I've been going to many locations of Escondite for many years. In the last two years the food quality has gotten horrible. First it was the Monkland one. It closed down. Now the old port restaurant on Saint Paul is terrible. The pastor was like cat food. The New El Paso dish was so bad I couldn't finish it. This is the third time over the last few years at that location that the food has been horrible. I'm done. Never going back

Stopped at this taco place on my visit from Vancouver. As a Mexican I really enjoyed the atmosphere & the decor. Server was very friendly also. Go there & enjoy some good Latin music & tasty Mexican/fusion food.
