Taqueria La Esquina

Very local and pleasant. You can tell that it is family run and authentic because we were only ones speaking English. Walked us through the menu and appreciated their expansive vegan/vegetarian menu that they had. Mexican is one of my favorite foods so it was great to have so many options that we could eat. You must get their mushroom tacos or burrito and the corn ribs. Probably the best things that I have eaten so far on this trip.Not many people there, but we were there early on a Saturday night. They changed the TV so my boyfriend could watch the game and were nice to continue to check on us. Plenty of salsa options and the hot is actually hot which is such a nice change of pace.Very casual and bright. They had a full bar, but we didn't want to drink that night.

Good dinner place near the rodeo grounds! Had a great time here after the rodeo. The service was a little slow, but the food and nice patio was worth it! We had the carne asada fries, Al pastor taco, and Birria burrito and fries were good but the salsa was hotter than advertised.the taco was great. The pork belly appetizer was STELLAR and so were their drinks. We would return when we are close by, but not sure we'd drive too far.

On the way to the rodeo, I stopped by to get some lunch. Ordered the two taco and carmelo plate which was supposed to be to come with a soda but did not. I did order a beer as well, but I expected the soda. Other than that, the food was delicious and flavorful. The sauces are pretty spicy except for the guacamole based crema. The service was great and the artwork and music were enjoyable. I would come back again and get the combo plate but make sure they bring out what they promised on the menu. They do have a good selection of vegan options which I'm impressed with do next time I will bring my vegan friends with me.

This was such a cute little taqueria restaurant! That screamed local, culture, and delicious!!!!The server/host/cashier (him and his family own the restaurant. ) was extremely helpful and patient. He made recommendations and brought out samples of the aguas frescas. He made sure we had plenty of water, salsa, and everything we needed.We ordered a Sonoran hot dog, Quesa Birria tacos, and a taco chingon. They were so amazing and addicting!!! We had to go back for more.... Arizona really has the best Mexican food!! Everything was so flavorful. And such good quality. I learned they use a local bakery and a local meat shop to supply their hot dog buns (so soft and sooo good), tortillas, and meats. And it shows! The taste is out of this world. Yummmmm, you can't go wrong with Taqueria la Esquina!!I only wished I would have tried one of everything on their menu!

- solid birria tacos- solid Sonoran hotdog- tasty hot sauces (one is scorching hot)- nice patio area- lots of vegetarian options Reasonable prices, friendly service

Locally owned taqueria in the corner of Irvington and South 6th Avenue with nice murals. Seat yourself and order some really good tacos and get out of the summer heat. They have combos and even vegetarian options. I chose the pork belly taco cuz yum, it's pork belly and a queso birria taco. You don't see pork belly tacos very often so I was excited about that. The queso birria taco was small, but very flavorful and the broth was good. They offer you an assortment of sauces too. They do have beer and agua frescas. The service was good and pretty quick. I was surprised they weren't busier at 5:30pm on a Saturday. Check out this family owned restaurant!

I got the jackfruit birria here and I thought it was really delicious! I made everything that I ordered on the plate vegan, but there are some areas where you could go wrong seeing that there is the jackfruit birria with cheese option. I almost ordered that not knowing if the cheese was vegan or not so I didn't risk it. I did love the cool vibe of this place and definitely recommend them. I do love most, especially about this place the vegan Mexican offering.

I have heard about this place for years because of their vegan options and finally went to eat there. I was not disappointed one bit. Their vegan options are not your typical ones. The guacamole was so good! It looked like the typical guacamole, but it was so good I asked if there was something special in it. Nope, just made fresh made it delicious. I got the vegan elote ribs. Yes elote ribs! So good. The corn was cooked perfectly. I had the jackfruit and mushroom tacos. Both were good and I'm looking forward to trying the other options. Their staff is super nice as well.

Sooooo many great Mexican Restaurants to choose from in Tucson, but Taqueria La Esquina has definitely become one of my favorites! The food is absolutely amazing, hands down! I guarantee anything you order on the menu is going to taste great. There is a full bar with plenty of adult beverages to wet your whistle, and I suggest Don Julio 70, but only if you're thirsty... The service is just as amazing as the food, trust me, you won't be disappointed...Two thumbs, two toes and two snaps in a "T" for Tuc Town! Happy eating, my foodies...

THIS PLACE IS SOOOO GOOD. We were looking for somewhere open later and we took a chance on this place. Food was delicious and service was great. Prices were good, too. It was $30 for two of us. 10/10 definitely coming back. Place was super clean, too.
