La Esquina Sandwiches — Restaurant in Boston

It wasn't even time for a meal.

I was driving through Dorchester, pulled up to a stop sign, and saw the sign: La Esquina ("The Corner") Restaurant.

I had never even heard of a Dominican sandwich before. And here, right in front if me, practically in my lap, are best Domimican sandwiches. The sign says so.

So of course you know what happens next:

Like Pippin with the pint glass at The Sign of the Prancing Pony:

"I'm getting one!"

It is awesome.

Shaped like sub roll, but crispy outside and soft inside, choice of meat ( I didn't see any vegetarian options), and heaped with a million toppings (veggies, sauce, other stuff, I don't even know what was on it). I think it was pressed like a panini but I'm not sure.

Best sandwich I've had in a long time.

As a bonus, they're open until 1:00 AM every day.

Corner of Blue Hill Avenue and Ellington...

After waiting for about 15 minutes for them to make 2 order of the hot dog special. I expect it to cost about $14 each hot dog totaling about $30 after tax.

The dog was good but it wasn't $15 good. I've tasted better hot dogs at a street vender for way less... the quality of the ingredients wasn't the best either. Basically nothing special but the size.

There was two basically two hot dog sausage put on a long sub, topped with cabbages, with liquid cheese and small amount of ground beef.

I was a little disappointed spending $30 on something so simple... I could've gotten better tasting high quality meals at...

Yo ordene un chimi, lo cosineros se la pasaron en musica y hablando mas que trabajan. El chimi con la carne sobre quemada y con queso americano.

I ordered a beef chimi and the meat was nearly burnt rubber, the chefs were talking and being distracted messed up my sandwich, let alone put yellow american cheese on a chimi.

Never coming here again completely disgusted with the quality. The women upfront were polite and i wholeheartedly respect that and their service.

Its the cooks that didnt...
