Editorial Review for Escalante's Mexican Grille – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Since '93, this Tex-Mex chain has delighted patrons with fresh-cooked dishes, party atmosphere and potent margaritas. Bright colors and plenty of natural light add to the friendly interior with spacious tables and booths and a bustling bar area done in rich teak. The menu features traditional Tex-Mex favorites like fajitas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas and a monstrously popular tableside guacamole. Patrons are a jovial mix of area shoppers, neighborhood regulars and young families. Sunday brunch is also a favorite.

The food is really good. The cheese enchiladas are so great and the sangria is wonderful. A friend and I ate there the other day and she ordered something and when she took a bite she realized it was not what she had expected so they gladly took it back and took it off our ticket. The staff was very friendly and understanding. I would recommend this place to everyone!
Pros: great food

We thought that the staff was helpful. My drink was never below the halfway mark before someone came around to ask if I needed more. Our server was polite and attentive. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and refined for a Mexican restaurant. I like the menu because it has more than just the typical options you would find at every Mexican restaurant with interesting choices that have Mexican flavors. I would say that I would have preferred the salsa a little hotter, but I wouldn't say that it was bland. My parents specifically remarked on how they liked it. We enjoyed everything we ordered including our appetizers. When the weather is nice, the wait for the outdoor seating can get rather lengthy because it is pleasant to just eat and chat outside. Meals are inexpensive. Complimentary valet parking or self park in the lot. Good crowd.
Pros: Complimentary valet, ambience, crowd, menu choices
Cons: Long wait at times for limited outdoor seating
