| - Getting a reservation here is so hard, but you must beg the staff to let you peek into the restaurant if you can't eat here. The ambience is phenomenonal, the painting of the two ladies, the blue skull with flower eyes, the storm trooper & Darth Vader. It was all such a treat to the eyes, I absolutely love how they transformed the space (even the bathroom signs were quirky and fun).
I used to be averse the idea of sitting at the bar during a date, but I must admit I had such an amazing time at Escondite. The bar tender was friendly and let us have our space, he also recommended their specials. I must mention, having previously bad Mexican food experiences, it was hard to convince me but this place made me change my opinion altogether. I loved their corn bread (I could have that all day everyday), the quesadilla was the best I have had in the city so far, the fried chicken taco was absolutely amazing.
Yes, the food was brilliant and we kept eating and drinking cocktails because we wanted to taste it all and didn't want to wait 2 more weeks for reservations. I can't wait to take all my friends there as an excuse to try out the few dishes I missed.
If you go there for the first time, get the 1) tacos, 2) jalepeno corn bread, 3) quesadilla and Miss Paloma cocktail.
I highly recommend this place to everyone. Best Mexican I have had so far!
