Overall, Escondite is described as a bold, fresh Mexican spot with vibrant flavors, standout guacamole and chips, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that many guests remember after leaving; the menu is praised for variety and quality, with favorites like birria Koreano and a range of tacos, and the Escondite experience is commonly recommended for first visits to sample several tapas alongside strong cocktails. Service is a mixed bag, with some visits featuring attentive staff and quick, smooth service while others report slow pacing and orders being mixed up or missed, which dampen the meal; noise levels can be high and some guests feel portions are small for the price, yet the food is repeatedly described as delicious and inventive, and the overall vibe and consistency encourage return visits.
From the entrance, to the experience, to the food, to the cleanliness of the restaurant. Everything was excellent because of one person, our waitress OLIVIA. We put our experience in her hands & let her chose the food & drink for us, we had a blast enjoying delicious mango salad with beautiful koreano & nopal tacos, to finish off with the upmost best nutella churros, not to mention somme of the BEST drinks we have had in the west island made by yours truly, OLIVIA our waitress, she was so nice & was always checking up on us. We will be back simply for her awesome smile & energy. God bless olivia
Our server Juan was amazing! I had the mushroom tacos & the tuna tostada & they were excellent. 10/10 experience, I highly recommend & will definitely be coming again.
Had a great dinner last night!! Definitely try the guacamole, corn muffin & fish tacos!! The key lime dessert was also delicious! Jess was an amazing server! Will go back for sure!
Considering this was me on a random drive on my last night in town, what an awesome find! Very friendly atmosphere, amazing art, & delicious food. Both of the servers in there tonight were so kind & welcoming. I had one pick out a taco dish for me, & it ended up being my favourite!

Had an amazing meal at Escondite DDO. Jessica Lee , our server & manager was very informative & very sweet. She recommended an amaretto sour made with pineapple which was delicious. We had the Baja tacos as well as the truffle mushroom quesadilla which she recommended adding chicken to. It was so good. The mango salad was very refreshing. Everything was lovely thanks to the great service & great food. I will definitely come back.

This is one where I wish Google had 4.5 stars. It was good but not perfect. We were two people on the sharing menu. Food started off great, all the plates were good except the nachos 2.0 which were just dry dumplings with guac on them. I wish there had been one more plate after the tacos or just some rice to fill us up. Service was quick at the beginning, as the night went on & the place filled up it got slower but I assume that is just a lack of employees like everywhere. Overall I would recommend it for a fun meal.
Première fois & certainement pas la dernière! Toute une expérience culinaire que nous avons eu moi & ma femme! Entrées delicieuses; Nacho 2.0 & général chapon. Repas de tacos qui vient en même temps que l'entrée; camarone & cochinita pibil & les desserts tout simple; churros & keylime pie. La serveuse était très gentille & professionnelle. Nous a laissée le temps de nous adapter au menu & nous a guidée pour bien choisir. Ambiance fabuleuse! Musique & décors sur les murs. Même les toilettes sont spéciales! Lumière orange tamisée & les lavabos sont à l'extérieur des toilettes, comme su Mexique! On a été ravis! 10 sur 10!!😊❤️
