Many diners highlight the exceptional service, describing the staff as welcoming, attentive, and professional, which significantly enhances the overall dining experience.

This is for the people that have not yet tried this place because you wouldn't even bother looking at the review if you already went.. 1. Service, amazing. The staff always welcome you with warmth & kindness not once have I gone there & felt the same experience it's always better then the previous one 2. The food?! An explosion of flavours that will leave you asking for more before you even finish the plate. I often surprised myself ordering a second plate to go. 3. The vibe, delightful, good music, everyone is in a good mood it's as if your not even in a restaurant. Now If you other options I can tell you right now go ahead & cancel them they'll still be there ESCONDITE is the place to be. - shout out the staff y'all are a great team

I have been here countless times since I opened up a business a few doors down a year ago. Escondite is one of the last bastions of quality food at affordable prices downtown. Add in excellent service, great atmosphere, & a nice terrace. What more can you want? Yona in particular stands out. He goes the extra mile every time - management take note! My favourites are the tuna tostada & the fish tacos. The mango salad is also really nice.

Je ne donne que 3 étoiles car ils refusent l'argent comptant. Quand j'ai demandé pourquoi, on m'a répondu qu'on ne le savait pas. Je n'irai plus, car je m'oppose à la CDBC. Bonne bouffe, service correct.
