Ted's Café Escondido

The cilantro laced salsa was perfect! The portions were ample and delicious! We had a party of 10 and had no complaints.

The food is excellent your atmosphere is nice the waiter waitresses are nice

I used to really like Ted’s at their old location and live right up the road from where they moved their new location so we figured we’d give it a try. That was by far the worst Mexican food I’ve had in a very long time. I’m not sure what has happened but that was not the Ted’s I remember. I got shrimp tacos and had a stomach ache afterwards, the food was bland and had no flavor. The cheese and salsa were terrible and not at all like in the past. My family both got the Mexican flag meal and said it was horrible and bland and they both complained of stomach aches afterwards. Our waiter was dismissive and acted too busy for us as if he had too many tables (it wasn’t busy). He kept slamming our cups down after a refill and wouldn’t stay around long enough to even ask a question if we needed to. By far the worst experience and I will never go back nor will I recommend anyone else go here. Very disappointed to say the least.

I used to eat at this restaurant when they were at a different location. They closed and relocated to their new spot. This was the first time eating at the new spot. I went during the late afternoon before the dinner rush and was pleasantly surprised to find that their lunch menu was still in effect. Since I looked at this as a new restaurant due to the location, I ordered my go to item for a new Mexican restaurant -- beef enchiladas with chili con carne. This came with an order of beans (I chose refried) and rice. In my opinion, everything was cooked perfectly. Throw in the fact that serve complimentary chips with salsa and queso before the meal and sopapillas after the meal, I can't imagine anyone leaving this place hungry. The service was good, but not exceptional. Overall, I will be returning. This is one of my favorite, if not my sole favorite, Mexican restaurant to eat at.

Very Good all around, service,food and atmosphere! Plus free queso sopapillas.

Restaurant was very nice and the food was great. Had the sheet pan nachos and they were excellent. Enough for several people.
