La Esquina Mexican Grill in La Mesa's Grossmont area operates a drive-through and counter-service taqueria at 5100 Jackson Drive, established in 2018. House-made aguas frescas and horchata are blended throughout each service to pair with the California burrito and carne asada fries, placing La Esquina on the Jackson Drive dining corridor alongside The Hills Pub and its craft-draft tap wall. Signature items include potato rolled tacos and a pollo asado burrito built around citrus-marinated chicken grilled to order at the flat-top station. The drive-through window serves the full taco and burrito menu to Jackson Drive commuter traffic near Grossmont Center, a retail corridor where Banbu Sushi Bar & Grill draws diners switching between Latin and Japanese flavor profiles. The kitchen specializes in TJ-style street taco preparation using doubled corn tortillas loaded with cilantro-onion relish and a carne asada char technique imported from the Tijuana taco-stand tradition.
