About TAQUERÍA LA ESQUINITA

Tucked in the Las Águilas neighborhood of Zapopan, this taco spot draws in a mix of locals and visitors looking for a laid-back meal any time of day. The draw here is straightforward—tacos served alongside fresh aguas frescas that feel both refreshing and familiar. The menu offers a variety of small plates, making it easy to stop in for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a late-night bite.

The atmosphere is cozy and casual, with a quiet, unpretentious vibe that appeals to college students, groups, and solo diners alike. There's rooftop seating for those who want a bit of open air, though the interior can feel a little utilitarian, reflecting a practical rather than polished approach. Service tends to be friendly and prompt, helping maintain a comfortable rhythm for both those on the move and those settling in for a slower meal.

The place accommodates different needs fairly well, with wheelchair-accessible seating and a mix of table service and quick options. While parking is generally accessible—both free street parking and a parking lot—there's no wheelchair-accessible parking available. It’s a convenient choice for families, tourists, or anyone seeking a casual taco experience without the fuss of reservations or formal settings.

What Locals Say

We live in San Miguel de Allende, but our family has a home in Zapopan, Guadalajara. We are fortunate that this taqueria is a 3 minute walk from the house. The tacos are delicious, and the restaurant is clean and the service is fast and friendly. Decent amount of seating . They are seemingly open all the time, too, which means you can grab a lunch special or hit it up late at night :) The fact that regardless of the day or time the place is bustling with customers says a lot: This is a great taco spot! The bistec and pastor are wonderful, but the carnazas and suadero are to die for! Muy requissimo! If this place was in San Miguel, it would be far and away the best taqueria in town lol. When we are in Guadalajara we don’t skip a chance to grab tacos here. Buen provecho!

Good tacos , they could fix up the place a bit to make it more enjoyable and make it look look more like a nice taqueria to avoid customers feel like they eating inside a bodega.

¡Me encantan! Me gusta mucho la variedad de taquitos y que siempre al llegar te reciben con tu plato de doraditas y cebollas, otro plus de este lugar es que ofrecen aguas frescas preparadas al momento. El personal es muy amable 10/10. Por cierto, aceptan TARJETAS 10/10

As I have only ordered takeout from this place, I cannot comment about sitting inside the restaurant but from what I’ve seen, groups of young people are willing to stay very long either sitting inside or waiting for a table. SERVICE: Very prompt and efficient but not friendly to foreigners who don’t speak the language well. I speak Spanish at a B1 level and yet they would always try to rush me or rely on my friends for my order. I know the shop is busy so that could be a reason. A suggestion would be to review the menu online first if you’re unfamiliar with Mexican cuisine to see if there’s anything you need to Google. FOOD: Always very good! This is my friends’ go to place since both live nearby and it has not disappointed me either. For foreigners from more spoiled countries, the sauces and accompaniments come in plastic bags if you order takeout. Apparently you are supposed to bite into the corners of the bags and let it either drip into another container or on the food.
