The service was not great. We,asked for food to arrive as it for prepared as we were hungry Hut we waited for almost an hour before getting even the nachos. They forgot one dish and didn't bring it even after we reminded them so we asked them to remove it but they insisted on bringing it to us at the end of the meal telling us that they had burned the first lot. The second lot was not great and didn't really the description in the menu so we left most of it. The second margarita I ordered was a different colour and on tasting I found it was nothing more than lime juice so had to send that back too. All in all I was disappointed and won't be returning.

We were a large party and the food all came out together and we didn’t have to wait long..love the buy one get one half price on a Wednesday it makes the evening even more brilliant to have cheaper cocktails with a nice hot meal. Definitely going again!

Food was excellent and service was good - cocktails were nice just couldn’t fault it. Only thing was that they had changed the menu, not that that’s really a problem.

The best Mexican restaurant I’ve eaten at, the service is second to none & we will be back. Great food well prepared & perfectly presented. I will recommend you, a friendly environment & a great place to chill.

The front door would not automatically shut so when people open the door it would remain ajar and leave me in a cold breeze. We thought the portions were a bit small but we found out when we got our bill that the sharing meal we thought we had ordered for two persons was only for one, hence being rather small.

Always a great meal here and great to see a new menu too. The restaurant were happy to move us away from another large table and this worked really well, thanks for a lovely evening.

The food was absolutely lovely! The carnitas were amazing and the empanadas were super crispy. The services left a little to be desired, but it was totally worth putting up with for the food.

Can't fault the place, this is the best Mexican myself and my girlfriend have been to. Great food, friendly staff and amazing cocktails, we visited on a Wednesday as Escondido offer 2 for 1 cocktails which is great value. Not the Mexican around but you do pay for quality here.

Staff were friendly and food was great. Only complaint really was that the online menu was completely different from the menu actually available. My husband and I had both chosen from the menu before getting there as we knew we didn’t have much time only to find that neither of our choices was available. I also thought that the chairs were really uncomfortable! Wicker garden style chairs with a very thin cushion. Would not put me off returning though as the food and service were very good.

I had my birthday meal with all the family there and couldn't have asked for more. The service was good as usual and the staff rendition of Happy Birthday although slightly off key was a real surprise and gratefully received. Our grandchildren were well catered for and thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

Lovely atmosphere and the waiter/waitress service was very professional a 5 star alone. I would like to mention we did think the sharing stater off Mexican platter was over priced for the amount of food received. Will we be back?.... maybe give Folkestone restaurant a try first.

Disappointed, food very bland and “non Mexican”. Dessert of waffle was awful. Place nearly empty, no atmosphere and long waits for food. Haven’t been for a long while but returned because it used to be good. Won’t be going again.

We went to Escondido's to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday. We had a great night, the staff and food were very good. The only down side was, we were the only people (party of 7) in the restaurant and it lacked 'atmosphere'. However, this is not a reflection on the restaurant, it was just the time of year, just being 4 days in to the New Year! We would definitely go back :)

Amazing food, plenty of food in a portion, freshly cooked. Recommend the sharing nachos with pulled pork! You don’t have to wait long between ordering and the food arriving on the table. Very friendly staff and great value for money.

Gorgeous food, very friendly staff, mindful of the fact we were on a family meal, and so sat us away from the Christmas parties taking place. Staff even dressed as a giant chilli to sing happy birthday to my 12 year old!
