The house salad at La Esquina is so well balanced and fresh, it’s the ideal starter to a satisfying meal. Organic baby greens tossed with avocado, dressed in balsamic vinaigrette, and topped with queso fresco (fresh Mexican cow’s milk cheese), sesame seeds and crispy tortilla strips, the ingredients are perfectly proportioned, giving you a taste of everything without overdoing anything. It’s a simple but downright good salad, and that’s rather hard to find.
