    Eduardo was awesome as usual. The food is outstanding and the frozen margaritas were perfect. This is our go to place on Friday night. Went to North Italia Saturday night and there margaritas were a waste of money with no alcohol in them. Should have came back to Escalante’s. See you next Friday.

    We were seated right away. The hostess greeted us and was friendly. They served our chips and salsa when we sat down. The server was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the prices are reasonable. Love ambiance. Enjoyable evening

    Eduardo our server was awesome. Recommended salmon for my wife and it was cooked perfect. Happy hour lasts until 630pm which is longer than other restaurants. The frozen margaritas were a great deal. Outside atmosphere was amazing last night.

    Mediocre, expensive, Tex-mex restaurant with a lackadaisical staff and a cruise ship dining hall ambiance.
