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.
Cuisine: I loved the authentic Mexican signature Drinks perfect mixing Guacamole was excellent The decoration was very carefully made authentic. It is a very cosy & warm place The service was exceptional & personal I felt welcomed & at home

I organized a work event for 20+ people. Service was excellent, we didn't have to wait at the entrance & the food was yummy. Hundred percent recommended
The food & drinks here are always delicious & the service is fantastic! We had Sophia as our waitress at our last visit & she was patient, happy to answer any questions we had & was just such a genuine pleasure! We had a great time & by the time we left (Saturday night) the music was pumping! Super fun atmosphere & delicious food!
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!
Escondite has incredible food & service. Our waitress was wonderful & kind. I would highly recommend going & ordering the "sample". I hope you come on an empty stomach however, as I found myself under the condition of "full from eating too much food". Fantastic!!!
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.
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

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.
Too loud , cold atmosphere, cheap hard chairs, not enough staff for our party ! BARTENDER RUDE(Trevor) slow bar service! Food Was nothing special, Will never return !!
