Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant atmosphere, creative decor, and flavorful menu, with many diners highlighting the tacos, cocktails, and brunch options as standout experiences. While the tasting menu is frequently recommended as a way to enjoy a variety of high-quality dishes, opinions on value are polarized due to concerns over small portion sizes and the total cost. Service quality appears to be inconsistent across visits, with many guests reporting friendly and attentive care, while others note instances of slow service, errors, or a lack of professionalism that detract from the otherwise festive environment.

Dinner for 2, the experience x2, with 2 cocktails & 1 jarritos soda. With taxes & tip $175... looking back & doing the calculation we were charged for the churros when we were told it was included in the experience.

5 of 6 tapas were great... the porc tacos the porc seemed mushy & not a desired texture, similar to the cod tacos the final course before dessert.

Churros were thick & short therefore creating undercooked batter in the middle. Dipping sauce was thick Nutella consistency so almost undippable. Thinner & longer churros would guarantee the inside is cooked properly. A more liquidity dippable sauce would be desirable.

Friendly service & nice atmosphere but at these prices it will be difficult to want to return regardless how tasty & nice the experience is.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical before visiting as you are often disappointed when it comes to eating Mexican with restaurant chains .

Well, I was completely wrong.

The food was stunning , fresh , tasty.

It's a mix of original & fusion food very well adapted.

Hats off .

Will definitely come back.

It's a very well decorated Mexican restaurant. There are some good dishes , some others , not. It's expensive for the quantity of food served. As a Mexican I expect some good tacos no matter the size , but, it's not the experience for this place. Of I had to go again for some reunion, the best tacos are the shrimp ones & the birria ones.
