Love Great Mexican? Love bars? Enjoy late night bodega's? like Secrets? shhhhhh.... don't tell anyone about La Esquina's underground restaurant. On the outside this place looks like a deli but it's really a Taqueria....need I say more?
Visit: 114 Kennare St (between Lafayette and Cleveland) and be impressed. Behind the door marked "Employees Only," down the stairs and through the kitchen, lies a gothic vault ornamented with wrought iron gates and dripping candles....Lots of unpretentious music and fashion types chill here....This place is under the radar and you need to book a reservation 3 weeks in advance. *oh and the chicken tacos and tostadas are highly recommended.
im ready to be impressed I've walked past this place a bunch of times and thought it was dirty mexican diner. Apparently NOT, but don't worry i wont tell anyone..SHHH! I definitely want to check out (almost) anyplace described as a "gothic vault ornamented with wrought iron gates and dripping candles." that's on the edges of SoHo. Craziness.
