Visiting from England. Stumbled across this place. Found the food to be extremely tasty & fresh. Particular highlights were the ribs, gyoza nachos & guacamole. Shrimp tacos also deserve a mention. Friendly service & a most enjoyable evening.

The vegetarian tacos are disappointing. They're small, simple, unimpressive flavour. Can't believe they're $6 each for basically 3 bites. If you're vegetarian I suggest avoiding.

Margheritas are excellent though.

Solo dining at the bar. No reservation on a Friday night - it was busy. Mango salad, Al pastor tacos & an aperol margarita were great.

Très belle expérience au Escondite! Suis allée pour souper avec une amie & notre serveuse fut à la hauteur! Bon accueil, belle ambiance, pas trop bruyant. Le tacos à l'agneau fut divin, je le recommande! Que dire de la guacamole, ouff! Somptueuse! Merci!

Omg the smallest portion! Was soo disappointed. Look how sad the tacos look! Got the cauliflower tocos. It's a weird portion of 2 tacos with very little filling! The service was sooooooo slow! Save your $$ & go somewhere else.

Super bon tacos, restaurant ambiance très mexicaine & très agréable. Prix moyen mais vaut la peine considérant la qualité de la nourriture.

We loved our experience at Escondite. The food was exceptional as well as the atmosphere.
There were little mixups with our orders, but the server was very accommodating & made it right. I can't wait to eat there again. I'm still thinking about the delicious ceviche & the fish tacos.
