This place seems like more of a bar/pool hall than an actual restaurant though they do have a big…read moremenu. There's a lot of haphazard seating throughout the place, which is crowded with pool tables. We ordered the pulpo al diablo and the fried fish to go. My fish came with rice, though I was expecting fries. The fish filets were THIN, but breaded nicely. I wouldn't order them again though. The pulpo was good according to my husband. We'd be back for a night of shooting pool and drinking beer, but not the food.

Very nice place. Lots of pool tables, nice food and drinks.. Franco and Hugo are greatread more

After having dinner at a nearby restaurant, we stopped by this place for round 2. We ordered some…read moredrinks, beers, ceviche, 2 lobsters, shrimp, and a tiradito dish. The wait was very long to get our food. It was nice to much on complimentary chips and salsa while we were waiting. Although the food was nicely presented, the food was not as fresh as the other place and not as flavorful either. The service was not very great, but atmosphere was pretty cool. I did enjoy our refreshing drinks though. I think this place is better for drinks and hanging out, not so much as a restaurant.

This restaurant must be relatively new, but I give it 5 stars and I think its the best spot on…read moreZicatela Beach, but I'm not an Escondido expert. I've only been there twice and to be honest, I liked Canabrava so much, I went there for 3 great dinners and for a beatiful breakfast on the porch every morning. The service was not the greatest, but the food was great. We tried most of the entree items and everything was really tasty. I would recommend the catch of the day, which is usually - fresh Mahi Mahi. The steak and grilled dishes were great. The beers and mezcal flowed here, but it was always difficult to get our waiters attention. It is such a liesurely atmosphere in Escondido - it's hard to get too impatient when you're in paradise and the waves are crashing 200 yards from the restaurant. Try to get reservations and request a beachside table - these are preferred. I think the breakfasts here are also very nice. My friends had beautiful dishes, I prefer only coffee with the wonderful Pistachio mezcal crema (be sure to buy some bottles of this!!). I always snuck in a small bottle and had an excpetional pistachio coffee every morning to start the day - so damn good! I'm sure there are many, many great restaurants in Escondido, but for proximity to Zicatela, relaxing atmosphere, beach and great food - I highly recommend this spot and I will go there again on my next Escondido adventure.

I received a flyer for this place today from a woman on the beach, so my husband and I thought we'd…read morecheck it out. The flyer promised a free shot of mezcal. My husband presented the flyer when we arrived and was told by the bartender it would be just a moment for his shot. I ordered a mezcal cocktail, which was fantastic. After about 20 minutes waiting for his shot, he was finally presented with a .5 oz plastic cup of bottom shelf tequila and was told they were "out of mezcal" as we were staring at a whole wall full of mezcal bottles. We then paid, and left. We will not be back.

It was a super disappointing experience. The staff is totally racist!! I went there for a couple of…read moredrinks with two of my friends who are Mexicans. We were asked to leave the comfortable couches and finish our drinks by the extremely uncomfortable table. The waiter told us that couches are reserved for the clients who spend more money. But it was ok for a white single Australian to sit on the couch drinking one beer for two hours. Not cool! Extremely unpleasant experience.

We heard they had the best tacos in the area so we ended up going here to check them out ... good…read moretacos but I actually prefer the tacos at the smoked fish taco place better We both got grilled tacos - I chose a couple shrimp and my partner chose the octopus taco - they both came with pico de gallo, mashed avocado, cabbage and house sauce ... I would say the price was OK for the area (around 55-60 pesos per taco or 100-110 for two tacos) considering the quality of the ingredients and the size of the tacos ... We waited a bit longer than we expected for tacos when it wasn't crowded but we enjoyed the music and clean environment while waiting... One complaint I had was they gave me the wrong tacos ... they also charged me for the wrong tacos too ... they charged me for the tacos with spicy sauce which was a few pesos more but when we brought this up to them they apologized and changed the price no questions asked... I still wish I would have got the tacos I ordered however because although I liked the spicy sauce I felt like it completely overpowered the taco and I really wished I could have tasted the natural flavors in the shrimp and toppings like the avocado since I like the delicate balance Also, I loved the pineapple salsa so much but they only give you the smallest amount of it and I would have loved to have more of the pineapple salsa
