I'd give this place 6⭐? if I could.
It was packed at lunch today. I sat at the bar as I was solo. I had a margarita & fish & steak tacos. Damn so good & tasty. Wish I could have had a couple more. I'll be back soon.

Nous avons dégusté l'Expérience Escondite pour le dîner hier & c'était vraiment agréable de pouvoir essayer les différents plats offerts. Les Gyoza Nachos & les tacos à l'agneau mariné ont été parmi nos coups de coeur. Eric nous a offert un super service & s'est assuré d'équilibrer les plats végé & viandes pour plaire à tout le monde.

Je dirais que ma seule critique est que certains plats manquaient un peu de goût, notamment les quesadillas qui étaient un peu fades.

Au niveau des boissons, la limonade aux fraises est définitivement à essayer. & pour finir, l'ambiance du restaurant est vraiment chaleureuse!

This place is an absolute gem for authentic Mexican food! The tacos were outstanding, especially the lamb - tender, flavorful, & perfectly balanced with fresh toppings. The touch of coriander & parsley added a refreshing burst of flavor that paired amazingly with the richness of the meat, making each bite unforgettable.

The atmosphere has a vibrant, genuine Mexican vibe that immediately sets the mood for a great night out. It felt warm, lively, & welcoming - the kind of place you want to come back to often.

A big shout-out to Charlie, who made the experience even better. He was genuine, attentive, & incredibly friendly, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. Service like his really makes a difference & adds to the overall experience.

If you're looking for excellent tacos, great vibes, & fantastic service, this spot is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back! 🌮🍹
