La Esquina - SoHo
Now if you want to eat somewhere with incredible ambiance, food, drinks and feel like you're in a underground secret club, then you should go to La Esquina in SoHo.
This is the place that you go to for one too many chili margaritas and a good time. After eating at La Esquina you will be bragging to your friends and family because of the entire experience.
This includes a secret door at the back of a diner, steep stairs leading to hell, exposed brick, soft yellow lighting (which is my only lighting), exquisite Mexican food including tapas of grilled corn (Elotes Callejeros) and a ceviches that will have you booking a fishing charter tomorrow and all of this is topped off with a chili margarita (Pepino Diablo) that will rock your world and then cool you down with cucumber.
Recommend booking in advance.
