La Esquina del Sabor, which translates to The Corner of Flavor, is a fantastic new addition to Winthrop's dining scene. The restaurant has an inspiring backstory—the owner relocated here after a car accident destroyed their previous location.
We started with the shrimp ceviche, which featured large, succulent shrimp, crisp red onions, and creamy avocado. The dish was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor.
Next, we tried the arepa trio, which offers a rotating selection of toppings. This time, it included pork belly, chorizo and carnitas, and chicken. Each arepa was delicious in its own right and perfect for a quick yet satisfying bite.
For drinks, we enjoyed the Jardine, a mixed cocktail that was both refreshing and delightful—a definite recommendation!
The decor is modern and stylish, creating a welcoming ambiance, and the staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will certainly be back. La Esquina del Sabor is a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Colombian flavors and a warm...
Read moreWalked into restaurant to place a take out order with my 9 and 5 year old. Asked for menu.. Instead of standing in middle of the restaurant I went to grab a seat at bar to sit my 5 year old onto, while I looked at menu just for a few minutes. Bar was empty. Out of 6 seats only one was occupied. I grabbed only 1 stool just for daughter. Was told by bar-tender, who spoke no English that was against the law. I was going to try and tell him just for a few moments and that I had done on quite a few occasions at many USA establishments, but I saw he spoke no English. So would have been pointless. Would have walked right out but had promised wife I would try the place. While standing I asked the waitress a quick question about menu, but she told me to wait while she went by me while not carrying one item in her hands. Will never go back. Ever. Felt went out of way to be rude. Upset I was foolish enough to give them my business when they obviously didn’t want it. The other waitress who took my to go order, not the exceptionally rude one, was polite and did...
Read moreSo excited to have Colombian food here in Winthrop! We’ve been ordering take-out from La Esquina in Beachmont for years but it’s a treat to have a nice sit-down version in Winthrop. We made our first visit last night and service was fantastic, the decor of the new space is very pretty and the food was delicious. We started with the Empanadas Parroquiales, which had 4 small chicken empanadas, a perfect starter for our family of 4. The kids shared the smaller Plato Montañero, I had the Pollo con Champiñones, and my husband had the Mondongo soup. Our meals were delicious. I personally think La Esquina serves the tastiest beans of any Colombian restaurant around. Chef’s kiss! We will be back on a Sunday to...
