Description

If they quell an urge to overgrill and oversalt, this handsome cafe could become an upscale Mexican staple. Appealing sopes (pizza-style wheels of cornmeal), mashed-on-the-spot guacamole, substantial quesos and rosemary-scented roast chicken are winners; oversizzled grills are not. A brooding mural, cosmetic waiters and spiffy crowd add visual interest.

2010 | Best Red Snapper

Not every Escalante's serves local red snapper. It is usually done as a special, and you have to ask about it.

The skin is extra-crispy, and when you squeeze the lime over the top, the snapper will transform everything you know about fresh fish and make you a true believer. After you try it, you'll be calling Escalante's and asking if it's available. More »
