Came for lunch on a Sunday and was amazed by all their vegetarian/vegan options!The eggplant taco was so good, surprisingly good. Loved the variety of tacos here. Also enjoyed the breakfast taco.Indoor and patio seating and a few parking spots in their lot. It's located in the corner of the intersection.

I stopped here for lunch with my co-worker. The place looks like a house converted into a restaurant, which is why I had to circle the block twice.Finally, figured out this was the place. I ordered avotaco, Al pastor, and blackened mahi mahi. They came with both homemade flour and corn tortillas. They were so delicious and I am coming back to try more of their tacos. The staff were kind and it didn't take long to get our tacos.

Food was delicious and hit the spot. Very nice and friendly service, on top of everything. Clean area outside and inside. Great inside details and will be coming back again.

My first time here and Everything was excellent, I had the vegan chile relleno and that was my favorite . I also had the avocato and portabellini tacos that were also very good. My husband had the surf and turf, longosta, and the fish taco, his favorite was the surf n turf, he ordered a 2nd surf n turf , that's how much he liked it. The corn tortillas are hand made and delicious. The guac and chips were some of the best I have had. The chips are thick and crispy and guac is creamy. The cashier and cook are very friendly. I had the fountain soda that is made with natural sugar, it was delicious. Overall, it's a 10/10 experience. Def coming back.

Overall, good experience. Decent size restaurant. They have a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. It's an order at the counter and find a table type service. They do provide patio seating. The guy behind the counter was nice and patient with us. We sat outside and it was fairly quiet as it was only us out there. Inside was packed. Average noise.I ordered the beans with chicken and the surf and turf taco. I gave the beans and the chicken 10/10. The beans were delicious and fresh. The broth had a nice taste. Would definitely order this again. I honestly didn't think much of the surf N turf taco. It was ok. I didn't really care for their choice of shrimp. The meat was good though. Gave this taco an 8/10. Salsa 10/10. Chips were overcooked. They looked burnt. Didn't really care for them.Will definitely come back.

These just may have been the best tacos I have ever had in my life. Wow. Service was quick and kind. If I lived here, I would be eating these every week. Incredible.

Love this place, is an amazing hidden gem. The food is so good and the prices are great. The costumer service also always on point. I drive 50 mins just for this place.

Very filling tacos -- recommend starting with 2-3. Loved the Al Pastor and Maui Mahi. The service was fast and friendly. Good vibes.

Escondido has one of the best hidden gems taco places in all of North County. The menu is deep yet simple. You have a lot of good options but you will never feel overwhelmed. The draft beers are also a solid selection with everything going well with tacos. The service and staff here are incredibly salt of the earth kind of people. You'll feel like you're at home with people you've known for years, even on your first visit. The al pastor, camaron, blackened mahi mahi, and the Escondido coco loco are MUST HAVES for any visit. Also, the chips and guacamole are gonna make you feel like you're back at your abuela's on a nice afternoon. The atmosphere here is laid back and is exactly what Escondido is defined by: authentic food made by authentic people. Make sure to check this place out on your next pass through the town. You'll enjoy yourself and will soon have yet another reason to enjoy Esco.
