We are giving this fine restaurant 5 stars because they were open on a Sunday. The family that runs the restaurant are outstanding. We're staying in the area and we were told this place has good food. They definitely backed their reputation. I had the chimichanga with rice and beans and could not finish the entire meal. Lunch for tomorrow. We highly recommend you stop by here for some really good Mexican food especially on a Sunday. Lol read more

Escobar's Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp taco - Mexican Near Me - Kanab, Utah

See all

If you ever get to Kanab, you've GOT to go to Escobar's! Our group tried the Chile Verde, Carne Asada Burrito, Tostadas and Enchiladas. All these were so tasty! The best part about Escobar's is Rosa, the owner. She's so friendly and precious! She makes cute jokes with the kids and makes you just feel at home. Don't miss out on stopping by here! read more

The fajitas were good, we also ordered a side of guacamole it looked like green slime on a side plate very unappetizing, the restaurant was so busy and service was super slow, would I go again probably not. read more

Delicious well done food, busy on a Friday night but I'd wait again. Chicken fajitas were very juicy and everyone else loved their dishes. Salsa they bring out to start has just the right amount of spice! read more

We highly recommend the Escobar's Mexican Restaurant. We were visiting Kanab while going to Zion and Bryce Canyon and decided to eat here. I'm glad we did! We had the best meals and great service! It appeared to be family owned and everyone was very friendly. read more

We had the chili releno, burrito, and enchilada plate the portion was huge and so delicious! We returned a few nights later to grab a chili releno and bean and cheese burrito with verde sauce and it was just as yummy! Every time we've ever eaten here it's always hot, delicious and fast friendly service. You cannot go wrong dining here read more

Escobar's is my favorite restaurant in Kanab. The prices are reasonable and I've tried a lot of different things on the menu, and never been disappointed. Keep in mind, Mexican food is super regional, so you might not get the same flavors as your hometown Mexican favorite, but I've grown to absolutely love their food. There can be a long wait sometimes, so it's good to go earlier. Don't expect to walk in at 7 pm and be seated right away. It's small, so bigger groups will wait longer. Rosa (owner and order taker) works incredibly hard, as does the rest of her staff. There are a few vegetarian options, and if you're vegan, you can just ask to leave certain things off, and still have a good meal. Tip: The good is mild, so if you like spicy food, ask for their hot sauce, and then just mix it with the mild salsa, or put it directly on your food. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it! read more

It's true that the further you get away from the border the worse the Mexican food gets and that's true for this place. Mexican food is supposed to be accompanied by typical flavors and spices. I can't tell with the Carne Asada burrito if they forgot to use spices or if they used the completely wrong ones. I took two bites and pushed it aside. The service is your typical small town don't care about the customer service. We sat down and waited 20 minutes to be waited on. We got the food and they never came back outside to ask how everything was. They didn't bring me my rice or beans with the burrito. They didn't bring us a check, I had to go inside and ask how I can pay my bill. This establishment is extremely poorly run and the food is bad, especially for Mexican food that's relatively easy to cook. read more

This place has a good selection of Mexican food they have great tacos and also great service it's a great restaurant!

I'm from Texas. So I don't expect much from Mexican food when I go out of town. But I have to say the food was really good here. The salsa was surprisingly great. BUT. One thing I still can't get... they don't have Margaritas. What?? Can you even eat Mexican food without margaritas? And worst service ever! Our waitress literally never checked on us. We had to ask other servers multiple times if they could have our waitress come out, so we could order etc. read more

The salsa is homemade and amazing and the chips come out warm. The food is good and it comes out quickly. You can see the owner making the rounds from booth to booth. Even on a Thursday night in May, this place was hopping. I had the chili verde burrito on a combo platter. Wife had veggie fajitas. Both were excellent. read more

They're all very kind, and when they get busy, they put the costumers first and work super fast to get your food to you as soon as they can. Their food is delicious, every time I go I tell myself I need to get something other than the first thing I got; vegetarian burrito, but I always wind up getting the same thing because it's so good! 5star for sure thank you guys for all your hard work!! XD read more

After a couple days of rough food in Orderville & a lot of hiking in Zion we were told about this gem in Knab. The best food we had our whole trip. It was a yummy authentic Mexican spot. Enchiladas and the burrito were great read more

So good, we ate there twice. Stayin in Kanab for 5 nights, my husband's fave was the chili relleno, I couldn't get enough of the fish tacos. Everything was so fresh! read more

The best Mexican food we have found in southwest Utah. Seriously, it's by far the best. Whenever we are passing through Kanab, we plan a stop. Sure wish they were open on Tuesdays. We would eat there more often! read more

The most welcoming restaurant I've ever been to. Amazing food, everything we ordered was perfect. The owner was very accommodating, as we got into town late and they still took my order. I will be back for sure any time I am in Kanab! read more

It's a nice family restaurant with tasty food, but don't go when hangry. We dropped by around 7 on a Wednesday night to a packed restaurant and a growing wait list. However the outdoor seating was completely empty, so we asked if we sat outside to be seated earlier. They would not do that due to some excuse about traffic noises and blowing sand. Maybe it's a new policy due to past grievances, but that day was not windy nor was it busy on the street... It would have been a 1 hour wait so we just ordered take-out..and ate in the outdoor seating area. My friend had a wet burrito and I had split a torta and a burrito with my parents. The food was pretty good, but the service and treatment was just so frustrating. read more

Food is good for a small town Mexican food restaurant but the service is awful. If you're dining solo, best to order and take out. The staff ignored me. Every time I needed some thing such as a water refill or Salsa I had to get up and go ask for it. I even had to chase down my bill. read more

The wait is worth it! The giant steaming plates of chile relleños and enchiladas with excellent refried beans are soooo satisfying! Apparently Ms. Rosa only makes the verde sauce on Wednesdays but the rojo is excellent! Come early as this place is no secret and you're gonna have to get in line! read more

Best chimichanga I've had in a very long time. Would highly recommend! Staff was very friendly as well.

Very good food! Escobar's has the best salsa you will find, and every other item on the menu is amazing as well. The rice and queso are both great side dishes, and all our parties' entrees were very yummy. The dining area is quite small, so you may have to expect a wait. Definitely recommend! read more

Chips and Salsa were fantastic. Delicious Mexican food, too bad you can't get a margarita with it.

We stayed two night in this little town and both nights we came and ate here! The food is really good and the owner is very personable! We loved this place got the Escobar burrito and it was delicious ! Also horchata was so good! read more

What a great place! The food was excellent & the outdoor patio is dog-friendly. We plan to return when we are in Kanab.

Small busy little place. Just passing thru with our RV heading to Hurricane - with people waiting outside we weren't sure we should take the time to stop. We put our names in and they said 20 min wait. In 10 Minutes we were seated! I was really hopeful because the wonderful aromas while waiting outside made my tummy really hangry! Our server was to the point but with a smile, and after all they were hooking busy! So when My goofball guy starts asking in a roundabout way if they have southern sweet tea, she gave him THE LOOK but so did I!! BTW, no, they don't! Haha The food was good!! I had fish taco dinner with beans and rice. Corn tortillas and fish covered with yummy coleslaw topping, and decent size piece of fish. Standard beans and rice cooked just right. My guy had chicken chimichanga that was really big - not even the bottomless pit could eat to the last bite! He raved about though! We were not fans of their fried ice cream. I've never had it covered in soggy oatmeal before. Not a fan. But get. The fried dough shell was supper yum! Glad we stopped ( BTW ONLY because I LOVE Mexican food and refused to eat the 2 day old pizza we had in RV for a 3rd meal )! Our tummy's are full and we are off to the next stop. sorry no pics, HANGRY belly wasn't thinking about food ohoto ops! read more

Very good Mexican food and service. Very popular with the locals and tourists alike. The restaurant has a comfortable environment and is clean. The seating appears to have been full during the dinner hours, however there is patio seating, and we were fortunate enough to have arrived at the tail end and waiting for about 15 minutes. The women's restroom was clean. read more

I wanted some queso blanco. Which is hard to find in Oregon. It scratched the itch. The salsa was even better. They brought two baskets of chips. I ordered a ground beef tostada off the lunch menu. There was a good glop of guacamole on top. Prices were good. read more

Stopped by here for dinner and ordered the chili verde. It was cooked good. Liked the food and service was fast.

Excellent food, we enjoyed the chips n salsa, small burrito and steak/chicken fajitas immensely. All wait staff is friendly as well. We wore masks as out of towners but the staff did not, which seems to be pretty common in Utah so can't make too much of a fuss over it. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

You know - it's what Americans expect in Mexican food. It's not the Mexican food I would eat in Mexico, but they make it well, it tastes good, and the portions are huge. It's family-owned and run and they are super nice. Definitely one of the best choices in Kanab! read more

Being vegetarian I was delighted that the fajitas had a little more than just bell peppers and onions and the mesquite flavor was really good . It's a family owned and run restaurant and seems always busy. Service was a bit slow which is why Four stars. read more

The food was very good, service excellent. Go early because it's very small and very popular. If they are too busy they won't take any to go orders either. read more

We are in Kanab fir the week and we have already eaten at Escobar's twice, it's that good! Their was s twenty minute wait the first visit and a fifteen minute wait the second, worth the wait. Family owned with great service! read more

Plan on a wait. Food was delicious. When it's busy, you can't order take-out so plan accordingly. Yummy local find.

Ordered the chicken tostada and fish tacos to go. Bad idea on the tostada (duh), because the crisp was gone by the time I got to it. It had plenty of chicken on top and loads of cheese and lettuce. Beans and rice were also very good. Boyfriend had the fish tacos and liked it. read more

Food was fair, I think it could of used more flavors. Service was a little slow. We ate outside, which was nice, but not much of a view.

Excellent food and service. We had a large party with each person selecting a different dish. All were excellent! The chips and salsa were great. If we are ever in Kanab again, we will definitely eat here again. read more

We love this place. Highly recommend stopping by. Just remember, they are not open on Tuesday and Saturdays.

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because they need a lesson in serving customers. They were friendly when we came in and took our order quickly. They leave pitchers on the tables of water, which is nice. After you are served they NEVER come back. And if you dare to ask for anything they do the eye roll and act like they are doing you a favor....ohhhhhhh and YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A SECOND HELPING OF CHIPS....dumbest thing I have ever heard of in a Mexican restaurant! I have NEVER had to pay for more chips. As stated. Food is great just know the service may be frustrating and set your mind accordingly before you go. read more
