Amazing experience as always! The portions could be small for some but I think they are perfect & more importantly very tasty. The service was incredible from the moment we walked in, & the bartender was a true standout. After I asked for a surprise drink, they took the time to craft the perfect cocktail. You can tell they really care about what they do. Highly recommend!

We went to the Escondite for the first time last monday. The food was pretty good, we got the tacos al pastor & baja tacos, amazing but a little pricey.

The best part about this place has to be the service, our server was Charlie. Great with recommendations, & has a great knowledge of both food & drinks. We had an amazing time with him. 100% will be going back

We had the pork, lamb, shrimp & fried chicken tacos. We love the lamb best with little spice. We also had the Gyazo Nacho (they are Gyazo but with Guacamole on it) & pork ribs. All the seasonings are perfect!! The person serving us was top notch, it was our first time there, the person recommended the portion which was very helpful! They even try to replicate a drink they don't have on the menu!
