The neon sign above this corner restaurant beckons to weary and hungry passersby, promising wallet-friendly and edible snacks for the late night munchies. The taqueria does not disappoint, with tasty chorizo tacos and plates of enchiladas. Our recommendation is to grab a Topo Chico and carry your tacos across the street to the park benches. However, should you desire more of that Soho flair, allow us to introduce you to La Esquina's fancier digs. A not-so-secret door in the taqueria opens to a basement restaurant, complete with chic patrons, high-end cocktails and raucous good time. Think of it as family friendly up top with a big-time party down below.
