Ted's Café Escondido

"I guess I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my meal. This is by far the best restaurant experience I've received in a long time. Whoever came up with the concept of unlimited personalized queso and salsa for each customer automatically without having to ask, I will say is a genius. That alone would entice me to visit as the leader of the group I brought had mentioned the previous night and made me even more eager to see why everyone was salivating when they heard it's what we were eating prior to leaving the area. Shout out to our server Quinn who killed all by himself. I guess he's their best at serving large groups, because he got everyone one's order (food and drink) correct while remembering who ordered what without referring to his notes. He made sure that all 7 adults plus 20 kids got their refills in a timely manner and to the correct individual. I don't know how much he was tipped, but I say it wasn't enough. My enchiladas were as ordered and the thickness was like I hadn't ever experienced as they were as thick as my thumb or two fingers. I actually was full from those instead of the queso and salsa for once. I could've eaten the salsa as a meal and I would've been satisfied. I suggest visiting any location either as you're entering or leaving the area as you won't or shouldn't be disappointed. I can't wait to return with the same group or with family or by myself."

"Good food. Nice place for some tex mex. Good chips and cheese dip with every entree. Would recommend their hot salsa, great flavor. You can also get tortillas for the table. Portion size was great. Atmosphere was fun, but a little loud. Enjoyed it and will be back!"

"Staff is quick and friendly. LOVE the complimentary salsa, chips, queso and tortillas. The salsa was fresh but not very spicy. Queso was ok but bland. It’s mediocre Tex Mex. The complimentary dessert made up for what the food lacked in flavor."

"The food is good. You get several things included in your meal that you would normally pay for at other restaurants. Their cheese sauce and tortillas and butter are a great addition to the chips and salsa before your meal. And they follow-it up with a warm cinnamon sugar sophapila afterward. Definitely is on our rotation of restaurants we like to eat at."

"Seated right away. Peyton served six of us well. My Shrimp fajitas were very good. The girls really loved their goblets of margaritas. Appreciated the cook made guacamole without cilantro for me. Endless warm thick flour tortillas are always good. No surprises when we eat here."
