Great local spot, that I want the world and yet no one to know about, all at once…read more I had a craving for fish tacos. Sir we ventured here. I have the El Pascado, TallGirl had the Adaboado and the Coco Loco. For good measure we also got chips and guacamole. They have stubborn cola, which is always a hit for me. The chips were fresh and crisp and perfect amount of salt. The guacamole had a lovely lime hit. It was very good (from a non guacamole lover) and I especially like it with the chipotle salsa. My tacos were so yummy! I love how each taco had some fresh fruit on it. Each bite made my mouth happy!! The service was friendly, quick and personal. I felt like we were in a place where everyone knows your name. There is outdoor seating in the front and rear patio. And about 11 tables inside. This is on the list to come back to again and again!!

When ordering my food customer service was great. I sat own and received chips and salsa. These were great as well, the chips were amazing! Today I ordered the Vegan Avocado, Vegan Al Pastor and the Vegan Zucchini tacos. I was really looking forward to the chips and salsa but I didn't receive anything :/. Since I was the only one that just ordered in the restaurant I just figured maybe they don't offer them anymore. My food came out quickly but it was nice last time to have the chips to scope up my fallen fillings. Another customer came in and ordered and within minutes they received chips and salsa. Not sure why I didn't receive anything. I was disappointed I didn't receive any because I really enjoyed them my last time here. Atmosphere is great and a nice quiet place to enjoy your food.

I was in this shopping center and decided to give them a try. I walked in, the space is small with…read moreone table outside. The place had a good amount of people inside around 10:26am. I decided on my order and went up to the register, then I noticed the cash only sign on the register. I didn't have cash on me but my sister did so I proceeded to order. It took 20 minutes to get a breakfast burrito. While the staff was pleasant I won't be returning there were many things that could have been better including the taste of the burrito.

Wow where do I start…read more My mom wanted mexican food, so she told me to come here. I phoned in our order. I ordered 2 beef soft tacos with rice and beans and a carnitas burrito. I asked on the phone what comes in the burrito. All she told me was carnitas and guacamole. I say ok can I add beans and cheese please. They said yes. That's it for my order. I come to pick it up, it's cash only I called in the order, it would have been nice of the person on the phone let me know that it's cash only so I can be better prepared. That was annoying. So I had to go to the ATM, get charged a ridiculous ATM fee. Then I confirm with the lady that the burrito doesn't have Pico de gallo because Im allergic to onions. She says no, but the guacamole has onions. I say oh I'm sorry, I cant take the burrito then. She gets upset, talks crap to her fellow co worker about my order, then I guess refires the order. I didn't know she was going to refire, as I kept asking her if she was going to do that, she didnt have to. That night, my mom gets sick and is throwing up. My mom believes she got food poisoning. I wouldn't doubt they probably did something to our food after the ladies bad attitude. Needless to say, we will not be coming back. Their carnitas were dry anyways. I told her I cant take the burrito

As I was driving over to Escondido on a Saturday afternoon, somewhere between Cole Grade Rd and…read moreValley Center Pkwy I stopped at a red light. It was there I saw the sign "e'*lo*te", uniquely stylized with noticeably bright green and yellow colors. This wasn't at their restaurant but probably a street vending operation. The logo definitely caught my attention, and there was a fair number of customers grabbing food to go. Fast forward, and it's now 8:30pm. Along Valley Pkwy, I see the same logo, and I figured let's give them a go. Customers were coming in and out, though at this hour there was no one else dining in. I decided to try an adobada burrito with a combination of rice, beans, corn, and a selection of other fillings like cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. The TV was showing local news about the newly elected local fire chief while I waited. Service here was quick, and Ericka piled on the ingredients. As generous of a portion as it was, I devoured the whole burrito in one sitting. Great flavors from the pork, and the sweet corn rounded everything out nicely. Looking at the menu and all their other offerings, this place deserves a repeat visit. As a side note, the area behind the restaurant has the Escondido Street Market every Friday from 6pm to 9:30pm.

We generally go to the one in valley center but because it was getting late and the other spots we…read morewent to were already closed, we decided to stop by Elote in Escondido. We got their corn in a cup but we were not impressed with the cleanliness and set up of the place. The worker kept touching the computer, his face and the iPad and then went back to making our cup all with the same gloves. On top of that the kitchen looked very disorganized with dirty trays everywhere in the back. The knives were all dirty not clean. I decided to still buy the cup but ultimately ended up throwing it out. Additionally, there a taco set up in the front and also a hot dog guy in the back... got me confused didn't know who to order from. There's a lot of organization that the place needs and the workers need to be trained on how to keep their areas clean. I know it gets tough with rent and maybe why the space is being shared with the hot dog food truck in the back but I bet if they organized the place better a lot more customers would come in. I would not order from here if you're scared of getting some sort food Bourne illness. We'll stick to going to the competition for now.

Food was mid, but the prices made it even worse. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place…read more This is probably some of the worst Mexican food I've had in Escondido, and I've eaten Mexican food from many different parts of Mexico and the U.S. The meat had way too much fat and also had a strange, almost fishy taste. The rice was hard, and overall the food just didn't taste very authentic to me. I'm not someone who normally leaves bad reviews, but I think honest feedback is important if a business wants to improve. The price also shocked me. We got 6 small tacos, 4 Jarritos, 1 aguachile, and a side of rice, and the total came out to $71.01. I don't mind paying higher prices if the food is really good, but unfortunately the quality didn't match the price at all. Tacos said $3.60 on the wall Not sure the price for the aguachile but the plate was small, I'm surprised the price was that high usually you don't have to spend almost $100 for Mexican food for 2 people Hopefully they take the feedback seriously and improve, because at these prices, the food needs to be much better. Building was hot in the inside service was good that's why I didn't wanna give a bad review but as a business owner myself honest feedback helps a lot

I checked out Mexico Lindo on South Juniper Street in Escondido recently and was really impressed!…read moreFirst from the outside, such a beautiful tree lined sidewalk and nostalgic façade. There is also parking and an entrance in the rear. This family run establishment could not have been more homey and comforting. Very old-school plastic covered, vibrant Mexican tablecloths, tables dotted with crusty bottles of hot sauce and so forth. The place is really a throwback to a bygone era in dining. Worthwhile visiting just for the vibe. The service itself was outstanding. Warm, friendly, welcoming, and personable. I felt like part of la familia the whole time. The menu here features many of the Mexican restaurant basics like enchiladas, burritos, tacos, seafood, etc. I ordered the enchiladas, one cheese and one chicken. Both come smothered with their delicious, richly flavored mole sauce. Topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and crema. Such an excellent dish despite the enchiladas being rather conservatively filled. Not sure if they have chips & salsa service here but I wasn't offered any. My Modelo Especial was served in a bottle, nicely chilled with a side of lime wedges. I look forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommended if you haven't been.
