Review Escalante's Mexican Grille - Houston

Great service with delicious food and a cool decorative atmosphere. They have a large patio and a small side patio with a pretty waterfall outside. The vibe feels like an old world pretty Mexico city. The 3:00 pm - 6:30 pm happy hour is good with $6 margaritas and sangrias. They also have $7 happy hour house wine. They offer happy hour "bar bites" but they must be ordered and eaten at the actual bar. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered the roasted corn bisque soup (cup) with a side of their cilantro lime rice. The soup was wonderful and I added the rice to it for extra filling. Their rice is my absolute favorite of all Mexican restaurants. It is so different and delicious. I've been to Escalante's several times and I am always pleased with my experience. They have delicious beef fajitas I have tried in the past, and had I need hungrier, I would have ordered those again. My total for 2 white wines, 1 sangria (both happy hour prices), cup of soup and side of rice was $33.12 without tip. Excellent place for great food!

Perfectly adequate food. Though slightly bland. Even when we asked for spicier sauce for the chips, still not particularly spicy. They signature guacamole was too chunky with things and not enough actual avocado. Shrimp tacos were good. Nice service and a nice space.

The food is delicious. The salsa is mild. I like the portobello veggie fajitas. The tortillas are homemade and amazing.

Everytime I come to town I make a point of dining here. Always fresh, friendly fast place to great a meal. Fresh chips and the salsa is just right, not to spicy or mild... perfect. See you next time I'm in town.

This is honestly one of my favorite Mexican places. I've been here quite a bit, including getting it from door dash. Everything always taste so delicious! My go-to order is always the shrimp enchiladas. I could eat these every single day! They also have my favorite queso. And everyone is always so nice!

Brunch on Sunday can’t be beat! I had Tulum Tacos with scrambled eggs and chorizo for only $13. Big avocado slices! and came with salad on the side. My husband had Los Cabos Tacos. They subbed guac for the eggs since hubby can’t eat eggs. Very accommodating with wonderful service! Great place for brunch!

Our server was exceptional. The place was clean & not too loud, the food was okay, but for the cost, I'd have expected it to be awesome. In all honesty, my wife and I shared a quesadilla & chips & queso. I need to try more to make a better opinion - what I've said was just that, though.

I really loved it!!! I had the pleasure of eating there and it was a relaxing experience. I loved everything about the place... The food, the atmosphere, the customer service, incredible, Nina specially (I think that's her name), she was a kind person since I arrived. Definitely, I would come back again and again!

Amazing food, great service, lovely ambience. The food is rich and tasty as hell!!! Prices may seem to be a bit high, but the quality of food justifies it. The staff is friendly and takes great care with respect to serving, refills and taking feedback. Ideal place for large groups. Make sure you order the "Tres Leches" - It is the champion of all desserts, in fact, all dishes!!! The moment you have one spoon, you're sure to have tears of joy! One of the best desserts I've ever had!!

Their soups never disappoint. Always friendly hostesses and energetic wait staff are inviting every single time I have come into this establishment. I have tried their flautas as well as their tacos. Each dish as been delicious and they have been consistent with their ingredients being fresh.

For starter’s my server was incredible! My margarita was smooth and so good with the strawberry fruit added. My shrimp enchiladas were delicious as well. I’m not a queso person, but their’s was good. I sat outside near the front and there was a problem with those ugly black birds. They were so bold, that they were trying to come on my table to steal nachos. I would recommend them putting up a screen to prevent this.

Escalante’s is always a favorite very consistent at each location. Staff has never been an issue and you see the manager working the floor as well. I recommend the chicken flautas if you have never been here before you can’t go wrong. Definitely a more dining etiquette establishment unlike more of your classic Mexican restaurants.
