    My friend informed me about their 29.00 prime rib special on Weds so we decided to give it a try!…read more We were seated immediately (no reservations required) and our server was very efficient and helpful (although a bit snarky and sarcastic). BFF and I ordered the prime rib special (well done) and it was fantastic (served with mashed potatoes and veggies). Mom was going to order the SF enchiladas but the server did not recommend them so mom ordered a salad instead (we appreciated the honesty). My friend does not eat meat unless it is Halal (she is married to a Pakistanian) so she ordered a side of mashed potatoes and an order of nachos (w/o meat). Everyone enjoyed their meal and also opted for dessert! Mom and I got the pecan pie (she got hers a la mode). BFF and my friend got the apple pie a la mode. We all really enjoyed the meal but the only thing was our server was just a bit too snarky which we did not appreciate. For example, she came by as we were finishing up our dessert and I thought she was picking up our plates so I was going to hand mine over and she said she would be by to take them (no problem); however, she was just right behind me asking the other table if they needed anything and then she picked up our plates. I felt as if she was doing this on purpose (some servers just have an attitude and are not "people persons" as they say). Other than that, I would definitely return!

    Big slice of Prime rib, mixed veggies, buttery mashed potatoes, great happy hour drink specials ,…read moreplus, Live Music !! What more could someone ask for , for a pretty affordable evening out . And of course gambling if you like.

    Went for dinner on a weekday and it wasn't very busy, but it's a great location, facing west so we…read moregot a view of the sunset while we were there. The ceviche was delicious - super fresh and flavorful, and with a nice ratio of chips. We were somewhat indecisive around what main to get as there were many items that looked good but we decided on the chicken mole and wow, I must not have ever had real mole before because it was absolutely better than any than I've ever had before. Great services and drinks and by far one of the best meals I've had in a long time!

    On our third visit to Escondido, we brought my brother-in-law, who had been wanting to take us out…read moreto dinner. He's from the NYC area, and has demanding tastes, but he was totally won over by the food and the service. I had the mariscada, a rich and hearty seafood stew with plentiful baby scallops, mussels, calamari, shrimp, and whitefish swimming in a creamy broth. I didn't think the charred tortillas were quite the right accompaniment for the mix of tastes and textures, and would have preferred more of a salty flatbread, but that's a minor quibble. My wife's chicken mole enchiladas were wonderful, by her account, and it was a filling dish -- we brought back a box with the remains for enjoyment as a lunch. My brother-in-law's red snapper was also reportedly excellent, as exhibited by the lack of any leftovers at all. I stuck with the hibiscus iced tea since I was driving, but I took a sip of his Mexican 75 cocktail -- delicious -- and my wife's silver coin margarita was up to snuff in a tough market, so we can vouch for the libations as well as the food. For dessert, we feasted on the triple sorbet -- lemon, mango, and raspberry scoops on a cunning 3-bowl tray. The lemon was more icy, the mango more creamy, and the raspberry a cross between both in texture. The flavors were outstanding. If only they added espresso to their after-dinner offerings, it would be perfect, but the coffee was very good and came with a variety of sweeteners to choose from, including lump turbinado sugar and white cubes, plus the usual packets. Service was spot-on, friendly, and efficient. Be prepared for elevated noise levels in the bouncy room, but you can still be heard across the table. And the place is so popular that they request you keep your visit to 75 minutes for a table for two, and 90 minutes for 3-4 people, so keep an eye on the time during busy periods.
