Located in an area that you would expect less noise while dining, but can’t expect some people to perceive a Mexican restaurant no other than some kind of Mexican beach establishment. Other than this, a very good tasting and very casual dining experience.

Great place to go. I haven't been there in years as I had moved out of town. We sat outside and it was fun. Food was good and margaritas great. Server was so kind, great customer service as he was helpful in the end when we all wanted to pay separately (kind of a pain but it didn't matter to him).

The food was excellent. Our table had steak poblano, shrimp quesadillas and chicken flautist. We had a 14 month old baby with us and the staff were super accommodating and sweet. We met the regional manager and the assistant manager, both of whom took the time to welcome us and introduce themselves. They gave us a free dessert and gave the baby a tortilla and rice and beans. Linda, our waitress, was a real pro with all 3 generations she served.

This store has gone from being a favorite with thousands of $ spent to ill I’ll never go again. Our server asked for orders before the menus hit the table. The place wasn’t even half full. Kept pressing. When our food arrived I received the sorriest excuse of a flauta I’ve ever had. Toasted on three sides and soggy on the bottom. I’m just astounded at how this spot has tumbled. I’ll never set fort in there again.

We had a fantastic visit to Escalante’s. We were a large group of 20 and celebrating a birthday. Our servers were excellent, and they timed food and beverages perfectly to ensure a comfortable pace. The food was hot, well seasoned, and delicious.

Eduardo was awesome as usual. The food is outstanding and the frozen margaritas were perfect. This is our go to place on Friday night. Went to North Italia Saturday night and there margaritas were a waste of money with no alcohol in them. Should have came back to Escalante’s. See you next Friday.
