Les avis réunis sur Escondite présentent une expérience mexicaine moderne, où la fraîcheur et les saveurs audacieuses des plats comme le guacamole, les tacos et les créations tapas sont le point fort, avec une ambiance vivante et conviviale qui donne envie de revenir. Certains commentaires louent particulièrement la qualité des cocktails et l'attention portée aux plats, notamment les tacos au steak et les variations de birria, et le service rapide lorsqu'il est en forme. Cependant, des critiques récurrentes portent sur le service, parfois lent et désorganisé, des commandes oubliées, des temps d'attente qui peuvent gâcher la soirée, et un rapport qualité-prix qui ne satisfait pas tout le monde en raison de portions parfois petites et de tarifs élevés. La musique peut être un peu trop présente et l'espace bruyant lors de certaines visites, mais l'ensemble demeure une option populaire pour des sorties entre amis ou en famille, avec des retours largement positifs sur l'atmosphère, la convivialité et la constance des saveurs.
Just left Escondite first time getting a takeout order starving with starving gf waiting at home… I have to say - the moment I walked in, amazing staff, clean, inviting, family friendly, & positive energy.
However, * SOPHIA * completely set the bar a notch higher making this an outstanding experience. (I'm still hungry btw) She greeted me with genuine care, compassion, was extremely professional, & knew the entire menu inside-out (she even suggested the perfect pairings & explained every detail with authenticity). She represented Escondite as a brand so beautifully that I actually felt compelled to leave this review before I get on the road. Trusted her with my choices lol.
People like Sophia (are rare lately) the example of hope & kindness above everything else. 5-star reviews before you eat; I'm sure are rare too. She's not just good at her job - she's the kind of hostess every restaurant owner wishes they had on their team. Management, if you're reading this: do whatever it takes to keep her happy & valued. (I'd say bonus) but value is more appropriate ✅
Absolutely nothing negative to say about this restaurant. Everything was amazing.The El General Chapo & the tacos al pastor… HOLY GUACAMOLE 🤩🤤 next-level flavor. Fresh, bold, & perfectly done.
One of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. 100% coming back.
The food is great & the atmosphere is nice. I thought the music was a bit loud, & there were a lot of us in the restaurant, so we had to talk very loudly, but that's just my personal preference. The service, unfortunately, was very disappointing. Our food came out pretty slowly. It took quite a while to get our drinks (after the first course), & the waitresses got our orders mixed up. I'm not sure if it was just a bad night, but...
Hopefully they'll improve their service next time.
Amazing tacos & very friendly service by Anna the bartender as well as the waitstaff Olivia & Sophia. Tried the camarones & Mr. Mole Tacos recommended by Anna the first time I visited, which were both equally great. Definitely recommend & on my list to visit again when in the area!

The food was wonderful but the service was so bad it was almost impossible to enjoy it. The server forgot about our table completely multiple times as well as forgetting multiple items we ordered. She brought us incorrect items & acted annoyed when we asked for what we ordered. We had to keep flagging her down so we could order our drinks, food, etc, etc. We were told we had a limit of 2 hours at our table. That was no problem, but it took almost 45 minutes just to get our drinks (two bottled beers). The table next to us arrived 15 minutes after us & got their drinks & food before us. The whole meal went this way. The manager was in the back of the restaurant the entire time, despite his servers clearly needing help. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the servers were not prepared/well trained at all. We were stressed the entire time because of the time limit & the fact that everything took forever. It felt more like I was at work, instead of having a relaxed night out. Even though the food was good, we won't be returning. Eating out is expensive & not worth it when the server ignores you or acts like you are putting them out by being there.
The fantastic team at Escondite DDO always take such great care of us. We enjoyed a savory meal with delightful flavors!!! We spent a lot because we drank shots (6x), Beers (7x) , Skinny & Spicy Margaritas (2x) as well!!
Sam really cares about all clients & we have NEVER, EVER been disappointed after 20 + times eating there!
The photos are old, we go often & I had taken these in 2020!!! LOVE IT!!! 💘 😻
Came here looking for a fun spot with a great vibe & Escondite totally delivered.
Huge shout-out to Anna - she was super friendly, asked the right questions, & nailed the cocktail & food recommendations. Everything was full of flavour. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great night! 👏🍹🌮
Ambiance générale très agréable.
Nous avons pris l'expérience à partager, nous avons eu assez de nourriture & avons pu goûter à plein de chose.
Si vous recherchez une cuisine mexicaine authentique ce n'est peut-être pas exactement ça, mais c'est original & très bien!!
Lovely experience from start to finish. The team was incredibly kind & attentive, & it was great to see the owner so involved. You can really feel the care behind the place.

Juan was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel genuinely welcomed with his warm & attentive approach. His suggestions were spot-on, & the service was impressively quick-from exquisite appetizers to beautifully prepared meals.
The quality of the food was nothing short of sensational. Combined with a great ambiance & excellent service throughout, it made for a memorable experience.
Salud to Juan once again-thank you so very much! 🍷✨
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!!
Last night i was extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered nachos & it was served with no tortilla chips but 5 dumplings with Mexican toppings. When i asked the waitress what was the reasoning for this she advised this restaurant is Asian fusion with Mexican. No where on the menu did it mention this or anywhere in the restaurant. Husband ordered 3 dips then when they were delivered to the table was advised if you want tortilla chips to go with the dip this will also cost extra. Not impressed & will needless to say will not be visiting this restaurant again.
Last note we had a 6 pm reservation & i called ahead to say we were running late at 5.30pm & if i could change our reservation to 6.15pm. Was advised sorry we only take reservations for every half hour therefore we could only have 6.30pm. No problem however when we arrived there were only 2 tables occupied, restaurant nearly empty. Again not impressed with the customer service. This was unnecessary. Totally understand if they were busy however no I know why the restaurant had barely any customers inside.
