I left. When you ask about the Pork ribs & the answer is 4 pieces & no side for 26$. Sorry Baton Rouge comes better with the same price point. The drinks are way overpriced. For a glass full of ice that cost 40$ for 2 margaritas which I did buy. Went to birdhouse instead got a pitcher of sangria for 35$ & buttermilk chicken with sides for 23$. Not worth the money they asking for.
The fantastic team at Escondite DDO always take such great care of us. We enjoyed a savory meal with delightful flavors!!! I enjoyed a nice Draft Beer , Some Skinny & Spicy Margaritas as well!! Sam really cares about all his customers, he is welcoming & his Staff are also excellent!! We have NEVER, EVER been disappointed after 30 + times eating there!
The photos are old, we go often & I had taken these in 2020!!! LOVE IT!!! 💘 😻
Beautiful interior, excellent margaritas (aperol marg was particularly fantastic), & the food was so fresh, high quality, & delicious. Relaxed service but everyone was nice & helpful. Highly recommend the steak tacos!!
Escondite has become one of my all time favourite restaurants. I've tried almost every location & I have to say the West Island is the best! The service is always 10/10 like a few days ago I came to eat dinner with my friends & were served by Olivia, she was quick, attentive & frequently checked on us to make sure we had whatever we needed. Also not to mention a total sweetheart! It makes me sad that they're not as busy as they should be because the food & drinks are incredible! Come eat here & get a Margarita Medianoche, share a guac then grab the Esteak Koreano tacos, I promise you won't regret it!!
The food was tasty but nothing to call home about. Portions are good but the tacos had just a bit of garnish ( 4-5 onion little cubes & a couple of pieces of coriander).
We were charged for the salsa!!! No other mexican restaurant has ever charged for!!
The Margaritas ate great!
There was no coffee & even though it was not full the service was slow.
Not a place I'll go back to nor recommend.
Finally we have a good restaurant with a good taste atmosphere & delicious Mexican cuisine in the West Island, that we can enjoy with friends & family. Besides the food, the staff is friendly & welcoming. Margaritas is a must with appetizers & to end the dinner, a Key lime delicacy for dessert.
Tacos are the perfect size & the texture of the tortilla almost to perfection.
I don't know how much I spend per person because we were invited by our friends.
Great restaurant! I wanted to particularly commend the exception service provided by Juan. Being first-timers at the restaurant & having numerous allergies, my partner & I had several questions about the menu. Juan took the time to address our questions patiently. His attentiveness, patience & wonderful personality enhanced our dining experience. Thanks to him, I'll certainly be returning! Additionally, his spicy margaritas are fantastic!
Their waiter Juan was very nice & provided a great & fast service, the food was amazing , defiantly will be going back , I would recommend the strawberry margarita a lot
