Don't read the rants - La Esquina RULES

Despite the fact that our waitress totally pressured us into ordering far more than we could handle, Cara and I happily obliged to maul any plate that came our way.

The stars of the night:
- Tinga de Pollo tostadas: slow-cooked chicken, avocado, chipotle pepper. Very interestingly stacked and lots of fun to eat!
- Braised short ribs special: The waitress seemed overly excited when reading the specials list so we had to try it. The ribs were so tender we didn't even need a knife! Perfectly paired with bok choy and roasted garlic. MMMMM.
- THE GRILLED CORN: By far my favorite of the night. Grilled with chile powder, butter and cotija cheese, if I could have one single food for the rest of my life, this would probs be it.
- Warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and creme fraiche: Delightfully warm in the center and spiked with a touch of cinnamon. Totally unnecessary, totally worth it.

I'd definitely return - no rants about the service or bouncers here!
