La Esquina in Lausanne

A little Mexican corner in Lausanne. It is a gem of a restaurant. Very fast and friendly service. The delicious food. Relatively small portions. Keep in mind that you will eat 3 tacos on average per person. The decoration is very beautiful, I truly felt at home. Like in Mexico!!

Magical place, small but very welcoming, top staff, simply magical cuisine. With the superb decoration we think we are in Mexico...

Well attended! Lots of friendliness and good mood!

Reasonable prices but very small portions. And very noisy.

Very good little neighborhood restaurant where tapas (delicious ceviche and perfect coraiander lime leins etc…) with fair prices.

A real Mexican restaurant in Lausanne! What a pleasure to discover this establishment with its elegant decoration. The lights are incredibly beautiful and every detail is designed to create a warm and festive atmosphere. We were surprised to find that the place was not too noisy despite the crowds. Very nice choice of cocktails which turn out to be excellent! Small wine list with a nice Argentinian Malbec. The cuisine is as colorful as the decoration and gives pride of place to the typical flavors of Mexico. The dishes are balanced and delicious. The tacos are very spicy as well as the guacamole and other dishes. Useful information for those intolerant to gluten: all dishes are gluten-free. We really enjoyed ourselves! It’s a happy and festive place and the service is very friendly and professional. I recommend that you make a reservation because the establishment is quickly taken by storm, which is a sign of high quality. A nice Mexican address to remember in Lausanne!

Excellent! Atmosphere, service and cuisine at the top! Nothing to say ! THANKS :)

10/10! Wonderful decoration, good music, very nice staff, exquisite food and delicious cocktails!

Excellent. Almost 100% Gluten free natvelly and all the kindness to accommodate dairy free alternatives to the tacos with cheese. #foodallergytravel

Great spot. Was there for my birthday and though portions were small for the price, I had a grand time. We live 5 minutes away so you can be sure we'll be back and with friends too. Well done Esquina team! Margaritas are killers, but again, smallish portions compared to what we serve at Barbarossa Lounge SF for the same price.

Excellent Mexican restaurant with authentic cuisine and a great atmosphere! The only small downside is the service, although very friendly, but it is sometimes difficult to get attention.

Thanks again ! Everything is perfect !

I recommend with my eyes closed! 🙌🏼 Amazing food! 🌮❤️Kind staff, fast service and the icing on the cake is a gentleman who plays the guitar and sings Mexican music! All this in a decoration that transports you thousands of kilometers! 🇲🇽 I'll be back! P.S booked in advance!

Excellent service, generous portions, beautiful decoration. It looks like they put heart into it! Thank you

I do not recommend this restaurant. And don't understand the positive ratings for food that lacks taste, texture. It's bland, the tacos are bathed in sauce, the ceviche has a strange taste of cream and lacks freshness. And the price: expensive for what it is. Opinion from a person who loves good food and travels around the world.

Restaurant always full even with a little anticipation. 6 months I've been calling and there are never any places. I pass my turn and let those who anticipate a meal with friends 2 weeks in advance discover this restaurant which will always remain a mystery to me. I'm tired of trying.

Awesome! A warm, friendly and typically Mexican atmosphere. The dishes are super good and the price is very reasonable. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends

Very good establishment! Simple and tasty dishes! GREAT atmosphere!

A superb evening for a Saturday evening! Delicious tacos and incredible margarita, all accompanied by music and guitar songs! I will be back soon !

So… my discovery of the year in Lausanne! More than nice atmosphere, delicious food. I find that we are often disappointed by Mexican restaurants, but there's nothing to it: it's fresh, it's hot and tasty. The portions are ideal for sharing, the quality/price ratio is almost miraculous for Switzerland… I lower my sombrero! ps: I forgot to tell you about the cocktails…

I discovered this little corner of Latin America in Lausanne. And I came away delighted. A shrimp aguachile, spicy as it should be, and a slow-cooked pork taco, just wowwww. Ah another cerveza Pacifico, to calm my palate The service is friendly and efficient. I will come back because there are still lots of things to discover.

Tasty and quality cuisine. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very beautiful decoration in Mexican colors 👏🏼

Just perfect, the owner, the staff, the food ! Nothing to complain. We had a small trip in Mexico during few hours....

Despite the beautiful decoration. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. The reception is always a disaster (with or without reservation) it is always a problem. The staff is very rude and inadequate. The drinks are not good, at least not in representation of Mexico. Then the food clearly lacks taste (starters, main courses, desserts) and it is very expensive for what it is. I went 3 times to get the most objective opinion possible but ultimately I can only recommend this place. It's a shame because the restaurant seemed promising.

By far a small restaurant, shy, 3 tables as a terrace, if you find a table then the journey can begin. There is the Mexican that we are used to in Europe and there is the Esquina. Each bite is an invitation to discovery, to flavors, a perfect balance, colorful, delicious, an exceptional sea bream ceviche, finally Mexican gastronomy in Lausanne. Thank you and see you soon. - 09.11.23 - 2nd visit still incredible

Impeccable food. Impeccable service. Impeccable atmosphere. Thank you for everything.

A very nice evening, everything was just good, we went there as a family: fresh and surprising cuisine, natural, generous service....very friendly. A setting where you expect more than Frida Kahlo, beautiful colors, a decor that immerses you in the popular neighborhoods of Mexico. Well done and thank you!!!

Cocktails and starter (nachos) were good. Then we had a mix of tacos (chicken / beef / shrimp / cactus It was clearly not good, no taste, no flavor, dry. I'm really surprised by the good comments. I do not recommend!

Very very nice discovery. We had a great time, warm atmosphere and staff. We look forward to returning…

Marguerita at the top and good atmosphere. Great discovery

Cuisine with taste. Very beautiful Mexican decor.

Great place to have a great time! The food was good and I will come back to try other dishes. 😉

A real delight! Very smiling and attentive staff! Great atmosphere, music included 😍 I had a really good time! I recommend 1000%

Very good cuisine. Effective tacos, everything you expect from this type of cuisine. The ceviche starter is a treat. On Saturday evenings, a Mariachi sets the mood in the restaurant. Incredible moments if the audience is hot. We even danced to some of the Mariachi music. Excellent value for money. And impeccable service.

I am very happy that this restaurant has opened its doors. Very good tacos, guacamole and margaritas. Very authentic.

Great meal! We particularly liked the cocktails and nachos. The tacos are generously garnished! We will come back!

Excellent addition to the Lausanne gastronomic scene! The dishes are delicious and introduce us to authentic flavors from elsewhere! The guacamole is to die for, the desserts too and the cocktails are very good. The only downside is that all this has a price...

Best Tacos in lausanne, with great ingredients! And amazing Margaritas, one of the best I’ve had in Switzerland

We ordered two mojito last night and we were extremely disappointed on the taste (no feeling the ment and lemon). We complained to the owner and he did not even care on our advise. If you’d like to pay 15 chf for a poorly taste mojito.. please be my guest.

Excellent tacos! Friendly staff, however you might need to wait a little for your cocktails to arrive.

Exotic, authentic and excellent!

Great discovery for this Mexican specialty restaurant. Good products, well served and fresh! Good real Marguerita cocktails to be consumed in moderation... the team is friendly. I love this cuisine so I would definitely return. Stay on course for your success.

Magnificent decoration, impeccable service and such kind staff! The chef's cuisine is sublime

Very nice discovery! Tasty dishes. Glad to have this restaurant in my neighborhood! Thank you for the warm welcome.

Nice to go “snack” and drink a cocktail, their margaritas are excellent!!. Friendly and relaxed staff. Pets welcome

I lived in Lausanne for 10 years and never found real Mexican food. Five years later, I finally found it! Everything from the margaritas and guacamole to the tacos and hot sauces were perfect. Super friendly staff!

Colorful, tasty dishes tasted in a rather unique atmosphere! An absolutely exotic decor, no doubt: this restaurant is the best Mexican in the city!

really great...service, cuisine and cocktails but do something with the air conditioning just above the terrace...it feels like you're on a plane...

Totally recommended. Very good food and the mariachi entertained an excellent dinner.

Most expensive tacos for the size I've ever seen. If you go get 3 fish tacos. I didn't know they made tortillas that small.

The food, the atmosphere, the service, the decoration, I was amazed! We're full of it. A Mexican who knows how to deal with his customers. Come on Saturday you will be treated to singers who set things on fire! The menu is small and the restaurant too, it is better to reserve.

Excellent Mexican experience next to Mont-Repos Park! Best authentic Mexican in Lausanne

The waitresses are adorable, the dishes are good and the owner is very friendly. I will return with pleasure!

Brilliant food for a more than reasonable price, with a warm welcome to boot. I highly recommend

Very much needed authentic Mexican restaurant in Lausanne, with food prepared by Mexicans. Tacos and micheladas are delicious! A piece of home in Lausanne :)

Incredible restaurant, the best Mexican in Lausanne. Excellent tacos: good ingredients, well stocked, very reasonable prices. Beautiful setting, beautiful decoration and above all very welcoming staff and service. I highly recommend!

It's very good, fresh, quality products. We feel a real desire to offer quality cuisine. Very efficient service, we had little time and it followed. To do as a couple with family or friends.

Like a Mexican home. The guacamole was perfect and the tacos were amazing. The staff was super friendly and the ambience was perfect.

Delicous food (everything on the menu is gluten free!!), good vibes and very friendly staff. Only one improvement tip: time and organization of the service.

Lovely Mexican restaurant with tasty food and desserts. Menu is limited but everything we ordered was delicious. Drinks ( we had mojitos) are expensive- 15CHF for one and the tacos are small. The nachos were a good portion and the sauces that came with it added a spicy flavor. For dessert we had arroz con leche - good portion and the flan- small portion. Reservations were necessary. No vegan options - even when asked.

One michelada later and we are back in Mexico! Nachos, tacos, guacamole, horchata, quesadillas... we loved it. The decor is colorful, the staff very welcoming, we will come back very quickly

Great welcome. The decor is very pretty, you immediately feel comfortable. The menu is small but offers the essentials like tacos, ceviche and quesadillas. The cocktails are excellent and generous. I had a great time and I will go back!

Real Mexican food. If you want a spicy dish just ask the lovely owner.

Great address! The welcome is warm and the food is very good!

Very good Mexican restaurant with a very good Margarita and very good tacos. And the service is great.

Great experience! Amazing setting and food.

A treat for the taste buds and a warm atmosphere. The cactus tacos are great! We recommend!!

This is an amazing place. You can taste the real mexican food. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED 🤤

Nice decor with Latin American flavor! Very good atmosphere, the waiter is super friendly! Well done!!
