La Esquina Cocina (LEC), a beloved Mexican restaurant in downtown Huntsville, will close its doors after January 4, 2026.
Plans for the Future
The restaurant announced the closure in a recent social media post. While the owners did not provide specific reasons, they confirmed plans to reopen La Esquina at a new location in the future. They emphasized that this pause will allow them to focus on other projects and ensure the highest quality service when the restaurant returns.
A Look Back
La Esquina first opened in downtown Huntsville in 2020 and quickly became a local favorite. Its second location in Guntersville, which opened in 2022, will remain open and fully operational. The owners expressed gratitude to their loyal customers, noting that support from the community helped the restaurant thrive for almost six years, even through the pandemic.
Staying Connected
Customers are encouraged to follow La Esquina on social media for updates about the new location and future plans. The owners stress that this is not a farewell, but a temporary pause, promising to bring La Esquina Cocina back to Huntsville in a fresh and exciting way.
