La Escondida

We love the fajitas here, especially the lunch special which is a better value. Lunch doesn't come with guac or cheese though. I really like that their fajitas come with zucchini and yellow squash instead of your typical bell peppers. It's a good different. They also have some delicious chunky potato salad that they always give with their fajitas. Today we got the sweetheart special with appetizer, fajitas for 2 including shrimp, beef, and chicken, and cheesecake sopapillas for $50. We figured since we were going to order fajitas anyways, we might as well do this! I expected the portion size of fajitas to be a bit larger though and we had to ask for more tortillas. The sopapillas were light (very thin dough) with some cheesecake filling. It was a good combo but probably wouldn't order it again. The corn appetizer was spot on and the empanada was small but crispy and probably could have used a bit more filling, but still tasty. Overall, we left with our fajita craving satisfied!

The struggle to find good authentic Mexican food continues...Where to start? First, it's a very limited menu and not a lot of typical Mexican dishes. Chimichangas? Nope. Burritos? Nope. Shredded beef? Nah...how bout a carne asada plate? You guessed it, no!My wife and son both got street tacos. Street tacos with brisket instead of carne asada huh? The tacos came and both said they were seriously under seasoned and lacked flavor. Asked for hot sauce... you know, tapatio, chalula, el yucateco- Mexican hot sauces. They said they only have Tabasco. Tabasco on tacos? Nahhhh I'm good. My daughter got the Laredo and she was cool with it overall. I still don't understand why everyone does ground beef tacos out here. That's for homemade cheap n easy tacos. When I'm at a Mexican restaurant I expect a better cut of meat and for it to be marinated. I guess Arizona spoiled us. I just grabbed the beef fajita enchiladas. Question- why don't they put ENCHILADA sauce on enchiladas?? Instead it's a thick red sauce they call gravy. Not my style. The rice was good thoThe margaritas I kept seeing good reviews on... laughable. Very disappointing. My wife got a watered down "beer margarita" and I got the margarita flights that were pure syrup. Overall, I wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back. On to the next option.

Came here last night because my husband used to come here with his family a long time ago! Service and margaritas were great! And so were the cheesecake sopapillas! The fajitas were just ok. Like that they bring out black bean dip and warm salsa at the beginning but my husband likes his salsa cold or room temp and I have to agree! Was an ok place but nothing I would crave to come back to unfortunately. Greta for a little neighborhood spot if you're close by and need something quick but just not that impressive!

This is now my favorite Mexican restaurant in Missouri City. The food has been delicious the two times I've been here. Their Margaritas are strong , it'll make you pucker .

Great service. Greeted warmly. Excellent service and really good food. You feel like you are very special here.

Great food, great environment, friendly staff and service, definitely recommend and will be coming back

We visited this spot by chance. The rain made us decide to stop at the next restaurant. La Escondida for the win! The restaurant was clean and the food was excellent. The waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. They have a daily special and today was $3 off all enchiladas. They also have a happy hour with $8-$12 drinks. I had shrimp enchiladas with rice and beans. My husband had lunch fajita beef tacos. It came with cheese, sour cream, guac, and pico. He didn't have any rice tho. The food was delicious and fresh. The drinks were good too. We will be back again.

Food was underwhelming and the water had a weird taste did not drink after that first sip.

always good and great serviceFood is perfectTake out is always correctGreat bar area

The food had no seasoning, near flavorless. We got take out and the cheese and sour cream was just enough for one fajita. The salsa was very bland. The vegetables for the fajitas included bland vegetables with two slices of whole corn including the uneditable part and the stock of asparagus, without the tips, and not even one jalepeno.. The only thing we liked was the tortillas. Just sad considering they claim to be upscale. Not even close. We would never consider trying this place again,.
