I just bought a used ES300. Drove for 1 week, took a trip 1 day, got in car 5 hours later and the a/c is not cooling. The compressors seems to kick on. Is this a problem with this model? What happened?

I went out now 2 days later and the a/c is cooling like nothing happened?????

Have the R134a freon pressures checked and adjusted if needed by adding or removing the required amount to get the pressures right. Don't just add a can, as too much freon may leak a fitting in the evaporator under the dash; meaning an expensive repair.

The mid-90's ES models are notorious for having A/C problems caused by a sticking expansion valve. Your problems sound like those that occur when this part is failing.

This has been discussed numerous times. Do a search.

The expansion valve problem is exactly what happened to me and the symptoms you've described sound exactly like what was happening to me.

Any air conditioning downtime is a BAD thing in Texas. If you're in the Dallas area, PM me and I'll shoot you the contact information of our trusty Lexus repair shop. Good luck!
