Great food, great service! Highly recommend the tasting menu for sharing. The plates kept coming out & each was tastier than the last. Get an assortment of dips too!

3rd Escondite location that I visit & the food & service were excellent. You should consider getting a reservation to come on weekends or busier nights. We were part of a group reservation & had a tasting menu that included Mango salad, corn bread, chicken General Chapo style, quesadillas, chicken & fish Tacos & churros for dessert. All were delicious. Our server, Olivia, was very attentive & helpful, just a pleasure to deal with.

Our waiter was really nice & tried his best, but was alone to seat people, take orders, bring food, make drinks & bus tables.

Management should be ashamed for scheduling a single person to cover an entire front of house.

Restaurant was cold (in temperature)
We had the sharing menu & everything was delicious except taco contents were too deep fried. But everything else was amazing.
