This has been a great treasure. It is not, nor does it pretend to be, a Mexican restaurant for “gringos”. This is the “real deal”. I am a gringo, and I speak Spanish, but I have observed that all who do not, will still find a warm reception. It is a simple, no frills, classy place, with pure authenticity. On frills, if you like stuff really hot, just ask them for the “secret Salsa” with Habanero… they will ask “how did you know?”, and you just answer “I know what the cooks are up to when nobody is watching :-)”… of course, you must ask for this salsa in Spanish. More on frills, Fish tacos, pretty much anything they prepare will be hard to find at a Gringo Mex restaurant. I repeat, this is the real deal.

This is not your typical taqueria. It's a cute restaurant, outside of downtown Los Gatos, but its food is quite fine. Don't be fooled by the fact that is outside of the main downtown area. I am Mexican and a bit of a foodie, and I am impressed by La Esquina. It is fresh, very well prepared and the presentation is always very nice. Their mole is delicious and their cilantro shrimp are awesome. Those are some of my favorites, but everything I have had there, has been very good. The service is great and the atmosphere relaxed, and friendly; whether you are all dressed up or in your grubbiest wear, you will feel comfortable and welcome. I highly recommend La Esquina.

My memory of this place is that of "Way too much good food". Loved every bite of their enchiladas, Burritos, Salad bowls.
And being a vegetarian, the above in their veggie "avatars" were simply to die for :-).
Just thinking about that food makes my mouth water. Back then, all for 8-10USD. and it was always worth it.

This place is so good!! I've been coming here since I was in second grade, and now I'm in high school. I have yet to find a Mexican place with better food. The atmosphere is very fun, even with games in a corner. The owner is incredibly nice, and I always talk with her while I wait for my food. 10/10 would recommend

Since it re-opened with new owners there has been a huge change for the better. The service is amazing and they are cooking delicious food for a good price. I've tried three dishes so far and I will definitely be a returning customer!

Best secret authentic Mexican food restaurant in Los Gatos. Voted "Best Burrito" by Los Gatos residents. Tons of dishes, food specials, drinks. Very colorful, great for families, vino paint nights, birthdays, catering, private events, etc. The menu will have you laughing!! Delicious food, and some "secret" items too! Must try if you're in the area!

I came here on a thursday morning for breakfast / lunch with my boss.
I got the chicken salad and she got the juevos rancheros.

The chips we got were stale but the food was delicious. Definitely will be back next time in town

Good. Burritos at athe right price. A bit busy right at lunch time with a few takeout orders but well worth the wait.

New ownership, my food was fantastic and the waitress went out of her way to explain meals and suggested hot salsas. Ask for the habanero/jalapeno salsa if you dare!
