    Always a favorite of my husband and I. We always get the Lobster fried rice and the Tomahawk for two. Asked for the steak medium, but it came out medium rare. Not a big deal for me but my husband didn’t eat much of it. We absolutely love the lobster wontons, and the Mayo prawns were heaven sent. Also the frozen Lychee cocktail was a stunner! Our server surprised my husband with a birthday cheesesteak slice at the end. Very appreciative of that. Can’t wait to come back!

    We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.

    This was my first time at Esquina Latina. Great menu. I ordered two appetizers instead of an entree. The food was outstanding. My only complaint is that my food came out long before my party was served their dinner even though I specified that the two appetizers were my dinner. Also the wait staff kept trying to clear my plates while I was still eating. Definitely attentive but a bit overzealous. I will definitely go back.
