Great customer service. They were so nice.

The chili relleno was delish (5 stars) after the Nigiri options limited keeps the babes fresh ( I think the portions are generous and this size issue may throw some people off) but I personally am not one to hate doggy/ride home treat bags.

An excellent addition to the Burien Mexican food spots. The inside is spacious with the largest bar and liquor collection in the neighborhood. Top shelf margaritas are tangy and excellent. The food is a far cut above your standard Mexican fare with massive burritos featuring your choice of uniquely spiced proteins including adobada, asada and even birria (goat).The most interesting dish is the pollo Al pipian which is a quarter chicken slow roasted in an earthy sauce highlighted by pumpkin seeds. The bird falls off the bone with the slightest swipe of a fork and is succulent and complex. And the sauce is great to dredge the accompanying rice and beans through.Wonderful spot for an after work marg or a gathering of friends to watch the game with a frosty Modelo.

Very excited to try this place as the reviews were awesome. Came here with a friend and we both ordered Cadillac margaritas, jalapeno poppers, and two different kinds of sushi. Wait staff was extremely friendly and met all of our needs. Cadillac margaritas were a little nondescript and I walked away without even a slight buzz. Jalapeno poppers were fairly small and even though melted cheese was good in the middle, a lot of coating. Sushi was very good and presentation was lovely, but I wouldn't say it was great. Atmosphere was welcoming and as we were leaving they were setting up a band.

100% am going to go back here! We had a carne asada torta and pozole and it did not disappoint. Super nice people, great authentic mexican food, and the margaritas on the patio this summer are gonna be my go-to. Way better than Mission/Matador/any of the Mexican you'll find in Morgan or Admiral Junction!

Way overpriced for Burien. $12.99 for a single shot margarita. Charged us $3.50 for more chips and Salsa (not noted anywhere on the menu nor did our waiter tell us). Small portions. $75.00 for tacos and a torta. How do you say rip off in Spanish? They won't be around long at this rate. PS: written pricing on the menu is suspect.

Sushi at a Mexican restaurant? I had to try it! I ordered the Seattle roll with salmon/cream cheese and it was excellent. Well made, well presented and very tasty (Sushi is currently only available on Sundays).Others at the table had the street tacos and the Chili Rellino. I know they were good because their food was half gone before I could even get a pic :pThe service was perfect and the restaurant itself was warm and inviting. The music was cuisine relevant and was at the perfect volume for conversations to be heard.They have an outside dining area which wasn't open when we were there (In the middle of a rainstorm) but should be open soon. There's also a space for live music which happens a couple nites a week.We'll definitely be back here soon!

My family and friends ate here because we were undecided on Mexican versus Sushi for dinner. We thought it was kind of interesting that they served both types of food and were a little hesitant because of the complete contrast of food selection but thought we would give it a shot. To our surprise everything was amazing. The Mexican food was good, I had the Torta Adobada, but the talk of the night was their sushi. It was so unique having a Mexican twist on the roll selection which was nice to see since sushi nowadays can be very uninspiring and interchangeable, generally using the same three ingredients with different presentations. This sushi was innovative, unique and tasted very fresh. As for the staff, the waitress was beyond kind and dealt with a busy environment without a sign of stress. The bartender made some fantastic cocktails and was quick to deliver. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good drinks, good Mexican food, and/or uniquely genuine sushi. Well done La Esquina, you surprised me with this one.

Late review. My son took we here for his appreciation of being his mother. The staff was kind. We started out with a margarita drink. The place provided a bar lack vibe. My son got a burrito, my husband order the fajitas and I ordered the shrimp tacos. The food was delicious tasted fresh and came out hot.
