""Timing, luck and a little bit of fairy dust," says La Esquina owner Derek Sanders when I ask him about the restaurant's ongoing success. "There's always been a certain amount of fun in the air, but behind the scenes, we take what we do very seriously. The balance is the magic.""
"More than 20 years later on a recent visit to the subterranean restaurant, I quickly realized not much has changed. You still sit elbow-to-elbow in a boisterous, dimly-lit dining room. You can still order Margaritas and sangria by the pitcher. And, perhaps most importantly, the food is still sublime."
La Esquina, opened in 2005, quickly became a popular dining spot in SoHo, known for its lively atmosphere and delicious food. The restaurant offers a unique experience, transitioning from a casual taqueria to a bustling brasserie by night. Despite changes in the city, La Esquina has maintained its charm and quality, with patrons enjoying its signature tacos and cocktails. Owner Derek Sanders attributes the restaurant's success to a mix of timing, luck, and a serious approach to their craft, ensuring a balance that keeps customers returning.
