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.

What a night at Escondite on Sources!

I took 23 members of my Meetup group there for Cinco de Mayo. First time for most of us. Owner Sam made booking our large group seamless & was so helpful.

We did the set tapas menu & I was blown away - every dish came out hot, delicious, & full of flavour. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart who made sure we had everything we needed. I wish I'd gotten her name!

& here's the kicker: we could actually hear each other talk. That's rare for Mexican on a busy night.

We'll be back for sure to explore the à la carte menu. Bravo to Sam & the team - thank you for a memorable Cinco de Mayo!

Food was really good we ended up there for a kids birthday party & the kids eat free on Sunday which was a welcomed treat & they all loved the food as much as the adults. Service was excellent & the food is a Mexican fusion which was full of flavor. We had the ceviche & the tuna delicious. We finished with three varieties of tacos the birria (lamb) was unique & delicious the steak tacos were great. We will definitely be back without the kids this time as their cocktails looked amazing.
