Escondite emerges in reviews as a vibrant Mexican spot with a strong atmosphere and a welcoming, lively vibe that makes it popular for groups and celebrations. The service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, though experiences can vary during busy periods. Food quality is praised for flavor and variety by many diners, with standout items including guacamole, mango salad, fish and birria tacos, and a range of churros and cocktails; however several comments call portions very small, tapas-like, and pricey for the amount delivered. Some guests feel the flavors are not as authentic or bold as expected, noting bland or underseasoned dishes and a lack of accompanying sides in certain orders. Many reviewers view the Experience menu or tasting flights as a good way to sample different dishes, though value remains inconsistent and some leave wishing for larger servings or better balance between price and portion. In essence, Escondite is seen as an attractive, well-run venue with generally positive food and top-tier service, yet both price and portion size can dampen the experience for those arriving hungry or on a tight budget.
Service was incredible, came in around closing after a long day, & they were incredibly polite about it. Katrina our waiter, & Peter, the chef were both incredible. Their tacos were the best I have ever had. On top of that, the music was great! I heavily recommend stopping by whenever you are in the area, even to make a bit of a detour, as the entire experience was incredible.
My time there was really a good time & we enjoyed it so much , our server was kateryina & she was such & amazing soul we really enjoyed the food & the service I totally recommend this place
I honestly wasn't expecting this place to be that nice… We took experience & it was a lot of good food. Our waitress Katerina was so kind & recommended us delicious drinks. Thank you!

Vraiment déçu de notre expérience. Premièrement, nous avons pris un pichet de Mojito pensant que ça serais moins dispendieux qu'au verre… mais il s'avère qu'au verre les mojitos sont 13,95$ & le pichet est 66, 95$ … le pichet donne exactement 4 verres puisqu'ils mettent plus de feuilles de menthes & de glace que tout le reste. Donc en calculant.. en prenant un pichet ça revient à 16,49$ pour 4 verres.
L'entrée de nachos étais vraiment ordinaire… quoique la guacamole étais délicieuse.
Mais les repas principaux … 2 petits tacos miniatures qui nous laisse sur une faim avec aucun accompagnements dans l'assiette.. je croyais que c'était une blague ! Je recommande plutôt le 3 amigos qui est beaucoup plus abordables & on en a vraiment beaucoup plus pour notre argent ! De plus le service est vraiment mieux au 3 amigos & il ya beaucoup plus de variétés!
We had the opportunity to be served by our waitress Jennifer (definitely ask for her if possible). From a someone who has experience in the culinary world this place has the perfect choice of flavours & the man in the back definitely knows what he's doing! The manager Peter solved any questions I had & elevated the experience with his presence. Honestly there is nothing I would change highly recommended place for family & dates!
I had a lovely experience at Escondite. The food was very good, & the drinks were spot-on for a fun night out. The manager, Manuel, was incredibly welcoming & ensured everything went smoothly. The restaurant had a lively ambiance with enjoyable music that added to the overall vibe. With great food & service, it's definitely a place I would recommend. Positive vibes all around!
The service is worse than McDonald's. Very desappointed about my visit. I would definitely not recommend it. We waited 30min after we finished eating & we had to go to the front desk to get it. The food was average. Some tapas were goog & tasty other tasteless. Also the brought us the wrong taco on the second round & didn't even bother to ask us if it was fine. Terrible experience

Great tasting tacos in a nice ambiance. Pricey but good food. Def recommend the Korean tacos as the meat was juicy & nice & hot. Just the way I like it. Portions are on the smaller side you will need to order more dishes.
We had such a great lunch on their patio. Jeff provided great customer service. He even brought an umbrella to shade us from the sun that day. The drinks was were delicious. The tacos we had were very tasty. I didn't take pictures of the inside but it was definitely nice inside. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
