J'ai adoré l'ambiance, les cocktails & la nourriture. La salade de mangue est un incontournable ainsi que le poulet Général Tao. Services chaleureux & rapide.
Le resto de la Rue Union est le meilleur Escondite.

The service was excellent, very attentive. As usual, the cocktails were on point, & the tacos & appetizers were delicious. We found the atmosphere warm & energetic, & our server was amazing. We had the guacamole, twice, & the baja fish, fried chicken, al pastor, & Korean beef tacos. It's hard to say which one was best.
