Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant, authentic atmosphere and flavorful, fresh menu, with many diners highlighting the quality of the tacos, margaritas, and brunch options. While the tasting menus are frequently recommended for groups seeking to sample a variety of dishes, many patrons point out that individual portions can be quite small and pricey. Service experiences appear inconsistent; while several guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, others report significant delays, lapses in communication, or challenges with billing transparency. Despite mixed feedback regarding noise levels and value, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a festive environment and creative Mexican-fusion cuisine.

Good tacos, nice cocktails, great service. They even made me a special batch of super hot sauce! The chef was not satisfied so they made me a second batch of hot sauce without me even asking! I respect that.

Super belle expérience! Nous avons pris le menu découverte & tout était à la hauteur. Cette formule "tapas" fonctionnait très bien pour essayer une bonne partie de la gamme des cuisiniers. Les cocktails étaient délicieux & notre serveur Jose, fût plus qu'attentioné & efficace. Je recommande chaudement!
