    What makes it fun

    At Escondido, you’re greeted by a warm patio, Mexican-tile accents, and a relaxed yet lively Tex-Mex vibe. The resort-style indoor/outdoor bar and large patio sets a breezy, romantic mood for sipping margaritas and sharing guac in the breeze. Passing around queso perfecto, brisket chips, carne asada, elote fritters or flautas gives you all the reasons to lean in, compare bites, and flirt over flavor. If you want a date that’s fresh, fun, and full of flavor, Escondido is a nacho-average choice. Taco ‘bout chemistry!

    This is a very nice Tex Mex restaurant in Dallas. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, and tastes great. The servers are very accommodating, and attentive while not overbearing. The patio is a good size and covered, which makes it perfect for outside dining.

    First time at Escondido and was not disappointed at all. Chicken fajitas and chicken enchiladas were both excellent. Our server was extremely friendly and responsive. Chips and salsa as well as the Margaritas were also very good. Certainly worth a visit, and we will be back!

    **5/5 Stars – Tex-Mex Perfection! Escondido Mexican Restaurant in Dallas is a must-visit! Nestled at 5950 Royal Ln, this gem serves bold, fresh Tex-Mex in a vibrant setting. The patio’s cozy with twinkling lights, and the service, led by our server Jerry, was spot-on. Chips and smoky guacamole kicked things off right, followed by standout brisket tacos and Guajillo Glazed Shrimp—perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. Affordable, lively, and with solid vegan options, it’s no wonder Escondido’s a Dallas favorite. Already planning our next happy hour visit!

    Great food and service. Pictured here is the steak and eggs, and the burrito. Both were fantastic - The potatoes are delicious and crispy, while remaining soft in the center. The steak was tasty as well.
