Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative Mexican and Asian fusion menu, and standout cocktails, particularly the margaritas. Many guests praise the delicious food, especially the tacos, guacamole, and unique gyoza nachos, noting that the decor and overall vibe make it a fantastic destination in Old Port. While service is frequently described as exceptional and attentive, some diners report inconsistencies, citing issues with long wait times, occasionally rude staff, or challenges with dietary requests. Opinions on portion sizes and value are mixed, as several visitors feel the dishes are quite small and expensive, though the majority appreciate the quality and lively setting for social gatherings.

We went to this place as a bet. My girlfriend was not sure about it but I convinced her it would be good. From the moment we walked in we were treated warmly. We ordered drinks that met our expectations. We ordered the avocado & chips. The dip tasted creamy & smooth as the crispy homemade chips dipped into it. The chips themselves were a delight. We ordered the baja, Mr mole, poll o hermanos, alambre tacos. They were very delish. Overall we had a great time here.
